Yep. I was just thinking that I haven’t seen such a thorough beat-down on these boards in quite a long time. ---

You retards should try reading the whole thread. I’ve shown 5 instances of Google boy being incorrect in the past month alone. If he likes I can come up with another 20. My suggestion is that he takes his little Google head and fucks off back to Radio Shack. ---

You had your ass handed to your from the beginning to the end, and by several different posters. Finding a couple instances where the guy was wrong has absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand. Most people here aren’t stupid enough to fall for that kind of misdirection. ---

On a lighter note, thanks to **CarnalK** , I shall now always think of this when I see Google boy’s posts: [http://www.arsenal.is/forum/uploads/147/cliff\_clavin.jpg](http://www.arsenal.is/forum/uploads/147/cliff_clavin.jpg)😛 ---

I was under the impression that this thread was started b/c you were acting like a child & following a poster around like a stalker. On top of that, I was also under the impression that the reason you were following said poster around was due to what you perceived as a dependence on Google for information that he didn’t know beforehand. Are you telling me that when you said “Did you Google that answer?”, what you really meant to type was “You’re wrong a lot.”, and that’s why this thread was started? Like I said, most people here aren’t stupid enough to fall for that kind of misdirection. Dumbass. ---

Okay, I just re-read the entire thread (including links) all in one go, so it’s nice and fresh. First of all, the links you gave have been answered by Q.E.D. already. And he’s right. Second, if Q.E.D. is indeed Hermione Granger, then you’re coming off as either Crabbe or Goyle. You’re the guy sitting in the back of the class, rolling his eyes at the “brown-nosers”, and shooting spitballs. Seriously, if you want to have your ass handed to you more convincingly, you’ll have to go to Norway next month. ---

Here’s 4 more: [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=10304041&postcount=3](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=10304041&postcount=3) [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=10265575&postcount=11](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=10265575&postcount=11) [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=10250180&postcount=13](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=10250180&postcount=13) [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=10229734&postcount=16](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=10229734&postcount=16) Now do you really want me to continue? Funnily enough, this made me think of an episode of Cheers where a bully really goes after Cliff. At the end the guys says, “That guy really brings out the worst in me.” I feel a bit the same way. Of course, Cliff gets the last laugh when he pretends to be a black belt and breaks a board and a brick (with his head, IIRC)…then is rushed off to the hospital by Diane. Sadly, they don’t make them like Cheers anymore. PS - I am actually going to Denmark next month. 😛 ---
