Steel toe vs .45, how to check. ( not for squeamish)

[Bon Sauvage]

Easy fellows. After all he did aim between his toes.

 

[The Heretic]

I think it was Einstein that said "Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity, though I'm not so sure about the universe"

I don't think he said that as Einstein eventually realized that the universe is expanding (explaining the redshift discovered by Hubble) and therefore not infinite - i.e, an expanding universe has an outer "edge" to it, or a limit, and therefore is not infinite. That said, beyond the limits of the universe is probably nothing - which is a hard concept for humans to grasp.

If I wanted the answer that question I would have taken the boot off.

I know the answer to the question without even trying, but if I had to try, I too would not have my foot in the boot.

 

[Captain O]

Never go toe-to-toe with stupid.

The toes lose!

 

[Gaucho Gringo]

That had to hurt, I can't imagine how much. On the bright side we have another candidate for the Darwin Award. Although I don't think he will win as he is still alive, maybe an honorable mention though.

He might not have said it. And I have not looked in to it but I remember hearing that they (whoever that is) now believe there are multiple other universes outside of ours. If that's true then our universe might not be so much expanding as moving.

This gives the phrase "village idiot" an entirely new meaning.

Our universe is expanding and when we talk about "the universe" that is generally what we mean, not "the 'verse" (as in Firefly) or the multiverse.

I have a problem with the idea of multiple universes - often explained as a new universe every time someone makes a choice, which means that the universes are built around what goes on in our brains? No, we don't control multiple universes that way - it would have to be based on quantum chance, which means there would be a new bifurcated universe every nanosecond or so, which doesn't seem right either. That theory seems more like one of those mental exercises than something that a scientist could explore and experiment on, much less prove.

There may be other universes sure, but not multiple copies of this one with a new one created every fraction of a second.

I think they meant kind of how there are multiple solar systems or galaxies. Not the multiverse.

To expand on this idiot's idiotic idiocy...
....Even if he was correct in his ridiculous theory, just where did he expect that round to go after it ricocheted off of his steel toe?

I'm not sure I fathom all the latest concepts of an expanding universe, but I'm real certain that there exists an ever expanding pool of human stupidity.

 

[Captain O]

He was licking the lead paint again!

Multiverse - Wikipedia

The universe (or our universe) supposedly has limits. Now if there was something physically outside of those limits what would that be? If it's not another universe would that mean there's some type of weird gap in the universe? What I'm talking about is definitely not an alternate timeline or parallel dimensions.

Due to the overpopulation of this planet, some people have no choice but to live near high voltage power lines.

His new toe arrangement looks like it would make a good bottle opener.

That thar's downrat funneh!

 

[DirectDrive]

Maybe he should shoot the other foot in the same spot, only with a 9mm.
Then when the perennial 9 vs. 45 threads come up, he can show the "9 toe" and then "45 toe" for comparison.

 

[Captain O]

His last words before he fired the piece were, "Hold my beer and watch this."

Yeah!

Pretty simple really. Something->nothing->something.

Our bubble->void->next bubble (perhaps, theoretically, our bubble again, resembling a different bubble though...).
