ping. b/c the DU thread is hilarious... Just think, if we built the WTC out of chicken wire, even chicken wire with EXTRA holes in it, we would have been better off. stupid engineers... if its good enough for chickens then its good enough for construction.

Excellent idea! And then we can put a gigantic slab of concrete on top of it and have the Jolly Green Giant step on top, just to show how strong it is ........

/sarcasm off

My sister was bitten by a moose in Alaska, and then it ate her cheese. She still hasn't gotten over it...

::snicker:: Scrolling down...

If you would bother to look at spooked's blog and take a look at his profile, you would see he claims to be a biomedical researcher.

Bookmarking for checking when I get home from work. Most DU stuff is far from work-safe.

His feeble attempt at an experiment also did not take into account the firestorm effect that occurred in the real life building.

The fire was big enough and hot enough to suck in enough O-2 that it became a blast furnace. Temperatures where a lot hotter at WTC than this dork could create in his toy experiment.

Now, replace the kerosene with acetylene, and you might have something going.

As for temper vs untempered, the matter of the blast furnace effect is important because that's how temperatures adequate to "de-temper" steel developed.

Of course, it helped a great deal that the builders of WTC had to stop using asbestos liners 1/2 the way up the towers because that would have provided enough insulation to prevent the de-tempering.

I hope whatever he comes up with is tested by people more competent at science than he is.

How do these folks make it through the day without their heads caving in?

I wonder how they have the brainpower to breathe without the need to be reminded....

My grand daughter looks over there from time to time, she says it gives her a "brain ache" after a while and she has to stop.

Trooling DU will give you brain fade....

I think I saw this same setup at my youngest son's middle school science fair.

Prolly (sic) where the DU poster got his inspiration.

A syllogism:

Many buildings have steel structural supports.

Steel chicken wire did not melt when I poured kerosene on it and lit it on fire.

Therefore: 9-11 was the result of a vast government conspiracy organized by a president who is alleged to be too stoopid to have two Ivy League degrees and fly a jet fighter plane.
