Transcript:
Frank: Today we'll talk with Professor Ernie about some lesser-known units of measurement. Let's start with the "light-year"... Ernest: A "light year" is a unit of time measuring how long somebody stays on their diet. In most cases it's counted in small fractions. Frank: No. A light-year is a unit of length equal to the distance light travels in a year, about six trillion miles! Frank: What about the "Angstrom"? Ernest: The "ANGSTrom" is a measurement of anxiety levels! Frank: Incorrect again. It's another unit of length--it's used to describe atomic-level distances. Frank: Here's one which isn't a unit of length. What does "foot-pound" measure? Ernest: That's obvious. Kickboxer punches!

Must be a recent graduate. They seem to know a lot about nothing these days which begs the question: Just what did they learn in the school they attended or did they major in idiocy.

Hmm. I would o’ thought ‘Angstrom’ was German for angry stream.

Sonny1, you probably mean that it raises the question. To accuse a writer/speaker of begging the question is to say that he/she is using circular logic. You could look it up.

Unfortunately, Ernie’s answers are on the level of most of the population.

Isn’t a “low information voter” one that simply doesn’t agree with the main stream media??

Herman Cain was the idiot candidate that bemoaned how no one read the constitution anymore, then quoted parts of it to prove its importance. Problem was, he was quoting the Declaration of Independence. Apparently he thought they were the same thing. I always thought THAT sounded low-information.

I enjoyed reading these comments. Civil, a bit biting, and informative.

If anyone’s wondering, a foot-pound is a measure of force. One foot-pound is the force it takes to move one pound one foot.
