Daily conversation: What is the worst possible answer?

[kphoger]

But I did identify two things.

That's like saying a basketball team lost because of two factors:  (1) not making enough baskets, (2) not getting enough points.

What were the two biggest contributing factors to the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in March 2024?

-  Evil dolphins enacting their James Bond style villainous plan.
-  Us for being so blind to not see the obvious truth.

What were the two biggest contributing factors to the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in March 2024?

1.  Work trucks being parked on the bridge for pothole repair contributed to additional weight, such that the bridge was less able to withstand the impact.

2.  Cool air is heavier than warm air, yet the Port recklessly disregarded this obvious fact and allowed the ship to depart well after midnight.  The additional weight of the heavy nighttime air made the bridge less able to withstand the impact.

Or, not making enough points and the opposition making too many points.

AASHTO just decommissioned your favorite US or Interstate Highway.  Plot your revenge.

I'll hire ethanman62187 and tolbs to show up at all their meetings to keep asking questions about it until they give in just to make the two of them go away.

We've secretly switched their favorite to coffee to Folgers, let's see if they notice the difference...(while they're distracted we've also swapped out their cell phones, room numbers, and pants sizes.

I will never drive on any of their latest abominable number assignments or extensions to get back at them.

[kkt]

I'll send their home addresses to a certain owl, who will put interstates through them.

Better they do it themselves before the evil dolphins make their way inland.  When the evil dolphins start knocking shit over they don't care about the collateral.  Some may call this "radical" but those more levelheaded would disagree.

They forgot to snooze and got woke.

81 is a perfect square, thus fits wrong with the decision maker.

It's a 4D hypercube, which is even worse.
