Default Serious... serious... arguements....

Just had to share this with everyone. My hubby recently decided to yammer on about how louisiana has the most lightening due to it having the most water or something like that. I told him bs... and he tried to say something about statistics... which again i said bs since statistics are bs anyways. Told him he is trying to over glorify this state and mentioned when we were in nebraska. He tried telling me it was dryer and yadi yadi yada.. so i was like.. you just don't like nebraska because of the "slanted rain" as you call it. So he responds with... "The COLD slanted rain and the snow that blows up instead of falls down from the sky during a blizzard!" I couldn't help but laugh and he went on to complain about how it got in his goggles when he was working over there and about the wind and such.. just made me laugh so hard i started crying lol.


Soo... anyone else have any "EXTREMELY SERIOUS" arguments they get into with their spouse? (The kind that make you laugh until you piss yourself or something similar)

LOL! My H and I have an ongoing argument (as of 35 years) about the speed of light. He says nothing can go faster than the speed of light because it would violate the laws of physics, and I say of course things can go faster than the speed of light, because earth physicists don't know everything.

Seriously. We were separately for over 30 years, and we picked this argument right back up like we'd never been apart.

Sorry, you are wrong

j/k I couldn't help myself, I'm not going to gang up on you - and as the title of an Elizabeth Moon novel, there is one thing faster than the speed of light: the speed of dark.

I believe that scientists found that subatomic particles called neutrino's travel faster than the speed of light. This was a finding by the Gran Sasso physics lab in Italy, one of the world's biggest, last September after Cern (a Swiss physics lab that has the Large Hadron Collider) sent neutrino's through the earth to the Gran Sasso lab).

Scientists all over are now trying to figure this out...it violates Einstein's theory, which your H is supporting.

No, I'd never know this except my bf is fascinated with this stuff. Neil Degrasse Tyson is his hero.

Oh, Nora, we had the fight again last September just because of that

It's ok. I know I'm right. And he is pretty sure he's right, but he likes bjs more, so he doesn't push it

I used to argue like this A LOT and now I find it easier just to let him be right. What does it matter? Seems the older I get the less I care.

towel is pronounced "towl" not "tow-wool"

herbs is pronounced "Herb" not "erb"

and the beginning of Tone Loc's Wild Thing starts "dernnana dernnana doof doof doof doof doof.." not ...whatever it is he says

It passes the time. And surprisingly never gets old.
And yes, we laugh about it.

I think this is one of those "You had to be there" type posts.

Never with my wife that I know of, but I once nearly came to blows with my father over when exactly Chevy Chase left Saturday Night Live.

Yes. We once argued for 4-5 months whether turning the A/C button WITH the heat in the car was the fastest way to defrost the windsheild or not when it gets fogged up. I was pro-A/C, he was anti-A/C. We would fight constantly as soon as we got into the car and saw the window was foggy, each of us swatting each other off the controls until usually he got very angry and stopped speaking to me. Then I would reach over and turn on the A/C button and presto - window is clear!

Then one day I found something on the internet that mentioned that the freon in A/C helps to clear the foggy windsheild faster than air alone.

He stopped bringing it up after that!

kag, the refrigerant has nothing to do with the foggy windshield, its that the A/C system reduces the temp of the ambient air in the cabin meaning it can hold less moisture (makes condensation at the evaporator which is carried away down a drip tube ), so the dryer air passing through the defroster vents is able to carry more moisture away from the inside of the windshield. Basically the A/C system just enables the air in the cabin to move the moisture from the windshield to the outside of the car.

Yes, it is correct that that experiment reported time of flight faster than light for neutrinos traversing the earth. However the result has not yet been confirmed. There were two problems found that may effect the results. The first is an issue in syncing with the time oscillator and the second was a faulty SFP. Until the controversy surrounding the experiment is cleared one can't say that superluminal particles have been found.

So the statement of Iomega's husband stands for now...

Personally Edward Witten is my hero (from physics anyway).
