And here you were trying to portray yourself as being objective... all materials fail. I read the words. They don't say what you think they say.

As an example, I might say that I think that you are smart as the other posters on this thread. I might say it this way I guess... In your 7 years of posting on this board I have never seen or heard you post anything halfway intelligent. I'm sure someone could do a google search to find one (as I'm sure someone will try), but I've never seen it. That should be deemed a compliment.

You continue to miss the point. The joke isn't how the crash happened, what material was used, whether there was a previous crash. This video was your supposed evidence. You're working overtime now to dismiss it or disregard it. Just own it. You made a fool of yourself. The details of the crash are much less funny then the details of you posting that video & then running away from it. I wouldn't say I was excited, but you definitely proved my point that you parse through evidence looking for support for your opinion & ignoring contradictory evidence. Use your amazing comprehension skills & I know you can figure that out.
