VIDEO SOUGHT

Certain information does leap out at one:

But Professor Cross, who is defending his findings based on dozens of tests throwing women police officers into swimming pools

Dozens?

  1. Was Roger the Dodger throwing them with Neddy Smith fishing them out ?

  2. Well, I for one would only enjoy being thrown into a pool in my swimsuit to crash an Open House for inspection (like in the Chaser). Who Cares it’s set up Anna Coren!

    Newton’s law of universal gravitation.
    F = mg will help.

  3. I don’t think it’s a mistake, Tim.
    This guy thinks he’s Gil Grissom. The utter absurdity of spear-throwing female police officers into a swimming pool over and over again presumably for hours every day, all in the name of science, made me burst into laughter.

  4. Daddy Dave The police women wore sexy police bikinis, and it’s important to see how they land!

  5. I hope he took lots of photos.
    As evidence of course.
    Here’s Constable Smith landing on her bum.
    Here’s Constable Jones diving head first.
    Here’s Constable McLean doing the splits in a pink g-string bikini.

  6. Dave, Blue not pink bikini! Blue is a police colour!

  7. Trouble is, the woman police office participating in the tests was Christine Nixon.  But seriously, this talk of spear-throwing people off cliffs:  I thought that only happened in the physical universe of Road Runner cartoons.

  9. Similar test conducted in Gaza the other day, but pool was substituted for handcuffs.

    Waiting for 11 more tests before results presented to Court.

  10. Tim B,

    Here’‘s a car story I thought you’d like to see. Would you like to buy John Lennons An original design for the repainting of John Lennon’s Rolls-Royce Phantom V,
    1967? It’s up for sale!
    null

    His Tracky Dak is for sale as well.

    p.s. Tests in Gaza were in Burqas and black back packs.

    Yes Michelle P, but I predict that all such tests in Gaza will yield the same result.

    I predict that all such tests in Gaza will yield the same result.

    You mean condemnation of Israel?

    As for chucking female coppers into swimming pools, considering The Gap is about a 50-100 metre fall, I assume in the pursuit of scientific accuracy, he was also hurling them off suburban rooftops?

  13. What the man does in his own time is his business, this sounds like a recognised sport, just like this one.

    Hey! What a wonderful blast from the past… If they are going to ban smoking in pubs, the least they could do is unban dwarf-tossing.

  15. But Professor Cross, who is defending his findings based on dozens of tests throwing women police officers into swimming pools

    He also made dozens of nubile young policewomen jump up and down naked on a trampoline and oil their bare bodies and slither over him. He concluded the victim did neither before her untimely death.

    Now your being silly, there is no way he could have thrown those policewoman with all that oil on, they would have slid straight through his hands.

  19. I hope they did it from a high diving board.  You know.  So as to more closely approximate the physics of the situation.

  20. This bloke’s throwing policewomen into swimming pools and getting paid for his trouble too, no doubt. Thanks, Tim. I won’t ever have to wonder again if I’m in the right line of work.

    (Pauses to imagine 1.618 in a police bikini. Departs on a mental vacation, delicious but painfully short.)

    How do you land a job like that? What are the qualifications required? “Dear Sir, I would like to apply for the position of Constable Launcher advertised in today’s paper. I have extensive experience in Fireman Hurling and Postman Flinging - I received my Master of Uniform Propulsion in 1998…”

    I would have thought being a Police Inspector would be a pre-requisite.  (Thought I would chuck that one in)

  22. Now, that’s science!

    Posted by paco on 2007 06 14 at 08:21 AM • permalink

  23. Oh, and speaking of science, Paco.

    Mr. Wizard, Don Herbert died last Tuesday.

    I doubt that our friends from down under know who he is, but for those of us of a “certain age”, Mr. Wizard inspired us to be scientists and engineers and to conduct all sorts of life and limb threating experiments in our basements/backyards.

    R.I.P. Mr. Wizard.

    P.S. I never did grow up.

  24. #23 Joe: Yes, I saw that in the news. It is a sad loss. I still remember seeing him drive a nail with a frozen banana into a piece of wood. A great guy who, I think, really did pique children’s interest in science.

    Posted by paco on 2007 06 14 at 09:50 AM • permalink

  25. Well I think we have a replacement (though truly there can be no replacement) for Mr. Wizard.  First experiment is tossing lady coppers into the pool.  Second experiment is having them jump on trampolines.  Then comes the jello wrestling.

  26. Civilization is indeed teetering on the brink when all we have left in Mr. Wizard’s wake is Al Gore.  Maybe that explains the policewoman pool tossing.

  27. A PHYSICS professor who relied on police information to conclude that Caroline Byrne was spear-thrown from The Gap once questioned the accuracy of details about her injuries provided by the officer who found and retrieved her body almost 12 years ago.

    I don’t know if I can ever look at that store the same way again. I had always thought of it as a fairly safe place. What was she doing? Shoplifting? Making fun of the clothes?

  30. #29 - And keeping the bikini bottom on is strictly optional? That’s very advanced thinking…
