This is a social experiment inspired by the talented threads. If you have clicked here (I know who you are so don't try to deny it) to see who else is a moron then you might as well post.

Well, since there are 0 responses (now 1 I suppose) I beleive it is important in the intrestet of science that I contribute to the illusion that at least one moron has posted here.
While it is obvious to all onlookers that I am not said moron, I am willing to put myself in the line of fire in an attempt to educate us all as to the conclusion of this expirement.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go buy a new 32x drink holder for my computer. I broke the last one with my new coffee cup but the techs said the 32x can hold twice as much weight as the old 16x did. The wonders of Technology.

the reason there is no repies yet is because the experiment started like 15 mins ago.
moron count +1
Tintelpe posted 05-19-99 04:24 PM ET
It's a joke man... guess you missed it.
Moron count 2

No, I got it.
Cannot participate in own experiment.
moron count back to 1

Too late - you set up the criteria...
If you have clicked here (I know who you are so don't try to deny it) to see who else is a moron then you might as well post.
You clicked here to see who had posted and thusly label them - putting you in your own set of results.
Moron Count 2.

You moron, everyone knows that the speed of light in centimeters per second squared comes after two. Let's see, I just did this in geometry today....carry the 2, um....9+9=19, there, 899950522280031129600 comes after 2. Ha. You guys are such morons. Everybody knows what comes after 2. You know, some idiot told me that 3 comes after 2. Have you ever heard such a silly thing in your life? Then after 899950522280031129600 comes the speed of light in centimeters per second. 29999175360.

Nope....after 2 is pi^e^i
and THEN 3, 4, 6, 5, 7, 8, 9 ...
Moron count + i
don Don posted 05-20-99 03:44 AM ET
Moron count 2 + i, wait� 2 + 2i

It appears that the experiment is a raging success.
PS since I am the person conducting the experiment I cannot be included in the set of results. Conducting an experiment in which the person creating the experiment participates causes unwated bias and a distortion of the true and accurate results. Therefore:
moron counts = 2 + 2i - 1 = 1 + 2i
however I wonder what the validity of imaginary numbers will be in this experiment. We are conducting this experiment in the realm of real numbers, thank you.
Therefore could someone convert 2i to real numbers.
(teehee we'll expose the morons now! )
jig posted 05-20-99 05:57 AM ET
Oh, come on. How hard could converting imaginary numbers to real numbers be? Lets see...
x = 2i
-x2 = 2
Well, there you go. From there you can deduce that the real number is equal to the square root of -2.
Hmmmmm...

jig posted 05-20-99 06:00 AM ET
-x2 = 2 should be -x^2 = 2
jig
mathematically blind
Alphaman posted 05-20-99 07:22 AM ET
And since the square root of -2 can only be expressed in terms of imaginary numbers, we are back at the origial problem, hmm?
moron count = 2 + 2i + jig +

Oh no, you won't trick me into posting here so to admit that I'm a moron... uhhh...hm, forget it.
Moron count: 8

Sorry, I'm not complete. I have some parts missing. I hope to find them some day though...

= 2(2i)
= 4i
= iiii
= four eyes
no wait that's not right
