Thread Killer Champions: Franzbear & Moonbear

In summary, Franzbear is the most prolific thread killer in the forum. He has killed at least 12 threads and is likely responsible for 21 more. His ability to kill threads is not a direct outcome of the evidence (number of last posts). You have to at least factor in the total number of posts by each person (posts in GD) to get a more accurate representation of the killer instinct. Franz and Moonie have so many posts here, they are more likely to be the winning killers. You have to divide the number of kills by the total number of posts during the same period to get a corrected distribution.

My brother was in a motorcycle accident. Some guy in a pick-up ran him off the road! He's alright. His bike took the brunt of it when he hit the curb.

It bothers the hell out of me that some people use a 3000lb vehice as an outlet for their aggression. Where's the love?
I've seen too many people in those big trucks act like they believe they own the road because they drive a big truck. :mad: They should have the vehicle squashed like a bug in one of those big vehicle squasher things while they watch, then be hauled away to prison and held in a cell with a small window facing a parking lot where the prison wardens park big trucks with the super-bright headlights shining right in their window all night long. Oh yeah, and they should make sure it's one with a noisy muffler and gun it every time he starts to fall asleep. That would satisfy all my complaints about those big trucks. :approve: When you drive something that big, you have to be twice as careful, not driving it like a tank in a combat zone.

Though, unless you have real reason to believe the driver of the truck was being aggressive, it's entirely possible they just never saw your brother on a motorcycle. There are a lot of blindspots on those big trucks and motorcycles can be hard to spot sometimes if they're just in the right place next to you, even in a smaller car. I hope your brother is okay and the motorcycle can be repaired. Driving one of those, you have to be doubly careful too, knowing you're not as visible to other drivers, and that you don't have a nice cage around you to protect you during an accident.

Umm, I'm trying to steer away from the whole concept of aggression, not promote it. I believe in a persons right to own firearms, but not for people to use them to settle traffic disputes.

I think I get your meaning though. I'm frustrated as all get out about how a person can be so callous as to attempt to kill someone they don't even know. Was he having a bad day? Ya think?

Well if he was I'd make it my quest for that day to make it even worse :biggrin:

Not necessarily kill the man.. but total his means of transportation for sure

From the way my brother describes it the driver of the pick-up definitely knew he was there. My brother was coming off a rotary and the timing was such that he had to speed up or slow down to avoid this pick-up. My brother chose to speed up. I guess the guy in the pick-up thought my brother was intentionally cutting him off and began tailgating my brother on his motorcycle. My brother begins to decelerate and pulls off to the side to give the driver room to pass. The driver of the pickup begins to pass my brother, but leaves no room as they go around a corner. My brother says he could reach out and place his hand on the guys side window. As they go around the turn my brother is squeezed between the truck and the curb. He hit the curb and spilled his bike over it going about 30mph from what he describes. The driver of the pick-up truck takes off down the road.

A few minutes later another pick-up truck comes by and some people help my brother and put his bike in the back and brought him home.

The way I see it my brother might have been driving irresponsibly and the guy decided to do likewise out of spite. The difference is that it was my brothers life that this man put in danger and he was in no danger at all.

Yeah, it often takes two in a situation like that. When your brother got squeezed out, he probably could have slowed down and dropped behind the truck, but it sounds like it was a bit of a power struggle there. So did the truck actually hit your brother, or your brother just hit the curb? Was it a hit and run? But, yeah, whatever happened, that the truck driver just kept going rather than stop to help or call for help when he saw your brother crash wins him the "I hope there's a hell and he burns in it for eternity" prize. :devil:

Moonbear is plotting something against me. It could be almost anything - syrup of Ipecac with waffles or magnesium sulfate in my coffee

Well, darn! Now I'll have to think of something else.

well, franzbear has just got back from his 'dive to hell' diving lesson. He is now a certified diver, he lost his liscense though because a shark tried to eat him and it messed up the 'ecological balance' of the sea...

Sorry moony. I've been pretty busy. And how can you argue with a statement such as pi = 3, I mean when you're right, you're right, right? I mean what is a few decimal place digits amongst friends, right?


Look, I think it's pretty obvious that cronxeh is picking a fight. I mean really, to make a statement like that on Physics Forum! I just figured I would agree with him now to humor him in front of Franzbear and then jump him in the parking lot.

Ah, that's better. Now I know why we didn't see Cronxeh in here last night. :approve:

Oh hi there cronxeh. That is a very interesting point of view you have on the value of pi. :rolleyes:


Moonbear, sneak up behind cronxeh and wrap Franzbear around his ankles. We can tie the other end to a flying truck and see what happens.

:biggrin: :devil:

I can respect a man who bungs a chair at someone's head then says sorry. Especially when they're sitting on a crate of gunpowder and I have the lighter and the fuse wire. :devil: [for lack of a Wyle E. Coyote emoticon]

By the way, cronxeh says pi = 3. :devil: :-p

I have just had some pie, i think it was apple pie, there again i am not sure
it wasn't a very nice pie, it was far to sweet so i could not taste the filling,
mom bought it from asda i think, then again it may have been tesco's, tesco's
apple pies are all ways far to sweet, asda is going down hill, it used to sell
tasty apple pies, ones you could taste the apple in but not any more. i think
i will ask mom to buy apple pies from safe way in the future, though i am not
sure they are any better, but if you do not try these things you know all that
who dares wins stuff, they may be great apple pies, but there again i think they
all buy from the same bakery.

In my area, there is a kind of pie made from red beans. But the pie doesn't look red, they have different color, it is, say, rather black, I don't understand why but perhaps heating with water turns teh beans into something like that or perhaps because of the sugar put into sweeting teh pie (?).
 
  • #8,563
I forgot to tell you about the apple pie i had in our local town shopping mall, it
came with cream, i do not think it was real cream though, i think it was that
stuff that comes in a spray can, but i digress, the apple pie, well it had a very
thin and soggy crust, it could have been apple filling, but it had a syrupy texture
no crunchy apple taste like you get with home made apple pies, i suppose on
a scale of 10 it would get 4, the asda one 5, i think i will give up buying apple
pie as they are rather tasteless.

Sweetened bean pie? I think that's the most disgusting thing I've ever heard of.

Apple pie is good for sick people, probably best with custard, i wouldn't bother
buying one its best to have home made, but there again i do not know about
shop bought american apple pies, they may be better than the ones we have
in the uk, why are you sick ? do you have some dreaded lurgy ? any way i
digress if shop bought apple pies are better in america then by all means buy
one but have home made custard with it.
