How Stupid Are They?

[Rufus T. Firefly]

You couldn't be stupid if you were knocked out cold.

Why not? All depends on how, why and/or who rendered you into that condition.

[HONDO74]

Yup. And did you have fun, Wayne?

No.

Fun is a new discovery. Like discovering a Lionel Autorack car has trouble negotiating a Lionel Fastrack curve.

I am sure everyone knew that but me, so, "How Stupid Was I?"

Looks like a good kit bash project. Cut 12 inches out of the center and glue the ends back together. should work then.

Thank you for the kind words, Murph, but I took the Stupid Test... I passed.

It only has problems with that fasttrack. If you get yourself some o72 fasttrack you'll be good to go.

I have a small house. I was thinking of modifying it for O-27 track.

Rip out some walls? Some sacrifices must be made...

Dr. Seuss museum mural to be replaced amid claims of a racist depiction

one of the comments from the article.
quote
"It may be a stereotype but is it really inaccurate? It's amazing that Maplethorpe could pass off as art a cross in some urine which is an insult to a billion Christians and be vaunted by the left, while this same self-righteous and arrogant left-wing mentality declares something to be racist which merely accentuates certain physical characteristics which are, in fact, accurate. There's nothing racist about that."

Was Jimmy the Greek wrong?

Was Jimmy the Greek wrong?

Politically wrong. I don't know about factually wrong.

Wikipedia says, "The purpose of slave breeding was to acquire new slaves without incurring the cost of purchase, and to fill labor shortages caused by the termination of the Atlantic slave trade."

Selective breeding between slaves with the aim of developing particular physical traits was extremely rare, however, as most slaves were unrestricted in their choice of sexual partners."

This particular article has plenty of references, but how many references are opinions of the authors? And how many site one example to infer common practice? ==> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slave_bre ... ted_States

[rogruth]

If I remember the Greek claimed that blacks were physically better suited for participation in many sports than white athletes were.
I never heard him say anything about slavery. Of course I could be wrong.

Roger,

Opie and Anthony (O&E)played a clip of Jimmy saying it.
I am not sure what to say about Opie and Anthony except--WARNING--these guys are crude.
Jimmy's statment is played at 1:35 in this clip from the O&E show.=> https://youtu.be/4CS1NXCNZbw

When will the tittle of White Men Can't Jump be changed? It makes fun of my inability to play basketball. All i every wanted to be was an NBA. player. This movie has ridiculed me for 25 years now. I feel that it has made NBA. general managers biased about picking me in an NBA. draft.

To the contrary, it shows that "White Men Can't Jump" is a prejudicial fallacy.

The black crowd gets conned into betting against Wesley Snipes and his white partner, Woody Harrelson. Woody can jump, and they lose their money, over and over.

He was wrong. Here is a still from the 2004 Olymics in Athens. Notice Macin Jedrusinski (white Polish) and Tobias Unger (white German) beat everyone else (all black) to the finish line. Usain Bolt finished in 21.05 seconds.

What Usain Bolt did between 2004 and 2012 is perfect his form. He brought his 200m time down from 21.05 to 19.19. In the meantime, all the white runners, who could have done the same thing, retired and became executives in big companies.

Here is an analysis of Bolts running form after he perfected it.
