Massive Crane Collapse!

I like how it starts to clang the funeral gong for itself.

QI - Bertrand Russell proved 1 + 1 = 2

You still haven't proved that the square root actually exists. Because the square root of 2 is an irrational number, you can repeat this process indefinitely and never get to a decimal number that gives 2 if squared. All you have shown us is that if it exists, it lies between 1 and 2 in value.

1.45x1.45 = 2.1025
1.425....... and so on and so forth.

QI - Bertrand Russell proved 1 + 1 = 2

The point is not to prove something we all know is correct. The point is to show that it is possible to prove something we all know is correct. Because if that is possible, then proofs of much more complex and useful relations become available to us.

Call me a simpleton but 1 apple + 1 apple = 2 apples.
I don't need math and a formula that no one understands to prove to me what my brain interprets automatically. I know math is an amazing tool and can be used to compute amazing things but...

Awe crap..., never mind - on to the next video...

Should We Bring back the Siftquisition? (redux) (User Poll by dag)

Oh darn. Well, at least this implementation looks a little more thought through than the last one. Here's hoping we'll never see it in use.

One small request: Can it not be flung in our faces as much this time? Last time around I always got a blazing blue link named "Call Siftquisition" flung in my face every time I visited Sift Talk. The siftquisition is such a drastic measure that it should not be listed as a regular Sift Talk tool. That only makes it a little too tempting to abuse the feature.
