Heh. Well forget the details. The point is, the debate is not over when it comes to Gravity. And neither should it be for man made global warming or whatever its called these days.

I thought maybe this post was going to be about how St.Algore had finally found manbearpig. Disappointed again.

Extremely well written, Stosh! Now I see why your mother always insisted you were her favorite son.

You have read most of this here before, in my posts and posts by Stosh, but I thought you might like to hear it from an authentic NASA scientist. I’m a big fan of Dr. Roy Spencer, and I think the summary he posted yesterday is excellent:

You lost me somewhere between the words “Gravity is not real” and “graviton”.

Sorrry about that, but one’s got to do something to keep the Threedonia crowd interested through all the technical crap.

But there’s no reason Beer’s Law can’t be extended to other venues . . . like what the coed at the end of the bar looks like after the first round, the second round, the fifth round, the tenth round . . .

Good explanation, Stosh, but Beer’s Law was kind of a letdown.

Excellent summary, Stosh. And great analogies.

Guess the weather in my neck of the woods didn’t get Al’s memo. Got a set of frozen pipes on Tuesday and a busted one, yesterday. It’s all Al’s fault!
