Thanks for the ping, but I've already found the truth: TIME CUBE .

Time for the mandatory Crank Dot Net link.

[tictoc]

&%$! HTML (or I'm too stupid, which is more likely.

The URL is http://www.crank.net.html

[tictoc]

Aaarrgghh!

People, please pitch in - I need a brain transplant pronto.

i.e. what do you see between the two terminals of a capacitor

Nothing. A capacitor stores charge, and will only complete a circuit linearally if it has an enormous amount of energy--enough to burn through the dielectric barrier in modern capacitors; it would have to jump through the air in the ark, and the air is not a good conductor, though if the cherubim are close it's conceivable.

[medved]

My brother used to work at a Jaguar dealership and one of the passtimes amongst mechanics was to take a capacitor from a Jaguar CDI unit, charge it up and toss it to a new parts boy ("Hey, you brought me the wrong part!") who would usually be stupid enough to catch it and then be lying on his A$$ with his hair standing straight up, or at least the first time... Don't know if he SAW the arc between the cherubim, but you can bet he felt it...

[Pistias]

Yeah, because he completed the circuit by grounding it out touching both plates and the earth. The thing won't discharge if the charge has nowhere to go--i.e., the thing is charging and doesn't have the voltage to jump the terminals itself and/or is not grounded or completed.

It appears that your URL has EVOLVED!

I don't know what is more sad - that early Hebrew scribes manipulated the first 5 books of the Old Testament into a racist comic book,

Are you implying that the copies, down thru the years, are different from the Originals?
Surely thou hast PROOF of such an allegation!

[medved]

Crank.net is just another bunch of feebs trying to demonstrate that everybody with anything to say which is beyond their feeb comprehension is a crank or crackpot.

Kind of like Archie Bunker when Edith asked him if he'd be interested in a performance of the Bolshoy ("Whadda I wanna go watch a buncha communist fruits jumpin aroun in their underwear for?")

[PatrickHenry]

Those who find medved's essays and links useful will also be delighted with these (now updated by adding Crank Dot Net):

The Earth is Not Moving!.
Earth Orbits? Moon Landings? A Fraud! .

[tictoc]

Very neat.

So, any idea what I did wrong?

[longshadow]

Crank placemarker.

Bat guano placemarker.

great post!

Don't know about the consonant reversal being a simple matter of reading right to left versus left to right. If there were a consonant reversal, it would have been deliberate.

[medved]

He wouldn't get mad because people were building a tower and all speaking the same language...

There are reasonable explainations for a lot of what you read in the Old Testament. The article above explains the story of the tower; likewise Velikovsky noted that the term "firstborn" as it is used in Exodus typically meant the upper classes of Egypt who were living in stone and brick dwellings at the time of an earthquake.

Generally, the books of the old testament never say "John went to the bathroom"; it's always "The Lord caused John to go to the bathroom for such and such a reason". That's basically just a writing style. Once you get used to that, the stories are easier to read.

[medved]

Yeah, because he completed the circuit by grounding it out touching both plates and the earth. The thing won't discharge if the charge has nowhere to go--i.e., the thing is charging and doesn't have the voltage to jump the terminals itself and/or is not grounded or completed.

The OT speaks of fire between the cherrubim at times and, once in a while you got somebody stupid enough to touch the thing:

 1ch 13:9 and when they came unto the threshingfloor of chidon, uzza put forth
 his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled.

 1ch 13:10 and the anger of the lord was kindled against uzza, and he smote
 him, because he put his hand to the ark: and there he died before god.
