Haha, I KNEW you're gonna say that. I replied it that way because it reminds me on an argument I had with a math teacher way back when which I want to tell.

It's was a math question but the answer is in multiple choice. The (simplified) question was like: What's 10-11? (I remember the exact answer is -1) but the choices were:

a) 21
b) < 10 c) < 0 d) none of the above

I chose b) because you can't lose against c) & d) right? WRONG! According to the math teacher, c) is the right answer because "c) is closer to -1"... I was in no mood to even argue with her on the conundrum of including d) in the choices by her logic, so I just sneered and slowly moonwalked away...

Sometime in the near future, when these things are running around killing us, I will remember this code is buried somewhere deep in their AI Core. As it's standing over me, about to deliver the killing blow, I will hit the play button on my phone, (cued up the uptown funk song earlier just in case). As the death-bot starts to uncontrollably moonwalk, I will slip away to survive another day in this hell on earth, delivered to us by Bostondyne Systems.

Pretty much kept a straight face up until the Moonwalk, then I lost it.

Michael Jackson ain't got nothin' on this guy's moonwalk.

Just moonwalk back

Moonwalk! Err.. -roll!

A very, very good moonwalk in deed!

Excellent moonwalk. Great dance performance.

What? No lean? No moonwalk? Bah!

So you quote the convo to add something to one of your response lines even after I have been proven he is wearing regular shoes. You're pathetic. In the words of 4chan/b "Kindly, kill yourself."

You're obviously not familiar with things like momentum and weight shifting on your feet, no matter how I break it down to you. I guess you can't teach stupid people new things.

Um, not really. I don't know what kind of skates you have ever used, but you don't "wind up" skate wheels. What he is doing at the beginning is getting his step right before he launches backward. Like I said, it's a controlled fall. The end with him stumbling is due to his aforementioned backward momentum, slick shoes and a slick wet surface. Also, if they were wheels, you wouldn't hear the scraping of shoe tread on the ground as he did this either. By you'r logic, when I do my foot glides (and I stumble), then I'm wearing wheels. There actually is an art to doing this right, and it's supposed to look like you're on wheels when done correctly; otherwise, it's not a glide. This is just an extremely exaggerated glide.

As a person who has a lot of footwork focus when I dance, I can explain this.
From a stand he leans forward and slings one leg back very quickly. While the momentum is still carrying him backwards, he has to immediately bring the back leg forward, and the front leg back to keep himself moving. From that point he is pretty much in a constant falling state where the foot coming forward catching himself since the other foot must be thrown back to maintain momentum. Notice his back foot is barely getting underneath in time while the other foot has already started to be flung out. His timing is just cray good. This is also why you see him stumble at the end. His foot-speed countered momentum stopped so he ended up falling forward from his counter balance.
Hope this helps the blown brains.

Definitely wheels...You can even see him winding them up at the start before suddenly taking off. And watch again, because his "stumble" at the end is not just his momentum, you can clearly see him skating. I'm surprised people cannot see it.


"There are none so blind as those who will not see." What you claim he is doing with just shoes is, literally, impossible. As i stated, my kids have these wheeled shoes. Never mind though, I give up trying to make you open your eyes. Oh, and btw, I have a few card tricks you will believe are magic too.
Clearly you can, because you have taught yourself that physics can be denied. I'm done.

So he can moonwalk, and if there's an obstacle, he can backflip over it...

This man is unstoppable.

No apology needed! I had just posted that xkcd cartoon on my facebook page the other day, so I am well aware of the intensity of the need to fix the internet!

This whole thing cracks me up, actually.

Clearly, it doesn't take much to amuse me.

And that's "ma'am" to you, buster.

(Ha!)

I apologize if I had a terse tone. I was more just pointing out the information in the second provided video supports and confirms my claim. Was not my intention to sound like an ass or bring you in on it in any way sir. I think I was, however, in full XKCD mode; which is why I missed the humor in the line. My apologies.

@<a rel="nofollow" href="http://videosift.com/member/Bloodscourge" title="member since March 20th, 2012" class="profilelink">Bloodscourge -- I was making a joke. Clearly those aren't wheelie shoes. I don't know if the shoes are the same as the super moonwalking shoes. They look the same to me.

A joke isn't funny if you have to explain it. My bad.

And I posted that vid, not @<a rel="nofollow" href="http://videosift.com/member/A10anis" title="member since May 27th, 2009" class="profilelink">A10anis
