What's up with the general population of Forum Flamers?

[Badjelly]

and probably Ixion too since he has diverted us light years from the original topic

Which was?

Sure you've got the correct Scotsman and the correct Ducrappi?

Lor'n'beggorah! Awae wiv'ye! Blardy girly kilt wearing, claymore yippee yi yippee yay flamenco dancing, salt on porridge with a thistle on top scoffing, tight as a virgin nun's arse, drenched in liquid sunshine, ladle an accent so thick its like treacle blardy Scotsgit!

'sides, I hear your Ducrappi is like a Gixxer at the moment, on its side and wondering where all the bits went!

Your 200HP or your 240kph overtaking capability doesn't make your cock any larger.

say it ain't so! now whats the incentive to get a bigger bike??

Einstein would be proud

Get a grip! Hitcher has lost the bloody plot with that one... one of the important points in the theories of relativity is that NOTHING can exceed the speed of light in vacuum.

My cat moves pretty fast when i try to vacuum it.....

Alfred Einstein would be amazed.

Ummmm.... I seem to recall a physics lecturer pointing out that Maxwell's equations were symmetrical and asymptotic to c (lightspeed) from both directions. So basically they don't say that you can't go faster than light, only that if you happen to be exceeding lightspeed, you can't slow down below it.

So I guess what this means is that if you have a REALLY grunty bike, the brakes are of no use, no matter how good they are and that none of it does anything useful for the size of your dick.

It's either Albert Einstein or Alfred E Neuman - you will have to make a call here.

No shirt Shylock!

Although, I'm convinced Mad's fold-in page is actually a wormhole metaphor..... maybe they are the same person...?

You are of course well aware that, that is a mathematical abstraction and that in the physical world that solution is invalid. There are many other situations where the mathematics behind the physics allow for two (or more) solutions, where all but one solution has to be disregarded since they are not physically valid.

Besides, the Maxwell equations only consider electric and magnetic fields. When rewrite and combine the four equations you can get a set of 2nd order differential equations describing this propagation of these fields. These equations describe a harmonic waveform (i.e. sine/cosine functions) propagating at a speed c/n, where c is the speed of light and n is the refractive index of the material through which the fields travel (n=1 for vacuum). I could go on - but it's explained so very well in the annotations for "Irregular Webcomic - number 1420" that I'll just STFU now (read it, it's seriously good)

I agree that this is pretty likely. Can you be sure however? Have you ever been there?
I am pretty confident that no matter how much work you have done on it, that your bike is not that grunty.

So what are you saying here?
That Alfred went back in time by passing through a wormhole in the back page of a Mad magazine and emerged as Albert?

Dont listen to him you get a bigger bike! But you might need a bigger set of balls to enable you to throw that big bike around!

a = x
[true for some a's and x's]

a+a = a+x
[add a to both sides]

2a = a+x
[a+a = 2a]

2a-2x = a+x-2x
[subtract 2x from both sides]

2(a-x) = a+x-2x
[2a-2x = 2(a-x)]

2(a-x) = a-x
[x-2x = -x]

2 = 1
[divide both sides by a-x]

[Bass]

An oldie but a goodie.
The flaw is of course that if A = X then dividing by A-X is dividing by zero which is still undefined

original topic sounded interesting....
