Nigerian grad student uses magnets to ‘prove’ gay marriage is wrong

From the article:

Amalaha says his experiments show that the north and south poles of magnets are attracted to each other — but same poles repel each other. Astoundingly, this “means that man cannot attract another man because they are the same, and a woman should not attract a woman because they are the same. That is how I used physics to prove gay marriage wrong.”

It’d be even funnier if it weren’t so mindboggingly stupid. And from a graduate student, no less!

Amalaha’s next step? To get published in an international journal.

Uh… Mmmfff… Bwaahahahahahahaaaa!!! wipes tears

[Locrian]

Wow. If we’re magnets, where’s all the cars and loose change I should’ve been attracting to myself?

[Blackberry]

Whoa, I never knew that about magnets. This changes everything.

[Jragon]

But since the poles of the earth are shifting, that means trans people are cool, right?

[zoid]

Well shit, Nigerian grad school here I come!
I figure I’ll be a post-doc by November.

His work is directly disproven by my research into fuckin rainbows.

I didn’t know rainbows could fuck.

I got your North Pole hangin’ right here.

How do they work?

[hotflungwok]

I’ve ‘proven’ gay marriage is right with my ‘research’ into Tab A and Slot B and Slot C. My primary discovery is that Tab A fits into both Slot B and Slot C. So clearly gay marriage is ok.

My secondary discovery is that there are in fact many combinations of interaction between Tabs and Slots, including but not limited to: Tab A and Tab B and Slot B and Slot C, Tab A and Tab B and Tab C and Tab D and Tab E and Tab F and Slot B, Tab A and Slot B and Slot C and Slot D and Slot E, etc. More ‘research’ is clearly required, and would be greatly enhanced with a better video card.

I thought the magnet thing disproved cats and dogs couldn’t live together?

Pot of gold, indeed.

[Chronos]

I wonder what he thinks of gravity?

Oh, and there’s also the minor detail that every magnet has both a north pole and a south pole. Try to break them apart, and you get two new poles, so both pieces still have a north and a south. I guess we’re all hermaphrodites, eh?

[Ferret_Herder]

Huh. So that’s how they work…

[Greg_Charles]

I was going with a sad smile, then I noticed the part about him being a graduate student, not an 8 year-old. Now I’m not sure whether to laugh or cry.

[kayaker]

Then horseshoe magnets are supportive of bestiality?

[BubbaDog]

I had always thought that the Nigerians too stupid to get an education were the ones sending out scam emails.

It’s shocking to discover that apparently they’re all stupid.

[johnpost]

Ha-Ha!

Oh, yes, it’s well documented. (It may help to include “r34” in your research terms.)

He just proved that anal sex is best.
