The Straight Dope used as a cite.

@JohnT

Towards the end of this thread I digressed from the topic, noting all the citations to this board I kept finding.

Bringing this from that other thread…

@JohnT

There really is no reason to bump this thread, other than noting that… for some reason… it got cited for a paper delivered at the 2012 International Communications Conference:

Which Way Did He Go? Directionality of Film Character and Camera Movement and Subsequent Spectator Interpretation. Page 18.

@JohnT

I have no idea, but if so, my guess would be that one of the posters in this thread is a likely candidate for being responsible for the inclusion of the cite.

Googling further, I’m finding citations to the SDMB in a number of scholarly (for varying amounts of “scholarly”) sources, including named citations for Sam Stone, CK Dexter Haven, and Gronk in the book Performance in a Militarized Culture. Also, citations to SDMB threads can be found at the US Army (PDF, pg51), someone who cited our research into the nutritional value of rats (Page 98), our discussion of Waldorf Schools, a treatise on the racism of Kant, and more, I’m sure.

@JohnT

LOL, some school used a thread to help explain away that them fucking up diplomas is a thing that, yes, does happen.
