So, I know this is way, way OT, but it's just too good to pass up.
Long recognized super-genius and Orator to kings and Gods alike, Jose Canseco, explains gravity. <<link
Is he setting up an insanity defense for something the feds are after him for? Or is this just a cautionary tale about the dangers of roids?
Seems pretty legit to me.
Everyone knows the gravity had nothing to do with flying dinosaurs.
Dinosaurs flew in F-14s!
Dinosaurs flying F-14s builds character.
And explain their revolutionary new "theory" to Nobel Prize winning scientists...
For those who don't want to click the link, this about sums it up:
"The land was farther away from the core and had much less gravity so bigness could develop and dominate"
It's interesting that, in a single tweet, Jose Canseco suddenly comes up with his own take on one of the main assumptions of Gauss' Law For Gravity (that gravity would decrease linearly to zero as you approach the core). He fails to mention that the Earth is not of uniform density nor is it a perfect sphere, of course, but then, it didn't seem like Canseco was willing to get into much detail regarding the theoretical foundations of his assertion. That being said, given what he said, why is Canseco not plunging towards the core (assuming that he believes that attraction increases as you go deeper into the Earth) as we speak?
He's a genius!
Reminds me of this for some reason.
Yeeeeaaaaa, not the greatest orator, but a damn fine football coach. If I had to choose, I'll take the latter, and luckily for us, that is what we have.
Not sure why, but that video you posted reminded me of this little MGo gem...
If those were his own thoughts I'd be impressed. Though wrong they are very creative and thoughtful in un-schooled ancient man kind of way. Sad they aren't even his thoughts, took it from some freak named Ted Holden.
From the comments:

These comments would be creative for a 12 year old.
Yeah, I was going to say that this actually displayed pretty intelligent thinking. Of course it had to be plagiarized.
Only other famous person I know who said something about gravity is Jesse Ventura a few years ago. "If you don't believe in the theory of gravity, go jump off a building and see if you're right."
I wish Jesse didn't believe in gravity.
His credibility fell a long time ago
This was around the time his testicles shriveled up right? His credibility moved in to take their place

I learned things
"I may not be 100% right but think about it. How else could 30 foot leather birds fly?"
He sounds like a scientist
I'm confused, why the hell is Jose Canseco talking about this in the first place? He just showed up at some press conference / interview and started riffing on how weaker gravity allowed for the dinosaurs to grow so large?
How many drugs did this guy take back in the 80's and 90's?
The crazy lengths a man will go to make excuses for fly balls bouncing off his head. "If I'd played in prehistoric times, see, this would never have happened."
