If you calculate your speed by measuring the speed of light in different directions, you'll see you're always standing still. Of course, that's ignoring all that stuff that lying liar Einstein came up with.
I-I'm just taking things without paying for th... In what twisted dictionary is that stealing?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Because books.
Are these people (and it was way more than one) in the same category of people who don't believe we landed on the moon?
I think it's less that people are crazier and more that people aren't as cowed by authority anymore. It's not the dark ages, where you believed what the church told you, etc.
So ... it's that crazy people are freer to speak up.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Jessica,
I have never SEEN that before. OMG. No, it was something else they were discussing, independent of that.
Amy, what gets me is that at some point, we have to believe things we do not directly experience or see. I believe there is a continent of Africa even though I have never been there. I believe there is oxygen, and Mars.

I think all those people should be locked in a room with Sheldon Cooper for a week.

Wow, that's just... wow.
ION, my sister's dog-sitter called me because she couldn't reach my sister: she arrived at the house to discover they'd been burgled. A year ago this wouldn't have happened, because a year ago they had a St. Bernard (if a geriatric one) loose in the house.
... I suspect she'll be campaigning for another dog now. Me, I'm glad I have a GSD, even if she's a weenie: you can tell that from the outside.

Consuela - a friend of mine, who has two Saints, was burgled while out of town. I just gotta say - brave crook. Though, he just would have been slobbered on, knowing those dogs.

Yeah! To be fair, my sister's old dog did bite a gardener once. And at least once he scared away someone trying to break into the house.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
If it had been a small enough burglar, he could have stepped on him.
This is the method I believe our lazy old cat used to kill mice, I believe.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I clicked on Jessica's link, and then followed it to Youtube to see what this guy's other videos looked like, and the #1 video on the right hand panel was Colin Ferguson breaks wall at a convention. Now, I did just write an email to him, but I can't imagine what cookies I might have lying around to skew that.
Still, random is as random does, and investigation does show it wasn't the fourth wall in question.
