Oh this is rare, two Friday Funnies. This one is still rooted in the same humor sources as the new cartoon by Josh posted here.
Now you see it…94,910 people on board (last night ~11:30PM PST)
Now you don’t…73,010 people on board (today ~9AM PST)
And those two guys look so happy about “Liftshare week”, but I digress.
It seems that there was a quality control problem, which is what I’ve always said is the biggest issue in climate science. [UPDATE: They definitely had to purge some 20K+ in people numbers. This is confirmed independently here by Richard North of the EU Referendum blog in the UK, who noticed well before I did.]
When I can be signed up, along with Lord Monckton and James Delingpole (see the top image) along with Osama Bin Laden, Elvis Presley, the late Michael Crichton, and Nessie the Loch Ness Monster, you know you’ve got a QC problem.

We are soooo blessed. These poeple have provided us with 2 , yes 2 friday funnies. Wonderful. he he he
With all this angst being generated by the Warmists 10/10 campaigne, I think us sceptics should start an 11/11/11 event to promote the love of Real Science.
Perhaps 11 November could be a day for sensible discourse about the problems inherent in predicting weather/climate in pubs around the world, with an 11 minute ‘Hug A Warmistathon’ starting at 11.00 🙂
Seeing Al Gore being hugged by Anthony Watts would make my day… 🙂
Is the 10/10 presented as European or American date format? Ie. Is it October 10 or 10 October?
As at 20:17 BST Elvis Presley is still a member of 10:10.
Best they leave the blue suede shoes alone, he doesn’t like anyone messing with them.

or else…

Don’t know where you’re from so am making no assumptions and not trying to be snarky and I know you were being humorous, but where I’m from (Britain) the 11th of the 11th has a meaning that takes priority. Can we get another date though? A day of Real Science would be quite something.

Professor Tol could not be described as a sceptic, but I’m absolutely sure he was being ironic.
He’s just about the only academic here in Ireland with the courage to speak out against the insane climate abatement nonsense and we’re very lucky to have stolen him from the Netherlands.
I think, at least I hope, Richard Tol was being sarcastic in his comment. I have high hopes we will convert him over to the dark side soon! Next winter should do the trick.
I expected “4 CUT – get help cutting carbon” to be “4 CUT – Get help cutting people”.

^I meant facetious not ironic :\
I admit I am a contrarian. If someone tells me no, I have to ask why? It is apparent that the AGW clique will tolerate no questions, just blind obedience.
Even if I believed their data, I would not be a warmist. Blind obedience is the singular cause of most of the holocausts of the 20th (and now 21st) centuries.
I have posted a link below, I know absolutely nothing about the person/organisation on whose web-site it appears but a reading of the article left me with a distinct chill.
[snip – it is on par with the 9/11 truthers and the chemtrail people, I don’t want any discussion of it here – Anthony]
The link to which I referred to above was given in a comment on Delingpole’s blog.
Sorry to spoil the party, but we in the UK (and folks elsewhere) already have one of those, and it is nothing funny.
This is Remembrance Day. It is a commemoration of those who have died in times of war.
The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.
Traditionally marked by a 2 minutes silence at 11:00am and by the wearing of poppies.
The time and date derive from the ending of the First World War.
Mike Edwards,
I remember the commemeration when I was in Upper Heyford (near Coventry) for a year. God Bless the British and their soldiers and sailors.
Ah-HA! Thank you, Mike Edwards at 1:14pm, for clearing up a niggling question I had about a David Tennant episode of Doctor Who.
On the lighter side, I’m all for John Graham-Cumming’s idea of making 10/10/10 the ultimate answer day, since 101010 binary is 42 in decimal. And as any fan of the late Douglas Adams and his Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy would know, 42 is the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything. 🙂
Anthony,
Reference my post at October 8, 2010 at 12:47 pm; as I said, I picked up on the link at Delingpole’s site. I had no idea about who’d posted it nor of the persons involved.
I apologise, I should have checked further.
I have but a vague idea of what constitutes ‘truthers’ and ‘chemtrailists’ but it is enough for me to want to have nothing to do with them.
Apologies once again; I must learn more of what goes on in the US and more about those involved.
Dang, the count doesn’t show up on a couple Firefox browsers, not sure why. I see it in the source code for the frame. At least I know why I couldn’t find it.
I could automate a daily fetch like I did for the Science Museum poll, but I’m not sure if there’s any point in it now. Is anyone going to pay them any attention at all after Oct 10?
I’ve been debating with a RC and CP regualar the AGW thoery on my hometown blog usually it always ends him making this challange.
Anyone want to take a wack at it?
“You are cordially invited to refute the AGW theory, and refute the other theories that show GHG’s connected to Earth’s climate in the geological past.
And also provide a alternative theory (alien spacecraft?) that explains the data/observations that match the AGW theory.”

Take at look at Hyperthermania @ur momisugly October 8, 2010 at 7:53 am in the other Friday Funny thread. 🙂
“You are cordially invited to refute the AGW theory, and refute the other theories that show GHG’s connected to Earth’s climate in the geological past.

Well to a challenge another one :
“You are cordially invited to make a single verifable and quantitative prediction of the so called AGW theory. Preferably in the timeframe of our lives. You are also cordially invited to make up your mind if the AGW theory predicts more huricanes or less hurricanes . Actually the prediction of the number of hurricanes may be a good test. As long as no precise, verifiable prediction is made, this is no science, it is just tongue flapping.”
QC?
Nope, it’s pure arrogance on 10:10’s part – implying that some sceptics are not as sceptical as they make out – or just another skirmish in the escalating battle for the mob’s minds by the 10:10 elites.
And it’s the younger generation who are being targetted – the generation who would only find the facts of World War II by going to a library (if they were taught how to read) or asking their uncool elders.
What’s that immortal phrase in Orwell’s 1984? He who controls the present controls the past, and hence the future?
How about signing in as “HAL 9000” after all the computer models need to be represented too.
Well, as I just can’t really bring myself to look at the sponsors page & I recieved no reply to my last email to O2, I sent this…
Mr. Massey.
Have you noticed how the numbers joined to 10:10 are declining?
I don’t know if it could have anything to do with with the fact that there were ‘some’ joke entries, such as Anthony Watts, (wattsupwiththat), Lord Christopher Monckton, (suppose you MAY have heard of him), James Delingpole, (sceptic journalist on the Telegraph), Nessie of Loch Ness needs no introduction and I doubt Elvis Presley does either!
Is it getting through yet?
They’re a joke & you’re rapidly becoming a part of the joke.
Actually you became part of the joke the second you signed up!
As I haven’t heard from you, I have to assume you don’t care about the state of your business Worldwide. I know a lot of people knock Fox & Glenn Beck but he’s got hold of this & has been running with it the last 2 days.
Wonder if he’s heard about the telefonica connection on his tips email. becktips@fox.com
All the best in your new job.
David A. Evans.
I CC’d to eureferendum & notoo2.
