In line with national tell-a-joke day or whatever it’s called. Some more serious cartoons from the Good Scientist

Not in proper order yet. Somehow I managed two of 525 and 526 but no 524.

Thanks. I thought that was so bad I nearly didn’t post it ;-)

I think you need to be very careful, molly, #543 is edging dangerously close to being humorous.

#524
What about Elsie?

Moll, I generally don’t read your cartoons as I don’t find them funny or even amusing, of which your most recent efforts do not disappoint. I can only hope more people will especially read your numbers 544 and 546 and appreciate your far right-wing tendencies and blatant racists views.

> Right wing. Racist

See right hand panel of #547. It looks like I’m destined for everlasting greatness.

The whole concept of right wing vs left wing vanished worldwide more than 20 years ago, it has no meaning anymore.
What still does have meaning is intelligence vs stupidity, and altruism vs self interest, and openness vs secrecy, and action vs red tape.

No racism in Australia.

> I think you need to be very careful, molly, #543 is edging dangerously close to being humorous.

Thank you, I think.

> #524 What about Elsie?

Does head slap, doh!

Lets get a few things right moll.
1. you are a global warming denier.
2. you are a racist
3. you are a plagiarist.
4. and when you are not being a plagiarist, you are spreading misinformation.

Why anyone should regard you as anything but a total waste of time is beyond me. You are the antithesis of science.

You are very similar to the Observer

If it helps nobody really takes Moll very seriously.

Sorry, you have hit a nerve. I take extreme objection to that. I have believed in anthropogenic global warming continuously since the late 1970s. It’s only the over-hyping of it that I object to.

Let’s get a few things right PermeateFree,
1. you are a religious nutter, you are a doomsdayist, you spout ideology
2. you are the racist

3. But I like you very much (love and kisses)

You are very similar to Pauline Hanson.

Here is a challenge. Name me one scientific fact that I disagree with. You can’t, can you?

This is what Bankly says about plagiarism.

and

“stealing from one source is plagiarism, but stealing from many sources is research.”

Those are good ones. Think you are mistaking my Jesus humour with the real thing.
Doomsdayist, I suppose you could legitimately call me that, but there again I am only repeating what scientists of many years standing think. Perhaps the world is in such dire trouble because so many idiots don’t take science seriously enough.

Spout ideology, that’s a new one for me. Some regard my feelings for the direction the planet is heading as ideology. If that is what you mean then yes I do and do so because I have studied the subject my whole life and think I know a little about it. I am not political and am not forever rubbishing people and if I do, I will do it to their face.

I am racist? Now that is very good. Mind telling me how I manage to combine all I have said about the plight of Aborigines and being racist? That’s a big problem for you moll, you lack logical thought.

To take (steal) the words of others and present them as your own is Plagiarism and by doing it often and with many, it is blatant plagiarism and is condemned by original thinkers everywhere, especially the sciences. You are not standing on anyone’s shoulders, you are pulling the rug out from below them.

Thank you. My favourite Margot Fonteyn quote is:

“Take your work seriously, but never yourself.”

mollwollfumble has one extremely severe personality flaw.
Whenever someone gets close to me in any way I push them away, usually violently.
This is usually unconscious, but extremely real, and far too many people get hurt, though none other than PermeateFree within the past five years.

I’m sorry, (tears in eyes), I promise not to do it again.

mollwollfumble has no friends.
mollwollfumble has an extreme phobia of friendship. It’s a phobia without a name.

So yes, it really helps both me and everybody else if nobody takes mollwollfumble very seriously.

So what are we to do now?

If we take you seriously, we should not take you seriously.

But if we do not take you seriously, we are free to take you seriously.

FWIW, I enjoy your contributions here, even those I do not agree with, or those I find quite incomprehensible.

Thanks Rev D, I enjoy all your contributions.

“So what are we to do now? If we take you seriously, we should not take you seriously.”

A new paradox, I like it. This one’s easily resolvable with logic.
A) If you take me seriously THEN don’t take me seriously.
B) If you don’t take me seriously, then continue not to take me seriously.

I claim to live on the borderline between genius and stupidity (a ridiculous claim, but has a modicum of truth in it). I am unable of my own volition to know which is which. I rely of the forum to point out my blatant stupidities.

But back to apologising.

I am not, right now, in a healthy mental state. I got no sleep at all last night, and none during the day today, despite trying twice. Coughing is keeping me awake, will see the doctor tomorrow. Add to that that the night before last I had my worst ever fight with my wife, over the topic of opening windows, by general marital standards it was extremely mild but it was the worst we’ve ever had.

Just remember, I love youse guys and gals, every one of you.

Which reminds me, were you serious about kerosene and sugar cube?

Let us stick to reality, rather than sliding off into the mire of poor old moll and nobody loves me. There is nothing difficult in behaving normally when involving yourself in the work of others. Clearly indicate you have borrowed some passages from a source other than yourself, by changing the font to italics or place between inverted comas and provide a reference from where it was taken. You will then be standing on the shoulders of others and not stealing their work.

When you read scientific text. don’t just read the headlines before making comment. Read sufficient until you are sure you understand what is being presented and most importantly refrain from thinking you have solved the problem independently, but spend time trying to understand what the problem is.

Don’t shit over the work of others by using the text of non-scientific comment from someone who is not reporting on the facts or the problem being discussed.

Well put PermeateFree, and thank you.

I wish to issue a formal retraction of everything I said about you. It was both unjustified and totally incorrect. For starters, you have at least four times the IQ of Pauline Hanson, probably more. And you truly are scientific in your thought and word.

I really do value everything you post on the forum, and enjoy reading it. I plead “temporary insanity”, although thinking back on it that insanity may have started more than a month ago.

It was a bit of a weak paradox, but then so is the Epimenides one.

Best wishes for a good night’s sleep.

I don’t recall any discussion of kerosene and sugar cubes.

Was off topic, and I can’t remember who suggested it, as a cure for a sore throat.

Some clown suggested kerosene and sugar a while back.
