Answers and Points Timeline, Game 12 Tuesday September 16

#1 Post by Here's Fanny! » Tue Sep 16, 2008 6:58 am

Hey, I wonder if anything interesting has ever happened on September 16? Come to find out the answer is no, but you all know I've never let that stop me before. Ha!

Today is another Reverse Timeline, so all you have to do is match up the year with the event. C'est facile, non?

Ten points each with bonus makes a possible 110 points for today. Remember, please c/p from the Event Well and add behind the date.

Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.
