DUmmies Take Up Science
It's a laugh a minute with the folks at Democratic Underground. Now one of its clever contributors has proven that 9/11 was inside job by setting a fire inside a cement rabbit hutch.
The moonbat "spooked911" describes his foray into empirical science step by step. First he built his rabbit hutch by arranging a circle of hardware cloth enclosed by a square of the same material on a slab of concrete. Then he put in some newspaper and a dish full of kerosene. On top he balanced another piece of concrete. He did a little clipping of the hardware cloth with wire cutters to simulate damage. Finally he tipped over the dish and lit the kerosene.
The Bush Administration may not want you to know this, but the structure failed to collapse, thus scientifically proving that the World Trade Center towers fell due not to Arabs flying jets full of innocent civilians into them, but to a sinister Rethuglican plot.
Photos of each step of the experiment were included, which no doubt would have convinced even the most stubborn skeptics. Unfortunately someone exceeded their bandwidth and the photos are gone now. Or were they deliberately suppressed by Karl Rove? Fortunately you can still see one of them below.
As V the K suggests, future DU experiments might by undertaken using a bathtub and a rubber ducky to prove that New Orleans levees were torpedoed by President Bush after Katrina.

Because there's obviously no difference between a few ounces of kerosene burning in cloth and several thousand pounds burning within a building. Even an idiot can see that a small fire like that won't produce the necessary heat and that a large, sustained fire will get very, very hot.

Fixed it for you.

Silly, jet fuel doesn't burn hot enough to melt steel.
I was Googling around the RBC (That's Reality-Based Commune™ for those of you in Rio Linda) a while back, and there is actually a professor at BYU who believes these moonbat conspiracies.
How is is possible that I, an average Joe, understand how the towers collapsed, but the hyper-intelligent loons on the Left can't grasp the simple concept? It's common sense. Heat weakens metal.
Oh, that's right, the towers collapsed on themselves. That couldn't possibly have happened without a controlled demolition.

The jet fuel also ignited the carpeting, office furniture, computers, and everything else combustible in the towers.
But, of course, Bu$hitler and the J-o-o-s needed to destroy the WTC in order to invade Iraq to get the oil. Never mind that a.) they forgot to plant the evidence to prove Iraq bombed the towers, b.) screwed up and invaded Afghanistan first (but, hey, we Americans were never good at geography), and c.) could have just dropped the sanctions, bought the oil and let Saddam keep killing people (like the libs wanted us to do.)

The heat causes the steel to twist, which is why steel construction without masonry support between the framing is not popular with insurance companies. And anyone who has ever had a thermal and applied mechanics course would know that after torsional stress exceeds 45%, a structure will collapse. The rest was a chain reaction based on impact. It's really not too difficult to understand, unless you're a moonbat idiot.

oh good god! lmao!
I'm gonna link to you for this story. This is tooooo damn funny.

Where's DJ? I'm shocked he hasn't shown up here to defend this little "science" experiment and the conspiracy theories behind it.
'Well of course you right-wingers laugh at this demonstration: you're all a bunch of anti-science fundies. You're too busy dragging your knuckles to take the time to understand the mechanics involved blah blah blah I'm smart and you're stupid and it's all Bush's fault.'
