JPS said...: I listen to a fair amount of "Wait, Wait - Don't Tell Me", with varying degrees of exasperation, and I'm pretty sure that's the cleverest thing Peter Sagal has said.; 4/25/22, 9:35 AM
Rusty said...: Apparently this mornings Althouse theme is "GAY".
Are we supposed to be entertained? Educated? Is there something profoundly gay we're supposed to take away from this?; 4/25/22, 10:02 AM

Sprezzatura said...: I didn’t know that he used planes.

I assumed he went everywhere on his Harley with ham sandwiches stuffed in the pockets of his clothing that only cost him $7.42, after all of his coupon clipping and bargain hunting.

Presumably even when he’s on a plane he’s still got his sandwiches and cheap clothes. As he’ll let you know over and over and over and…….; 4/25/22, 10:45 AM

That's one of the stupidest comments I have ever seen. What, did you aim at a different post and end up smearing Governor Walker with your homophobia?; 4/25/22, 10:54 AM

Lurker21 said...: IPhones, texting, and autocorrect are changing how we communicate. From now on everything is only approximate and one has to assume that errors have been made. The decline in precision and exactitude in writing is definitely a bad thing, but everyone who ever was sent to grammar or spelling jail by the grammar or spelling police, as well as everyone who resisted their English teachers' advice to always pretend to be more certain about things than one really is, will have mixed feelings.

That's one of the stupidest comments I have ever seen.

The Island of Misplaced Comments is near the North Pole, and once a year Santa Claus distributes the comments to the threads they belong to -- if you are good.; 4/25/22, 11:07 AM
Original Mike said...: "If photons are massless how does gravity (e.g., black hole) bend light?"

By curving space-time.

If Walker is massless, why does he need a plane?; 4/25/22, 11:24 AM
Michael McNeil said...: Photons aren't massless, they're “rest mass-less” — which is to say, if you could ever bring them to a physical halt, then they would have no energy left (have no “rest mass”) and thus would cease to exist. However, if the photon exists, then it has energy — and it therefore possesses mass precisely equivalent to that energy, by Einstein's famous E = Mc^2 (or rather its converse M = E/c^2).; 4/25/22, 11:37 AM

I like it.

So does Rusty, probably.

Meade too.; 4/25/22, 11:50 AM

Gravity slows time, the closer you are to the mass, the slower time flows. This causes the path of an object to bend, similar to the way that ocean waves that are traveling diagonal to the shore bend towards the shore due to traveling slower in the shallower water.

tim in vermont said...: Maybe his masks were made out of Higgs bosons.; 4/25/22, 12:23 PM
n.n said...: He's an independent mass inside an object that is perpetually correcting its motion in order to follow the curvature of the Earth.; 4/25/22, 1:16 PM
Butkus51 said...: Ive never seen a mass, much less a church on a plane so technically he's right.

Now lets do Joe. Or sweet dick willies GF.; 4/25/22, 1:24 PM
TheOne Who Is Not Obeyed said...: The unbearable lightness of Scott Walker.

OTOH, Act 10 is still in force.; 4/25/22, 1:35 PM

" @Rusty

That's one of the stupidest comments I have ever seen."

Slow down a minute professor. Let’s give this some thought. Around here "stupidest comment I have ever seen" is a really high bar. Have you reflected on some of the cracker nonsense that posters like Tim in Vermont, Drago, Can of Cheese, and Michael K have posted over the years?; 4/25/22, 3:55 PM
gpm said...: >>He always was a masshole.

When did he live in Massachusetts? Cuz we've got the monopoly.

Forget Newton. Think Einstein.

Thanks. I knew there was a reason but didn't recall.; 4/25/22, 9:52 PM
Rusty said...: Won't be the first time. Won't be the last.
Just to clear something up. Not a homophobe.
Just weary of the tedious self congratulations."Yay! I'm gay!" Good. Got it. I genuinely don't care what sexual hijinx you engage in with someone else.
Carry on.; 4/26/22, 9:13 AM
