2008-04-04 19:34 < The359> ORLANDO, Fla. -- Florida teens who believe drinking a cap of bleach will prevent HIV and a shot of Mountain Dew will stop pregnancy have prompted lawmakers to push for an overhaul of sex education in the state.
2008-04-04 19:34 < The359> Another myth is that Florida teens also believe that smoking marijuana will prevent a person from getting pregnant, Local 6 reported.
2008-04-04 19:34 < The359> State lawmakers said the myths are spreading because of Florida's abstinence-only sex education, Local 6 reported.
2008-04-04 19:34 < Messedrocker> if good sex educations comes out of this
2008-04-04 19:34 < Messedrocker> then that's good
2008-04-04 19:35 < The359> I wonder if any have died from trying to "prevent HIV"
2008-04-04 19:36 < Messedrocker> yeah
2008-04-04 19:36 < Messedrocker> they prevent HIV by dying
2008-04-04 19:36 < Messedrocker> if you're dead you can't have HIV
2008-04-04 19:36 < The359> Mountain Dew can prevent pregnancy
2008-04-04 19:37 < The359> If you drink enough to destroy your sperm count
2008-04-04 19:37 < Demi> yeah, it depends where you "shoot" it
2008-04-04 19:37 < Fennec> most people who can get pregnant don't have a sperm count to destroy
2008-04-04 19:38 < The359> BSG in an hour and a half :D

2008-04-04 21:30 < Rinn> "Also, the phrase esa señora tiene muy buena cuchara translates literally as "that lady has a very good spoon" and means "that lady cooks very well", referring to the use of a cuchara/spoon while cooking. However, in Guatemala, the word cuchara is used as a synonym of "vagina", which can lead to a very unpleasant situation."

2008-04-04 21:39 < Rinn> [[Spanish profanity]]
2008-04-04 21:39 < Lucifer_Cat> heh
2008-04-04 21:40 < Lucifer_Cat> given the kind of weirdos we get here sometimes, i wonder if anyone has tried to chat up some female sounding nicks in PM here
2008-04-04 21:42 < arcimboldo_> I guess that kind of guys will find women in here too intellectual.
2008-04-04 21:43 < arcimboldo_> They're more likely to try #britneyspears or some boy's band channels.
2008-04-04 21:43 < Rinn> I don't think there's a #britneyspears on Freenode.
2008-04-04 21:43 < arcimboldo_> what a pity
2008-04-04 21:44 < arcimboldo_> boys' band rather
2008-04-04 21:44 < arcimboldo_> or boygroup
2008-04-04 21:45 < Paine> blech.. i think i have flu
2008-04-04 21:47 < Lucifer_Cat> Paine: sad
2008-04-04 21:47 < Paine> very
2008-04-04 21:47 < Lucifer_Cat> i dont think theres any teeny channel on freenode
2008-04-04 21:48 < Paine> on the plus side, I don't have to go out clubbing tomorrow.
2008-04-04 21:48 < Paine> I didn't fancy blowing my money. :p
2008-04-04 21:48 < Lucifer_Cat> arcimboldo_: yeah i agree. but i've seen some nut cases come over
2008-04-04 21:50 < Lucifer_Cat> im bored
2008-04-04 21:50 < Messedrocker> if there WAS a teeny channel
2008-04-04 21:51 < Messedrocker> the only people on it would be pedophiles and people from dateline
2008-04-04 21:51 < Lucifer_Cat> Messedrocker: perfect combo
2008-04-04 21:52 < mavhc> I go there to learn about lasers
2008-04-04 21:52 < Lucifer_Cat> wait, dateline is that 'catch the pedo' show right?
2008-04-04 21:52 < Lucifer_Cat> lasers?
2008-04-04 21:52 < Rinn> I'd go in it to watch the fun.
2008-04-04 21:52 < mavhc> http://britneyspears.ac/lasers.htm
2008-04-04 21:52 < Messedrocker> Lucifer_Cat, Dateline is a general news show, but yeah they prominently feature "To Catch a Predator"
2008-04-04 21:52 < Lucifer_Cat> rinn... and to get flooded with pms
2008-04-04 21:53 < mavhc> also see http://www.routergod.com/deniserichards/

2008-04-04 21:53 < Messedrocker> I thought PMS came before...
2008-04-04 21:54 * ThePolecat is off to spend more time with his family
2008-04-04 21:55 < Lucifer_Cat> lol Messedrocker, thats what i was gonna say when i read your first msg
2008-04-04 21:56 * Lucifer_Cat would have to go atleast 800 miles to do that.
2008-04-04 21:56 * ThePolecat goes clubbing tomorrow
2008-04-04 21:56 < ThePolecat> Specifically, baby seals.
2008-04-04 21:56 < ThePolecat> nevermind.
2008-04-04 21:57 < mavhc> it's either that or clubbing Seal's baby
2008-04-04 21:57 * arcimboldo_ would have to go around 7000 miles.
2008-04-04 22:00 < Lucifer_Cat> arcimboldo_: i understand, i have to travel round the globe to get to my parents.
2008-04-04 22:00 < Monobi2> ThePolecat: save the seals, club a liberal

2008-04-04 22:04 < fundy> Hi, I have a problem with someone rewriting a wikibook I wrote for what appears to be political ends.
2008-04-04 22:04 < Lucifer_Cat> fundy: welcome to wikipedia.
2008-04-04 22:04 < fundy> Thanks.
2008-04-04 22:05 < Lucifer_Cat> that wasnt a greeting.
2008-04-04 22:05 < Fennec> fundy: yeah / is not uncommon problem.
2008-04-04 22:05 < fundy> Should I be in #wikibooks?
2008-04-04 22:05 < Stormscape> According to Wikipedia, I can carbonate any type of food with enough dry ice near it. So technically we could carbonate fruit.
2008-04-04 22:05 < Stormscape> mmmm, carbonated apples.
2008-04-04 22:05 < Lucifer_Cat> what IS a wikibook?
2008-04-04 22:06 < kenlyric> carbonated bacon. Make it happen
2008-04-04 22:06 < arcimboldo_> Lucifer_Cat: welcome to wikipedia
2008-04-04 22:06 < Stormscape> kenlyric, omg!
2008-04-04 22:06 < Lucifer_Cat> arcimboldo_: nice try, but wrong timing.
2008-04-04 22:06 < fundy> Well, what I want to know is what can be done about this user changing the book for his own ends, and the question is, should I be here or in #wikibooks?
2008-04-04 22:07 < Stormscape> CARBONATED BUTTER
2008-04-04 22:07 < Lucifer_Cat> fundy: what is a wikiboook?
2008-04-04 22:07 < arcimboldo_> ? experienced Wikipedians would know what a wikibook is.
2008-04-04 22:07 < fundy> Lucifer_Cat: A wikibooks.org page.
2008-04-04 22:07 < Lucifer_Cat> arcimboldo_: in that case, fuck you.
2008-04-04 22:07 < Lucifer_Cat> ohh that one
2008-04-04 22:08 < Lucifer_Cat> well.... theres a few things you could do...
2008-04-04 22:08 < Lucifer_Cat> maybe.
2008-04-04 22:08 < Lucifer_Cat> as quite obvious, im a noob.
2008-04-04 22:08 < Lucifer_Cat> do the general rules of WP apply to wikibooks?
2008-04-04 22:08 < Fennec> there are some guidelines in common
2008-04-04 22:09 * arcimboldo_ is excited to discover a Simple English version of wikibooks.
2008-04-04 22:09 < Lucifer_Cat> does the same cabal run it?
2008-04-04 22:09 < arcimboldo_> that could make my day ..
2008-04-04 22:09 < arcimboldo_> We have 242 textbook pages in Simple English ... well
2008-04-04 22:10 < Lucifer_Cat> fundy: i dunno if this is applicable, but if its like quite ovbiously politicized, you can tag it with POV i guess
2008-04-04 22:10 < arcimboldo_> http://simple.wikibooks.org/wiki/Cookbook/Content/Hamburger
2008-04-04 22:11 < fundy> Well, here's the history of what's happened: http://en.wikibooks.org/w/index.php?title=A_survival_guide_for_people_on_the_autistic_spectrum&action=history
2008-04-04 22:11 < arcimboldo_> http://simple.wikibooks.org/wiki/Cookbook/Content/Ants_on_a_log ... even greater fine cuisine
2008-04-04 22:12 < fundy> The guy at 24.15.133.159 is the problem.
2008-04-04 22:12 < Messedrocker> sounds disgusting
2008-04-04 22:13 < arcimboldo_> http://simple.wikibooks.org/wiki/Cookbook/Content/Water - is that meant to be serious?
2008-04-04 22:13 < Gracenotes> arcimboldo_: choking on water is very serious. It's very uncomfortable and can result in drowning
2008-04-04 22:15 < arcimboldo_> I know some people who have drunk water for several decades and actually survived.
2008-04-04 22:15 < Leslie_S> arcimboldo_ ...wtf?
2008-04-04 22:15 < FastLizard4|Food> wb splitters
2008-04-04 22:15 < Leslie_S> most people drink water.
2008-04-04 22:16 < Gracenotes> arcimboldo_: they should consider themselves lucky... asphyxiation is one of DHMO's many dangers
2008-04-04 22:16 < arcimboldo_> But did they read the instruction?
2008-04-04 22:17 < gwern> http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikibooks/Logo#j_.28calligraphy.29 <-- this would be a great wikibook logo imo
2008-04-04 22:17 * Fou-Lu needs a wetnap
2008-04-04 22:17 < arcimboldo_> http://simple.wikibooks.org/wiki/Cookbook/Content/Water - actually I fear that there are now millions of taps running forever.
2008-04-04 22:18 * Fou-Lu needs a wetnap
2008-04-04 22:20 < Fou-Lu> Why don't you guys have an article on Encyclopedia Dramatica
2008-04-04 22:20 < Fou-Lu> ?
2008-04-04 22:21 < Messedrocker> Fou-Lu, they are not significant enough to warrant an entry
2008-04-04 22:21 < Paine> non notable afaik
2008-04-04 22:21 < Faroframkallaway> wah wah, alexa rankings
2008-04-04 22:21 < Fou-Lu> Messedrocker: Not notable?
2008-04-04 22:21 < Faroframkallaway> wah wah, laura mcphearson
2008-04-04 22:21 < arcimboldo_> http://simple.wikibooks.org/wiki/World_History/Ancient_Rome seems to have been written by a great admirer of the Etruscans.
2008-04-04 22:21 < Faroframkallaway> wah wah, censorship
2008-04-04 22:21 < Messedrocker> Faroframkallaway, it's "Lisa McPherson"
2008-04-04 22:21 < Faroframkallaway> wah wah, conspiracy
2008-04-04 22:22 < Faroframkallaway> Messedrocker: Laura, Lisa, everyone gets the two names muddled up
2008-04-04 22:22 < gwern> strange how people periodically join asking why no ED entry
2008-04-04 22:22 < Fou-Lu> Messedrocker: Why aren't they notable?
2008-04-04 22:22 < gwern> they never join asking about other entries
2008-04-04 22:22 < arcimboldo_> I'm getting the feeling that Simple English has more contributors who ridicule it than who take it seriously.
2008-04-04 22:22 < Messedrocker> Fou-Lu, there hasn't been enough documentation on Encyclopaedia Dramatica. In short, they have little bearing on reality
2008-04-04 22:22 < gwern> christ, just go read the AfDs if you want to know
2008-04-04 22:22 < Faroframkallaway> Messedrocker: http://youtube.com/watch?v=P-Bjmy-CbWw
2008-04-04 22:22 < Faroframkallaway> see, he does it
2008-04-04 22:23 < Fou-Lu> is wikipedia trying to keep it a secret?
2008-04-04 22:23 < Faroframkallaway> exactly, we're censoring any mention of ED!
2008-04-04 22:23 < arcimboldo_> Does that picture on the Ancient Romans page show an Ancient Roman with a white hat?
2008-04-04 22:23 < Fou-Lu> Faroframkallaway: Not that secret
2008-04-04 22:24 < Faroframkallaway> with JzG and SlimVirgin using their powers to ban anyone without reason!
2008-04-04 22:24 < gwern> indeed. what of it?
2008-04-04 22:24 < Fou-Lu> Faroframkallaway: There is another secret that wikipedia is hiding
2008-04-04 22:24 < Messedrocker> Fou-Lu, we're not trying to keep it a secret
2008-04-04 22:25 < Fou-Lu> That Jews did WTC
2008-04-04 22:25 < Fou-Lu> Jews did WTC
2008-04-04 22:25 < Fou-Lu> Jews did WTC
2008-04-04 22:25 < Fou-Lu> Jews did WTC
2008-04-04 22:25 < Fou-Lu> Jews did WTC
2008-04-04 22:25 < Fou-Lu> Jews did WTC
2008-04-04 22:25 < Fou-Lu> Jews did WTC
2008-04-04 22:25 < Faroframkallaway> !op
2008-04-04 22:25 < Fou-Lu> Jews did WTC
2008-04-04 22:25 < Fou-Lu> Jews did WTC
2008-04-04 22:25 < Fou-Lu> Jews did WTC
2008-04-04 22:25 < Messedrocker> i was about to do the ban >:(
2008-04-04 22:25 < gwern> maybe we should just consider banning anyone whose first question on joining is 'Why is there no Encyclopedia Dramatica article?'
2008-04-04 22:25 < Messedrocker> gwern, that's questionable
2008-04-04 22:25 < MZMcBride> Sorry, Messed.
2008-04-04 22:25 < Faroframkallaway> Messed: might want to make it IRC rules to ban anyone who joins asking about ED or GNAA
2008-04-04 22:25 < gwern> that's the third nick I've seen in the past few weeks that was up to no good, and joined asking that question
2008-04-04 22:26 < Faroframkallaway> at least
2008-04-04 22:26 < Messedrocker> Faroframkallaway, that's questionable
2008-04-04 22:26 < Faroframkallaway> I'm in agreement with gwern here
2008-04-04 22:26 < Messedrocker> it is possible for someone to have an innocuous curiosity
2008-04-04 22:26 < Pilotguy> Messedrocker- Don't do that
2008-04-04 22:26 < Pilotguy> Faroframkallaway- Bring it up with the IRC contacts
2008-04-04 22:26 < gwern> Messedrocker: judging from history, it seems not
2008-04-04 22:26 < Faroframkallaway> exactly
2008-04-04 22:26 < Messedrocker> Pilotguy, don't do what?
2008-04-04 22:27 < Pilotguy> Messedrocker [n=messedro@wikipedia/MessedRocker] has set channel mode +m
2008-04-04 22:27 < Messedrocker> Pilotguy, it's a temp measure I take while getting the person's hostmask
2008-04-04 22:28 < fundy> Hmm
2008-04-04 22:29 < MZMcBride> Messedrocker: I like the fact that you +m.
2008-04-04 22:30 < Messedrocker> eh, MZMcBride?
2008-04-04 22:30 < MZMcBride> Yeah. As a temp measure, I like it.
2008-04-04 22:32 < Messedrocker> does Lufthansa still do Wi-Fi on their flights?
2008-04-04 22:33 < Stormscape> Maybe.
2008-04-04 22:34 < Messedrocker> international flight
2008-04-04 22:34 < Messedrocker> intercontinental flight

2008-04-04 22:36 * Gracenotes watches
2008-04-04 22:38 < Mike_H> Nice look! ...if you're trying to conceal your third trimester.
2008-04-04 22:38 < Gracenotes> Mike_H: a bit less coherent this time, if you can believe that...
2008-04-04 22:38 < NotACow> DEATH TO COHERENCE
2008-04-04 22:38 < Mike_H> Gracenotes: A bit
2008-04-04 22:38 < Mike_H> "Could you be more rapey?"
2008-04-04 22:41 < Mike_H> Gracenotes: You're nothing but a glamour puss and hot-bottomed head tilt and cocoa fist!
2008-04-04 22:43 < Mike_H> Gracenotes: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79MBEFSnDTI
2008-04-04 22:43 < Mike_H> and I don't think you saw this either
2008-04-04 22:47 < Gracenotes> Mike_H: I have...
2008-04-04 22:47 < Gracenotes> iirc\

2008-04-04 22:52 < Gracenotes> hehe
2008-04-04 22:54 < Mike_H> Yes, I did take liberties with your husband's O-ring! Huge part of fashion.
2008-04-04 22:55 < Gracenotes> poor Brenda...
2008-04-04 22:56 < NotACow> eeeew
2008-04-04 22:56 < Mike_H> NotACow: A toilet cubicle. Who hasn't traded a little quick sex with this cat this morning?
2008-04-04 22:58 < Messedrocker> toilet cubicle?
2008-04-04 22:58 < Messedrocker> what are you, british?
2008-04-04 23:23 < felixtehcat> hey is there an Admin-for-a-day program
2008-04-04 23:24 < Messedrocker> no
2008-04-04 23:24 < felixtehcat> what? but what harm could come from that
2008-04-04 23:25 < Messedrocker> no harm at all
2008-04-04 23:25 < Messedrocker> we just don't have that program
2008-04-04 23:25 < felixtehcat> but what about the shorties
2008-04-04 23:25 < felixtehcat> how will they learn
2008-04-04 23:25 < felixtehcat> how will you inspire them
2008-04-04 23:25 < Messedrocker> (well you could argue they can do harm, but admin actions are reversable)
2008-04-04 23:25 < felixtehcat> they could delete images
2008-04-04 23:25 < felixtehcat> but they wouldnt
2008-04-04 23:25 < The359> Images are on Commons
2008-04-04 23:25 < Messedrocker> image deletions are reversable
2008-04-04 23:26 < The359> and are archived
2008-04-04 23:26 < felixtehcat> wha how does one troll wikipedia then
2008-04-04 23:26 < felixtehcat> not fair. not even fair

2008-04-04 23:40 < Monobi2> Allentown
2008-04-04 23:48 < The359> Allentown isn't 10 minutes long
2008-04-04 23:48 < Messedrocker> what is the term for the belief that all christian churches are one despite being different sects?
2008-04-04 23:50 < Gracenotes> there's a term for that? >:
2008-04-04 23:50 < Messedrocker> there sure is
2008-04-04 23:51 < Enterprise_Cat> omg
2008-04-04 23:51 < Enterprise_Cat> chetblong sox!
2008-04-04 23:51 * arcimboldo_ creates the word Panchristianism
2008-04-04 23:53 < Gracenotes> Messedrocker: well, the term "one Body" is commonly used... a Google search yields http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/15179a.htm
2008-04-04 23:57 < Gracenotes> arcimboldo_: Christian nationalism? :P
2008-04-05 00:01 < Enterprise_Cat> oh teh noes, it's werdan7!
2008-04-05 00:02 < arcimboldo_> Gracenotes: "Pan" doesn't imply nationalism.
2008-04-05 00:03 < arcimboldo_> There's "Pantheism" too
2008-04-05 00:03 < werdan7> oh noes!
2008-04-05 00:03 < Gracenotes> yes. but when applied to large groups of individuals, it tends to. (obviously, I was making a pun, etc.)
2008-04-05 00:04 < arcimboldo_> Pan just means "containing everything".

2008-04-05 00:05 < arcimboldo_> Yeah, it's more the "ism" w
2008-04-05 00:06 < arcimboldo_> There's the Panamericana which is just meant to say that it runs through all of America ...
2008-04-05 00:07 < arcimboldo_> And Panamericanism correspondingly means supporting the unity of all of America.
2008-04-05 00:35 < Mark_Ryan> someone died in a car accident near my house this morning
2008-04-05 00:36 < Enterprise_Cat> o_O'
2008-04-05 00:36 < Enterprise_Cat> o_O even
2008-04-05 00:38 < cimon> Mark_Ryan, seems there is stuff like that going around... day before yesterday, the police and ambulance took a body from my building...
2008-04-05 00:39 * Mark_Ryan sighs
2008-04-05 00:39 < Mark_Ryan> death is all around
2008-04-05 00:40 < gwern> Gilgamesh, where is the man who has never died? What his land, what his home? how did he come to be such? seek him not out, O mighty Gilgamesh, for you are not he.
2008-04-05 00:43 < cimon> gwern: yes, and graveyards are all replete with unreplacable men...
2008-04-05 00:44 < cimon> or should that be irreplacable, meh
2008-04-05 00:44 < Enterprise_Cat> cimon: Bah, semantics
2008-04-05 00:45 < gwern> Show me the person who doesn't die;
2008-04-05 00:45 < gwern> death remains impartial.
2008-04-05 00:45 < gwern> I recall a towering man
2008-04-05 00:45 < gwern> who is now a pile of dust-
2008-04-05 00:45 < gwern> the World Below knows no dawn
2008-04-05 00:45 < gwern> plants enjoy another spring
2008-04-05 00:45 < gwern> but those who visit this sorrowful place
2008-04-05 00:45 < gwern> the pine wind slays with grief.
2008-04-05 00:47 < cimon> Arthur C. Clarke (Requiescat In Pace) said something to the tune that we each man jack of us, carry 30 ghosts, since that is how many more times people have lived than live now...
2008-04-05 00:47 < cimon> Though I suppose the factor would be a bit lower now....
2008-04-05 00:47 < gwern> 30 ghosts? I thought it was about 10 or so
2008-04-05 00:47 < gwern> (a total of ~90 billion, with ~7 billion alive now)
2008-04-05 00:48 < hardtodrink> hello
2008-04-05 00:48 < cimon> I don't know if Arthur did the math correctly, but that is the number on wikiquote...
2008-04-05 00:48 < gwern> at least that's vaguely recollected from my reading on the doomsday hypothesis
2008-04-05 00:53 < cimon> "Behind every man now alive stand 30 ghosts, for that is the ratio by which the dead outnumber the living.

2008-04-05 00:54 < cimon> just to prove I wasn't hallucinating...
2008-04-05 00:55 < cimon> I don't mind my 30, as long as they don't say "boo!" too loudly...
2008-04-05 00:56 < cimon> I do wonder what the real figure is though...
2008-04-05 00:57 < AdamBishop> probably 0
2008-04-05 00:57 < nokmar> ~13
2008-04-05 00:57 < gwern> 'The tradition of all dead generations weighs like a nightmare on the brains of the living ' Marx
2008-04-05 00:57 < cimon> reminds me of the monkey cage joke with the punchline
2008-04-05 00:58 < gwern> hard to say, because were do you draw the nonhuman/human line? 2 mya? 100k?
2008-04-05 00:58 < cimon> "See, sonny, that's just the way we do things around here."
2008-04-05 01:00 < cimon> AdamBishop, you believe in reincarnation, or just don't believe in ghosts?
2008-04-05 01:01 < AdamBishop> I don't believe in either
2008-04-05 01:02 < cimon> AdamBishop, I believe in P.T.Barnum
2008-04-05 01:03 < Demi> hi AdamBishop
2008-04-05 01:03 < cimon> No matter how many frauds and natural explanations you figure out, there will ever be somebody willing to believe.
2008-04-05 01:03 < Messedrocker> the souls of dead people are absorbed by random individuals, giving them schizophrenia
2008-04-05 01:04 < cimon> Messedrocker, so where do babies souls come from?
2008-04-05 01:04 < cimon> as far as we go, we are producing more than are depleted...
2008-04-05 01:04 < AdamBishop> hey Demi!
2008-04-05 01:04 < Demi> cimon - you obviously have not had children
2008-04-05 01:04 < Demi> they come from a market
2008-04-05 01:04 < Messedrocker> cimon, they are manufactured and released
2008-04-05 01:05 < Messedrocker> DuPont has a brand of soul made from polymers
2008-04-05 01:05 < Messedrocker> it's very sturdy
2008-04-05 01:05 < Messedrocker> and it makes good insulation
2008-04-05 01:06 < cimon> well, as mrbid as this discussion is, at least it isn't as frenetic as usual...
2008-04-05 01:06 < Messedrocker> Larry Sanger is responsible for producing 500,000 souls each day by virtue of existing
2008-04-05 01:07 < Messedrocker> however the most prominent source of souls
2008-04-05 01:07 < Messedrocker> is the ocean
2008-04-05 01:07 < cimon> I believe we only need souls, so we can take one step at a time...
2008-04-05 01:08 < cimon> ...and figure out we will get somewhere.
2008-04-05 01:08 < cimon> Otherwise we would be trapped by Zenos paradox.
2008-04-05 01:08 < gwern> we should all just buy some General Products hull
2008-04-05 01:08 < gwern> those things are so impenetrable even death can't get through them
2008-04-05 01:09 < Messedrocker> cimon, the DuPont Tyvek Soul has an upgrade to protect people from Zenos paradox
2008-04-05 01:09 < cimon> Am I the same man as just typed the previous word. No not that one, the one before this...
2008-04-05 01:09 < gwern> it's kind of funny, but General Products has actually existed. the anime studio Gainax set up a subsidiary of that name to sell merchandise and garage kits
2008-04-05 01:09 < Demi> paradox-absorbing crumple zones
2008-04-05 01:10 < gwern> eh. personal identity is only a partial ordering.
2008-04-05 01:10 < cimon> gwern, Acme company exists too, I have a life vest emergency whistle manufactured by Acme...
2008-04-05 01:10 * Demi is a theseus ship of pizzas and whatnot
2008-04-05 01:10 < bumm13> hiya Demi
2008-04-05 01:10 < AdamBishop> Demi, my son thinks it is hilarious when he poops as I am putting on a new diaper
2008-04-05 01:10 < Demi> but what about the american radioactive gas company?
2008-04-05 01:11 < Demi> AdamBishop - awesome
2008-04-05 01:11 < gwern> cimon: heh heh
2008-04-05 01:11 < bumm13> ah, mischievous like his ol' dad
2008-04-05 01:11 < AdamBishop> also, no matter how frustrating he can be, it is impossible to be mad at him when he is happy from recognizing me
2008-04-05 01:11 < Demi> yep
2008-04-05 01:11 < cimon> Demi, I am betting there is a Yoyodyne company too.
2008-04-05 01:11 < AdamBishop> having a baby is a lot more fun than I expect
2008-04-05 01:11 < AdamBishop> expected
2008-04-05 01:11 * gwern would not take that bet
2008-04-05 01:12 < gwern> [[yoyodyne]]: Yoyodyne is the name of several companies, both in fiction and real life.
2008-04-05 01:12 < Demi> yeah, i anticipated it being cool to have a five-year-old or whatever, but i did not anticipate how neat babies are
2008-04-05 01:12 < gwern> it has not one but three real companies
2008-04-05 01:12 < Demi> now my son wants to reminisce about what it was like when he was a baby!
2008-04-05 01:12 < bumm13> heh
2008-04-05 01:14 * Chetblong is munching on a Hot Pocket
2008-04-05 01:14 < Demi> today he was ringmaster at a circus his preschool put on. so i took video, in part because he wanted to see it later. today he's watching it, and there's a crying baby in the background, and he says "ugh, i wish that baby would be quiet."
2008-04-05 01:15 < Chetblong> *munch* *munch*
2008-04-05 01:15 < bumm13> haha
2008-04-05 01:15 * bumm13 jumps through the hoop
2008-04-05 01:15 < cimon> gwern: hah hah: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoyodyne#Yoyodyne_in_real_life
2008-04-05 01:15 < Demi> the "wild animals" jumping through the hoop were pretty funny
2008-04-05 01:16 < gwern> cimon: I already saw that
2008-04-05 01:16 < gwern> Demi: stupid babies. we hate them so much!
2008-04-05 01:17 < Demi> well, i reminded him that he used to cry when he was a baby. and he says "was i that loud?" and i said, "oh, you were so much louder."
2008-04-05 01:18 < I_am_Keegan> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Brion_Vibber_Day
2008-04-05 01:18 < I_am_Keegan> That is the best thing I've ever seen
2008-04-05 01:19 < gwern> vibber's done more practically speaking for WP than jimbo has since the founding, that's fer sure
2008-04-05 01:19 < bumm13> one of the technical luminaries at Wikimedia
2008-04-05 01:19 < gwern> good ol' brion. having a section named after him at the Signpost is really too insignificant a monument
2008-04-05 01:21 < cimon> interesting to note that jimbo hasn't decreed any new days after brions, in 2004
2008-04-05 01:21 < gwern> cimon: what, he should have more than one day a year?
2008-04-05 01:21 < gwern> we'd run out of days
2008-04-05 01:22 < cimon> well there has been a gap of four years.
2008-04-05 01:22 < privatemusings> g'day folks...
2008-04-05 01:22 < privatemusings> good lord - just noticed the topic in the channel....
2008-04-05 01:22 < cimon> not that I say there has been anyone deserving that...
2008-04-05 01:22 < cimon> most of the moving that has continued has been by those same folks, Tim, Brion and Magnus
2008-04-05 01:23 < gwern> hm. maybe tim should get june 2
2008-04-05 01:23 < cimon> maybe belatedly install a day for Crocker
2008-04-05 01:23 < Demi> well, my torrent doesn't seem to be getting much faster much faster, so talk to y'all later
2008-04-05 01:23 * Demi &
2008-04-05 01:24 * gwern C-z
2008-04-05 01:27 * I_am_Keegan declares gwern days, but only on leap years
2008-04-05 01:27 < I_am_Keegan> So, you're going to have to wait
2008-04-05 01:28 < Krimpet> how about April 31?
2008-04-05 01:28 < Lubaf> Thou shalt not steal if there is a direct victim / Thou shalt not worship pop idols, or follow lost profits.
2008-04-05 01:28 < SWATJester> brb
2008-04-05 01:28 < I_am_Keegan> "Thou shalt not steal if there is a direct victim"
2008-04-05 01:28 < privatemusings> g;day krimpet.....
2008-04-05 01:28 < I_am_Keegan> that made me laugh
2008-04-05 01:29 * privatemusings just likes saying 'krimpet'
