    It was only a matter of time before circmand strayed into denialism, conspiracy mongering, and gross mistatements of scientific consensus about anthropogenic global warming.

    Reminds me of one of my 'not so bright' moments:

    I once told our Director (about 8 levels of management above me) that physics has nothing to do with reality. Yup, you guessed it - he has a Doctorate in physics.

    Apparently that's a shared view... when I was at Tech all engineering and computer science students were required to take two semesters of physics. The physics department, whose average graduating class size was (no kidding) 8-10 kids per year, apparently enjoyed giving exams that frustrated their more practically-minded out-of-major students (who composed 95% of their classes). I remember a friend in the aerospace engineering department told me he made an 8 on an exam and still passed after the curve.

    Well apparently the engineering department decided it had enough, and although no one knows for sure what happened, one day the college of arts and sciences announced that the physics major was being "withdrawn" for 1-2 years while the department "reorganized." Message sent.

    As an aerospace engineering major from Georgia Tech, I can confirm the exact same thing at Ga Tech. Here's to partial credit and curves (and making sure the curve "anchor" never withdraws from your class)!

    you are correct pit did play some bad football that day

    The Seahawks had six more first downs (20-14) and more total yards (396 to 339) than the Steelers did. Seattle won the time of possession battle by controlling the clock for more than 33 minutes. They also had one less turnover.

    Worthlessbergers passer rating of 22.6 was the lowest in Super Bowl history

    The Steelers scored more points. And isn't that how winners are decided? In baseball if one team has 9 hits all singles one per inning no runs scored, and another team has one hit a home run who wins. The air in Seattle must be to thin to actually understand the concept.

    the refs can make game changing bad calls

    I guess there is something in pit water that causes one to live in a constant state of denial
