heeh sorry, but I'm really not upset at all. Its funny how you guys like to climb all over an interesting thread from some regular joe and try to push your views. Especially the pot smoking accusations. Not cool at all bra. But I'm not upset, no need to be.
It was freak thing that happened in a nano second and I wanted to share it.

First of all, you are making assumptions about me doing illegal activities and that sir, makes you very wrong. If you say it again I will report you. Do I make myself clear?
Second, you are purposely ignoring the point of how it happened. If you want to debate physics, then we can. If you want to turn this into your thread, then we can.

Nope. I am commenting on the picture YOU posted. You can report if you want, but YOU put it out there for everyone to see, not the other way around. Dont try and hide from it. In fact, I have not ACCUSED anything. Nice try though.
Second, again, all I am asking is for you to explain what law of physics is being defied by this. YOU made the claim, YOU wont back down from it. So, please, share.edit on 23-4-2011 by captaintyinknots because: (no reason given)

weight distribution is unbalanced. 45 degree tilt with a full pack of smokes will make it topple over. Speed at which it was placed was to fast for the corners to sustain the weight fluctuation. No buckling in the box to act in distributing the weight. Chances duplicating these variables to recreate the exact conditions are unknown.

So we have a picture and a story.
If I post a picture of a pack of ciggs sitting normally on my table, and tell a story about how it flew across the room before landing in the spot in which it was photographed, that would be the same thing as this thread. A picture that does absolutely nothing to prove the story.
Being able to balance a pack like your picture is very possible. So nothing special there.
If the pack REALLY did just land that way when you dropped it, that would definitely be a little odd, but not impossible at all.
I too find the claims of gravity and physics being defied extremely misleading . Even if the story you told is true, your claims would still be false, because the laws of gravity and physics have in no way been broken. Why not just admit that you are wrong, and that while one of those "I couldn't have done that if I tried" moments happened (even though actually it can be done by someone trying) nothing paranormal happened? Are you still maintaining somehow you and your pack of ciggs have broken the laws of gravity and physics?

Most people are smart enough to know after reading my OP what I meant. And yes, looking at the picture it DOES defy what we know about the laws of physics, where am I being false? Where is your rebuttal that no laws are being broken other than "admit your wrong". I put some thought into what I said and you're still going on about now "we" have to believe you. Just get over yourself already.
If you really want to debate the laws of physics, there are lots of mathematical forums to go to. Why waste your time with my "fluke" in the paranormal forum?

Again, what laws are being defied? NONE. It is an object balanced on a flattened edge....if anything it CONFIRMS what we know about physics.
You have shown nothing that backs up your claims, and have been hit with many counter arguments that you refuse to acknowledge. Just admit it, you are wrong, and maybe your thread will get some life for the cool pics of a fluke incident that you have, instead of being torn apart for its lies.
