Pallets in fields

I noticed that, even with the small sample size {400 posts} of the ones I had read. I detected a few folks who were using this for their own amusement.

Who would do such a thing?

Unfortunately, your mother was not acquainted with the scientific literature. Said activity causes hair to grow on the palms of your hands.

You must be left handed to have taken that picture. Your left hand must really be hairy.

My Goodness over 1100 posts and STILL no closer to finding out the secret to Pallet farming....

If members could forget about girls for the time being we might have it solved.

Money and *** have wormed their way into the investigation. The solution is now eons away.

Ahh... I do remember you setting the record straight with regard to Pipette's title and I did expect a correction if necessary... I plead laziness in not going back and checking. My apologies.

Now speaking of equitable shares... how will we figure that out? I am concerned that this in itself could hamper our pursuit. Consider these...

1. Every poster is granted same number of shares - this does not properly credit those who actually genuinely contributed to the truth and could lead to many jumping on the bandwagon.

2. Every post is granted a share - this could lead to an increasing number of squirrely posts to skew the credit. We have continually been battling desires to wander from the mission here.

3. A Board that decides - we don't have a board and would need to put in place by-laws. This could of course, significantly dither our crackerjack progress to date.

I am willing to sell my shares to the highest bidder.......the auction ends at midnight, good luck.

Did I mention that I espied a murmuration of starlings yesterday?

I spotted a brace of crows today... I put it down as an attempted murder.

As is well known, except apparently in the Antipodes, the proper repository for scientific specimens is a #2 mayonnaise jar.

Steve

My good man, as anyone in the international science scene knows, the #2 mayonnaise jar is an ASE measurement and was phased out in 1971.

Metric measurements and containers have been the standard ever since & the "Science Grade" glass 'coffee jar' is the norm for holding specimens for extended periods of time. I used the large 250g "Science Grade" glass 'coffee jar' as is required by international conventions. All #2 mayonnaise jars were to be returned/destroyed by the 18th of October 1980 according to the Swiss Scientific Accords (1969), of which the United States was a signatory.

Sir, is this some sort of experiment quality control test or are you questioning my scienceness?

1. Are you asking the scientific community to accept your " scientific results" without providing video evidence that the so-called "scientific results" were obtained by a blind test? An expression often used by the laymen on TBN is "Without pictures, it didn't happen." We scientist say "Without video, it didn't happen."
2. Although your "photographic evidence" is suspect, many of the nails resemble the letters of the ancient Sumerian alphabet. In their configuration in the photo, they spell out a vulgar phrase.
3. There is no #3.
4. Again, although your "photographic evidence" is suspect, two out of the ten nails are L-shaped. The relative frequency is then 2/10 (US) or 20% (metric). The null hypothesis is that p1 - p2 = 0, where p1 is the proportion from the first population and p2 the proportion from the second. The alternative is that the two proportions differ. The null hypothesis cannot be rejected using a 5% significance level. Z Test Calculator for 2 Poulation Proportions. What does this mean?
5. Please store the specimens in a #2 mayonnaise jar.
6. I see no photographic evidence of the scientific device that you used to assure blindness during the experiment.

Steve

At least I and a few others on this endevour have been attempting to conduct experiments; as opposed to those who are simply postulating. <harrumph!>

As to the 'L' shape nails; I put it to the scientific community that each of the other miss-shaped nails were 'potential L's' until their mid-directional shift was corrected [tapped back reasonably upright] by the original "pounder". This would account for the plethora of shapes and, henceforth, the term 'L' shaped should refer to all miss-shaped nails as its generic nomenclature.

It was said .."money and ***" have entered the picture .. Someone mentioned the president someone stated "whatever your on"

We have politics, drugs, *** and money .. We are defiantly on the path to success.

Dear Wagtail,
You must be referring to that push to go metric that we had during the Ford or Carter administration. It's true, the USA planned to go metric, the speedometers were showing both miles and kilometers, some road signs reflected metric measure, and Sears sold a set of Craftsman sockets to fill in the gaps where standard socketes wouldn't fit the metric nuts and bolts. Most noticable, when US citizens went to the liquor store they couldn't get a pint or quart any more, we had to buy the next closest metric equivalent . Then, the powers that be, quit pushing metrics and now we have a fine mess. I don't know what happened to that Swiss accord, maybe the dog spread on a little mayonnaise and ate it.
