"We don't know how they moved the heads. There was a lever and rollers system posited be it proved to be unworkable."
And yet I saw a video where a guy did it.
No, I can't produce a link. You'll just have to believe me.
I Would Like To See That Proof Btw!

Just because one system didn't work, doesn't mean that no system of levers and rollers works. What a stupid argument.
Yeah

I mean when you start laterally thinking, instead of 'dayum, we'll never be able to move something that big by dragging it', or 'aliens must have put it there', I guess there are a multitude of ways you could move a gargantuan stone really.
Also Scampie - I take it back, sorry.

It did work yeah, it was a YouTube video I saw recently that reminded me of it. but they didn't have enough wood to do it on Easter island, so the remaining theory is that they just added more people pushing.
I saw the documentary about it on Easter island :)
Stupid argument? Wasn't arguing.
Easter Island

They ran out of wood because a) they chopped down half of the trees to make rollers (which have a finite life-span) and b) they used the other half to burn in their trenched during the long-ears and short-ears wars.
At least, that's what a man down the pub told me, and I believe him.

'Hamburger Hill' - WIP:

Absolute nonsense really, but I'm learning how to draw 500'000 gibs onto a screen without making the computer shit its pants :) Seems to be working.
If you are a sicko or really impatient, and don't mind the browser shitting its pants, here's a version with 200 soldiers, each expelling 100 gibs on their death, so there are 20'000 particles in the air simultaneously sometimes. But once they 'settle' the speed miraculously recovers (easy way to test 500'000 particle theory anyway):

Is this an elaborate joke? I mean, like that fake North Korean documentary wasnt actually made by a 13yo youtube kiddie? Or that Zeitgeist or Kony crap. Man, the line on the web between meta and idiotic gets so meta sometimes I cant see shit straight.
Is It Me Or Is Google Being Incredibly Useless Lately?

they changed their algorithm to prefer big pointlessly long queries that contain lots of useless extra words purely so that they can have an excuse to ignore most of it.
Glad I'm Not The Only One...

Personally, I'd prefer it if it was only me - at least then I'd be able to get someone to tell me what I was doing wrong and maybe get it usable again.
Even better would be if it was only you, of course, but that's perhaps a selfish preference. :P
