I rock more than a three legged table!

It's only gone and passed.

Woo-hoo!

 

Is it safe

P.

 

I don't know, and frankly, I don't care.

Good oh.

Err... A three legged table doesn't rock.

 

Indeed not. It wobbles mightily, once, and then hits the deck hard.
The analogy is more suited to a V-Max.

 

That would depend on the placement of the legs, surely?

True. Very true.

I refer the honourable gent to the reply by TOG.

 

Blimey. Well done.

 

Bugger, I was going to say that. Why don't you just come out and call
him a TC?

 

No. A three-legged table would pretty much either be stable or fall
over. It wouldn't rock.

 

well, assuming they're all pointing in roughly the same direction, no.

 

Because the phrase was used as a metaphor not a specification.

Actually , unsurprisingly for UKRM, a pedantic or semantics thread.

Did anyone really not read Dodger's original post as meaning a table
orginally meant to have four legs, but now only supported by three?

No wonder Mensa is called Mensa.

I know, it is a joke on IT customers not realizing they need to be precise
and realistic when they express their requirements.

However, yesterday Lozzo wrote "semetic" and there was a 0% response
compared to what I got with my semitic/semite swap

 

Take a normal table, cut a leg off ... rocks easy.

 

IIRC it's Latin for table.

 

Sometimes I'm sure you must put the stupidity on. Other times I'm not
so sure.

 

Mensa is latin for "table".
