  1. This post is either insane or brilliant. I'm not sure which...
  2. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamburger_University :lol: http://www.mcdonalds.com/corp/career/hambu...university.html http://www.mcdonalds.com/corp/career/hambu...curriculum.html I wonder what kind of classes you need to take. Statistics of the average french fry? Regression to the Happy meal? Heritability of lettuce between the big mac and mcfish? Or possibly my favorite, the general elective..."3.5 and you: rolling a die for fun and profit."
  3. Not necessarily. The FA tenders for thsi season were this (with compensation): 850K (round drafted) 1.3M (2nd rounder) 1.85 (1st rounder) 2.35 (1st + 3rd rounder) For another 500K, they could have protected and kept welker. Even with 4 RFA's its only $2 million more to guarantee you keep them.
  4. [star wars nerd] The line in the movie is correct, and you are also correct. Solo made a run through the "Maw" or black hole cluster near kessel to escape the imperials. He traveled through it at barely sublight speeds. So given the fact that being that close to all those black holes, space is warped. Combine that with the fact he was traveling at nearly light speed, they actually say that, yes he did shorten the distance traveled to less than 12 parsecs. Solo also mentions physically looking at his "odometer" for lack of a better term, showed a distance traveled of less than 12 parsecs. [/star wars nerd] A more realistic explanation is that the kessel run is from point A to point B with the maw in between. The typical route through the black holes was 18 parsecs, but not in a straight line. It is a curved path. Solo making it in less than 12 parsecs basically means that he had balls of steel and took a shorter path throgh the black holes, one that took him dangerously closer to them. Kind of like traversing a path from opposite sides of the earths orbit. Ther person who travels the closest to the sun will end up with the "shortest" run.
  5. in other words, you realize that you ar ein over your head, and dont know the first thing about genetics and heritability, hence the reason for your lack of answer, or you lack of a defense to what you posted.
  6. Teams can avoid this by awarding the 1st or 1st/3rd round tenders. They arent much more money, and no one is going to poison-pill away your RFA's when they have to cough up a #1 pick.
  7. Not sure where he is. He prolly needed to clean the McFryer between serving breakfast and lunch. I dont want sausage mcmuffin grease on fries, you know. I still want him to explain how 0.8 heritability means you get 80% of the trait that your parents had. This means that in a few generations, we'll all be morons with 14 IQ's. So i'm not sure how his definition plays in with his eugenics plan. At that point, even the smartest people wont be smart enough to build more power lines to expand the grid. Also, by doing some basic calculations according to his 0.8 heritability definition, and assuming that the average generation is 50 years with a current IQ of 100, the average IQ back in ancient rome was somewhere around 200,000. Mind-boggling, isnt it?
  8. well, not if you can quantum-link yourself to someone at point B. Then you could effectively teleport yourself to point B instantaneously.
  9. So THIS is how Han Solo made the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs.
  10. That would explain everything. It explains his lack of rational thought, his lack of an elementary math and science education, and it would also explain why he has diarrhea of the mouth even when completely and totally incorrect. He does have the typical lawyer "keep on talking even when you are wrong, and flip-flop as many time as necessary to try and prove you are correct" mentality.
  11. Not really. Its similar to getting an MD versus a DDS or Doctor of podiatry or something along those lines. Sure, the latter 2 are still doctors, but they arent "real" MD's.
  12. Thats why he wont say what his degree is in. Because then it will fully expose that he's got no idea of what he's talking about. We know its not math or biology, or probably any scientific related field. My guess is comp sci, from Buff St.
  13. Frank Gore is also on the cusp.
  14. Nike is hell bent on making the ugliest uniforms possible for college sports... ie-see VT, UF, and Miami last college football season with the 1 orange sleeve
  15. probably not, because the theory of relativity states that mass becomes infinitely large when the spped of light is approached.
  16. The franchise tag carries a 1 year, guaranteed salary of the average of the top 5 salaries. There is no signing bonus. currently, a team can only tag a player 2 years in a row. If they tag him a third time, the player gets the average of the top 5 salaries in the league, or the highest franchise tag number (that of a QB).
  17. antonio brown...4.3 speed in a straight line. It was the jukes and cuts that were a problem.
  18. Hmmmm, interesting idea. the tag was designed as basically a way for teams to keep high profile players, and then possibly sign them long term. But in this case, the cheap ass bears dont want to lose Briggs, but they dont want to pay him either. Kinda screws Briggs. Perhaps they could make the tag a 2 year guaranteed deal if you decide to tag a player. I dunno., i am kind of on the fence.
  19. Well, this answers my question of what holcombs arm does for a living. Thanks Lori.
  20. I am still waiting for Russell Copeland to anchor our WR corps with bucky brooks providing the deep threat.
  21. Nope. 100% completely and entirely wrong. I'm not sure how long its going to take you to realize that heritability applies to a population, NOT TO INDIVIDUALS. 0.8 heritability will tell us that of all the variance in heights within the population are 80% due to genetics, and 20% due to environment. 0.8 HERITABILITY DOES NOT MEAN THAT OFFSPRING WILL BE 80% OF THE HEIGHT OF THE PARENTS! just as aside, what the hell is your background? your online diploma and email correspondences courses dont count either. Neither does your bryant and stratton "degree"
  22. keep on yapping, there. Talking more and more doesnt make you any smarter in genetics. And why havent you answered the open questions that you have been asked? So how is your race of smart people going to build more power lines to expand the power grid?
  23. Well, there we have it. 5 months of idiocy all rolled up neatly into 1 post. All you need to add is how the smart people are simply going to build more power lines to expand the power grid and we're set.
