Is that you, Andy?
Or maybe Amos.
Many years ago there was a wonderful radio program, AMOS AND ANDY.
Of course the idiots banned it.
But it was full of witticisms that were excellent mirrors of life.
In one episode, Amos or Andy, I don’t remember which, in his one sentence analysis of how to handle trouble “ I just closes my eyes ‘til it goes away.”
Welcome back Amos. We old guys missed you.
Oh, I'm not suggesting that such articles ("improbable" to the point of "almost certainly false") should be ignored. The question is whether such articles contribute to FreeRepublic in a positive, informative, useful, humorous, or other worthy manner.
Fringe opinions on scientific matters sometimes prove true eventually, but not many do. Lots of them show up in the Weekly World News.
Heck, for many years I had a subscription to the Weekly World News, because that was the only place that certain types of offbeat stories got published, alongside the obviously fake ones.
I remember Amos and Andy, Kingfish and his wife, Sapphire, the lawyer Eustase P Calhoun ...
Loved thd show.
“But it was full of witticisms ...”
“Amos & Andy - Invisible Glass”
“Hydra-matic acid, 100 degrees Centipede, etc ...”
