Debunking Humor...

Haha, love it. A Vulcan in Star Wars.





The Vulcan was also known as the V-bomber
The term V bomber was used for the Royal Air Force (RAF) aircraft during the 1950s and 1960s that composed the United Kingdom's strategic nuclear strike force known officially as the V-force or Bomber Command Main Force. The strategic bombers, whose names all started with the letter "V" and which were known collectively as the V-class, were the Vickers Valiant (first flew 1951, entered service 1955), Avro Vulcan (first flew 1952, in service 1956) and Handley Page Victor (first flew 1952, in service 1958).

famous for the incredible "Black Buck" raid of the Falklands conflict

where they flew non stop from the Ascension Islands to bomb the runway at Port Stanley

apologies if you know this - but quite a feet

PS going to see Star Wars tomorrow - quite excited!!!


Honestly, Ive always loved AV ROs birds.. they're beautiful in form and function. Ive seen ONE.. ONE Avro Arrow in my life.. it was a full mockup (but not flight worthy for legal reasons) made of all the left over parts that have been scavenged and saved from the break down and tear down the CDN gov't ordered all those years ago. The parts that couldnt be found, were hand made from scratch by some of the very same engineers that built her in the first place. Shame that such a magnificent aircraft never saw the light of day in reality
 
Not debunking humor at all really, but since a lot of us here are gamers (and mick used to code games) I figured you guys would get a chuckle.


 
I don't have proof of this debunk, perhaps it's better here?

Reddit, like the rest of us, delighted in the numerous ironies in the militia asking for donations less than a week into the siege. The militia once claimed that it had enough supplies for years. Apparently not...............After posting their address online, several redditors decided that the militia could be a little more fabulous. Reddit user Skinc started the trend by saying that he has sent a glitter bomb

....about how beginning to bend the truth, often leads to a thorough breaking of it.

I would suggest not watching the trailer(s), as per usual, they give too much of the plot away.

Here is a small clip....



Here's an interesting article about faith and satire, from The Atlantic, "Why Christians Need to Laugh at Themselves"

(Jon) Acuff says, “To use satire to explore religion is to admit that some of it is weird or to admit you’re still learning or to admit that you have doubts.”

Satire, which he defines as “humor with a purpose,” is different than aimless and vicious mockery. The latter is a “short cut to a laugh that removes one’s ability to speak the truth in love” and something he says the Bible condemns. Satire also has boundaries, so Acuff says he stays away from jokes about more sensitive theological matters such as communion or Easter. Not every South Park-style joke is beneficial in his view; each person has to negotiate their own personal boundaries.......

....Acuff and Issacs are joined by Sammy Rhodes, a campus minister at the University of South Carolina whose humorous perspectives, often on faith, have garnered him more than 100,000 Twitter followers. (He recently tweeted, “When God closes a door, he opens a Target.”) Rhodes has found that satire is particularly effective in communicating with the students in his ministry.

“My students feel more connected to someone who is using humor than someone who takes themselves way too seriously,” he says. “Most of my students get news from The Daily Show and John Oliver. They want to have serious conversations, but humor often has to be a part in order for them to have it.”

Then one of my mates posted this back one below to me today, which gave us all another good giggle, but I did try to find the real name and use of some of these things pictured here that I know are not "chemtrail" spray units in the
"Useful Chemtrail Debunking Images and Infographics" but I couldn't find any, could anyone please direct me to information about these pictures in this link. Thanks

hahahah ... just saw this post and then right underneath was this one ... facebook you troll smile emoticon

Will this help ?.....

Very sinister looking tubes, but why are half of them facing the wrong way?

The plane is not for spraying the atmosphere, it’s for sampling the atmosphere. It’s a research aircraft, registration N701BN, operated by th e department of energy’s national labs. It’s pretty much one of a kind, so it’s hardly likely to be responsible for all the persistent contrails we see every day.
....The research is mostly on pollutants in the atmosphere, particularly from coal and oil burning power plants. But they also investigate the properties of clouds, which includes contrails.

LOL I posted that to my FB page last week, great to see it here I also posted this one you may like.



and this one which I am not sure is appropriate for this site, sorry if it isn't... (removed: off topic)



Langauge can be so confusing, even when we (UK) speak the same language you (US+Canada) do.

Probably the purest example of "debunking humour" I've come across

Light bulbs? No, they're Dark suckers.

I think the following makes a great analogy of a certain conspiracy theory. http://www.boyscouttrail.com/content/story/dark_suckers-957.asp


For years, it has been believed that electric bulbs emit light, but recent information has proved otherwise. Electric bulbs don't emit light; they suck dark. Thus, we call these bulbs Dark Suckers.

The Dark Sucker Theory and the existence of dark suckers prove that dark has mass, is heavier than light, and is faster than light.

First, the basis of the Dark Sucker Theory is that electric bulbs suck dark. For example, take the Dark Sucker in the room you are in. There is much less dark right next to it than there is elsewhere. The larger the Dark Sucker, the greater its capacity to suck dark. Dark Suckers in the parking lot have a much greater capacity to suck dark than the ones in your room.

As it is with all things, Dark Suckers don't last forever. Once they are full of dark, they can no longer suck. This is proven by the dark spot on a full Dark Sucker. A candle is a primitive Dark Sucker. A new candle has a white wick. You can see that after the first use, the wick turns black, representing all the dark that has been sucked into it. If you put a pencil next to the wick of an operating candle, it will turn black. This is because it got in the way of the dark flowing into the candle. One of the disadvantages of these primitive Dark Suckers is their limited range.

There are also portable Dark Suckers. In these, the bulbs can't handle all the dark by themselves and must be aided by a Dark Storage Unit. When the Dark Storage Unit is full, it must be either emptied or replaced before the portable Dark Sucker can operate again.

Dark has mass. When dark goes into a Dark Sucker, friction from the mass generates heat. Thus, it is not wise to touch an operating Dark Sucker. Candles present a special problem as the mass must travel into a solid wick instead of through clear glass. This generates a great amount of heat and therefore it's not wise to touch an operating candle.

Also, dark is heavier than light. If you were to swim just below the surface of the lake, you would see a lot of light. If you were to slowly swim deeper and deeper, you would notice it getting darker and darker. When you get really deep, you would be in total darkness. This is because the heavier dark sinks to the bottom of the lake and the lighter light floats at the top. That is why it is called light.

Finally, we must prove that dark is faster than light. If you were to stand in a lit room in front of a closed, dark closet, and slowly opened the closet door, you would see the light slowly enter the closet. But since dark is so fast, you would not be able to see the dark leave the closet.

Next time you see an electric bulb, remember that it is really a Dark Sucker.

Light bulbs? No, they're Dark suckers. ...

You just reminded me about a kids' science fiction book I read when I was little, involving people from the Moon who did everything a bit differently from us. I specifically remember something about "the speed of dark". (The book probably dates from the early 1960's -- anyone remember it?)
