With TheDoc out I guess the finalist are AlphaNumeric and Euler. But Sapo did want in so...
BigDumbWeirdo
I vote Euler.
AN points out there stupidity by giving the "learning sammich" as my drill instructor used to call it. (a bit of solid info between two insults laugh.gif )
Euler on the other hand, actually PROVES it with his challenges. I've yet to see even ONE answered correctly by any of the cranks.

I voted AlphaNumeric, but for the previous year I'd say that Euler was a clear favourite laugh.gif

The tension is killing me laugh.gif . Personally, I think I should automatically win wink.gif .

I voted Euler.

And also here is Alphanumeric's quote (to support AN):

what a dilemma !!!

hmmm ...

wait aint AlphaNumeric and Euler the the same person .... Sapo you should talk to Kaneda this poll is rigged ...

But your not even on the choice boards.

How are YOU ganna' win!?

Very tough call. I had to stick with AN for numbers alone. I also know he and Euler respect each other a great deal so there should be no hard feelings.
Sapo, You deserve honorable mention for your grit alone in getting rid of some flakes, but you've got to tip your hat to the knowledge of your competitors.
Peace,
Ron

I never had anything to with with kaneda, except for calling him a "nasty bit of work". smile.gif

I thought about voting for myself, but no, I'll have to go with AlphaNumeric. I just nip at the cranks after someone sets the hook most of the time... cool.gif

Lie, cheat, bribe and kill. That'll probably work.

i apologise for not being clear

i was suggesting in a joking manner, rather poorly it seems, that you could create some sockpuppets to vote for you. if Kaneda was here, Kaneda would be claiming that of AlphaNumeric and Euler.

attempted humour 2/10

sorry mate for any offence

>Do you seriously think I'm a sockpuppet?

Well I'll tell you what I think. I think we have another tie.
Come on If you haven't voted yet hurry up (if you have already voted, vote again)
How long should we let this go? I say Sat. @ midnight.
Remember the winner get a poz from everyone... Yes even from you.

kjw, none taken, sir!

I do take things too literally sometimes, and other times no one can understand my attempts at humor... tongue.gif

I had one sockpuppet, Muggins, but he was killed by the moderators quite some time ago. I don't have the heart to create another, after his untimely demise.

He has been reborn at the Joint, though. Calloo, callay! and all that. biggrin.gif

Don't forget the CRANK of the year competition in this folder too.
Euler
I graciously accept defeat. The better man won... the bugger. tongue.gif

You may not have won, but your grace and eloquence will be remembered with pride by all those who devote their time here to the debunking of pseudo-scientific theories.

Not at all. In fact, it takes someone of my incredible intellect and social experience to discern the loosiness (congrats on knowing the technical term, by the way!) in your being.
However, I'm sure this loosiness will fade once you stop being jealous of Farsight's great accomplishments. biggrin.gif

Well in light of a concession:

WE HAVE A WINNER

Now we all must give AlphaNumeric a well deserved poz.

I have to say that Euler, Palle, and Alphanumeric have dropped the ball on the who is smart and who is just there to cover it up with art.

This one thread explains it all....

You've a big mouth. Wanna put your maths skills to the test? Every time I've challenged a crank to that, they have failed. Every time. And I've been doing it for years.

No, that thread demonstrates the original thread starter's grasp of relativity and even the methodology of science is terrible.
