No, Ibram, you're not dumb. But you may note that the thread, which was itself already 100+ posts long, is titled "vote and then move on already," because the debate had already gone on for quite some time somewhere else, back in January. It was one of those things that no one ever changed their minds about.
But the world would be a better place if people did attempt to come to a common understanding. If that's what's actually happening here, then far be it from me to step on it. |

I'm still a little confused though. The issue for me is, I think me and V and jim have prettymuch explained that we define "go around" as "move in a path that completely contains the subject, regardless of how the subject moves inside the shape described by that path". in other words, "you go around something if the thing stays inside the shape you walked"... but i don't understand what the people who say "no" define "going around" as. I think glatt puts it best: Quote:

The scenario illustrated, but substitute 'hunter' for 'dogs'. Or don't... cuz dogs are hunting animals...

Meh. I tried shooting a thieving, motley (no hair at all on its tail, eww) squirrel the other day as it climbed up a tree next to the chicken coop. It had been raiding the chicken feed bin for a few weeks, and that particular day it actually came into the coop four times while I was in there cleaning up. WTF?
I shooed the fucker out once again, then went for my gun. By the time I got back, the squirrel had gone up the tree. Trying to shoot a squirrel while it is in a tree is a completely worthless exercise, as I quickly learned. So I went back into the coop with my gun, because I knew that bastardly fucker would eventually climb down the tree and come back for more feed. Held the muzzle about 12 inches from the chicken entry/exit door and waited (note: Mossberg 12-gauge). Took all of two minutes for him to show his face again, which, when I was done, wasn't much of a face at all anymore. Moral of the story: squirrels in trees can't be shot, whether you circle the tree (and/or the squirrel) or not. Forget the fucking tree. Choose a non-tree spot wisely and wait. Yeah. That's the ticket. |

... 12 gauge shotgun from 12 inches ... you don't mess around!
Now, watch this and tell me, does the dancer go around the chair? http://pictureisunrelated.memebase.c...ideos-twisted/ Or does the head go around the universe?

*grin* Why, thank you! This week I'm hunting mole, a much more elusive critter. (Be vewwy, vewwy quiet.)
Heh! Well, the chicken door is only slightly bigger than a chicken - any further away and I would have hit the squirrel AND the inside walls of the coop. Incidentally, when shooting a shotgun from inside a chicken coop, the sound is distinctly muffled (just in case anyone needs that information for a future hunting event). |
