FlyingRhenquest 1 #5 August 18, 2015 Clearly the drive works by creating a quantum virtual burrito. As long as there's a burrito in the microwave, there's guaranteed to be thrust! This hypothesis may seem ridiculous, but no less so than any other hypothesis that has been put forth. Really, I could have said "Pony Magic" or "Fairies" and probably been about equally as accurate.I'm trying to teach myself how to set things on fire with my mind. Hey... is it hot in here?

We'd get their much quicker if scientist's weren't so hung up on wasting so much energy on disproving every theory that isn't their own. I love theories that aren't my own. It makes my life so much easier. To describe meetings where I've had to defend theories of my own as combative would be gracious. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
