View Full Version : Indiana Jones is an idiot. I have proof.

When Indiana Jones was trying to find the Lost Ark of the Covenant (where God keeps all his magic things), he found out he needed to have a stick of the right length atop which to put his Headpiece of the Staff of Ra in order to use it to find out where the Ark was buried. The Headpiece told Indiana Jones how long to make the stick, but he couldn't read the ancient Egyptian runes that said it. Therefore, Indiana Jones asked his Egyptian friend Sallah about his problem, and Sallah eventually took Indiana Jones to see his Egyptian friend, some old man who could translate the Headpiece. Well, that old man told Indiana Jones what the Headpiece was saying on it and the stick should be "Six kaddams height!" which Sallah says is about 72 inches (meaning that a kaddam is approximately a foot). Indiana Jones is pleased because now he knows to make the stick 6 feet tall. But wait! the old man wasn't finished! He turned the Headpiece over and read the other side which said to "take back one kaddam in honor of the Hebrew God whose Ark this is." This is a shocking twist because Indiana Jones's enemies, the Nazis, had a copy of the Headpiece, but it only had the writing from the first side owing to the fact that they had made it based on this one Nazi's burnt hand from trying to pick up the Headpiece when it was on fire. Anyway, that meant that the Nazis didn't know to take back the one foot from their staff, so their staff was the full 6 feet tall... "too long," said Indiana Jones. Indiana Jones and Sallah smirked and said in unison, "They're digging in the wrong place!" So all Indiana Jones had to do was to make his stick one foot shorter than that to find the right location to dig for the Ark. But then when he goes to the map room in Egypt carrying his stick, we can clearly see that his stick is even longer! It is at least a foot taller than Indiana Jones. Are we to believe that Indiana Jones is less than 4 feet tall? NO, he is a manly man, and short men (less than 6 feet) are never manly. Therefore, he must be stupid because he made the stick even longer than the Nazis. Now, some of you will say the stick had to have been the right length because Indiana Jones used the information obtained from the stick and the map room to find the Lost Ark. That was clearly a mistake of the filmmakers because the place where Indiana Jones ended up digging was not the actual resting place of the Lost Ark. It's actually known now that the Ark of the Covenant is somewhere in Ethiopia which is NOT IN EGYPT. :mad:

It's true. When Indiana Jones goes to the map room, he crawls around on the floor looking at all these little holes, trying to figure out which one is the right hole to use. Indiana Jones flips through his little book where he had written down which hole was the right one and then he brushes the sand out of the hole. Then he gets his stick and pushes it down into the hole and we clearly see at least six inches (half of a kaddam) of it disappear into the little hole. The stick is really long.

We can clearly see that the beam of light is shooting out of the headpiece at the map telling Indiana Jones where to dig. If Indiana Jones is holding the stick above ground level, that would mean he made the stick too short because the Headpiece doesn't know how tall Indiana Jones is so it can't account for where he would hold the stick. It has to work on the assumption that Indiana Jones is going to put the stick in one of the holes when it tells him what height to make. He should have made the stick so it would reach the ground and still be at the right height to have that beam of light where it is. Honestly you people will go to the craziest lengths to justify Indiana Jones's stupidity. :mad:

I'm guessing the head piece also gave the staffs T.M.I. ,width, etc with the Yaw being 90 degrees. Dr. Jones just solved for girth. That doesn't explain how Indiana is less than 4ft tall though.

The Headpiece fits in the palm of Marion Ravenwood's hand. Marion Ravenwood's hand is smaller than Indiana Jones's hand. If the Headpiece is contributing a significant amount of length to the stick, then we must assume that Indiana Jones's hand is extremely large, forcing him to be even taller to preserve the proportions that we see in his body. That means that the stick must be even longer in comparison! :mad:

Indiana Jones is pleased because now he knows to make the stick 6 feet tall. But wait! the old man wasn't finished!

Therefore, Indiana Jones asked his Egyptian friend Sallah about his problem, and Sallah eventually took Indiana Jones to see his Egyptian friend, some old man who could translate the Headpiece. Well, that old man told Indiana Jones what the Headpiece was saying on it and the stick should be "Six kaddams height!" which Sallah says is about 72 inches (meaning that a kaddam is approximately a foot). Indiana Jones is pleased because now he knows to make the stick 6 feet tall. But wait! the old man wasn't finished! He turned the Headpiece over and read the other side which said to "take back one kaddam in honor of the Hebrew God whose Ark this is." This is a shocking twist because Indiana Jones's enemies, the Nazis, had a copy of the Headpiece, but it only had the writing from the first side owing to the fact that they had made it based on this one Nazi's burnt hand from trying to pick up the Headpiece when it was on fire. Anyway, that meant that the Nazis didn't know to take back the one foot from their staff, so their staff was the full 6 feet tall... "too long," said Indiana Jones. Indiana Jones and Sallah smirked and said in unison, "They're digging in the wrong place!" So all Indiana Jones had to do was to make his stick one foot shorter than that to find the right location to dig for the Ark. But then when he goes to the map room in Egypt carrying his stick, we can clearly see that his stick is even longer! It is at least a foot taller than Indiana Jones. Are we to believe that Indiana Jones is less than 4 feet tall? NO, he is a manly man, and short men (less than 6 feet) are never manly. Therefore, he must be stupid because he made the stick even longer than the Nazis. Now, some of you will say the stick had to have been the right length because Indiana Jones used the information obtained from the stick and the map room to find the Lost Ark. That was clearly a mistake of the filmmakers because the place where Indiana Jones ended up digging was not the actual resting place of the Lost Ark. It's actually known now that the Ark of the Covenant is somewhere in Ethiopia which is NOT IN EGYPT. :mad:

This is fascinating stuff if you research it. So is the location of another Ark...Noah's, but you gotta do the research.
