Reply #47: A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

[Bolo Boffin]

This latest theory is one of the loopiest things I've ever read here.

There's a slang term that emergency medical technicians use when they arrive on a scene and find a person far beyond medical hope. It's based on the term DOA (Dead On Arrival), which refers to someone whom they try to revive all the way to the hospital where a doctor can pronounce the person dead.

But when revival efforts would be a complete waste of energy, they term that person DRT - Dead Right There.

This can be applied to conspiracy theories, too. Some theories, like Flight 77 denial, should be termed WOA - Wacky on Analysis. You find yourself puzzled by the photographs, but once you give all the evidence a chance to be heard, you realize that Flight 77 denial is WOA.

But a small plane firing five, FIVE, laser-guided missiles into the North Tower?

That's WRT, baby.
