Great one-liners from PF members

@PeroK strikes again!

I don't what else to say except that you just didn't get it.

I didn't know there was a user on PF called Abraham Lincoln.

 

[PeroK]

I didn't know there was a user on PF called Abraham Lincoln.

He's from back in the early days.

 

[Ibix]

He's from back in the early days.

He's Don Lincoln's uncle, or something.

Please try to remain on topic and avoid political statements, disguised or not.

I'll try to set the thread on its rails again:

If you can't make a quantitative prediction, you don't really have a theory.

If one does not perceive gravity then it has no effect. The experimental evidence can be found in Road Runner cartoons. $-$ @jbriggs444

First, if you are angry enough to think you might have done damage to a house, you need to seriously consider anger management. $-$ @Vanadium 50

 

[PeroK]

You really not barking up the wrong tree with this so much as you are barking up a tree that doesn't even exist.

Did you recognize the irony considering your avatar?

I know nothing. Nothing!

[sysprog]

. . . is anyone here pedantic enough . . .

How do we measure that?

Whatever the SI unit of pedantry is, I'm sure a different unit is in common use in the USA. $-$ @Vanadium 50

 

[fresh_42]

I will say if you need to invoke Wittgenstein to try and figure out what the OP means, it might be a sign that there might be a little bit of a clarity shortage.

 

[Vanadium 50]

At greater than 200 posts I think it is pretty evident that there has been no stifling of the discussion whatsoever.

 

[PeroK]

You probably should look into such compulsions, because some of what you say is just not so.

 

[phinds]

I HAVE to include these two of favorites of mine even if they are my own:

it is unfortunate that you "understand" this since it is totally wrong.

I recognize every single word in that post, but strung together in that particular order, I can't make any sense out of them at all.

 

[Vanadium 50]

"I don't want you to get the impression that it's just a question of the number of words. Getting them in the right order is just as important."

Even though it was directed at me, I still have to appreciate it.

Of course, if the student has never seen a determinant before, this is as useful as a Siamese-Swahili Dictionary. ("Once you know one, you can teach yourself the other!")

@Vanadium 50 (I think that he may be not-so-secretly one of the Vanir) is a very witty guy $\dots$

"One of the Vanir" is an anagram of "Not heaven for I".

For what it's worth, I had determinants years before knowing anything about cross-products.

$\mathrm {vanir \rightarrow vana \rightarrow}$ 'dis' $\rightarrow$ goddess $\rightarrow$ 'ium' [non-feminine ending] well I hope that this thread can continue to be about Great One-Liners

 

[sysprog]

What the X? Did you just notice that on autopilot, or is that a known thing? or maybe you really are one of the Vanir? and if so, maybe you'd rather be one of the Aesir?

I'm starting to become curious about you.
