Sorry.
Yes, rants can only be observed* when your monitor’s cathode ray tube fires electrons onto the phosphorescent screen. Longer rants need a larger quantity of electrons to display the greater number of characters. Since each of the rant’s electrons weighs 9.09 X 10[sup]-28[/sup] g, longer rants have a greater mass than those that strive for brevity. Assuming your monitor is located on the surface of the Earth and is therefore experiencing the planet’s gravitational pull, these rants will have weight and a longer rant will be heavier.
It can not be said for certain whether a rant exists until it is observed. Refer to feline, Shroedinger for more information on this phenomenon
Sometimes the greatest threads arise from the lamest of rants. For example, the fairly recent rant by some guy whose car got sprayed by another driver’s windshield wiper fluid. (I don’t want to search for a link during the lunch usage peak.)
Weak rants seem to bring out the creativity of the Pit Crew. I much prefer these to the well-thought-out informed rants, which may require me to think.
