2008-04-18 23:35 < Messedrocker> there's a *chan with a rule-34 board
2008-04-18 23:35 < Messedrocker> i think it's 7chan
2008-04-18 23:36 < goshzilla^> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_34
2008-04-18 23:36 < goshzilla^> has this ever been VFD'd
2008-04-18 23:36 < goshzilla^> ?
2008-04-18 23:36 < goshzilla^> anyway, what are the other 33 (at least) rules?
2008-04-18 23:37 < Gracenotes> the individual who invented it never bothered to tell us
2008-04-18 23:37 < quanticle> Alkivar: Put up a request on 7chan
2008-04-18 23:37 < quanticle> goshzilla^: That's the joke. There are no rules 1..33
2008-04-18 23:37 < goshzilla^> hmmph :(

2008-04-18 23:38 < quanticle> Alkivar: Heh. Let's see what happens.
2008-04-18 23:38 < Gracenotes> quanticle: huh. I didn't know they had artists at fapchan.
2008-04-18 23:38 < quanticle> Gracenotes: They don't, but I'
2008-04-18 23:38 < quanticle> m sure that such exists
2008-04-18 23:39 < quanticle> And fapchan is legendary for finding things of a... less savory nature from the far corners of the intertubes.
2008-04-18 23:39 < Alkivar> yeah
2008-04-18 23:39 < Alkivar> but so is 4chan
2008-04-18 23:39 < Alkivar> and /b/ has so far let me down
2008-04-18 23:39 < quanticle> Alkivar: Heh. I guess /b/ isn't omnipotent after all...
2008-04-18 23:40 < Alkivar> well /b/ does go by awful fast
2008-04-18 23:40 < Alkivar> i guess if i really wanted help i'd need to spam the shit out of the request
2008-04-18 23:41 < quanticle> miranda: What was your question?
2008-04-18 23:41 < miranda> was there any arbcom decisions based upon conflict of interest
2008-04-18 23:43 < quanticle> miranda: DanaUllman?

2008-04-18 23:58 < Messedrocker> he won $500 and all he had to do was look up keebler elf porn
2008-04-18 23:58 < Lycurgus> I mean who did he bet?
2008-04-18 23:58 < Arwen> Messedrocker, elf porn?
2008-04-18 23:58 < Arwen> WHERE?
2008-04-18 23:59 < Messedrocker> <Alkivar> NSFW: http://cache.paheal.net/_images/0d71652dc6a80880bea24225c0de6dd4/17036%20-%20Keebler%20Lucky_Charms%20mascots.jpg
2008-04-18 23:59 < Messedrocker> Lycurgus, I'm assuming one of his Alki-buddies
2008-04-18 23:59 < Messedrocker> (please don't hit me Alkivar)
2008-04-19 00:00 < Lycurgus> i think I may have been a witness to the bet
2008-04-19 00:00 < Alkivar> lol
2008-04-19 00:00 < Alkivar> i bet my friend kevin his paycheck that rule 34 could not be defeated
2008-04-19 00:01 < Alkivar> the restrictions were 1) it couldnt be made by someone for me... 2) it couldnt be me who made it ... 3) it had to be pre existing and findable on the net
2008-04-19 00:01 < Lycurgus> but it wan't me, I only bet on sure things, and I would have presumed there was lots of elf porn to be found and even with the keebler elf or a smurf
2008-04-19 00:02 < Lycurgus> yeah, I think I remember him putting it (his paycheck) up
2008-04-19 00:02 < Lycurgus> but could be a constructed memory so it can't be used
2008-04-19 00:02 < Alkivar> you dont know my friend kevin so i dont see how
2008-04-19 00:02 < Lycurgus> that's the value of a log and I don't generally keep one on this channel
2008-04-19 00:03 < Alkivar> it wasnt made here in channel the bet was made IRL
2008-04-19 00:03 < Lycurgus> he wasn't on here with you?
2008-04-19 00:03 < Lycurgus> ah
2008-04-19 00:03 < Lycurgus> but you were in here talking about it
2008-04-19 00:03 < Lycurgus> just after the challenge i guess
2008-04-19 00:04 < Lycurgus> so it was a constructed memory
2008-04-19 00:04 < Lycurgus> *confabulated
2008-04-19 00:14 < lazyrobot> anyone know of any wiki that has a content encryption scheme?
2008-04-19 00:17 < FastLizard4|Food> lazyrobot: Wikipedia has a secure server, if that's what you mean
2008-04-19 00:18 < lazyrobot> dosnt sound like it, but possibly? whats a url?
2008-04-19 00:18 < lazyrobot> ahh i see "Use Wikimedia's secure server at https://secure.wikimedia.org/
2008-04-19 00:18 < Mike_H> "The Revolution's main adversaries were the patriots and the people from Braveheart," said speaker Tim Capodice, who has edited hundreds of Wikipedia entries on subjects as diverse as Euclidian geometry and Ratfucking.
2008-04-19 00:18 < Mike_H> "The patriots, being a rag-tag group of misfits, almost lost on several occasions. But after a string of military antics and a convoluted scheme involving chicken feathers and an inflatable woman, the British were eventually defeated despite a last-minute surge, by a score of 89-87."
2008-04-19 00:19 < lazyrobot> No i dont mean transport layer security
2008-04-19 00:19 < lazyrobot> As I said, i mean a content encryption scheme
2008-04-19 00:19 < FastLizard4|Food> oh
2008-04-19 00:19 < FastLizard4|Food> lazyrobot: None running MediaWiki that I know of
2008-04-19 00:20 < denelson83> Pro sports are overrated
2008-04-19 00:20 < lazyrobot> ok thanks FastLizard
2008-04-19 00:20 * denelson83 pops a bag of chips
2008-04-19 00:20 < denelson83> loudly!
2008-04-19 00:22 < denelson83> "Some say that he once found a bag of chips under a glacier, and that he has performed over 1000 circumcisions."
2008-04-19 00:25 < Messedrocker> that's one successful mohel
2008-04-19 00:25 < Messedrocker> i bet mohels get paid a lot, since their job requires acute precision + having to deal with baby penis
2008-04-19 00:26 < denelson83> "All we know is, he's called THE STIG!"

2008-04-19 00:46 < Mike5> http://www.answersingenesis.org/creation/v17/i3/living_tree.asp
2008-04-19 00:47 < Mike5> "It is hard to see how a tree could be older than the time since the biblical Flood, so if its published age of 'more than 10,500 years old' were correct, then this would present a serious challenge to Old Testament chronology."
2008-04-19 00:49 < AdamBishop> obviously God made it appear that old to test our faith
2008-04-19 00:52 < Mike_H> AdamBishop: Going back to Catholic Church?
2008-04-19 00:53 < AdamBishop> the Catholic Church does not endorse something so barbaric as young-earth creationism
2008-04-19 00:54 < gwern> thank goodness
2008-04-19 00:55 < Messedrocker> that's right
2008-04-19 00:56 < Messedrocker> didn't the pope announce that evolution is considerable and creation should be taken metaphorically?
2008-04-19 00:57 < Mike5> In August 2007, the Northern Kentucky Convention & Visitors Bureau was criticized by scientists for describing the Creation Museum as a "'walk through history' museum" that "will counter evolutionary natural history museums that turn countless minds against Christ and Scripture".
2008-04-19 00:57 < Leslie_S> AdamBishop oh really? i met a catholic that was a young earth creationist though. :D i didnt talk to him very long
2008-04-19 00:57 < Leslie_S> AdamBishop but he made it sound like it was like the official stance of the church
2008-04-19 00:59 < miranda> I don't understand when you have a person who you want to community ban
2008-04-19 00:59 < miranda> oh sorry wrong room
2008-04-19 01:00 < AdamBishop> well Leslie_S, I would discount the possibility that many Catholics are idiots
2008-04-19 01:01 < AdamBishop> er...I would discount that.
2008-04-19 01:01 < AdamBishop> fuck!
2008-04-19 01:01 < AdamBishop> I would NOT discount
2008-04-19 01:01 < OverlordQ> lol
2008-04-19 01:02 < AdamBishop> apparently including me. And I'm not even really Catholic!

2008-04-19 04:37 < Rockfang> hi all
2008-04-19 04:38 < Rockfang> does anyone here know where i can verify whether or not all universities are automatically notable?
2008-04-19 04:43 < The359> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_%28schools%29
2008-04-19 04:47 < Rockfang> so universities are not inherently notable
2008-04-19 04:52 < Netsniper> interesting demographic statistics for this school http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floyd_Central
2008-04-19 04:54 < Bacta> hey I've got into a bit of a blue with a blocking op. I've told him that a) he is not the law nor the last word and that b) if he blocks me again for something that was so clearly an accident I will be laying a complaint against him. He wouldn't have a leg to stand on if he decided to block me for that comment would he?
2008-04-19 04:55 < mavhc> now that's assuming good faith
2008-04-19 04:55 < The359> what leg do you have to stand on?
2008-04-19 04:56 < Bacta> that I haven't done anything wrong in terms of the encyclopedia
2008-04-19 04:56 < The359> threatening people wont get you much sympathy
2008-04-19 04:56 < The359> you must have done something wrong
2008-04-19 04:56 < Bacta> oh he's going on about something that happened last year
2008-04-19 04:56 < Bacta> which has since been resolved
2008-04-19 04:57 < The359> if you believe he's done wrong, why wouldn't you make a complaint now?
2008-04-19 04:57 < The359> or is running to us that complaint?
2008-04-19 04:57 < Bacta> no
2008-04-19 04:57 < The359> ok, then back to the first question
2008-04-19 04:57 < The359> if you feel your block is wrong, why wait to complain until after he blocks you again?
2008-04-19 04:57 < Rockfang> The359, thanks for the link btw
2008-04-19 04:57 < Bacta> he admitted it was an accident but I seriously have a problem when someone vets all of my edits and with a sword slashes them to pieces
2008-04-19 04:58 < Bacta> any good admin would at least flag something for further citation and leave the regular contributors to bash it out
2008-04-19 04:58 < The359> then it seems resolved
2008-04-19 04:58 < The359> admins don't block users for adding unsourced information
2008-04-19 04:58 < The359> Unless it is of an insulting or trolling tone
2008-04-19 04:58 < Bacta> he just follows me around and deletes anything he doesn't agree with
2008-04-19 04:59 < The359> or they've been previously warned
2008-04-19 04:59 < Bacta> seems as if he is a biased editor with some sort of vendetta against me
2008-04-19 04:59 < The359> doesn't agree with or doesn't belong because, as you say, it's uncited?
2008-04-19 05:00 < Bacta> someone talked about how an auction site runs a messageboard which has a lot of flaming
2008-04-19 05:00 < The359> someone?
2008-04-19 05:00 < Bacta> that in itself is uncited ... i added a bit about the boards demographics
2008-04-19 05:00 < Bacta> he deleted it and said it was a rumour
2008-04-19 05:00 < The359> sounds like a lot of original research
2008-04-19 05:00 < Bacta> the word rumour in itself suggests bias
2008-04-19 05:01 < The359> uh, no?
2008-04-19 05:01 < Bacta> it's like "I don't agree with that. It's just a rumour. Slash!"
2008-04-19 05:01 < The359> That's quite presumptious
2008-04-19 05:01 * The359 knows rumors about plenty of things I do agree with
2008-04-19 05:02 < The359> Anything that's uncited is, quite frankly, a rumor
2008-04-19 05:03 < Bacta> now I've gone and written a few articles on local body politics. I'm afraid that these are going to be slashed to pieces
2008-04-19 05:03 < The359> Do they contain original research?
2008-04-19 05:03 < Bacta> no
2008-04-19 05:03 < Bacta> they contain well known information
2008-04-19 05:03 < The359> well known by whom?
2008-04-19 05:03 < The359> you?
2008-04-19 05:03 < Bacta> CHCH residents
2008-04-19 05:04 < The359> that's quite an assumption
2008-04-19 05:04 < The359> Which is, again, original research]
2008-04-19 05:04 < The359> what is one of these articles?
2008-04-19 05:04 < Bacta> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brendon_Burns_(politician)
2008-04-19 05:05 < Bacta> since it pertains to the 2008 general election I've left it as a stub for others to build upon
2008-04-19 05:05 < Bacta> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Albans%2C_New_Zealand
2008-04-19 05:05 < The359> I'd delete it
2008-04-19 05:05 < Bacta> this one I expanded and updated
2008-04-19 05:05 < Bacta> why would you?
2008-04-19 05:06 < The359> No citations, very short, non notable candidate
2008-04-19 05:06 < Bacta> he is a notable candidate
2008-04-19 05:06 < The359> We don't go on your word
2008-04-19 05:06 < The359> Without citations
2008-04-19 05:06 < The359> There is no way to establish notability
2008-04-19 05:06 < Bacta> brendonburns.co.nz
2008-04-19 05:06 < The359> that's not a citation
2008-04-19 05:07 < Bacta> I'm probably going to have to externally link a few sources in I think
2008-04-19 05:08 < The359> brendonburns.co.nz does not establish notability
2008-04-19 05:08 < The359> please read [[WP:NOTABILITY]]
2008-04-19 05:08 < Bacta> it establishes that he is the 2008 candidate for Christchurch Central
2008-04-19 05:08 < The359> Being a candidate doesn't make one notable
2008-04-19 05:08 < The359> we don't have articles on every local candidate for every local election
2008-04-19 05:08 < Bacta> this is the other candidate
2008-04-19 05:08 < Bacta> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicky_Wagner
2008-04-19 05:08 < Bacta> she has an article
2008-04-19 05:09 < Bacta> however she has never been elected
2008-04-19 05:09 < The359> "Other stuff exists" does not make your article notable
2008-04-19 05:09 < The359> She also appears to be notable for things other than being a candidate
2008-04-19 05:10 < Bacta> being on a community board does not make someone notable
2008-04-19 05:10 < The359> You clearly didn't read the whole article
2008-04-19 05:10 < Bacta> if it did there would be thousands of new articles over night
2008-04-19 05:12 < The359> she quite frankly just skims past notability
2008-04-19 05:12 < The359> your article, as it stands, does not
2008-04-19 05:13 < Bacta> a politician in a safe seat would be notable in my opinion
2008-04-19 05:13 < The359> that's your opinion
2008-04-19 05:13 < The359> others would disagree
2008-04-19 05:13 < Bacta> especially if that politician has in the past been an established journalist, spin doctor and qantas award winner
2008-04-19 05:13 < The359> None of which is mentioned anywhere
2008-04-19 05:14 < Bacta> I could cite his CV but is that considered acceptable?
2008-04-19 05:14 < The359> no
2008-04-19 05:15 < mavhc> he's only notable if you don't live where he's running
2008-04-19 05:15 < Bacta> i don't actually
2008-04-19 05:16 < Bacta> but that doesn't mean a thing
2008-04-19 05:16 < The359> "Some members jokingly refer to the messageboards as "National HQ" in reference to the disproportionate number of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Zealand_National_Party New Zealand National Party] supporters who congregate there."
2008-04-19 05:16 < The359> Please tell me you can grasp that that is Original Research
2008-04-19 05:19 < The359> "Affectionately would've been a better word but the fact you reverted my edit suggests you have something personal against me to the point where I am on your watch list."
2008-04-19 05:19 < The359> Bacta
2008-04-19 05:19 < The359> an administrator reverting your original research edits which do not add to the encyclopedic nature of the article
2008-04-19 05:19 < The359> Is not "something personal against you"
2008-04-19 05:19 < The359> I see nothing wrong with gadfium's reversion of your edits
2008-04-19 05:19 < The359> and I think your threats to him are uncalled for
2008-04-19 05:20 < Bacta> and his blocking was?
2008-04-19 05:20 < The359> Yes, it was
2008-04-19 05:20 < Bacta> oh how?
2008-04-19 05:20 < The359> You were warned the last time you were unblocked
2008-04-19 05:20 < Bacta> how was that not accidental?
2008-04-19 05:20 < The359> and as Gadfium says, it appears you are not listening to that warning
2008-04-19 05:21 < The359> you said only one edit was accidental
2008-04-19 05:21 < The359> the other edits were not
2008-04-19 05:22 < The359> you were attempting to insert original research, which was reverted, and now you think the admin has a personal grudge against you because your incorrect edits were reverted
2008-04-19 05:22 < Bacta> no he blocked me for something different
2008-04-19 05:23 < The359> he blocked you for general trolling after you had been warned during your last unblock
2008-04-19 05:23 < Bacta> i accidentally replaced one page with another
2008-04-19 05:23 < The359> for adding "joke" material to an article
2008-04-19 05:23 < The359> and removing the entire text of another
2008-04-19 05:23 < Bacta> why wouldd I do that on purpose?
2008-04-19 05:24 < Bacta> and why would he unblock me if he didn't think it was accidental hmmmm?
2008-04-19 05:24 < The359> why does anyone blank pages on purpose?
2008-04-19 05:24 < The359> To troll
2008-04-19 05:24 < Bacta> I didn't blank any page
2008-04-19 05:24 < Bacta> you have no understanding of the issue at hand
2008-04-19 05:24 < The359> yes, I do, you aren't listening
2008-04-19 05:24 < Bacta> no you have no understanding
2008-04-19 05:24 < The359> Your very first edit in April was to completely remove the text of one article and replace it with another
2008-04-19 05:25 < Bacta> why did he unblock me?
2008-04-19 05:25 < The359> After you had already been blocked before
2008-04-19 05:25 < The359> If that doesn't send a signal of "he's trolling again", I don't know what is
2008-04-19 05:25 < Bacta> and why did an op who has blocked me before request the unblock?
2008-04-19 05:25 < The359> you were blocked because you did a troll-ish thing
2008-04-19 05:25 < The359> even if it was an accident
2008-04-19 05:25 < The359> He was correct in his judgement that you were trolling
2008-04-19 05:26 < Bacta> trolling implies purpose
2008-04-19 05:26 < The359> Considering your history
2008-04-19 05:26 < Bacta> why was i unblocked?
2008-04-19 05:26 < Bacta> and why was it requested by someone who had blocked me before?
2008-04-19 05:26 < The359> You were unblocked because other users were able to establish it as a mistake
2008-04-19 05:26 < The359> and you were given the benefit of the doubt
2008-04-19 05:26 < Bacta> and you said i was trolling
2008-04-19 05:26 < Bacta> what would one gain out of replacing one page with another?
2008-04-19 05:26 < The359> you were from what people saw at first
2008-04-19 05:27 < The359> Who the fuck gains anything out of trolling?
2008-04-19 05:27 < The359> it's simple
2008-04-19 05:27 < Bacta> and further why would I come here one minute after the replace and ask someone to help me fix it up?
2008-04-19 05:27 < The359> You looked like you were trolling
2008-04-19 05:27 < The359> People who troll, do that sort of shit
2008-04-19 05:27 < The359> Hence, you looked like a troll
2008-04-19 05:27 < Bacta> don't swear
2008-04-19 05:27 < The359> I can swear
2008-04-19 05:28 < The359> You were unblocked because people are giving you the benefit of the doubt that it was an error
2008-04-19 05:28 < Bacta> well then block me again
2008-04-19 05:29 < The359> ...
2008-04-19 05:29 < The359> why
2008-04-19 05:29 < Bacta> and here are the channel guidelines for your reference:http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/IRC_guidelines/wikipedia
2008-04-19 05:30 < The359> "This page is not an official Wikimedia policy."
2008-04-19 05:31 < The359> nothing forbidding cursing either
2008-04-19 05:31 < Bacta> is this the kind of language acceptable in your place of work?
2008-04-19 05:31 < The359> so anyway
2008-04-19 05:31 < Bacta> are you a lumberjack?
2008-04-19 05:31 < The359> Are you going to stick to the subject?
2008-04-19 05:32 < The359> You were blocked because 1) Your past and 2) your edit appears similar to what other trolls attempt to do
2008-04-19 05:32 < The359> You were unblocked because you convinced others that your edit was a mistake
2008-04-19 05:33 < The359> That's the end of it. Gadfium was correct to block what he thought was someone breaking their warning and trolling
2008-04-19 05:33 < Bacta> you said I was a troll
2008-04-19 05:33 < The359> and when it was realized to be an error, it was fixed
2008-04-19 05:33 < The359> are you reading what I am saying?
2008-04-19 05:33 < Bacta> labeling someone as a troll implies doing something deliberately
2008-04-19 05:34 < The359> considering this is the internet, and there is no way to imply anything about deliberate or accident when editing a Wikipedia page
2008-04-19 05:34 < The359> the admin went off of your past blocks to see that you had been a troll before
2008-04-19 05:34 < The359> and therefore assumed you were being a troll now
2008-04-19 05:34 < The359> this is pretty simple
2008-04-19 05:35 < Bacta> the admin did not apply common sense to the situation and therefore his block was reversed
2008-04-19 05:35 < The359> No, common sense is that you're trolling
2008-04-19 05:35 < Krimpet> ok, that's enough :/ take it to PM you two want to continue, please
2008-04-19 05:35 < The359> In fact the admin who requested your unblock, even admitted that you had a past of claiming you were going to do better, and breaking it
2008-04-19 05:35 < The359> So common sense was that you were breaking it again
2008-04-19 05:36 < The359> no one else is talking, Krimpet?
2008-04-19 05:36 < Bacta> no I'm tired of your bs 359. Take it to PM
2008-04-19 05:36 < The359> ...
2008-04-19 05:36 < The359> that doesn't even make sense
2008-04-19 05:36 < Krimpet> The359: kinda hard to start a new conversation in the middle of an argument...
2008-04-19 05:37 < The359> you seem to be having no problem
2008-04-19 05:38 < Krimpet> ...just take it somewhere else if you need to argue, The359.
2008-04-19 05:39 < The359> I'm done with it, he's not going to get it. The admin did his job and threatening him wont help, Bacta.
2008-04-19 05:39 < The359> And one last thing, don't removed tags which say your articles are unreferenced when you haven't bothered to add any references
2008-04-19 05:39 < The359> Such as this http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Brendon_Burns_%28politician%29&diff=prev&oldid=206659587
2008-04-19 05:39 < Bacta> take your stalking elsewhere. I'm done with you
2008-04-19 05:40 < Netsniper> i wish i had a stalker
2008-04-19 05:40 < The359> ...
2008-04-19 05:40 < The359> your edits are viewable to everyone, Bacta
2008-04-19 05:40 < SynergeticMag> i wish i had a cig...
2008-04-19 05:40 < The359> don't accuse people of stalking when you linked to the article yourself
2008-04-19 05:40 * Netsniper gives SynergeticMag a cig
2008-04-19 05:40 * SynergeticMag begins smoking after breif pause
2008-04-19 05:41 < SynergeticMag> or brief, if your not german
2008-04-19 05:41 < SynergeticMag> stalkers are nice to have around
2008-04-19 05:41 < SynergeticMag> like when you get depressed
2008-04-19 05:41 < Netsniper> yeah
2008-04-19 05:42 < SynergeticMag> this isn't as good as a real cig
2008-04-19 05:43 < Netsniper> :/
2008-04-19 05:43 < Netsniper> internet stalkers aren't as good as irl ones either :/
2008-04-19 05:44 < mavhc> SynergeticMag: it's better for you though, it only makes you look retarded, rather than actually being retarded
2008-04-19 05:44 < The359> Real ones can kill you though
2008-04-19 05:44 < SynergeticMag> well i like looking retarted, thank you
2008-04-19 05:44 < Netsniper> ha
2008-04-19 05:44 < SynergeticMag> typo not intended
2008-04-19 05:44 < Bacta> I've got several stalkers
2008-04-19 05:44 < Bacta> but thats because I'm sexiii!
2008-04-19 05:45 < SynergeticMag> that poses a conflict i can't get around the359
2008-04-19 05:45 < SynergeticMag> why would you kill the person you stalk?
2008-04-19 05:45 < SynergeticMag> you wouldn't be able to stalk them anymore
2008-04-19 05:45 < The359> to prevent anyone else from having them
2008-04-19 05:46 < Netsniper> yeah, stalkers don't compute the whole cost/benefit thing very well
2008-04-19 05:46 < SynergeticMag> what about necrophiliacs?
2008-04-19 05:46 < The359> what about them?
2008-04-19 05:46 < SynergeticMag> and why stop there? why not for the sake of maggots?
2008-04-19 05:46 < SynergeticMag> :)
2008-04-19 05:47 < SynergeticMag> they get to have the stalkee (sp?)
2008-04-19 05:47 < SynergeticMag> ok i've debased the conversation again i see
2008-04-19 05:48 < Netsniper> no, i was still contemplating your ideas
2008-04-19 05:48 < SynergeticMag> well its something to think about i suppose
2008-04-19 05:49 < SynergeticMag> but then again i can answer my own question and just assume that all stalkers have only one thing on their mind
2008-04-19 05:49 < SynergeticMag> and thats their intended goal
2008-04-19 05:50 < SynergeticMag> unless their insane and can rationalize
2008-04-19 05:50 < SynergeticMag> in which case i'm talking to myself again
2008-04-19 05:50 < The359> kill him
2008-04-19 05:51 < SynergeticMag> i would if i knew who he was
2008-04-19 05:51 < mavhc> sex or death?
2008-04-19 05:51 * SynergeticMag isn't touching that one
2008-04-19 05:52 * SynergeticMag decides to kill him and eat him
2008-04-19 05:52 < SynergeticMag> these teddy grahams are great
2008-04-19 05:53 < SynergeticMag> cute little bear cub shapes
2008-04-19 05:53 < Netsniper> howdy mike
2008-04-19 05:53 < mavhc> bears aren't cute, ask colbert
2008-04-19 05:54 < Netsniper> dropbears
2008-04-19 05:54 < SynergeticMag> mavhc: you sound like a guy i know
2008-04-19 05:54 < SynergeticMag> he won't let that bear crap go
2008-04-19 05:54 < Netsniper> they leap on you, claw out your eyeballs and eat your brains before you hit the ground
2008-04-19 05:54 < SynergeticMag> even brings it up at check out lines and gets weird looks
2008-04-19 05:55 < SynergeticMag> from old ladies
2008-04-19 05:55 < SynergeticMag> and young ladies
2008-04-19 05:55 < Netsniper> and midgets
2008-04-19 05:55 < SynergeticMag> no, midgets can't hear him
2008-04-19 05:55 < Netsniper> ah
2008-04-19 05:55 < SynergeticMag> hes tall
2008-04-19 05:56 < SynergeticMag> and hairy
2008-04-19 05:56 < Netsniper> elevators smell different to midgets
2008-04-19 05:56 < SynergeticMag> has claws
2008-04-19 05:56 < SynergeticMag> Netsniper: now thats just downright mean
2008-04-19 05:57 < Netsniper> i'm sorry
2008-04-19 05:58 < SynergeticMag> why do people insist on bringing any little ol thing to ANI?
2008-04-19 06:00 < Netsniper> Automatic Number Identification?
2008-04-19 06:00 < The359> heh
2008-04-19 06:00 < The359> Ford is considering banning "Take Your Child to Work Day" at their design studios
2008-04-19 06:01 < The359> Because people keep sneaking camera phones and taking pictures of their future car designs
2008-04-19 06:01 < The359> and leaking them on the internet
2008-04-19 06:02 < Netsniper> we need another earthquake already
2008-04-19 06:02 < Netsniper> this is boring
2008-04-19 06:02 < Netsniper> it's like i sit here .. hour after hour .. earthquake not happening yet
2008-04-19 06:02 < The359> figures there's a midwest earthquake when I'm no longer living there
2008-04-19 06:02 < Netsniper> *sigh*
2008-04-19 06:03 < Netsniper> that was the biggest earthquake i have participated in
2008-04-19 06:04 < Netsniper> apparently the bigger ones can bounce you along the ground
2008-04-19 06:04 < Netsniper> that sounds fun
2008-04-19 06:05 < The359> until the roof falls and crushes you
2008-04-19 06:05 < Netsniper> oops
2008-04-19 06:06 < arcimboldo_> Having been in Tokyo for > 2 years I'm still waiting for something heavier than 20 seconds of shaking.
2008-04-19 06:06 < SynergeticMag> no that was admin noticeboards/incidents (ANI --> WP:ANI)
2008-04-19 06:06 < SynergeticMag> btw
2008-04-19 06:06 < The359> you're late
2008-04-19 06:06 < SynergeticMag> by how long?
2008-04-19 06:06 < Netsniper> i haven't heard of any explination as to why eastern US earthquakes are felt over greater distances vs. western US ones
2008-04-19 06:07 < SynergeticMag> because of fat people
2008-04-19 06:07 < SynergeticMag> its like....
2008-04-19 06:07 < SynergeticMag> an echo
2008-04-19 06:07 < The359> the consistancy of the ground, Netsniper?
2008-04-19 06:07 < bumm13> could be shallower
2008-04-19 06:07 < The359> the Midwest has a lot of clay
2008-04-19 06:07 < bumm13> in the Northwest U.S., earthquakes don't happen as often as, say, California, but are deeper in the earth
2008-04-19 06:08 < bumm13> (due to subduction, IIRC)
2008-04-19 06:08 < The359> that too
2008-04-19 06:08 < The359> the fact that the faults are of different types probably plays into it as well
2008-04-19 06:08 < Netsniper> alaska is as active as california
2008-04-19 06:08 < The359> I think?
2008-04-19 06:09 < bumm13> it probably is
2008-04-19 06:09 < bumm13> Alaska is also huge :)
2008-04-19 06:13 < Netsniper> the clay is only a few hundred feet thick at most
2008-04-19 06:14 < Netsniper> when dealing with an earthquake a few miles deep, i doubt it plays a significant role
2008-04-19 06:15 < Netsniper> http://earthquake.usgs.gov/learning/facts.php this says it's due to "crustal structure"
2008-04-19 06:16 * SynergeticMag just woke up
2008-04-19 06:19 < Netsniper> clay is a great shock absorber
2008-04-19 06:20 < Bacta> "Has made unique contributions to a specific pornographic genre, such as beginning a trend in pornography, or starring in an iconic, groundbreaking or blockbuster feature."
2008-04-19 06:20 < Bacta> porn has blockbusters?
2008-04-19 06:21 < The359> Debbie Does Dallas
2008-04-19 06:22 < SynergeticMag> Bacta: sure
2008-04-19 06:22 < Bacta> I thought I had stopped everyone talking :P thanks Syn lol
2008-04-19 06:22 < Bacta> but name one :P
2008-04-19 06:27 < Netsniper> now that would be cool if some of those magma intrusions broke out and made a nice midwestern volcano http://quake.wr.usgs.gov/prepare/factsheets/HiddenHazs/ReelfootBig.gif
2008-04-19 06:42 < Mike_H> The name "Adolf" remains the most popular for newborn males throughout the Republic, according to data gathered from birth-rolls. The next most popular monikers are Purvius, Earsworth, Cadwalader and Ebenezer. As for the most popular girls' name, it remains, for the thirteenth year running, "Sugarbelle," which also leads the list of names given to mares.
2008-04-19 06:43 < arcimboldo_> Which Republic is that?
2008-04-19 06:51 < mavhc> the republic of no style or external media
2008-04-19 06:52 < Mike_H> arcimboldo_: The United States
2008-04-19 06:52 < Mike_H> it comes from The Onion's Our Dumb Century book
2008-04-19 06:52 < Mike_H> from 1902
2008-04-19 06:57 < skenmy> Probably old news, but still:
2008-04-19 06:57 < skenmy> http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=7517639963&ref=nf
2008-04-19 06:59 < Lycurgus> why would you assume a facebook account or the desire to use one?
2008-04-19 07:00 < Mike_H> skenmy: Oh, whatever
2008-04-19 07:00 < Mike_H> they're English people
2008-04-19 07:00 < Mike_H> they don't matter
2008-04-19 07:00 < skenmy> how very dare you
2008-04-19 07:00 < skenmy> :P
2008-04-19 07:01 < Mike_H> half of them probably got blocked because they type the way the Coronation Street people speak
2008-04-19 07:01 < Mike_H> I didn't know they could make my eyes bleed too!
2008-04-19 07:02 < Mike_H> skenmy: oh, my God, the atrocities against English are painful!
2008-04-19 07:02 < Mike_H> nowt!
2008-04-19 07:02 < Mike_H> innit!
2008-04-19 07:02 < Mike_H> arite?
2008-04-19 07:02 < skenmy> That's not english.
2008-04-19 07:02 < skenmy> That's Chav.
2008-04-19 07:02 < Mike_H> skenmy: Tell that to Sarah Platt and her cheeky friend Candice.
2008-04-19 07:03 < skenmy> They speak a dialect. We all speak different dialects.
2008-04-19 07:03 < skenmy> anyway, howtf did this turn into an English-bashing contest?
2008-04-19 07:04 < Mike_H> skenmy: Oh, I'm just bored and Coronation Street people are funny
2008-04-19 07:05 < bumm13> hiya Mike
2008-04-19 07:06 < Mike_H> hi bumm13
2008-04-19 07:06 < Mike_H> skenmy: It's okay, though
2008-04-19 07:06 < Mike_H> I still love you
2008-04-19 07:06 < Mike_H> unless you talk like Sarah and her friend Candice
2008-04-19 07:06 * skenmy weeps slightly
2008-04-19 07:06 < skenmy> I'm told I actually talk "posh" :p
2008-04-19 07:06 < skenmy> and not POsh Spice
2008-04-19 07:06 < skenmy> XD
2008-04-19 07:06 < Mike_H> My grandmother's from the North
2008-04-19 07:06 < Mike_H> I know what posh is
2008-04-19 07:06 < Mike_H> Posh would be like
2008-04-19 07:06 < Mike_H> Audrey Roberts
2008-04-19 07:07 < Mike_H> I can do a mean Deirdre Barlow impersonation, though
2008-04-19 07:07 < Mike_H> I've been BEGGED to stop
2008-04-19 07:07 < Mike_H> it was that good
2008-04-19 07:07 < Mike_H> "OH KEN! OH KEN!"
2008-04-19 07:08 < Mike_H> and I'll have her voice down-pat if I smoke a pack a day for...
2008-04-19 07:08 < Mike_H> 448 more years!
2008-04-19 07:31 < nadis> i'm wandering whether native speakers use extra input soft

2008-04-19 09:14 < NotASpy> ST47: it doesn't look like an image was ever uploaded, rather, someone created the page as you would a new article - like this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:This_page_does_not_exist.jpg
2008-04-19 09:14 < ST47> NotASpy: look at the upload log
