Yes, it is.

We're all gonna die.

I give us another 2 billion years until we start dropping like flies.

Get your shit together affairs in order, now!

The above prediction does not take into account Hulas boring us all to death, global thermonuclear war, Yellowstone pumping the Northern Hemisphere into the sky, or a cataclysmic comet strike.

And don't forget my insane clown doomsday device that converts stupidity directly into nuclear chain reaction type energy at 105% (+-15%) efficiency!

I just did a test run the other day in a undisclosed location in China. It produced a ~2K ton yield just from a weeks worth of stupid questions and answers found on CR4.

I'm surprised the yield wasn't in the mega-ton range considering the recent posts by some members.

Despite how it may look the power of stupidity is not limitless. Fortunately.

As Benjamin Franklin said, "Fart Proudly"; then the universe won't run out of gas.

I told you. There's no going back recycling.--A violation of the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics. Lyn is making point, but I got to rate him off topic
