And you have no choice.
Sleep is necessary. Get some.
Your post was truly "affected". Not really a post, but just some words.
You're correct - I was in a giddy state of mind, caused by a lack of sleep.
I'm now refreshed, and good to go!
It was meant to be a sarcastic post. I assumed you wouldn't take "liquified cheese" literally.
It appears to have gone right over your head. Anyway, I'll explain it in basic terms...
Czero claimed that the WTC towers were designed to withstand plane impacts (like on 9/11).., but
they did not take fires into account.
(Sidenote: to make an outlandish claim is one thing, but to not show even a shred of proof for it....well, I felt that deserved the blatant sarcasm in return.
Do you accept this claim as true, like Czero does? If so, then please show me the proof.
I know that Leslie Robertson has said the towers were designed for withstanding a 707 plane impact, but I don't recall him making claims regarding the subsequent fires. And even if he did say it, there is no proof at all. On the contrary, it's in direct contradiction to others, who have stated that fires were taken into account.
John Skillings ...
""We looked at every possible thing we could think of that could happen to the buildings, even to the extent of an airplane hitting the side," said John Skilling, head structural engineer. "However, back in those days people didn't think about terrorists very much."
Skilling, based in Seattle, is among the world's top structural engineers. He is responsible for much of Seattle's downtown skyline and for several of the world's tallest structures, including the Trade Center.
Our analysis indicated the biggest problem would be the fact that all the fuel (from the airplane) would dump into the building. There would be a horrendous fire. A lot of people would be killed, ... The building structure would still be there."

So we have two claims that differ on one specific issue - the fires. Only one of these two claims can be true. So which one makes more sense to you? Not exactly a tough choice, is it? We know a plane has fuel. We know this fuel is highly combustible, flammable, as in 'fires'. We know a fuel tank is combustible, it explodes. And we know that explosions will...you guessed it...cause FIRES.
So, when they designed these buildings to withstand a plane impact - like on 9/11, for example - what would they possibly 'take into account'? You know.
