    The Cure for Human Stupidity

    http://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/

    I beg you, please help everyone over the age of three understand these. I suspect at least 99% of all of humanity's troubles exist as a direct result of a lack of understanding of them.

    A plane will take off if its on a conveyor belt. I can't believe it was a common enough question and enough stupid people couldn't figure it out by thinking about the physics...
    But I'm not sure if your post was sarcastic or not... No offense intended!

    A true Scotsman would sell you a device that was capable of making a plane fly on a conveyor belt. At least he would say that it could.
