What’s the saying? “if you can’t dazzle ’em with brilliance, baffle ’em with bullshit”.

I have using this to get things started in my diesel technician classes, since I first saw it in the later 1980’s!
The drawing behind him is a car manual transmission.
Remind anyone else of Scott Bakula?
I still like this one better.

Of course, the tragedy is that based on the sheer scientific power and competence shown in this film, this man became head of engineering for Chrysler and was personally responsible for the patented self-stalling engine of the 70’s.
Now that it has been explained, this latest BP plan to plug the well makes perfect sense. I expect Palin and the rest of the Tea Party to tweeet this as reference material at any moment now… after all, an oil company executive said it, hence it must be both true and good for America.
“Confabulator”–is a dead giveaway. I wonder when it was first used?
Shazaaaam! Its a real word, but nicely, still a dead giveaway but much more clever in its use of presentations of this kind.
confabulate [kənˈfæbjʊˌleɪt]
vb (intr)
1. to talk together; converse; chat
2. (Psychiatry) Psychiatry to replace the gaps left by a disorder of the memory with imaginary remembered experiences consistently believed to be true See also paramnesia
# 6 shiftingears said, “…behind him is a car manual transmission.”
Are you sure? I’ve never seen a transmission in my car manual!
This has been around in various forms for a LONG time but is still very funny!
Here’s one of the originals: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXW0bx_Ooq4
And the even older Rockwell version:

Another example of great science:
Please note that there were a number of technical errors in that original video which have since been discorencipated. And we paid far less than $750,000,000 for that invention. We only paid $6.5e9.

Note to science buffs,
Futurama is back on! 🙂
This is all wrong. Wrong I tell you. But I have no time to explain. I have places to go,like 1927 to be exact.
Has anyone told you about my new Flux Capacitor Version 4 ? It’s working great but has some antenna issues. See ya – DOC
I have laughed at this since the 1962 GE spec. sheet was released for their “Turbo-Encabulator. Actually is has been around since
December 1944. Wonderful piece of gobbledegook.
[Ed. See #24 below]
this is better than Vogon poetry!
You realise this is EXACTLY how the IPCC sold the idea of climate change.
The science is in!
