<Ryft> Movie Quote: "London. Paris. Athens. Rome. Belfast. Beruit. We're not the first city to have to deal with terrorism. Tel Aviv. The day after they bombed the market in Tel Aviv the market was open and it was full. This is New York City. We can take it."
<Ryft> I got $20 says no one can guess it.
<Massinissa> Ben Hur?
<Ryft> Massinissa wins.

<Meia> You're forgiven.
<Alyosha`> Wow, you've forgiven me and no one had to die in the process.
<Alyosha`> Meia: Better Than God.
<Alyosha`> Should be your official motto, yathink?

<Alyosha``> Meia: water? Come on, water is the simplest thing to synthesize in the universe! Two hydrogen, one oxygen, you're in business!
<Meia> Alyo: Bah on you.
* Alyosha`` can't believe you Singaporeans. Next thing you know they'll be passing laws about not chewing gum ...
<Ryft> Meia: Don't worry, the States get water from Canada too. They're no better.
<Alyosha``> Ryft: yes, but you put something in it. Fermented hops, if I recall correctly ...

<mobic> the athiest is like a sentient bubble in the ocean that sez air does not exist.....but only finds out at the end
<Ad_Hoc> that might be the worst analogy I've ever seen.
<Meia> It's cute.
<Meia> Sentient bubbles. Hee hee.
<Meia> But why would the bubble be sentient? Does it feel superiority over the non-sentient bubbles? Is there a sentient bubble hierarchy?
<Meia> Do sentient bubbles argue the philosophy of existence while bobbing happily in the sea? Is there sentient bubble angst? Do sentient bubbles want to rise up somewhere further... somewhere /effulgent/?
<Meia> mobic: And what's the measure of sentience in a bubble? How do we, or say... other bubbles look at sentient bubbles and decide, ah, yes! This one is a /sentient/ bubble! Do bubbles even have eyes?
<mobic> Meia cool im glad it captured you imagination
<Meia> It's also, of course, incredibly funny. Sentient bubble civilizations.
<mobic> Meia the sea is the limit aint it
<Meia> mobic: Yep. Hee hee. I keep thinking of little bubbles with eyes...
<Meia> Going about their sentient bubble ways... can't really write things in the ocean, so I guess they must have a sentient bubble oral tradition.

<Meia> 1) Beer is not food. 2) No matter WHAT your dad says, it does not constitute breakfast.
<Giegue> It does too!
<Meia> Does not.
<Giegue> Prove it.
<Alyosha`> Let x equal the set of beers no drunk before 12 am. Let y be defined as the set of all breakfast foods. We will prove by contradiction. Assume person p consumes an element from set x which does not have a one-to-one function mapping across set y ...
<Meia> You can't equate x to y.
<Meia> Not unless you differentiate it, in which case, you'll get the change in x by time, which would be the amount of beer consumed after a set amount of time.
<Alyosha`> I'm not, I'm just assuming that there isn't a function that maps elements in the domain of set x with an element in set y ... pay attention. This is really quite elementry ...
<Meia> But then you'd also have to get the change in beer (hereafter known as Be) by change in Breakfast, (hereafter known as B.)
<Meia> Which can only be done if you multiply them both by their set nutritional values.
<Alyosha`> No no, this is not the time to map function variables into the frequency domain! What you need to do is approximate beers with Fourier polynomials.
<Meia> No, no, /no/.
<Meia> It's the change in nutritional values, for proof that Be /= B.
<Alyosha`> Yes yes yes ... now, after you've arranged the beer bottles in nicely undulating sine wave patterns, you need to consider the cardinality of set z of all sets that have never been considered. Whoops! There they all go. The cardinality is zero ...
<Meia> But first, you'll have to make sure that the height of the beer bottles aren't higher than 1...
<Alyosha`> Yes, yes ... you have to normalize your beers.
* Alyosha` feels that this is the moral equivalent of Intellectual Calvinball.

<virgio> Good..otherwise I would have done the 'everyone raise their hand that's been in a male/male relationship' :P
* Meia raises her hand.
<Meia> *pause*
<Meia> Uh, oops.

<Slyfoot3> Lincoln was a male... and by gosh, JFK was male too...!
<Ad_Hoc> actually, that's not true. Lincoln was female. But the beard fooled many.

<volo> if God was such a great designer, how come he didn't give rabbits enough bacteria to break down the food inside their bodies so they wouldn't have to eat their own ****, so to speak.
<Teniers> volo: perhaps rabbits don't believe in God
<volo> Teniers: well they are unclean animals.
<volo> Teniers: Lev says theyare unclean.
<Issac> leviticus says a lot of things are unclean
<Issac> its the big book of cooties, basically

* Comforter_ is very thankful that God loved he enough to send his ONLY son to die for her sins and will forever be greatful :)
<Buzzcut> Comforter_: there's something more than a little sick about that. "Hello; I love you. Hold on while I kill my kid."

<Master_of_Illusion^> i put it to you templeyard that you only think or believe that the holy spirit visits you personally
<templeyard> MOI: also, i encounter evil spirits, i've had them audibly talk to me in situations
<Turba> templeyard: I suggest a mental health facility.

<michelem> do you have to have a rating? Can't you just be a Christian?
<Meia> mich: No, y'see, if you are a blue-slip Christian, you have to stay the closest to the Hell side...
<michelem> what is a blue-slip Christian?
<michelem> never heard that phrase before
<PuRgAt0rY> michelem> "what is a blue-slip Christian?" ....some other sect than yellow-condom Christians..

<Christian_Soldier> Pornography is the temptation of the devil.
<Christian_Soldier> Looking at pornography can lead to blindness, floods, earthquakes, and comets striking the earth.

<thx-||38> angels invented the internet
<CherokeeLace> thx: fallen angels invented mine.

<GeneDriven_Robot> Net_cow, there is a verse that also mentions the earth has 4 corners, now how does something circle have 4 corners?...and besides, its not circle, its spherical.
<Charismata> GeneDriven_Robot: that is so far from the truth the bible shows the earth as being round or a circuit I can show you the scriptures
<Natural409> Charismata, so the earth is a circular tent, ok

<Giegue> Az here is my half-brother!
<Meia> Now you must kill him to protect your share of the inheritance from your rich Uncle, currently suffering from a terminal disease.
<Meia> But unbeknownst to you, your Uncle is having an affair with the nurse assigned to him...
<Meia> Who is in love with your half-brother's father.
<Meia> Who happens to be dead.
<Meia> And your Uncle's doctor wants to pull the plug secretly, because he's in love with your Uncle's nurse...
<AZCiudad> wow... and my uncle's doctor is female too

Back?
