It wouldn't be hard to design a test to determine if I am the fucking moron or if you are. You can buy thermometers that are accurate to within a thousandth of a degree.

In laboratory with a controlled temperature set up a heat lamp to shine on a surface of a specified area to simulate the sun. Now set up a fan which blows at a constant speed across that surface. Measure the temperature of the air above that surface. Now place a pin wheel on that surface to slow the air blown over the surface. Take the temperature above the surface again. If there is a measurable difference, you are the moron. If there isn't, I am the moron.

I'm speechless.

Are you actually serious or are you yanking my chain?

Through victory, my chains are broken."
