So in response to Nutty 9-11 Physics, I got some righteously indignant e-mails telling me to check out janedoe0911.tripod.com/StarWarsBeam5.html for really compelling evidence. I wasn't expecting good science, but I was completely unprepared for the total lack of everyday, common sense knowledge on the site.
Work With Me, People
I'm supposed to be the ivory tower egghead. You're supposed to be the people with practical knowledge here. I don't expect people necessarily to know rocket science, but you should at least be aware of what ordinary fire and mechanical damage to vehicles looks like. You should know what happens when windows shatter on vehicles. Hint: leave something valuable on the seat sometime for a quick tutorial. My own education cost me $80 for a Discman and twice that to get the window fixed.
If you're going to lecture me on advanced and exotic weapons, at least know where the engine is in a fire truck, know that the inner panels of auto doors are not made of metal, and know a little bit about fire and how it spreads, or doesn't. Talk to some people who've experienced fires to find out how capricious it can be.
If it wasn't for the tragedy, the nonsense being corrected here would be hilarious - As it is, it shows monumental crassness.
