2008-03-20 14:52 < Juliancolton> Transclusion
2008-03-20 14:52 < Juliancolton> ;)
2008-03-20 14:52 < CrazySane> heh, thanks for the lesson in terms :)
2008-03-20 14:53 < CrazySane> now that I've got that streight, what's going on?
2008-03-20 14:54 < Lady_Aleena> inclusion or transclusion ... :)
2008-03-20 14:55 < CrazySane> while we're on the subject, whats the diffrence?
2008-03-20 14:55 < Schrodinger_Cat> Juliancolton: But is the pipe filled with tobacco?
2008-03-20 14:56 < Lady_Aleena> CrazySane: Nothing.
2008-03-20 14:56 < Juliancolton> Yep, home grown
2008-03-20 14:56 < Juliancolton> Fresh from the field
2008-03-20 14:58 < Lady_Aleena> Where does one go to get a committed identity, I have yet to find anything about it other than various articles which do not lead to anything resembling a program to create one.
2008-03-20 14:59 < Juliancolton> Doug's RfA just passed
2008-03-20 15:00 < Schrodinger_Cat> How many edits to you need to RfA?
2008-03-20 15:00 < Juliancolton> There's no set limit...
2008-03-20 15:00 < Juliancolton> But it's usually around 3,000
2008-03-20 15:00 < Juliancolton> With at lest 1,500 mainspace
2008-03-20 15:00 < Juliancolton> *least
2008-03-20 15:01 * Lady_Aleena has too many non-namespace edits with only around 3,000 mainspace edits.
2008-03-20 15:02 < Juliancolton> What's the difference between namspace and mainspace?
2008-03-20 15:02 < Lady_Aleena> mainspace, namespace, article space, etc...I think that they are all the same thing.
2008-03-20 15:02 < NotASpy> namespace covers everything, mainspace (or article) is a subgroup.
2008-03-20 15:02 < Lady_Aleena> But I could be wrong.
2008-03-20 15:02 < Lady_Aleena> Thank you NAS.
2008-03-20 15:02 < Juliancolton> Ah, ok
2008-03-20 15:03 < Juliancolton> I have almost 7,000 edits, 3,500 mainspace, and almost 1,000 wikipedia edits
2008-03-20 15:03 < Juliancolton> And the rest is misc.
2008-03-20 15:04 * DeadEyeArrow struggles with his ECT
2008-03-20 15:04 < Juliancolton> What's an ECT?
2008-03-20 15:04 < DeadEyeArrow> Editcountitis
2008-03-20 15:04 < Juliancolton> Ah, ok.
2008-03-20 15:04 < DeadEyeArrow> Think I got 24k
2008-03-20 15:04 < Lady_Aleena> http://tools.wikimedia.de/~river/cgi-bin/count_edits?user=Lady+Aleena&dbname=enwiki_p
2008-03-20 15:05 < Juliancolton> I don't have editcountitis, but I just wish I had more mainspace edits
2008-03-20 15:05 < Juliancolton> 6,000 user edits?!
2008-03-20 15:06 < Lady_Aleena> A year an a half ago or so, I was dealing with user templates and I went through and changed them out on various user pages throughout wikipedia.
2008-03-20 15:07 * quanticle|away out
2008-03-20 15:08 < beepboop77> anyone ever check out citizendium? any good?
2008-03-20 15:08 < Lady_Aleena> No, what is it?
2008-03-20 15:08 < DeadEyeArrow> Heheh
2008-03-20 15:08 < beepboop77> sanger's wikipedia spinoff
2008-03-20 15:09 < Lady_Aleena> Oh
2008-03-20 15:09 < beepboop77> pro edited or something
2008-03-20 15:09 < beepboop77> maybe
2008-03-20 15:09 < beepboop77> not entirely familiar
2008-03-20 15:10 < NotASpy> it's theoretically a good idea, in practice, it doesn't work.
2008-03-20 15:10 < NotASpy> a direct opposite (just about) of Wikipedia.
2008-03-20 15:10 < beepboop77> not enough editors?
2008-03-20 15:10 < NotASpy> POV hell.
2008-03-20 15:11 < NotASpy> scientists are the worst people on the planet when it comes to writing with an inherent point of view.
2008-03-20 15:11 < beepboop77> fact checking or what, whats the difference
2008-03-20 15:12 < beepboop77> yeah I can see that i guess
2008-03-20 15:13 < NotASpy> back in the early days of the 20th century, scientists would refuse to speak to each other, all over things like the competing theories of light being a wave and light being a particle. If you were in one camp, the other camp wouldn't speak to you.
2008-03-20 15:17 < NotASpy> there's still a mass of competing theories over things as massive as black holes and things as tiny as how Iron works in things like Hemoglobin. When you're writing an article and have a definite preference for one theory over another, it shows in your writing.
2008-03-20 15:20 < Lady_Aleena> Very true.
2008-03-20 15:29 < mexicanbanana> Why do roosters make that strange sound, and why at a specific time? It's like they were created to be primitive alarm clocks for humans...
2008-03-20 15:29 < Juliancolton> That was a random question
2008-03-20 15:30 < Lady_Aleena> If the following won't stand alone, I guess I can copy-n-paste it into the 160+ articles it relates to... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Lady_Aleena/Television/Crossovers
2008-03-20 15:35 < Lady_Aleena> I am sick and tired of the bloody word cruft. What I wrote is not cruft, but no one seems to be reading that. Hell, it isn't OR since I haven't seen all of the series mentioned in it. So where are they getting it from? I really want to know.
2008-03-20 15:36 * NotASpy sends Lady_Aleena two tickets for Crufts.
2008-03-20 15:36 < Lady_Aleena> What is Crufts?
2008-03-20 15:37 < ShakespeareFan00> NotASpy: ROFL
2008-03-20 15:37 < ShakespeareFan00> Lady_Aleena: A dog show...
2008-03-20 15:37 < ShakespeareFan00> ;)
2008-03-20 15:38 < ShakespeareFan00> But I don't think NotASpy meant it that way
2008-03-20 15:38 < Lady_Aleena> That makes me feel about an inch tall right now.
2008-03-20 15:54 < Golbez> whoaaaa.
2008-03-20 15:54 < Golbez> http://aycu39.webshots.com/image/46558/2006020139953911215_rs.jpg
2008-03-20 15:55 < Golbez> the burj dubai is tall enough to cut the clouds in half. that sounds poetic.
2008-03-20 15:56 < Lycurgus> funny I thought that guy who said he was in twenty channels was overdoing it. Now I'm nearly there.
2008-03-20 16:00 < Lady_Aleena> Can I please get an opinion on a possible source for an article?
2008-03-20 16:00 < Lady_Aleena> http://tvseriesfinale.com/articles/detective-john-munch-a-record-breaking-character/
2008-03-20 16:01 < Lady_Aleena> Damn, its a blog...I didn't see that until I scrolled to the end.
2008-03-20 16:14 < Lucifer_Cat> Lycurgus: ure in just one chan
2008-03-20 16:19 < Juliancolton> Wow, even thw IRC channel is boring today
2008-03-20 16:19 < Juliancolton> *the
2008-03-20 16:20 < FoeNyx> Juliancolton> try to read something interresting .. dunno something like an online encyclopedia full of surprising and amazing knowledge .. ;)
2008-03-20 16:21 < fruitbag> Hi
2008-03-20 16:21 < Juliancolton> I should be working, but...
2008-03-20 16:21 < FoeNyx> Juliancolton> oh that .. yeah some people do that too
2008-03-20 16:21 < FoeNyx> 'lo fruitbag
2008-03-20 16:22 < Juliancolton> What exactly is "that"?
2008-03-20 16:22 < FoeNyx> you know, 'work'
2008-03-20 16:22 < Juliancolton> Oh
2008-03-20 16:22 < fruitbag> Would I be correct in thinking that the price of gold is high because the demand is high because it is rare?
2008-03-20 16:22 < Juliancolton> Yes, that is correct
2008-03-20 16:22 < fruitbag> So, due to its rarity, the demand for it is high, and so therefore the price is high?
2008-03-20 16:23 < Juliancolton> yes
2008-03-20 16:23 < bumm13> fruitbag: I don't think that's entirely the issue regarding gold prices
2008-03-20 16:23 < Lucifer_Cat> rare = less supply. also more people want it cuz less people can have it.
2008-03-20 16:23 < fruitbag> Is it in such a way so that there is price-demand equilibrium.
2008-03-20 16:23 < FoeNyx> fruitbag> the demand is raising due to new markets (emerging countries : china india etc)
2008-03-20 16:23 < bumm13> gold doesn't suddenly become more or less scarce, but gold prices fluctuate constantly
2008-03-20 16:24 < FoeNyx> fruitbag> plus, gold is a secure placement in crisis time
2008-03-20 16:24 < fruitbag> Well, why is a supply-demand desired?
2008-03-20 16:24 < fruitbag> FoeNyx: isn't there anything else as rare as Gold?
2008-03-20 16:24 < Lucifer_Cat> AS.. dunno
2008-03-20 16:24 < Lucifer_Cat> rarer: lots
2008-03-20 16:25 < bumm13> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_as_an_investment <--- might be worth a look
2008-03-20 16:25 < FoeNyx> Gold is also culturaly and historicaly a precious metal
2008-03-20 16:26 < fruitbag> What is the rarest element?
2008-03-20 16:26 < fruitbag> Gold is the rarest element?
2008-03-20 16:26 < FoeNyx> nope
2008-03-20 16:26 < fruitbag> Well, surely, that which is rarer than Gold is worth alot more.
2008-03-20 16:28 < fruitbag> Since gthere would be more of a demand, right?
2008-03-20 16:28 < FoeNyx> it depends, some very rare elements are very unstable, and thus not really fitted to market
2008-03-20 16:29 < fruitbag> FoeNyx: I gues
2008-03-20 16:30 < Golbez> palladium is much rarer than gold, and consequently worth much more money
2008-03-20 16:30 < fruitbag> Golbez: but it isn't practical as a thing to be kept
2008-03-20 16:30 < Demi> gold has a convenient balance of societal demand and rarity
2008-03-20 16:30 < bumm13> yeah
2008-03-20 16:30 < Golbez> gold is nicely stable
2008-03-20 16:30 < Golbez> as an object, i mean
2008-03-20 16:30 < Demi> it's not *too* hard to get, and it's incorruptible
2008-03-20 16:30 < Golbez> it's hard to destroy
2008-03-20 16:30 < Demi> yes, exactly
2008-03-20 16:30 < fruitbag> But I reall don't understand the societal demand of Gold.
2008-03-20 16:30 < fruitbag> Gold is of no practical value in and of itself.
2008-03-20 16:30 < bumm13> but it's gold! ;)
2008-03-20 16:31 < Demi> it actually has a lot of practical uses
2008-03-20 16:31 < FoeNyx> fruitbag> but if you think of rare metal more 'valuable' than gold, platinum might cross your mind
2008-03-20 16:31 < bumm13> yeah, wiring ;p
2008-03-20 16:31 < fruitbag> bumm13: sure, but the only reason I understand why Gold is valuable is because of its rarity.
2008-03-20 16:31 < fruitbag> ...I don't understand the cultural value of Gold.
2008-03-20 16:31 < Demi> wiring and other electrical applications
2008-03-20 16:31 < bumm13> it's "religious" value
2008-03-20 16:31 < bumm13> (just like money)
2008-03-20 16:31 < fruitbag> Maybe the cultural value is a consequence of its rarity.
2008-03-20 16:31 < Demi> what other metal can you make a coin out of that will stay a coin?
2008-03-20 16:31 < Golbez> gold has lots and lots of applications
2008-03-20 16:31 < Golbez> wiring, jewelry
2008-03-20 16:32 < Golbez> it's very malleable, and it's very stable
2008-03-20 16:32 < fruitbag> I see
2008-03-20 16:32 < Golbez> if i recall, it's biologically inert
2008-03-20 16:32 < bumm13> I still yearn for a goose that will lay me golden eggs
2008-03-20 16:32 < Golbez> which adds all sorts of other applications in medicine
2008-03-20 16:32 < fruitbag> But Jewellry in and of itself isn't a useful thing
2008-03-20 16:32 < fruitbag> I could just as well use gold-painted steel as jewellery and show it off
2008-03-20 16:32 < FoeNyx> fruitbag> it's shiny as sun, not corroded, used by merely all human civilisation accros our planet (citation needed though)
2008-03-20 16:32 < fruitbag> Although it isn't Gold, it would look like gold
2008-03-20 16:32 < bumm13> gold is magical!
2008-03-20 16:33 < bumm13> ;)
2008-03-20 16:33 < Demi> what are you asking? since gold isn't the most valuable thing, i don't understand your point.
2008-03-20 16:33 < FoeNyx> Gold is chimicaly and physically very interresting
2008-03-20 16:33 < Demi> and ornament is valuable to society, and what we're talking about is agreed-on values
2008-03-20 16:33 < FoeNyx> bumm13> that too :p
2008-03-20 16:33 < bumm13> I think it's human nature to want to exchange something
2008-03-20 16:33 < fruitbag> bumm13: I'll scratch your back while I strach yours
2008-03-20 16:33 < bumm13> to have some sort of market going on in some manner
2008-03-20 16:33 < Demi> there's no utility to a car that's not a featureless lozenge that can't go any faster than the speed limit, surely
2008-03-20 16:33 < bumm13> fruitbag: indeed
2008-03-20 16:34 < Demi> plus, gold gives ron paul something to talk about
2008-03-20 16:34 < fruitbag> bumm13: that's how human economy was like before money
2008-03-20 16:34 < fruitbag> bumm13: freeconomics
2008-03-20 16:34 < bumm13> well, I doubt it was all barter
2008-03-20 16:34 < fruitbag> Sure
2008-03-20 16:35 < fruitbag> Well, people didn't rely on much from others
2008-03-20 16:35 < fruitbag> They survived alone as families by farming and hunting
2008-03-20 16:35 < bumm13> not like in modern times, no
2008-03-20 16:35 < fruitbag> ..so, they didn't really need to 'buy' anything as such.
2008-03-20 16:35 < Demi> as early as there was writing, there seems to have been symbolic exchanges
2008-03-20 16:35 < Demi> so money of some kind has been around for a while
2008-03-20 16:35 < Demi> even if it was clay tiles baked into a pouch
2008-03-20 16:36 < Golbez> gold was also widespread (i.e. not concentrated on a single continent or what not) and very pretty, so people were exposed to it from very early in human history
2008-03-20 16:36 < bumm13> the ancient Greeks had currency
2008-03-20 16:36 < Golbez> it's also extremely easy to work with, which i'm sure made it appealing even back then
2008-03-20 16:36 < Demi> you can also just find it, more or less
2008-03-20 16:37 < fruitbag> The concvention of putting heads on coins originated from the ancient Greeks
2008-03-20 16:37 < bumm13> Athens had the ancient drachma
2008-03-20 16:37 < Golbez> in fact, according to our article, it is *the* most malleable metal
2008-03-20 16:37 < bumm13> yep
2008-03-20 16:37 < Golbez> and it's so resistant to corrosion that it has no taste at all.
2008-03-20 16:37 < Demi> it was more efficient than the huns, who just used heads
2008-03-20 16:38 < bumm13> ancient China also had coins (no faces, though)
2008-03-20 16:38 < bumm13> heh
2008-03-20 16:38 < Golbez> palladium was only discovered in 1803
2008-03-20 16:38 < FoeNyx> alumin[i]um was once a very precious metal (more than gold)
2008-03-20 16:38 < Golbez> whereas knowledge of gold is obviously ancient
2008-03-20 16:39 < Lucifer_Cat> Demi: haha
2008-03-20 16:39 < Golbez> FoeNyx- til they found out a way to squeeze it cheaply from the rocks
2008-03-20 16:39 * Golbez crunches his pepsi can
2008-03-20 16:39 < Golbez> supply and demand
2008-03-20 16:40 < bumm13> "Ah found gold!" --- Some bearded miner, 1849
2008-03-20 16:40 < Lucifer_Cat> you mean bearded filthy sweaty soot covered tired overworked miner
2008-03-20 16:40 < Demi> there's some story about french nobility trashing their silver table settings and replacing them with aluminum ones, because of the rarity and cache of the metal at the time
2008-03-20 16:40 < bumm13> yes
2008-03-20 16:40 < Leo_Johannes_> hello everybody
2008-03-20 16:40 < bumm13> heh, that's funny
2008-03-20 16:40 < bumm13> hi
2008-03-20 16:41 < Leo_Johannes_> id it morning for someone here in this channel? In sweden, where I am, clock is 22.41
2008-03-20 16:41 < Leo_Johannes_> is itÄ
2008-03-20 16:41 < Leo_Johannes_> is it*
2008-03-20 16:41 < FoeNyx> Golbez> yep, but before that, it was the blink-blink of its time :) Napoléon used its aluminium plates for the most important guest, the less important had to eat in gold plates
2008-03-20 16:41 < Golbez> yep
2008-03-20 16:41 < Lucifer_Cat> well if its any comfort, the mosquito net over my bed used to be held up by aluminium rods
2008-03-20 16:42 < Golbez> isn't the most expensive metal rhodium?
2008-03-20 16:42 < bumm13> did you melt the rods down?
2008-03-20 16:42 < Lucifer_Cat> nah, used them to impale rebels
2008-03-20 16:42 < fruitbag> How much does Copper cost per kg?
2008-03-20 16:42 < Leo_Johannes_> so... what time is it, every wikipedians?
2008-03-20 16:42 < Lucifer_Cat> fruitbag: not much

2008-03-20 16:43 < Leo_Johannes_> cool
2008-03-20 16:43 < FoeNyx> Leo_Johannes_> same as you
2008-03-20 16:43 < Golbez> copper presently trades at $3.591 per pound
2008-03-20 16:43 < Lady_Aleena> Damt, damt, damt!!!
2008-03-20 16:43 < Leo_Johannes_> FoeNyx: where are you? UK?
2008-03-20 16:43 < Lady_Aleena> I need to vent...I really need to vent.
2008-03-20 16:44 < fruitbag> I like this channel because it is really polymathic.
2008-03-20 16:44 < Golbez> on the other hand
2008-03-20 16:44 < fruitbag> That's why I can ask questions relating to pretty much every conceivable topic.
2008-03-20 16:44 < FoeNyx> Leo_Johannes_> nope, over that channel, (North of France)
2008-03-20 16:44 < Leo_Johannes_> OK
2008-03-20 16:44 < Golbez> rhodium closed at $87866 per pound.
2008-03-20 16:44 < Golbez> or around $5500/oz
2008-03-20 16:44 < Demi> i used to work for a metal distributor
2008-03-20 16:45 < Leo_Johannes_> tthanks for your answers everybody
2008-03-20 16:45 < Golbez> oh wait
2008-03-20 16:45 < Golbez> i was using an outdated website
2008-03-20 16:45 < bumm13> Lucifer_Cat: actually, copper prices are up
2008-03-20 16:45 < Leo_Johannes_> is someone has different time, please tell
2008-03-20 16:45 < Golbez> kitco says it closed at $9160/oz
2008-03-20 16:45 < bumm13> that's why meth addicts steal it for scrap
2008-03-20 16:45 < Lady_Aleena> What do I do when something is noted in gads of locations on the web, but not one source of the information can be found that isn't a bloddy blog?!
2008-03-20 16:45 < bumm13> (to sell it to scrap dealers)
2008-03-20 16:45 < Lady_Aleena> s/bloddy/bloody
2008-03-20 16:46 < Lady_Aleena> Death to blogs! They are screwing up the web big time.
2008-03-20 16:46 < Lucifer_Cat> Lady_Aleena: lol that sounded like some scottish/irish accent
2008-03-20 16:46 < Demi> Lady_Aleena - accept that it's one of those things people know because they repeat it to each other all the time
2008-03-20 16:48 < Golbez> checking updated copper prices... copper closed at $3.62
2008-03-20 16:48 < FoeNyx> Golbez> http://www.taxfreegold.co.uk/preciousmetalpricesusdollars.html Rhenium seems to be the most expensive nowadays
2008-03-20 16:48 < bumm13> hmm, apparently it's at $3.61/lb. (so about $7.94/kg) (USD)
2008-03-20 16:48 < Golbez> per pound
2008-03-20 16:48 < bumm13> (copper)
2008-03-20 16:48 < Golbez> FoeNyx- except it says the rhenium figure is in kg, but rhodium is in oz?
2008-03-20 16:49 < Lady_Aleena> I have read, even in the two Wikipedia articles, that Richard Belzer will be in the series Paris enquêtes criminelles as his character John Munch. I have searched, and searched, and searched for a reference to that fact. All I get is bloody blogs and fan sites. I can not find a single non-blog site that has this information in it. IMDb has this in Richard Belzer's biography, however not in his credits! How in the hell am I supposed to note that?
2008-03-20 16:49 < FoeNyx> oh right :\ quite confusing ? why is rhenium in kg ?
2008-03-20 16:49 < Golbez> Lady_Aleena- don't note it at all. if it cannot be confirmed it should be ignored.
2008-03-20 16:49 < Lady_Aleena> I need it badly.
2008-03-20 16:50 < bumm13> that's a good question
2008-03-20 16:50 < fruitbag> Ah, man
2008-03-20 16:50 < fruitbag> I hate the monarchy
2008-03-20 16:50 < fruitbag> What have the monarchy ever done for us?
2008-03-20 16:50 < Golbez> i love that the Japanese wikipedia has better coverage of a particular governor of Colorado ([[Ralph Lawrence Carr]]) than en does.
2008-03-20 16:50 < Lady_Aleena> I found one mention of it on the [[Reno Gazette-Journal]] website in an article titled Richard Lewis, Richard Belzer bring misery and wit to Lake Tahoe, but I am not sure that is good enough.
2008-03-20 16:51 < FoeNyx> Lady_Aleena> http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001938/bio has mention of Paris enquêtes criminelles
2008-03-20 16:51 < Golbez> Lady_Aleena said that already
2008-03-20 16:51 < Golbez> but an IMDB bio is not a reliable source
2008-03-20 16:52 < Lady_Aleena> FoeNyx: I mentioned that, but I am not sure if that is good enough.
2008-03-20 16:52 < Lady_Aleena> Golbez, would you look at this [[Reno Gazette-Journal]] article and tell me if it would be a good enough reference? http://www.gotorenotahoe.com/news/stories/html/2008/03/17/7782.php
2008-03-20 16:52 < Leo_Johannes_> see you eerybody!
2008-03-20 16:53 < bumm13> cya
2008-03-20 16:53 < Lady_Aleena> Bye Leo
2008-03-20 16:53 < FoeNyx> Lady_Aleena> i've found some french articles about it, they state his presence as "rumoured appearance of"
2008-03-20 16:53 < Lady_Aleena> I wish I knew where the contributors of the two articles got their info.
2008-03-20 16:54 < Golbez> Lady_Aleena- that's an iffy source, since the way they put it it sounds like they're quoting from the IMDB (or, worse, us)
2008-03-20 16:54 < Golbez> we need a primary source from that TV show's production
2008-03-20 16:55 < Golbez> oh wait
2008-03-20 16:55 < Golbez> Lady_Aleena
2008-03-20 16:55 < Golbez> they say they're quoting from imdb.com =p
2008-03-20 16:55 < Golbez> so that throws that right out
2008-03-20 16:55 < Lady_Aleena> Shite!
2008-03-20 16:55 < Golbez> if we can't quote IMDB directly we can't quote them second-hand.
2008-03-20 16:55 < Golbez> just wait until the show actually airs and we can get a primary sourcing on this
2008-03-20 16:56 < Lady_Aleena> This article is going to be in limbo until that damned episode airs.
2008-03-20 16:56 < Lucifer_Cat> Lady_Aleena: put "rumored that...."
2008-03-20 16:57 * SynergeticMag yawns
2008-03-20 16:57 < Lady_Aleena> This rumor is going to drive me NUTS! It is perfect for the first {{fact}} tag that SynergeticMag added to this thing.
2008-03-20 16:57 < Lucifer_Cat> damn maggots
2008-03-20 16:58 < SynergeticMag> damn oatmeal
2008-03-20 16:58 < Lucifer_Cat> squiggly wriggly
2008-03-20 16:58 < SynergeticMag> what rumor?
2008-03-20 16:58 < Lucifer_Cat> filthy maggots
2008-03-20 16:58 * Lady_Aleena prefers Cream of Wheat
2008-03-20 16:58 < Lucifer_Cat> fun to roast over the fire though
2008-03-20 16:58 < FoeNyx> Lady_Aleena> http://munchfin.proboards55.com/index.cgi?board=richardbelzer&action=display&thread=1145660855&page=3#1157544290 dunno if it can help to try to locate a 'believable' source
2008-03-20 16:59 < Lady_Aleena> That Richard Belzer as John Munch is scheduled to appear in a future episode of Paris enquêtes criminelles, thus continuing the crossovers into the future.
2008-03-20 16:59 < Lucifer_Cat> Lady_Aleena: what a healthy meal that i can cook in a jiffy without costing a bunch? and by healthy i dont mean "fat free" i just mean one that will keep me from waning away
2008-03-20 16:59 < Lucifer_Cat> wrong time to ask
2008-03-20 17:00 * cremepuff222 prefers Cream of Puff.
2008-03-20 17:00 * SynergeticMag prefers nothing with cream in it
2008-03-20 17:00 < cremepuff222> :-D
2008-03-20 17:00 < SynergeticMag> moo moo bad
2008-03-20 17:00 < Golbez> Lady_Aleena- simply remove it and wait until there's confirmation. what's wrong with that?
2008-03-20 17:00 < Lucifer_Cat> shes shooting for glory and thats all that stands in her way
2008-03-20 17:01 < SynergeticMag> oh wait, i take that back
2008-03-20 17:01 < SynergeticMag> i love ice cream
2008-03-20 17:01 < SynergeticMag> duh!
2008-03-20 17:01 < Lucifer_Cat> and im sure u'd love whipped cream on boob cherries
2008-03-20 17:01 < SynergeticMag> boob cherries?
2008-03-20 17:02 < SynergeticMag> boob as in tit?
2008-03-20 17:02 < fruitbag> Can I confess to something?
2008-03-20 17:02 < SynergeticMag> teets
2008-03-20 17:02 < Lady_Aleena> Lucifer_cat: Try Ramon noodles with veggies.
2008-03-20 17:02 < Golbez> fruitbag- yes
2008-03-20 17:02 < SynergeticMag> we love confessions here
2008-03-20 17:02 < The359> http://goteaminternet.com/img/docs/6731.jpg
2008-03-20 17:02 < SynergeticMag> just no logs
2008-03-20 17:02 < Lucifer_Cat> haha thats exactly what i was thinking
2008-03-20 17:03 < fruitbag> Well, I once drizzled some honey on my gf's boobs
2008-03-20 17:03 < SynergeticMag> lol
2008-03-20 17:03 < Lady_Aleena> Lucifer_Cat: If you could find some sort of frozen meat product to throw into it, that would make it better.
2008-03-20 17:03 < fruitbag> ...she was bunching up them up against her neck with her arms
2008-03-20 17:03 * SynergeticMag looks away
2008-03-20 17:03 < Lucifer_Cat> sliced chicken franks
2008-03-20 17:03 < Golbez> mmm boobs.
2008-03-20 17:03 < fruitbag> Oh, man
2008-03-20 17:03 < fruitbag> it felt so good
2008-03-20 17:04 < fruitbag> ...getting to drizzle honey
2008-03-20 17:04 * SynergeticMag notices how fast the perverts come out
2008-03-20 17:04 < Lucifer_Cat> u seem like other kind of a bag to me fruitbag
2008-03-20 17:04 * fruitbag isn't a pervert
2008-03-20 17:04 < The359> OMG BOOBZ, WHERE?!
2008-03-20 17:04 < fruitbag> I once put slices of cheese on her boobs
2008-03-20 17:04 < fruitbag> ...and on her butt cheeks
2008-03-20 17:04 < Lucifer_Cat> *sigh* cya guys later
2008-03-20 17:04 < ShakespeareFan00> TAKE IT ELSEWHERE PLEASE!!
2008-03-20 17:05 < The359> why the fuck are we having this conversation?
2008-03-20 17:05 < fruitbag> hah
2008-03-20 17:05 < fruitbag> you people are so gullible
2008-03-20 17:05 < fruitbag> you really thing I did those things?
2008-03-20 17:05 < SynergeticMag> what conversation, fruitbags the only one talking about it
2008-03-20 17:05 < The359> that's not an answer
2008-03-20 17:05 < fruitbag> Why would anyone stick slices of cheese on someone's boobs?
2008-03-20 17:05 < SynergeticMag> i'm second guessing the cheese
2008-03-20 17:05 < SynergeticMag> :)
2008-03-20 17:05 < ShakespeareFan00> TAKE IT ELSEWHERE!!
2008-03-20 17:06 < SynergeticMag> fetish maybe?
2008-03-20 17:06 < FoeNyx> Lady_Aleena> seems there were some episodes of paris enquête criminelle (season two) 2 hours ago on tv here ^^' will check the credit
2008-03-20 17:06 < SynergeticMag> i put oatmeal on my cats toes
2008-03-20 17:06 < Demi> this reminds me of the conversation from the 40-year-old virgin where Carell talks about sex and obviously doesn't understand anythnig about it
2008-03-20 17:06 < Demi> likening boobs to "a bag of sand" and so forth
2008-03-20 17:06 < SynergeticMag> lol
2008-03-20 17:06 < Lady_Aleena> FoeNyx: You are in France?
2008-03-20 17:06 < FoeNyx> Lady_Aleena> yes
2008-03-20 17:06 < ShakespeareFan00> Well I sometimes think of boobs as milk-bags :(
2008-03-20 17:07 < ShakespeareFan00> which isn't inaccurate
2008-03-20 17:07 < fruitbag> got milk?
2008-03-20 17:07 < SynergeticMag> yeah but thats a likely conclusion
2008-03-20 17:07 < The359> they're bags of fat
2008-03-20 17:07 < The359> duh
2008-03-20 17:07 < ShakespeareFan00> O...K....
2008-03-20 17:07 < SynergeticMag> FoeNyx: send me a ticket
2008-03-20 17:07 < Lady_Aleena> I might have found something, but with the link dead, I am not sure.
2008-03-20 17:07 < SynergeticMag> i'll pay you back
2008-03-20 17:07 < SynergeticMag> promise :)
2008-03-20 17:09 < Lady_Aleena> It looks like there was an article on the couriermail.com.au web site, but it has since been taken down since it is about a year and a half old about this. I wish it was still there. BLAST!
2008-03-20 17:10 < FoeNyx> Lady_Aleena> can't find mention of his name in the actors list of the two episodes broadcasted tonight :\
2008-03-20 17:10 < SynergeticMag> you just need one credible source to say "tv crossovers are real, not imagined, and happen all the time"
2008-03-20 17:11 < SynergeticMag> FoeNyx: you're ignoring my request, are you afraid i'll get there and order french fries or something?
2008-03-20 17:11 < SynergeticMag> hmm?
2008-03-20 17:11 < Lady_Aleena> SynergeticMag, I am trying to find one...
2008-03-20 17:11 < FoeNyx> SynergeticMag> :o
2008-03-20 17:11 * SynergeticMag turns off National Lampoons European Vacation
2008-03-20 17:11 < FoeNyx> SynergeticMag> sorry sir, we only have freedom fries left
2008-03-20 17:11 < SynergeticMag> gack
2008-03-20 17:11 < SynergeticMag> those taste horible
2008-03-20 17:11 < SynergeticMag> horrible *
2008-03-20 17:12 < FoeNyx> anyway belgium is the real country of french fries >.>
2008-03-20 17:12 < SynergeticMag> i hated when they said freedom fries though
2008-03-20 17:12 * Demi fries FoeNyx twice in ox fat
2008-03-20 17:13 < SynergeticMag> yes, but its a common mistake, i was taking advantage of the cultural ignoarnce of most of the accidental tourists
2008-03-20 17:13 < SynergeticMag> misnomer
2008-03-20 17:13 < Leslie_S> french fries are called french fries because theyre frenched...
2008-03-20 17:13 < Leslie_S> ;p
2008-03-20 17:13 < Leslie_S> ShakespeareFan00 why would you think that?
2008-03-20 17:13 < Leslie_S> ShakespeareFan00 thats crazy.
2008-03-20 17:14 < ShakespeareFan00> Boobs are mmary glands :)
2008-03-20 17:14 < ShakespeareFan00> *mammary glands
2008-03-20 17:14 < Leslie_S> oh well, i had this stupid girl i used to hang out with..she tried to tell me that boobs are made of fat.
2008-03-20 17:14 < Leslie_S> what a moron
2008-03-20 17:14 < Leslie_S> theyre made of fat, mammary glands, milk ducts, and dont forget the skin!
2008-03-20 17:15 < Cyrius> there is something remarkably wrong with this: http://lolbama2008.blogspot.com/2008/03/hellol.html
2008-03-20 17:15 < FoeNyx> Lady_Aleena> http://www.allocine.fr/series/casting_gen_cserie=3175&activite=2&csaison=.html not in the secondary actors list :(
2008-03-20 17:16 < SynergeticMag> uh, if you called the "Obamaphone" who else should answer?
2008-03-20 17:16 < SynergeticMag> obviously the owner of the phone
2008-03-20 17:16 < SynergeticMag> unless of course they stole the phone
2008-03-20 17:16 < Leslie_S> i think this is the same person who tried to tell me that ear lobes are made of cartilage too
2008-03-20 17:16 < Leslie_S> seriously, what the hell?
2008-03-20 17:16 < SynergeticMag> then they shouldnt be president based on stealing other candidates phones
2008-03-20 17:17 < Leslie_S> cartilage is hard. earlobes arent.
2008-03-20 17:18 < FoeNyx> Leslie_S> http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/cartilage (external ears ?)
2008-03-20 17:19 < SynergeticMag> The earlobe is composed of tough areolar and adipose (fatty) connective tissues, lacking the firmness and elasticity of the rest of the pinna, since the earlobe contains no cartilage.
2008-03-20 17:19 < Leslie_S> FoeNyx i said ear LOBES.
2008-03-20 17:19 < SynergeticMag> ....you learn something new everyday i say, everyday
2008-03-20 17:19 < Leslie_S> FoeNyx god, feel the main part of your ear, and then feel the earlobe. feel the difference? the lobe is made of skin and fat essentially, the rest is cartilage.
2008-03-20 17:20 < FoeNyx> Leslie_S> right :p
2008-03-20 17:20 < SynergeticMag> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ear_lobe
2008-03-20 17:20 < Leslie_S> that is why cartilage piercings heal differently than earlobe piercings. because its different type of tissue.
2008-03-20 17:20 < SynergeticMag> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartilage
2008-03-20 17:20 < ShakespeareFan00> Leslie_S: Now anything about log flumes?
2008-03-20 17:20 < ShakespeareFan00> *know
2008-03-20 17:20 < Leslie_S> absolutely nothing
2008-03-20 17:21 < fruitbag> OMG
2008-03-20 17:21 < fruitbag> There are so many crap channels on satelite
2008-03-20 17:21 < fruitbag> heh
2008-03-20 17:21 < fruitbag> They make my eyes bleed
2008-03-20 17:21 < bumm13> fruitbag: in the U.S.?
2008-03-20 17:21 < fruitbag> bumm13: no, internationally
2008-03-20 17:21 < FoeNyx> SynergeticMag> Tutankhamen has hard (golden) ear lobes in the articles
2008-03-20 17:21 < Cyrius> because there are so many crap channels
2008-03-20 17:21 < fruitbag> International channels
2008-03-20 17:21 < bumm13> which ones are you skimming through? (curious)
2008-03-20 17:21 < SynergeticMag> why wouldnt he? hes dead
2008-03-20 17:21 < fruitbag> Cyrius: I'm just referring to how the poor aesthetics of these channels
2008-03-20 17:21 < SynergeticMag> and is reduced to a face mask
2008-03-20 17:21 < fruitbag> ...bad presenters, bad design
2008-03-20 17:22 < fruitbag> It's horrible
2008-03-20 17:22 < bumm13> do you have a DVB/MPEG-2 system?
2008-03-20 17:23 < SynergeticMag> actually FoeNyx, i noticed something about that article
2008-03-20 17:23 < SynergeticMag> its not NPOV
2008-03-20 17:23 < SynergeticMag> why the hell is Tut in there anyway?
2008-03-20 17:24 < FoeNyx> SynergeticMag> he has pierced earlobes (it's in the Earlobe piercing section ) as an historical reference of earlobes piercing
2008-03-20 17:24 < SynergeticMag> i dont beieve its the most common in all the world either
2008-03-20 17:24 < SynergeticMag> maybe in the US
2008-03-20 17:24 < SynergeticMag> yeah but, his picture in the article makes little sense
2008-03-20 17:25 < fruitbag> Guys... the quality of these channels are extremely poor.
2008-03-20 17:25 < fruitbag> For instance, I know a channel, a TV channel, I should emphasise, that constantly plays audio music.
2008-03-20 17:25 < fruitbag> ...now, what's the point of a TV channel when you're going to end up doing that?
2008-03-20 17:25 < fruitbag> While the music plays, it shows a cheesy slideshow of flowers
2008-03-20 17:25 < fruitbag> wtf?
2008-03-20 17:26 < Demi> why not have that? that's probably the only thing i sort of miss about digital cable
2008-03-20 17:26 < FoeNyx> SynergeticMag> his pierced earlobes are well visible, thus more credible to thoses reluctant to believe that pharaons had pierced earlobes >.>
2008-03-20 17:26 < AppleBoy> anyone here good with apple motion?
2008-03-20 17:26 < SynergeticMag> i'm eating apple cin. oatmeal
2008-03-20 17:26 < FoeNyx> AppleBoy> apple falls
2008-03-20 17:26 < SynergeticMag> does that count?
2008-03-20 17:27 < FoeNyx> AppleBoy> so said newton and gravity ..
2008-03-20 17:27 < FoeNyx> ok sorry
2008-03-20 17:27 < AppleBoy> heh
2008-03-20 17:27 < SynergeticMag> FoeNyx: yet there is not one citation, and there are in fact, fact tags
2008-03-20 17:27 < SynergeticMag> steve jobs needs to give me a job, then i'll use apple
2008-03-20 17:28 < SynergeticMag> other than that, i'm anti apple
2008-03-20 17:28 < SynergeticMag> and newton was wrong
2008-03-20 17:28 < SynergeticMag> which is why he was ammended
2008-03-20 17:28 < SynergeticMag> well, his theory was ammended, not him as a person
2008-03-20 17:29 < FoeNyx> SynergeticMag> I can't correct not NPOV en: articles, my english level is to weak for that, so go ahead and neutralize it for me :p
2008-03-20 17:29 < Demi> http://www.lamperdlesslethal.com/ <- the guy in they Dynamic Training Suit there looks like he's having a *great* time
2008-03-20 17:29 < fruitbag> What's the point of doing a TV channel when all you're going to end up broadcasting is audio?
2008-03-20 17:29 < SynergeticMag> i'm too lazy
2008-03-20 17:29 < fruitbag> I really don't understand.
2008-03-20 17:29 < fruitbag> Lazy owners?
2008-03-20 17:29 < fruitbag> ...unimaginative?
2008-03-20 17:29 < SynergeticMag> i wont even clean my oatmeal bowl
2008-03-20 17:30 < Demi> What's the point of having a radio frequency if all you're doing with it is transmit audio, not data?
2008-03-20 17:30 < Demi> What's the point of having a sheet of paper if all you're going to do on it is write, instead ofmaking a paper airplane?
2008-03-20 17:30 < FoeNyx> Demi> audio is data
2008-03-20 17:30 < SynergeticMag> fruitbag: because some of those channels play music you really cant find anywhere else
2008-03-20 17:30 < Demi> Right, *that's* what's wrong with what I said
2008-03-20 17:30 < FoeNyx> Demi> but all data are not audio
2008-03-20 17:31 < Lady_Aleena> SynergeticMag, would the blog of a jounalist with a Wikipedia article be good enough to be a reference?
2008-03-20 17:31 < FoeNyx> Demi> nothing, i'm just tired …
2008-03-20 17:31 < SynergeticMag> no
2008-03-20 17:31 < bumm13> fruitbag: what satellite system do you have?
2008-03-20 17:31 < FoeNyx> have a good night/day
2008-03-20 17:31 < SynergeticMag> no blogs are aloud
2008-03-20 17:31 < bumm13> nite FoeNyx
2008-03-20 17:32 < SynergeticMag> it has to be published, mutiple independent sources
2008-03-20 17:32 < SynergeticMag> rather, at least one
2008-03-20 17:32 < SynergeticMag> independent
2008-03-20 17:32 < FoeNyx> bye bumm13 :)
2008-03-20 17:32 < Lady_Aleena> SynergeticMag, it the paper that has a story with the key words would let it be accessed, then I would use that.
2008-03-20 17:33 < SynergeticMag> you can use a paper, but the words on the article need to reflect what the paper is saying
2008-03-20 17:33 < SynergeticMag> and then cite it, proving when the web site was accessed
2008-03-20 17:34 < Leslie_S> NotACow around?

2008-03-20 17:38 < Lady_Aleena> I have to get some stuff done around the house. I will still be searching. I know that she wrote something on it. The journalist is [[Amy Amatangelo]].
2008-03-20 17:40 < SynergeticMag> i have to get stuff done too
2008-03-20 17:40 < SynergeticMag> i'm just too lazy
2008-03-20 17:40 < SynergeticMag> apathetic too

2008-03-20 18:28 < beepboop77> anyone else for the abolition of WP:Humor pages?
2008-03-20 18:28 < Cyrius> no.
2008-03-20 18:28 < FastLizard4> NO!!
2008-03-20 18:28 < Cyrius> and lubaf will murder you in your sleep
2008-03-20 18:28 < beepboop77> wikipedia editors are notoriously not funny
2008-03-20 18:29 < beepboop77> ha sorry
2008-03-20 18:29 < FastLizard4> >:D
2008-03-20 18:31 < Lubaf> Cyrius: Not murder.
2008-03-20 18:31 < Lubaf> Torture, maybe.
2008-03-20 18:31 < Lubaf> Slowly and painfully.
2008-03-20 18:31 < Lubaf> But he'd be alive at the end.
2008-03-20 18:31 < beepboop77> thanks?
2008-03-20 18:32 < Lubaf> beepboop77: As long as you stay on my good side, it's not going to happen.
2008-03-20 18:32 < Lubaf> Anyway, on an actually serious note.
2008-03-20 18:32 < beepboop77> hah its just that i stumble across them all the time and theyre just inside jokes that only hXc editors care about
2008-03-20 18:33 < Lubaf> What's going on with the Fair Use Image Purge?
2008-03-20 18:33 < Lubaf> beepboop77: You seen [[WP:SURPRISING]]?
2008-03-20 18:34 < ST47> ArbCom is deliberating slowly, the bots continue to tag images, users continue to whine
2008-03-20 18:34 < beepboop77> no ill check it out, my mind is open
2008-03-20 18:34 < beepboop77> but my hopes remain low
2008-03-20 18:35 < beepboop77> how widespread is the problem really of users mislabeling images as fair use, lotta googlers out there
2008-03-20 19:17 < ShakespeareFan00> Hmm
2008-03-20 19:17 < ShakespeareFan00> I am NOT pleased with You Tube :(
2008-03-20 19:18 < FastLizard4|busy> :?
2008-03-20 19:18 < mavhc> are you pleased with anything?
2008-03-20 19:18 < Cyrius> I'd say no
2008-03-20 19:24 < FastLizard4|busy> How do you dissalow all robots from scanning your website?
2008-03-20 19:24 < FastLizard4|busy> (using robots.txt)
2008-03-20 19:25 < mavhc> not using lasers? I don't care then
2008-03-20 19:28 < Schrodinger_Cat> I am NOT pleased with the US Govt. After taking 25.4% of every paycheck, I still owe $350 in taxes.
2008-03-20 19:28 < Schrodinger_Cat> ;_;
2008-03-20 19:29 < ShakespeareFan00> You Tube let's people post SICK RCT3 videos :(
2008-03-20 19:31 < ShakespeareFan00> But perhaps I should be more annoyed at the people that post them :(
2008-03-20 19:31 < Schrodinger_Cat> ShakespeareFan00: RCT3?
2008-03-20 19:31 < ShakespeareFan00> Roller Coaster Tycoon3
2008-03-20 19:31 < Schrodinger_Cat> Ah.
2008-03-20 19:31 < kenlyric> yes
2008-03-20 19:32 < ShakespeareFan00> It seems some people get some peverse fun of posting 'sucide' coasters :(
2008-03-20 19:35 < mavhc> so?
2008-03-20 19:36 < ShakespeareFan00> It's not right
2008-03-20 19:36 < mavhc> you're not pleased with videos of games, but you're not doing anything about the millions of real people dying?
2008-03-20 19:36 < ShakespeareFan00> Hmm
2008-03-20 19:36 < ShakespeareFan00> You have a point
2008-03-20 19:37 < ShakespeareFan00> There's plenty of other stuff to be angry about
2008-03-20 19:37 < mavhc> cheer up, there's real tragedy happening all the time!
2008-03-20 19:38 < ShakespeareFan00> I just don't like the way some people think it's fun to create 'death' and sucide rides given the efforts the proffesional ride people take to avoid
2008-03-20 19:38 < ShakespeareFan00> creating dangerous coasters...
2008-03-20 19:38 < ShakespeareFan00> I have the same view about MSTS crash videos ;(
2008-03-20 19:39 < mavhc> better than doing it in real life
2008-03-20 19:39 < mavhc> that's the point of simulations anyway
2008-03-20 19:39 < ShakespeareFan00> True
2008-03-20 19:40 < ShakespeareFan00> And there are people that have sensibly used MSTS and Trainz for accident investigaion work...
2008-03-20 19:40 * Schrodinger_Cat watches the first result under "Roller Coaster Tycoon 3, Suicide coaster"
2008-03-20 19:40 * Schrodinger_Cat lulz
2008-03-20 19:40 < Schrodinger_Cat> mavhc: MSTS?
2008-03-20 19:40 < ShakespeareFan00> Microsoft Train Simulator
2008-03-20 19:41 < Schrodinger_Cat> ShakespeareFan00: Ah. Ok.
2008-03-20 19:41 < mavhc> the bowling one is funny
2008-03-20 19:41 < mavhc> microsoft: our OS is boring, and so are our games
2008-03-20 19:42 < zvook> you think it detracts from the efforts of proffesional ride people?
2008-03-20 19:42 < Schrodinger_Cat> ShakespeareFan00: I guess I all I have to say to that is, "Chill, its just a game."
2008-03-20 19:42 < zvook> that is truly a bizarre complaint.
2008-03-20 19:42 < ShakespeareFan00> To an extent it doesn't help
2008-03-20 19:44 < ShakespeareFan00> But then maybe I over-react
2008-03-20 19:45 < mavhc> ShakespeareFan00: that's CRAZY, you NEVER over-react!!!!
2008-03-20 19:45 < ShakespeareFan00> ;)
2008-03-20 19:45 < ShakespeareFan00> I am not pleased , but I don't go running around flagging them
