2008-05-01 13:55 < Lycurgus> for example they only have a couple hundred nuclear warheads
2008-05-01 13:55 < ThePolecat> It wasn't politically feasible though
2008-05-01 13:55 < Shiroi_Neko> ThePolecat what german planes?
2008-05-01 13:55 < Demi> one wonders if strategic bombers aren't dinosaurs already
2008-05-01 13:55 < Lycurgus> compared to thousands for russia and us
2008-05-01 13:55 < ThePolecat> I don't know.
2008-05-01 13:55 < Demi> all aircraft probably will be within a generation
2008-05-01 13:55 < Shiroi_Neko> After WW2 germany haad no military
2008-05-01 13:55 < ThePolecat> Starfighters and shit
2008-05-01 13:55 < Shiroi_Neko> was entirely under allied occupation for quite a while
2008-05-01 13:55 < Lycurgus> but they can credibly deliver them
2008-05-01 13:55 < ThePolecat> Until 1955, yes.
2008-05-01 13:56 < Shiroi_Neko> after the development of ICBMs there was no longer a need for aircraft to deliver nukes
2008-05-01 13:56 < Working_Cat> Lycurgus: couple hundred = pretty hell lot
2008-05-01 13:56 < ThePolecat> but plans for a military were in the drawers before that
2008-05-01 13:56 < HolySheepy> little Question, is it possible to have Different numeration of the Contents thing? like instead of 1. Meh 2. Blub it should be § 1. Meh $ 2. blub
2008-05-01 13:56 < Working_Cat> Shiroi_Neko: but you still need them for conventional bombs
2008-05-01 13:56 < Shiroi_Neko> like the CNN commercial, all it takes is the touch of a button
2008-05-01 13:56 < Shiroi_Neko> Working_Cat right
2008-05-01 13:56 < Shiroi_Neko> and that isnt a problem
2008-05-01 13:57 < Shiroi_Neko> german aircraft have very little payload
2008-05-01 13:57 < Shiroi_Neko> germany or japan probably would have a very hard time attaacking
2008-05-01 13:57 < HolySheepy> and is it possible to have different Captions for the Contents Part and the Actual Wiki Article? like in the Articles its § 1 Blub but in the Contents part it should only be 1. Blub and not 1. § 1 Blub
2008-05-01 13:57 < Demi> ICBMs don't replace bombers completely, even for nuclear delivery. ICBMs and cruise missiles come closer
2008-05-01 13:57 < Shiroi_Neko> Demi no
2008-05-01 13:57 < Shiroi_Neko> but we dont need nuke armed bombers on standby anymore
2008-05-01 13:58 < Demi> we still have them, however
2008-05-01 13:58 < Shiroi_Neko> we can anhaliate the planet without effort
2008-05-01 13:58 < Shiroi_Neko> sure
2008-05-01 13:58 < Shiroi_Neko> b2s can cary nukes
2008-05-01 13:58 < Shiroi_Neko> but they dont
2008-05-01 13:58 < Shiroi_Neko> a nuke can be carried by nearly any aircraft
2008-05-01 13:58 < Demi> they may not, but they aren't the u.s.'s only bomber
2008-05-01 13:58 < Demi> how many of them are there? 5?
2008-05-01 13:59 < OverlordQ> 5 what?
2008-05-01 13:59 < Shiroi_Neko> Demi US has far too many
2008-05-01 13:59 < Demi> the united states is still at a high level of nuclear readiness
2008-05-01 13:59 < Shiroi_Neko> Demi yes
2008-05-01 13:59 < Shiroi_Neko> but delivery via ICBMs is better
2008-05-01 13:59 < Demi> how many flying B-2s are there?
2008-05-01 13:59 < Demi> Shiroi_Neko - it's not an either/or
2008-05-01 13:59 < Shiroi_Neko> Demi thaats classified
2008-05-01 13:59 < Demi> I SAY 5
2008-05-01 14:00 < OverlordQ> according to WP 20 active </grainsalt>
2008-05-01 14:00 < Shiroi_Neko> I know it is way more than that
2008-05-01 14:00 < Shiroi_Neko> Demi there are b2s on the east coast
2008-05-01 14:00 < Shiroi_Neko> west coast
2008-05-01 14:00 < Shiroi_Neko> korea
2008-05-01 14:00 < Shiroi_Neko> uk
2008-05-01 14:00 < Shiroi_Neko> and around iraq
2008-05-01 14:00 < Demi> yep, you just name 5 places!
2008-05-01 14:00 < Shiroi_Neko> probably kuwait or saudi arabia
2008-05-01 14:00 < Shiroi_Neko> Demi and they have more than 1 in those places
2008-05-01 14:01 < ThePolecat> We know where the B2's are. They're in the north, south, east and west of Iraq.
2008-05-01 14:01 < Shiroi_Neko> east of iraq is iran
2008-05-01 14:01 < Shiroi_Neko> west of iraq is syria
2008-05-01 14:01 < Shiroi_Neko> north is turkey
2008-05-01 14:01 < Shiroi_Neko> all 3 cannot support b2s
2008-05-01 14:01 < ThePolecat> south is Kuqait.
2008-05-01 14:01 < ThePolecat> *w
2008-05-01 14:01 < Shiroi_Neko> Kuwait has a large US base
2008-05-01 14:02 < ThePolecat> ummm... Qasr? :-P
2008-05-01 14:02 < Shiroi_Neko> Demi in reality I believe US robably has 40 of those craft
2008-05-01 14:02 < Shiroi_Neko> 2 wings (8) should be deplyed to iraq
2008-05-01 14:02 < Shiroi_Neko> 1 wing to UK
2008-05-01 14:03 < Shiroi_Neko> 1 wing to western US and 1 wing to eastern
2008-05-01 14:03 * ThePolecat wins at Risk by moving to Here Be Dragons
2008-05-01 14:03 < Shiroi_Neko> 4*5 = 20
2008-05-01 14:03 < Shiroi_Neko> and 20 is kept as replacements
2008-05-01 14:04 < Phoenixwi> Shiroi_Neko, why send 4 B2s to the UK?
2008-05-01 14:04 < Shiroi_Neko> Phoenixwi to bomb iraq
2008-05-01 14:04 < Phoenixwi> doesn'ty make sense..why not send em to kuwait?
2008-05-01 14:04 < Phoenixwi> iraq doesn't need bombing now anyway
2008-05-01 14:04 < Shiroi_Neko> because kuwait isnt exactly safe
2008-05-01 14:05 < Shiroi_Neko> Phoenixwi no but iran does
2008-05-01 14:05 < Phoenixwi> only insurgents who don't have proper bases
2008-05-01 14:05 < Shiroi_Neko> uk aircraft can even bomb korea
2008-05-01 14:05 < Phoenixwi> so they are unbombable
2008-05-01 14:05 < Phoenixwi> Iran doesn#t need bombing atm
2008-05-01 14:05 < Shiroi_Neko> Phoenixwi b2s act as a detterant right now
2008-05-01 14:05 < Shiroi_Neko> Phoenixwi when it does US will not wait a shipping
2008-05-01 14:05 < Phoenixwi> nukes should act as a detterent, not B2s
2008-05-01 14:06 < Phoenixwi> actually, I'd be more afraid of a wasp-class battleship than a nuke
2008-05-01 14:06 < yao_ziyuan> how can i not love my government... they sponsor the war on terror
2008-05-01 14:06 < Shiroi_Neko> Phoenixwi b2s can bomb you and return to base
2008-05-01 14:06 < Shiroi_Neko> and you wont know they were there
2008-05-01 14:06 < Shiroi_Neko> yao_ziyuan throw grenades at governmental offices
2008-05-01 14:06 < Shiroi_Neko> they will show their love towards you
2008-05-01 14:06 < Phoenixwi> A-10s can fly with only 1 wing and their bullets will hit you before you hear the sound. A single bullet from an A-10s cannon will destroy a tank
2008-05-01 14:07 < Phoenixwi> yao_ziyuan, where are you?
2008-05-01 14:07 < yao_ziyuan> china
2008-05-01 14:07 < Shiroi_Neko> Phoenixwi an A-10 is visible on a radar
2008-05-01 14:07 < Working_Cat> PRC
2008-05-01 14:07 < bbot> the A-10 is a CAS aircraft
2008-05-01 14:07 < bbot> it's only supposed to fly in uncontested airspace
2008-05-01 14:07 < Working_Cat> more like CrASs
2008-05-01 14:08 < Kerotan> Opinion wikipedia would be a great project, but luckly wikipedia isn't it.
2008-05-01 14:08 < Shiroi_Neko> A-10 is a flying truck
2008-05-01 14:08 < Phoenixwi> China doesn't sponsor the war on terror...unless you count that they make guns that terrorists use...but that doesn't really count because the US make stingers used by terrorists and they don'#t knowingly give them away
2008-05-01 14:08 < bbot> so there's no reason for it to be stealthed
2008-05-01 14:08 < Phoenixwi> A-10 can't fight other aircraft
2008-05-01 14:08 < Phoenixwi> but it's the best aircraft there is vs ground targets
2008-05-01 14:08 < yao_ziyuan> Phoenixwi: china lends money to the US
2008-05-01 14:08 < Shiroi_Neko> Phoenixwi US gives out arms to terrorists knowingly
2008-05-01 14:08 < Shiroi_Neko> US used terror against USSR
2008-05-01 14:08 < Shiroi_Neko> now thats merely backfiring
2008-05-01 14:09 < Shiroi_Neko> Phoenixwi sure it can
2008-05-01 14:09 < yao_ziyuan> Phoenixwi: or gives away
2008-05-01 14:09 < Phoenixwi> lol
2008-05-01 14:09 < Shiroi_Neko> against those ww1 plans
2008-05-01 14:09 < bbot> the Afghani proxy war wasn't terrorism
2008-05-01 14:09 < Phoenixwi> lol
2008-05-01 14:09 < Working_Cat> lol i cant believe how well those msgs lined up
2008-05-01 14:09 < bbot> , pal
2008-05-01 14:09 < Shiroi_Neko> bbot its the definition of terror
2008-05-01 14:09 < bbot> Shiroi_Neko: At which point did they attack civilians?
2008-05-01 14:09 < Shiroi_Neko> bbot what makes you think they didnt?
2008-05-01 14:09 < Kerotan> the afghan proxy war wasn't a terrorism at the time, its just rather unlucky that old allies are new enemies.
2008-05-01 14:09 < Shiroi_Neko> "colaborators" were attacked
2008-05-01 14:10 < Phoenixwi> A-10s will die to other planes, unless those cplanes are large bmbers/carriers/spectre gunships rather than fighters
2008-05-01 14:10 < Shiroi_Neko> and we all know terroist attaacks commited by chechen terrorists
2008-05-01 14:10 < Shiroi_Neko> spectre gunships will make short work of an a-10
2008-05-01 14:10 < bbot> Shiroi_Neko: Come on man. The chechens have nothing to do with Afghanistan
2008-05-01 14:10 < Shiroi_Neko> bbot no
2008-05-01 14:10 < Phoenixwi> bbot american troops killed civilians in Iraq and Afgahnistan
2008-05-01 14:10 < Shiroi_Neko> but they were the other people sponsored
2008-05-01 14:10 < Phoenixwi> it was unavoidable, it happens in war
2008-05-01 14:11 < Shiroi_Neko> a few nato countries sponosred them
2008-05-01 14:11 < Shiroi_Neko> Phoenixwi it is avoidable
2008-05-01 14:11 < Shiroi_Neko> by not invading :)
2008-05-01 14:11 < Phoenixwi> they thought they were enemies, accidentaly bomebtd their houses etc
2008-05-01 14:11 < Shiroi_Neko> Phoenixwi you do not accidentaly bomb someones house
2008-05-01 14:11 < Phoenixwi> you do
2008-05-01 14:11 < Phoenixwi> as in plane bombing
2008-05-01 14:11 < Shiroi_Neko> you do so based on wrong intel
2008-05-01 14:11 < Phoenixwi> it's very easy
2008-05-01 14:11 < Shiroi_Neko> huge difference
2008-05-01 14:12 < Shiroi_Neko> Phoenixwi how do you think US missle systems work?
2008-05-01 14:12 < NotASpy> Shiroi_Neko: what about wrong AMD ?
2008-05-01 14:12 < Shiroi_Neko> they have laser guided accuracy
2008-05-01 14:12 < Phoenixwi> no if you use a B2 most buildings adjacent to the structure you're bombing will also be damaged
2008-05-01 14:12 < Shiroi_Neko> Phoenixwi a cruse missle can destoy a building without damaging anything else
2008-05-01 14:12 < bbot> Shiroi_Neko: Not every firing mission uses laser guided munitions
2008-05-01 14:12 < Phoenixwi> a cruise missile can fly through a window and hit a specific person...
2008-05-01 14:12 < Shiroi_Neko> bbot no
2008-05-01 14:13 < Shiroi_Neko> Phoenixwi have you seen one coming inside your window?
2008-05-01 14:13 < bbot> We've taken out a bunch of civilian targets by accident when using GPS bombs
2008-05-01 14:13 < Phoenixwi> B2's bombs are nearly always dumb
2008-05-01 14:13 < Shiroi_Neko> you can open the opposing window and it will miss you
2008-05-01 14:13 < Shiroi_Neko> Phoenixwi you do not moab bomb baghdad
2008-05-01 14:14 < Shiroi_Neko> b2s typicaly carry guided missles
2008-05-01 14:14 < Phoenixwi> no but 500 - 200 lb bombs are generally unguided
2008-05-01 14:14 < Phoenixwi> no they never carry missiles
2008-05-01 14:14 < Phoenixwi> they carry bombs that can be guided
2008-05-01 14:14 < Shiroi_Neko> same deal
2008-05-01 14:14 < Phoenixwi> that don't have propulsion
2008-05-01 14:14 * Shiroi_Neko adds propultion to Phoenixwi's chair
2008-05-01 14:14 < bbot> propultion
2008-05-01 14:14 < NoPegs> gah! WikiWriterBlock! Why can't I ever improve stubs on my own... larger articles are a snap, but I can't come up with nice layouts and keep stuff coherent, instead of rambling... :(
2008-05-01 14:15 < Phoenixwi> missiles have propulsion, guided bombs generally have fins to be guided with, jdam usually
2008-05-01 14:15 < ThePolecat> What's worse here, the inflation of fact tags or some minor occasional speculation? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Cross#Culture
2008-05-01 14:15 < Phoenixwi> Shiroi_Neko, you couldn'#t just open the oposite window because it would just explode in mid air
2008-05-01 14:16 < Shiroi_Neko> Phoenixwi you have no sense of humor
2008-05-01 14:16 < Phoenixwi> no I don't
2008-05-01 14:17 < ThePolecat> Uh, I guess I take back that question then.
2008-05-01 14:17 < Phoenixwi> lol
2008-05-01 14:18 < Lycurgus> isn't it funny that although may day celebrates events that happened in the US it's not celebrated there
2008-05-01 14:18 < Phoenixwi> lol
2008-05-01 14:19 < Lycurgus> cuba and some other countries have huge parades (not for Beltane)
2008-05-01 14:19 < Phoenixwi> the USSR used to even during the cold war
2008-05-01 14:19 < ThePolecat> oh lord, "this year" is not something to put into WP articles
2008-05-01 14:19 * ThePolecat has May 1 off
2008-05-01 14:19 < Phoenixwi> no way
2008-05-01 14:20 < ThePolecat> or rather "has had" by now
2008-05-01 14:20 < Phoenixwi> where do you live?
2008-05-01 14:20 < Lycurgus> de
2008-05-01 14:20 < ThePolecat> Tshermany.

2008-05-01 14:21 < Phoenixwi> am I right?
2008-05-01 14:21 < ThePolecat> no
2008-05-01 14:21 < ThePolecat> 8:20
2008-05-01 14:21 < ThePolecat> but good enough :-)

2008-05-01 14:21 < Phoenixwi> yeah that's what I meant...lol I'm in GMT, thought it was 8pm for some reason
2008-05-01 14:21 < Phoenixwi> it's only 7
2008-05-01 14:21 * Phoenixwi should learn to tell the time
2008-05-01 14:22 < Phoenixwi> XD
2008-05-01 14:22 < Working_Cat> Phoenixwi: Temporal Phail
2008-05-01 14:22 < ThePolecat> it's getting dim here, I guess I'm a-gonna go out to get some phewd
2008-05-01 14:22 < Phoenixwi> btw, does anyone here play ikariam?
2008-05-01 14:22 < Working_Cat> ThePolecat: what ya getting? Kosher Soylent Green?
2008-05-01 14:23 < ThePolecat> no, halal pork stew.
2008-05-01 14:23 < ThePolecat> :-P
2008-05-01 14:23 < Working_Cat> lol
2008-05-01 14:23 < bumm13> high falutin'!
2008-05-01 14:23 < Working_Cat> i like the concept of halal port
2008-05-01 14:23 < Working_Cat> pork

2008-05-01 14:23 < ThePolecat> brb
2008-05-01 14:23 < bbot> I also like the idea of a halal interface standard
2008-05-01 14:23 < bbot> For attaching your halal printer to your halal computer
2008-05-01 14:24 < ThePolecat> yay for Non-Pork Protocol
2008-05-01 14:24 < ThePolecat> My computer creates energy by dipping meat into milk.
2008-05-01 14:24 * Phoenixwi thinks iot's time for a random quote
2008-05-01 14:24 < Phoenixwi> missiles have propulsion, guided bombs generally have fins to be guided with, jdam usually
2008-05-01 14:24 < Phoenixwi> :-)
2008-05-01 14:25 < ThePolecat> But that's for later

2008-05-01 14:37 < Rinn> I thought it was "dyslexics of the world, UNTIE!"
2008-05-01 14:37 * Working_Cat wonders if he is eligible for {{the surreal barnstar}} for his contributions on #wikipedia
2008-05-01 14:38 < Mahlzahn> you are presuming I can spell dyslexics correctly.
2008-05-01 14:39 < Working_Cat> Mahlzahn: you are right on both counts. and are thus expelled from the dyslexia cottunimy
2008-05-01 14:40 < Ral315> Bah, Mike's not active.
2008-05-01 14:40 < Working_Cat> Ral315!!
2008-05-01 14:41 < Ral315> "I Will Survive" came up in my shuffle playlist, and I thought he'd be the only one to appreciate that for the greatness that it is.
2008-05-01 14:41 < Ral315> Hello.
2008-05-01 14:41 < Ral315> Working_Cat, forgive me if I have no idea who the hell you are.

2008-05-01 14:44 < Ral315> "Ceiling_Cat always lets us know what he/she's doing: 392 actions!"

2008-05-01 14:44 < bumm13> "bumm13, Are you calling me a tree?"
2008-05-01 14:45 < Ral315> Cyrius' quote is great: ""Believe it or don't, turtles are horrifically well-endowed...""
2008-05-01 14:46 < bumm13> heh
2008-05-01 14:47 < Working_Cat> and apparently theres a nick "Have"
2008-05-01 14:47 < Mahlzahn> Urgh, Phoenixwi actually nicked my msg! Dang bird.
2008-05-01 14:48 * Mahlzahn is going to set him on fire when he comes back
2008-05-01 14:48 < Working_Cat> whatdidhedo
2008-05-01 14:48 * soufron hello
2008-05-01 14:48 < Mahlzahn> Working_Cat: /Phoenixwi has left freenode ("Bad spellers of the world, UNTIE!")/
2008-05-01 14:48 < Demi> oh, that's being updated again? i shudder to think....
2008-05-01 14:48 * Working_Cat knows. he saw that.
2008-05-01 14:48 < Working_Cat> Demi: what
2008-05-01 14:48 < bumm13> hiya Demi
2008-05-01 14:49 < Mahlzahn> ave Demi
2008-05-01 14:49 < Demi> hi bumm13, Mahlzahn
2008-05-01 14:50 < Mahlzahn> so, how did the interview pan out?
2008-05-01 14:51 < Demi> haha, which? i've administered two, and interviewed for a job myself once, in the past day
2008-05-01 14:51 < Mahlzahn> oof.
2008-05-01 14:51 < Mahlzahn> all three then. :)
2008-05-01 14:51 < bbot> I finally figured out what was wrong with my knife
2008-05-01 14:51 < Mahlzahn> bbot: it has tines?
2008-05-01 14:52 < bbot> turns out I overtorsioned the threads, and completely fucked them up
2008-05-01 14:52 < bbot> total loss, unrecoverable
2008-05-01 14:52 < bbot> looks like I get to buy new ones
2008-05-01 14:52 < Demi> the person yesterday was fine, maybe somewhat lacking in passion and imagination (but this is hard to establish in interviews); the person i interviewed today--really, phone-screened, sounded pretty good, i'm recommending home. My own, i think it went okay, we'll see.
2008-05-01 14:52 < bbot> (grip panels) that is
2008-05-01 14:52 < Ningyou> would "Eine deutsche soldat entschuldigen sich nicht" be correct or incorrect? I know atleast one of you can speak german :P
2008-05-01 14:52 < Mahlzahn> Ningyou: incorrect
2008-05-01 14:53 < Ningyou> correct would be?
2008-05-01 14:53 < Mahlzahn> depends on what is it you actually want to say
2008-05-01 14:53 < Ningyou> errr, A german soldier doesn't excuse himself or something similar
2008-05-01 14:53 < Mahlzahn> a g. soldier doesn't apologize?
2008-05-01 14:53 < Ningyou> yeah
2008-05-01 14:54 < Mahlzahn> ah: Ein deutscher Soldat entschuldigt sich nicht.
2008-05-01 14:54 < Ningyou> ah, yeah, cool
2008-05-01 14:54 < bbot> oh, german. such a wacky language.
2008-05-01 14:54 < Ningyou> it's been too long since I used german, I've forgotten everything :D
2008-05-01 14:54 < Mahlzahn> bbot: extraordinarily cool language once one gets the hang of it.
2008-05-01 14:54 < Demi> ThePolecat is a genuine german.
2008-05-01 14:55 < Mahlzahn> so am I fwiw.
2008-05-01 14:55 < bumm13> a genuine German shepherd
2008-05-01 14:55 < Demi> i took four years of german and can remember exactly squat.
2008-05-01 14:55 < Ningyou> well if I had ever used german, I'd probably like it
2008-05-01 14:55 < Ningyou> but I ended up speaking english with the germans I met, so... :P
2008-05-01 14:55 < Mahlzahn> yeah.
2008-05-01 14:56 < Mahlzahn> the wierdest discussion I ever had with germans was in English
2008-05-01 14:56 < Mahlzahn> we were stuck in the immigration queue at Bombay airport.
2008-05-01 14:57 < Mahlzahn> and we bitched about the Indian bureaucracy
2008-05-01 14:58 < Ningyou> sounds interesting :P
2008-05-01 14:58 < Mahlzahn> ah. those were good times. :)
2008-05-01 14:58 < Mahlzahn> Ningyou: the point is that the German bureaucrats are infinitely worse
2008-05-01 14:58 * Working_Cat glares at Mahlzahn
2008-05-01 14:58 < Working_Cat> oh ok fine.
2008-05-01 14:59 < Ningyou> but aren't germans quite fond of bureaucracy? :P I'm working in a company that wholesales plenty of german products and we have constantly problems with them :D
2008-05-01 14:59 < Mahlzahn> see
2008-05-01 14:59 < Ningyou> :P
2008-05-01 14:59 < bbot> yeah, it sucks to have constantly problems
2008-05-01 14:59 < Working_Cat> Mahlzahn: how did you get stranded at bombay airport of all places
2008-05-01 14:59 < Working_Cat> bbot: bad kitty
2008-05-01 15:00 < bbot> :D
2008-05-01 15:00 < Mahlzahn> My BA flight from Singapore had to do an emergency landing
2008-05-01 15:00 < Working_Cat> hmm
2008-05-01 15:01 < Working_Cat> airport officials made you dance to indian music?
2008-05-01 15:01 < Mahlzahn> so we all had to spend the night in Bbay. And none of us had visas
2008-05-01 15:01 * str4nd ed
2008-05-01 15:01 < Working_Cat> str4nd: lol
2008-05-01 15:01 < str4nd> :)
2008-05-01 15:01 < Working_Cat> how long did you wait to make that joke?
2008-05-01 15:02 < Demi> india is sort of famous for its bureaucracy, "The British introduced bureaucracy to India, it took Indians to perfect it."
2008-05-01 15:02 < str4nd> Working_Cat: too long
2008-05-01 15:02 < str4nd> that hilighted
2008-05-01 15:02 * Working_Cat snickers uncontrollably at what Demi said...
2008-05-01 15:02 < Working_Cat> too true
2008-05-01 15:02 < Working_Cat> str4nd: what
2008-05-01 15:03 < bbot> nobody has ever been voiced on #wikipedia
2008-05-01 15:03 < bbot> amusing
2008-05-01 15:03 < str4nd> Working_Cat: "stranded" (str4nd ~ strand) :)
2008-05-01 15:03 < Mahlzahn> sheesh.
2008-05-01 15:03 < Working_Cat> i know that, smartypants
2008-05-01 15:04 < Mahlzahn> psst. The obvious is not obvious to everyone.
2008-05-01 15:04 < Demi> bbot - maybe not this instance, but it happens
2008-05-01 15:04 < bbot> Demi: at least, not during the ircstats' logging period
2008-05-01 15:05 < Demi> yeah, it's rare; sometimes when we go +m for some reason
2008-05-01 15:05 < Demi> i was voiced a couple years ago to transcribe jimbo's CNN interview
2008-05-01 15:05 < Demi> i guess it was a couple of years: the fifth of Siegenthaler, anyway
2008-05-01 15:06 < bbot> ah, yes, the fifth of siegenthaler
2008-05-01 15:06 < Mahlzahn> +v is only meanngful when +m

2008-05-01 15:07 < Mahlzahn> yeah
2008-05-01 15:07 < Working_Cat> Ceiling_Cat: Mahlzahn was asking what we should do about the number of cats in this channel
2008-05-01 15:07 < Mahlzahn> hmm strange I didn't see the join msg
2008-05-01 15:07 < Demi> used to be that's the way the topic worked, too

2008-05-01 15:08 < Mahlzahn> Working_Cat: and the context was?
2008-05-01 15:08 < Working_Cat> Mahlzahn: thats not the point. :)
2008-05-01 15:08 < Mahlzahn> ah, Iz cee!
2008-05-01 15:09 * Mahlzahn passes around the kibbles
2008-05-01 15:09 < Working_Cat> im not saying you were implying that there are too many. cuz we know for a fact that there just arent enough :)
2008-05-01 15:09 * Mahlzahn is fiery dragon!
2008-05-01 15:10 < Mahlzahn> cringe before me St. George!
2008-05-01 15:10 < Demi> the chinese just completed some new airport building, in the shape of... a dragon, of course.
2008-05-01 15:10 < Mahlzahn> of course.
2008-05-01 15:10 < cctoide> http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7376919.stm
2008-05-01 15:10 < gwern> huh. the DC Madam is dead
2008-05-01 15:10 < gwern> that is the sort of event that feeds conspiracy theories
2008-05-01 15:11 < Mahlzahn> Demi: the chow dog just didn't look so good
2008-05-01 15:11 < cimon> Demi: they should have made it in the shape of a rat, of course...
2008-05-01 15:11 < Demi> i was born in the year of the rat
2008-05-01 15:11 < Working_Cat> Demi: that explains it
2008-05-01 15:11 < gwern> 'Google's robot army is rumored to include some 4 million cybernetic search-and-destroy units, each capable of capturing and scanning up to 100 humans per day. Said co-founder Sergey Brin: "The scanning will be relatively painless. Hey, it's Google. It'll be fun to be scanned by a Googlebot. But in the event people resist, the robots are programmed to liquify the brain." '
2008-05-01 15:11 < cimon> Demi: And me in the year of the Fire-Horse...
2008-05-01 15:12 < Demi> Working_Cat - it explains my age of 35? :)
2008-05-01 15:12 < gwern> '"This announcement is a red flag," said Daniel Brandt, founder of Google-Watch.org. "I certainly don't want to accuse of them having bad intentions. But this campaign of destruction and genocide raises some potential privacy concerns."
2008-05-01 15:12 < gwern> Brandt also expressed reservations about the company's new motto. Until yesterday's news conference, the company's unofficial slogan had been "Don't be evil." The slogan has now been expanded to "Don't be evil, unless it's necessary for the greater good."
2008-05-01 15:12 < Demi> cimon - you're the same age as my wife. i didn'th think you were that old, for some reason.
2008-05-01 15:12 < Mahlzahn> Demi: all you chilluns still have some growing up to do.
2008-05-01 15:12 < gwern> I have always felt vaguely embarassed to be year of the rabbit; but on the other hand, which of the other zodiac animals are compounding the elixir of immortality among the cinnamon trees on the moon?
2008-05-01 15:13 < Mahlzahn> heh
2008-05-01 15:13 < Demi> Mahlzahn - 35 was bad enough, i'll cross the other old guy bridges when i come to them.
2008-05-01 15:13 < cimon> Demi: not some reason, the reason that I am still a non-cunt-penetrating juvenile presumptive...
2008-05-01 15:13 < Mahlzahn> ah a virgin
2008-05-01 15:13 < Mahlzahn> how sweet
2008-05-01 15:13 < Working_Cat> Demi: the years rotate you know
2008-05-01 15:14 < gwern> a teen virgin?
2008-05-01 15:14 < Mahlzahn> a babe in swathling clothes?
2008-05-01 15:14 < Demi> Working_Cat - yeah, every 60 years
2008-05-01 15:14 * Working_Cat is a Wood Rat
2008-05-01 15:14 < Rinn> I'm Rinn.
2008-05-01 15:15 < gwern> swathling?
2008-05-01 15:15 < Mahlzahn> diapers
2008-05-01 15:15 < Rinn> I thought it was "swaddling."
2008-05-01 15:15 < Demi> swaddling
2008-05-01 15:15 < Working_Cat> Demi: youz a Water Rat
2008-05-01 15:15 < Demi> yes, i am
2008-05-01 15:15 < Mahlzahn> whatever
2008-05-01 15:15 < gwern> Working_Cat: ooh, you know your zodiac down to the five elements? I'm envious
2008-05-01 15:16 < Mahlzahn> um, how dyo guys know this stuff?
2008-05-01 15:16 < Demi> WHO DOESN'T?!
2008-05-01 15:16 < Working_Cat> gwern: my sarcastoMeter read 5 megaRachs
2008-05-01 15:16 * Mahlzahn doesn't
2008-05-01 15:16 < Demi> i don't know the rotation, i just know my year and my wife's year, which happens to be the same as cimon's
2008-05-01 15:16 < Working_Cat> Mahlzahn: wikkit?
2008-05-01 15:16 < Working_Cat> (wiki it)
2008-05-01 15:16 < Mahlzahn> for some odd reason not on my radar
2008-05-01 15:17 * Working_Cat muzzles Messedrocker
2008-05-01 15:17 < Demi> http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7376919.stm <- a little late on this one; this is the story you linked, cctoide, btw
2008-05-01 15:17 < gwern> Working_Cat: I was being a little sarcastic, yes, due to my inherent contempt for superstitions and similar nonsense, but I was also a little impressed that you hadn't stopped at knowing your place in the 12 year cycle and continued to the 5 year one
2008-05-01 15:18 < Mahlzahn> "bloomin' Magi crap" :)
2008-05-01 15:18 < Working_Cat> Demi: and i thought being a lesbian was cool :P
2008-05-01 15:18 < Working_Cat> gwern: i just wiki'd it.
2008-05-01 15:19 < Mahlzahn> My cousin was born in Dachau. I think there are some places one does not want to be born in.
2008-05-01 15:19 * gwern watches my esteem of Working_Cat plummet. I knew I should've bought some short options
2008-05-01 15:19 < gwern> Mahlzahn: everyone knows that sort of place. like New Jersey
2008-05-01 15:19 < Mahlzahn> But it would presumably be really bad if Lesbos was an independent nation.
2008-05-01 15:19 < Working_Cat> not that i belive in these anyways. its just a measure of when i was born
2008-05-01 15:20 < Working_Cat> lol
2008-05-01 15:20 < cimon> Demi: I hope you are not suggesting I am having one off with your wife, on the sly ;-)
2008-05-01 15:20 < Aqwis> what's wrong with Dachau?
2008-05-01 15:20 < Demi> i propose people from lesbos be referred to as "lesboners"
2008-05-01 15:20 < Mahlzahn> Aqwis: same thing thats wrong with Auschwitz or Bergen-Belsen
2008-05-01 15:20 < Aqwis> oh
2008-05-01 15:21 < Lycurgus> who is the watcher that watches gwern?
2008-05-01 15:21 < Demi> cimon - i didn't think i was. are you?
2008-05-01 15:21 < Lubaf> I can has homan flesh?
2008-05-01 15:21 < gwern> Lycurgus: Ceiling_Cat
2008-05-01 15:21 < Lubaf> Ceiling_Cat: You about?
2008-05-01 15:21 < Demi> Mahlzahn - i'm reading a pretty alternative history book, and it talks a lot about how after baby hitler is killed, Bergen-Belsen, Dachau, etc. are just small towns in Europe now
2008-05-01 15:22 < Lubaf> Ceiling_Cat: I can haz flesh of teh living?
2008-05-01 15:22 < cimon> Demi: no I am not, we fire-horses don't tend to do that. I would help her with other non-fire-horse-paramours though, if she asked...
2008-05-01 15:22 < gwern> Lubaf: zombie jesus sez?
2008-05-01 15:22 < Working_Cat> >_<
2008-05-01 15:22 < Working_Cat> Lubaf: if it is gwern 's, you may
2008-05-01 15:22 < Mahlzahn> Demi: Have you ever read Jasper Fforde?
2008-05-01 15:22 < Demi> Mahlzahn - i have not
2008-05-01 15:23 < Working_Cat> i, acting on behalf of Lucifer_Cat permit you to do so
2008-05-01 15:23 < Demi> i'm starting to get into the alternate history thing, though
2008-05-01 15:23 < cimon> Demi: who is the AH author?

2008-05-01 15:24 < gwern> 'After undergrad and then five sunless years inside one or another of several ivy encrusted red brick buildings (hereinafter "The University"), "Equity Private" holds BA, MA and MBA degrees from institutions of higher learning with endowments larger than the GDP of many countries. Somehow they still manage to annually pester our author for cash gifts of all sizes.' <-- lol
2008-05-01 15:24 < gwern> Lubaf: i has a flavor!
2008-05-01 15:25 < Working_Cat> a caustic one
2008-05-01 15:25 < gwern> Working_Cat: are you accusing me of being bitter?
2008-05-01 15:25 * gwern never even met'er!
2008-05-01 15:26 < Mahlzahn> vitriol all vitriol
2008-05-01 15:27 < Demi> yeah
2008-05-01 15:27 < gwern> Mahlzahn: only when you get in mah bellah!
2008-05-01 15:27 < Demi> alumni associations are incredible that way
2008-05-01 15:27 < Demi> they can track me anywhere
2008-05-01 15:28 < Mahlzahn> the spy on you?
2008-05-01 15:28 * gwern decides to go and read some ny times and have lunch
2008-05-01 15:28 < Mahlzahn> Demi: seriously [[The Eyre Affair]] is a great alternate-reality riot.
2008-05-01 15:28 < Demi> okay, cool
2008-05-01 15:29 < Demi> i'll add it to my queue
2008-05-01 15:29 < Demi> argh, i just realize my book is overdue
2008-05-01 15:29 < Lycurgus> Hirogen.
2008-05-01 15:29 < Demi> oh no it's not
2008-05-01 15:29 < Demi> whew
2008-05-01 15:30 < Demi> that was my last book
2008-05-01 15:30 < Demi> fuck, that could have cost me US$0.20
2008-05-01 15:31 < Demi> nice, now i'll have something to read
2008-05-01 15:32 < Lycurgus> (look out for them on alternative timelines when in the dachau or bergen-belsen areas)
2008-05-01 15:32 < bbot> Oh shit! Someone's hotlinking one of my images!

2008-05-01 15:34 < NoPegs> heh
2008-05-01 15:35 < Working_Cat> Confused_Cat: caught hold of him yet?
2008-05-01 15:35 < bbot> The asshole's cropped the image down to 202x146, which limits the amount of horror I can inflict
2008-05-01 15:36 < Mahlzahn> 202x146 is big enough for something pr0nographic
2008-05-01 15:36 < Rinn> Goatse! Goatse!
2008-05-01 15:36 < Mahlzahn> :)
2008-05-01 15:37 < Rinn> I've done goatse in less than 100x100 before. It's universallly applicable.

2008-05-01 16:15 < ThePolecat> Germany has no pi day, since our rule is "day first", and April only has 30 days.
2008-05-01 16:15 < Soxred93> There's no March 14?
2008-05-01 16:16 < ThePolecat> Our rule is "day first"
2008-05-01 16:16 < Working_Cat> sox... they write 14/3/2008
2008-05-01 16:16 < Soxred93> Oh...
2008-05-01 16:16 < ThePolecat> so it would have to be 31/4
2008-05-01 16:16 < Working_Cat> which is the only sensible way to write dates
2008-05-01 16:16 < Soxred93> Which is impossible
