Ron Cranstence answers the critics

Ron Cranstence

I feel the need to answer some of  Stu Cranstence’s critics. He has received a large amount of negative press lately. Some “people” seem to have issues with the way Stu conducts his scientific expeditions. Maybe he doesn’t read a lot of “books”, maybe he isn’t spending all his time in a “research laboratory”, maybe he hasn’t been “published”, maybe his “findings” have been “questioned”. Stu doesn’t waste a lot of time on his expeditions “documenting” where he finds things, he doesn’t “toe the line” with the “status quo”. What he does is find findings and he finds good findings by using his “eyes” and his “ears” and looking where others thought there was “nothing but junk”. Who else has found twelve hundred pounds worth of  Mastodon remains (yet to be verified) that are on my back porch right now, nobody, that’ s who. So I tell his critics “just you wait, someday Stu Cranstence will find something interesting  and then how will you feel?”

Stu on Yogo

Stu Cranstence explains an ancient ritual

Stu Cranstence explains an ancient ritual

In recent years yogo has become very popular.  But most people don’t know a damn thing about it.

First of all, yogo is over a hundred years old. It was invented by the ancient Egyptians.  Back then, nobody spoke English.  They only spoke Chinese.  That’s why it’s called yogo.

Questions about Yogo moves- “Why are they called jumping jacks?”
No one knows why they are called ‘jumping jacks’. Why do you think scientists are studying it in the first place?
“Why are women not allowed to be yogo instructors?”
Can you imagine if women were allowed to be yogo instructors. Nag! Nag! Nag! Day and night! Night and day!  That’s why there are no women yogo instructors.
Now you know.

Stu on Mountain Lions

How do mountain lions keep their beaks so sharp?

If you know anything about mountain lions you know that the sharpness of their beaks makes it very easy for them to peck out people’s eyes. But most people don’t know how they keep them so sharp.. The most common method used by mountain lions is clacking. We’ve all heard the clacking of beaks in areas where mountain lions nest.  When the clacking is done making their beaks so sharp, well, that’s when they come after you.  It’s really amazing how little most people know about these “monsters of the deep”.

Why Can’t Women be Scientists?

Stu Cranstence tells it like it is.

Stu Cranstence tells it like it is.

Why can’t women be scientists?

The reason that there has never been a woman scientist is a matter of practicality.  Can you imagine the constant nagging?  Day and night, night and day!  And what if there was a fire or an animal attack?  You can’t make much science when you have to keep saving all the women’s lives.  I know some women can learn things if we are willing to be patient and present our ideas in a simple form.  But this will inhibit the progress of science as it strives to free itself from the sheckles of domineering ogresses.  

Remember what I always say when studying vast scientific subjects like outer space; “The sky’s the limit!”

Now You Know: Nocturnal and Amphibious plants

Stu Cranstence lays it on the line

Stu Cranstence lays it on the line

Many people don’t  know a damn thing about many things.  I’m here to clear up the misconceptions.
How  can you tell the difference between amphibious and nocturnal plants?:
If you know what the hell you’re doing it’s really quite simple.  Amphibious or ‘ancient’ plants are so old that they were invented over a hundred years ago.  Now, thanks to technological breakthroughs, we can use an instrument known as a magnifying glass to burn holes in the leaves.  Amphibious plants, because of their remarkable age, have leaves that are easy to reach, even if I’m sitting down.
Nocturnal plants, or plants that are far away, are too hard to reach and so I don’t waste my time on them.
Now you know.

Now You Know: Stu sets the record straight

Many people don’t  know a damn thing about many things.  I’m here to clear up the misconceptions.

Shooting Stars:  Shooting stars are a myth. They don’t exist. They are an optical illusion that exists in the human eye, most commonly in the osiris and the ‘cornea’ (corner of the eye to the layman). Did you ever notice that no two people have ever seen a shooting star at the same time?
Endangered Birds: Many areas have endangered birds. The problem is that most people don’t know which birds are endangered  and which are safe birds.  By the time they figure it out their eyes have already been pecked out. Caution: Safe birds are the same in appearance as endangered birds!  In one widely documented case an entire town was taken over by endangered birds.  One family took shelter in their house but when the woman went into the attic the birds broke through a window and attacked  her. The man came up and was able to save her but her eyes were nearly pecked out. This happened so long ago that it was in black and white.
Now you know.

Stu pitches a scientist into a fire (accidentally)

In this episode you see Stu pitch a scientist into a raging campfire, accidentally of course. Mr.Cranstence does have some issues with scientists but we can assume that he didn’t mean to throw the scientist into the fire. You can clearly see that Stu is drunk when he pushes the scientist into the fire and should not be held accountable for his actions at the time. Stu was quoted as saying  “Hey, life is hard, deal with it.”

Why Stu has a thing about conferences

This video may explain why Stu Cranstence has so many issues about conferences. In the video shot earlier this year you can clearly hear the scientists, some female, actually laughing at Stu’s presentation. He attempts his “CW” seminar but something goes terribly wrong with his diagram and he bolts from the conference room with the laughter of the scientists ringing in his ears. Since then he has been very touchy on the subject of conferences, but has recently agreed to attend further conferences in the hopes of being taken seriously by the scientific community.
