'Twas indeed good. House is too much of a genius though--maybe it's a hallucination again? He knows everything! God! Haha.

okay someone here had to have watched that :wideeyed:

If you look at the whole article, all of the pictures of the cast seem to be in their show wardrobe--does that mean that is similar or is what Chrissypoo is gonna wear in Extras? :wideeyed: Or maybe they're not--but God, that's one hot Chris pic. :dead:

^^oh, but Chris looks oh-so-good in white. :nice:

OMGAH! Ian posted the whole article in the "Extras" thread. :wideeyed: http://www.coldplaying.com/forum/showthread.php?t=33862 :dead: :dead: :dead: He's not wearing black--amazing! :laugh3:

Dude we can go one forever, lol. Shit... I have a paper to write... Fuck! I could've written one in all that time I was typing out crap. Damn. Well, I'm off to write my paper--thanks for the enlightenment about the many different theories about what happened on 9/11. :)

Haha, yeahhh... at least I haven't been attacked by one! :) ...yet. :uhoh: Ah well--I think I'll be able to fight off (or at least run away from) a hobo... maybe not a hobo with a wrench, but a hobo...

Forget about the pancake theory thing--the pancake theory was by some other "expert", I got it confused with the NIST report. quote: While NIST cherry-picks a feature of the Towers' destructions that differs from conventional, bottom-up demolitions, it conveniently ignores numerous features that are apparently unique to demolitions, including: * Rapid onset, accompanied by sounds of explosions * Radial symmetry about the building's vertical axis * Consistent pulverization of non-metallic materials * Total destruction of the building

I'd cry if I got shot. Ow. Actually, I'd probably been in such shock that I'd just be unconscious shortly after. /end random interjection Hobos are freaky sometimes. I was walking by this one guy in Los Angeles and all of a sudden he went crazy--"YOU RICH SON OF A BITCHES ARE ALL GOING TO HELL. YOU WON'T GIVE A HOMELESS MAN ANYTHING? [points to bag on his back] 28 YEARS AND THIS IS ALL I'VE GOT! FUCK YOU ALL!" You can imagine that I started walking quite briskly. Oh yeah, and there was this crazy hobo in San Fransisco at a gas station I was at--we were in our car and he started storming around the gas station saying "I'M GONNA KILL YOU ALL!". I locked my door.

It has also been challenged, y'know... they use the pancake theory, and the pancake theory has been challenged by phycisists around the world. :thinking: I don't think everything has really been "proven"... NIST (National Instute of Standards and Technology) said that: The tower's intact structure was "unable to stop or even to slow the falling mass" of the top section of the tower falling above it. 911research challenges it: * Requires us to believe that the massive steel frames of the towers provided no more resistance to falling rubble than air. * Ignores the fact that the majority of rubble fell outside the towers' footprints, and hence could not contribute to crushing. * Is unsupported by any calculation or logical argument. Not much has been proven with hard evidence, so you can't immediately debunk the theory that the planes didn't cause the collapse, also. The "proven" theories have a lot of holes. Nothing has been debunked completely.

I've seen loads of implosions, but not many buildings falling by plane, since it was the first. :thinking: Sorry about the steel grid thing--It's not all a steel grid--I remember hearing that in a documentary but now I remember that the floor plans had the steel core in the middle and office space surrounding it with a steel frame. I've also heard that floors of the WTC were closed for "renovations" frequently before 9/11. I have to dig up where I found that somewhere... According to a BYU physisist: "Almost all large buildings will be the location for a major fire in their useful life. No major high-rise building has ever collapsed from fire… The WTC [itself] was the location for such a fire in 1975; however, the building survived with minor damage and was repaired and returned to service.” (Glover, 2002) That’s correct – no steel-beam high-rise had ever before (or since) completely collapsed due to fires! However, such complete and nearly symmetrical collapses in tall steel-frame buildings have occurred many times before -- all of them due to pre-positioned explosives in a procedure called “implosion” or controlled demolition. What a surprise, then, for such an occurrence in downtown Manhattan— three skyscrapers completely collapsed on the same day, September 11, 2001, presumably without the use of explosives." And, according to a architect/phycisist: "A controlled demolition would have exploded debris horizontally at a rapid rate. A controlled demolition would also explain the fine, pulverized concrete powder, whereas pancaking floors would leave chunks of concrete." And it was observed that the antenna of the north tower started falling half a second before the rest of the building. How does that happen? It suggests that the steel core started collapsing before the rest of the building, even though the steel core is the strongest part of the building. Ah I don't know... no one really does. Meh.

What science? :thinking: Gimme your facts, and I'll give you mine.

I still don't know what to believe about 9/11. It's gonna be 5 years since 9/11/01 in a few days, and it's a shame that no one really knows (well, some freaks do) exactly what happened that day. The government is obviously hiding something. ^Apparently he wasn't really an expert. :rolleyes: If you axe the upper trunk of a tree (I know the WTC is a lot different from a tree, but bear with me...), the whole thing won't fall. The top might, but there's roots in the ground that would keep the rest from falling. The WTC had a bedrock foundation, reinforced elevator floors, etc etc... I don't have a single doubt in my mind that planes alone didn't take down the two towers. The WTC was indeed designed to be able to take a commercial jet--infact, it could've taken many jets. The WTC is a dense steel grid--think about it. If you have a steel grid, and a chunk of it is ripped out at the top by a plane, the rest would be able to support it. And dont' bring up that "oh, the steel melted and it collapsed on itself" stuff. It would've been able to support the weight of itself--the momentum of the top of the tower falling wouldn't demolish the rest of the tower. It wouldn't bust through those reinforced elevator floors as easy as the rest of the floors, too. Did you see how that thing crumbled? It was completely obliterated. If it fell simply by the plane alone, it'd look a lottt messier. The WTC shared many characteristics of a controlled implosion. I'm not saying the government pulled their own buildings--terrorists could've put bombs in the WTC ahead of time, I have no friggin' idea. The US government could be embarrassed that their security was so easily breached and decided to blame it all on the planes. I don't know. Or, you know, they could've done it themselves...

Uh... random Coldplay thought... hm... Oh yeah, I was in this store at the mall yesterday called Sirens and there was this cool remix CD playing--they were playing this remix of Dance Dance by Fall Out Boy that I ACTUALLY LIKED, hahaha. Anyway, all of a sudden that song merged into the Thin White Duke remix of Talk. Didn't see that one coming, heh.

Haha, you're welcome. :smug: Uh, I knew this guy that was really into self-defense... haha.

Biting is good. So is pinching (at the biceps it really hurts), elbowing the nose (it makes the attacker's eyes water uncontrollably), kicking the groin (do I need to explain that?)... After hitting someone in the nose and kicking their nuts (if they have any), it's easy to make a get away. :)

HOLY CRAP PEOPLE IT STARTS TOMORROW AT 8 PM :wideeyed:

Never been mugged. No one dares to mess with me, biatch. :smug: No one I know, at least, cuz they know I carry pepper spray, occasionally a knife, and I have some basic self-defense skills. You should take brazillian jiu-jitsu or something. Teach that hobo a lesson, haha.

Hahaha.

^^oooh! Snow! Lucky. :bigcry: Nice picture. :P I drew Dr. House! Haha. Or, tried at least...

Meh. Oh well.

Haha, I've made this comparison many times... but... That's more like Chris looking like House than House looking like Chris, haha.

whoa! how cool! a surfing duo! haha. man I wish I surfed--I'm not rich enough to surf, haha. Only bodyboard. boo. 1.) surfboards are expensive 2.) driving to the beach all the time would rack up gas mileage 3.) it's really expensive to live near the coast in California Chris and Gwyn should try snowboarding in the winter--southern Cali has a bunch of snowpeaked mountains in December and January, and it's hella fun. :) It's somewhat risky for an A-List actress to snowboard, though. :laugh3: Water is a little bit more forgiving than packed snow. There's always the bunny slope... edit: Haha, I just noticed Chris and Gwyn are riding really tiny waves, hehe. They should come to Huntington CA aka Surf City USA, or Hawaii. :)

Nosebleeds? I just had one this morning. I started while I was sleeping so I have a lot backed up in my throat. Ick. My nose used to bleed at least 4 times a week like... for a month... in the morning, but now it's just maybe...3 times a week at most... haha. It's really hot and dry here in the southern California desert... so...
