They've been shunted over to making sure the holes in the cheese are within tolerance; a vastly more precisely controlled process than the Swiss have ever let on.


Recently when I was reading an appendix to the aforementioned 1905 paper On the Electrodynamics of Nocturnal Roving Herds of Weird, Purple Jellyfish, I was astonished to find the author arriving at the following mathematical conclusion:

E=mc²

Where E = the energy released in the screams of the victim of a jellyfish sting.

m = the meanness of the particular jellyfish

c = the amount of cussing produced by the victim.

How was it that Alfred Einstein was able to sort out this remarkably simple relationship in a way that has dazzled all who look at the ocean and ponder the billions and billions of jellyfish it contains ever since?

Well, in a recently published study of "Reference Framing" in framable references of spacialities, that could be referentially framed, into references, it was noted that the level of referencing that went on, was directly referencable to the framing of the reference, preferred by the referential framer, who framed the reference, such that the entire reference would be frame in reference!...that was how he had pondered it, but apparently he spelt it differently, out of frame and off reference...soooooooo..."a needle pulling thread"

No, it doesn't, a fact discovered when they were studying it to see how it went to the bathroom.


Since the jellyfish is about 98% water the quetion is often raised "When I go collecting washed up jellyfish off the beach, is it possible to know if I am grabbing it by the jellyfish part or by the water part?" and this is the reason that Heizenburg formulated his astonishing Jellyfish Uncertainty Principle which states that we can either know the water content of a jellyfish, or the jellyfish content, but not both at the same time. A remarkable piece of work that said a great deal about jellyfish while completely avoiding a direct answer to the original quetion. How was Heizenburg able to be so slippery?

How many tentacles are found on a jellyfish that exists in gillbert space?

 

[zoobyshoe]

How many tentacles are found on a jellyfish that exists in gillbert space?

Orthonormally speaking, "gill" bert space, where there are a lot of Von Neumann fish, is not a good place for jellyfish, because these fish bite and eat the jellyfish with sharp!pointy!teeth! and they end up with few, if any, tentacles.


Recently I was reading Alfred Einstein's staggering work: The General Theory of Jellitivity in which he sets forth ideas that have made it possible for us to now enjoy such technological wonders as the GPS (Gelatinous Positioning System). I am sure that by the time I finish this wonderful paper I will have a thorough understanding, not just of jellyfish, but of jelly, jello, unflavored gelatin, and perhaps even the musical stylings of Jellyroll Morton. To think it all started from his thoughts on "Gelatinous Motion" when he reccomended we all stare into a glass of water and watch the itsy-bitsy jellyfish being bounced around by the molecules like the balls in a tiny game of water polo. And to think it grew from there into his grand insight that space, itself, was curved like a jellyfish around the matter that floats through it. Where would Alfred Einstein be without the jellyfish?

 

[Ivan Seeking]

Where would Alfred Einstein be without the jellyfish?

On dry land.

When Alfred boldly asserted that God doesn’t play dice with invertebrates, Seals Bohr barked back something about the protected species act leaving Alfred completely adrift in thought. But then while strolling along the trail of dead jellyfish left behind by Bohr, Alfred looked up…

What exactly did he realize as he tripped on a foaming jellyfish part?

What exactly did he realize as he tripped on a foaming jellyfish part?

That he hadn't secured his sailboat and it was now about a hundred yards offshore being steered by a gang of pirate seals who called themselves "Jellium Mechanics".

Sir Isaac Newt demonstrated long ago that every wierd, purple jellyfish is actually composed of a spectrum of weirdness ranging from the infra-weird to the ultra-weird. This raised the quetion of the possibility of weird, purple jellyfish that are outside the range of human perception of weirdness. Haven't you ever noticed your cat staring at something unseen by you and wondered if it wasn't seeing a species of weird, purple jellyfish that only a feline can percieve?

 

[Ivan Seeking]

Haven't you ever noticed your cat staring at something unseen by you and wondered if it wasn't seeing a species of weird, purple jellyfish that only a feline can percieve?

My cat, Einstein [I know, really unique], has looked at me strangely from time to time, as does Tsunami twice a day, but I can always account for this strange behavior – Einstein’s not Tsunami’s - by a careful check of the food bowl first, the litter box next, and then my newly developed hyper-weird jellyfish spectrometer. The data shows that your suggestion [and yours is not the only one.] would lead to something known as the purple jellyfish catastrophe. However, if we consider the deeds of the dastardly Swiss pirate known as Walk-the-Plank Max [an unemployed Swiss, precision watch maker that had a very unfortunate incident involving a hook, a peg leg, and a rope, but that's another story] we find that it was ole Walk-the who first realized that jellyfishes come in discrete units called Jellomolds. So I ask you: How can there be invisible purple jellyfish if they come in Jellomolds?

 

[Math Is Hard]

We can't be too dismissive of the observations of feline physicists as they have a true mastery of higher dimensions. In fact, it was the young physicist Edward Kitten who first noticed that Jellomolds have the ability to seep out of 4 dimensionsal space-time and disappear forever (thus becoming invisible) much like the little rubber mousie that got knocked under the refrigerator and was never seen again. Unfortunately many rival physicists were able to distract Kitten from completing his work on Jellomolds by rolling balls of yarn across the floor in front of him. This backfired ultimately, serving only to spark his ideas on "string theory".
Is a Swiss precision watch maker someone who makes watches that are Swiss and precise, or a person of Swiss nationality who makes precision watches or both or neither?

 

[zoobyshoe]

Is a Swiss precision watch maker someone who makes watches that are Swiss and precise, or a person of Swiss nationality who makes precision watches or both or neither?

Swiss citizenship requires:

A. The ability to yodel.

B. The ability to make a precise watch.

C. The ability to name all the utensils on a Swiss Army knife without looking.

Therefore, the correct anser is: "both".


It used to be believed that jellomolds, by virtue of the "jiggly" aspect of their "jiggly/melty" duality, must be jiggles in some ubiquitous medium known as the icky goo.
However, all attempts to detect the icky goo using a fascinating set up of Smucker's jars mounted at right angles to each other on a great, solid, stone surface plate, such that the icky goo, if it actually existed, would be observable by Bill Cosby who was also mounted on the plate such that the icky goo would interfere with a bowl of Jell-o placed in front of him, failed. There was no icky goo.
Recently, however, there have been attempts to revive the notion of the icky goo. How do modern conceptions of the icky goo differ from those of the classical icky goo?

The concept of icky goo has been abandoned by modern science altogether, upon the realization that jellyfish would rather float in salt water rather than goo.

Since advances in research now tell us that mass = jellyfish (as referenced by the website in my last post), should our beloved E=mc^2 theory be modified to E=jc^2, AND... if there can be a value calculated from the product of two certain values of gravity and time, such that it is precisely equal to the speed of light, should the equation be so revised such that
E = jc(gt) or ultimately
E = TJCG thereby proving that ENERGY=GOD?

Absolutely! And don't stop there. Since Energy=God, and Energy=Mass, and Mass=Jellyfish, then JELLYFISH=GOD!

YES DEFINATELY especially since I read that linked page of yours and saw them Mama Branes!

What the heck is a Mama Brane? is it like a jollyfish/ (Thats 'inside' jellyfish talk for "one who laughs, at these jellyfishy pages")

 

[Math Is Hard]

I think the Mama Brane is what takes over when maternal instincts are invoked. About 100 times fiercer than the reptile brane.

Should I type slowly in case any other blondes are reading this post?

 

[zoobyshoe]

Should I type slowly in case any other blondes are reading this post?

The comprehension speed of blondes is tied to the typing speed of blondes by a simple relationship expressed in the following formula:

v^b₂ = (ç)/v^b₁

Where:

v^b₁= blonde typing velocity

v^b₂ = blonde comprehension velocity

(ç) = a constant known as the "Barbie Constant" which is a hairy and dense thing that would take 30 pages to explain.

The net result is that the slower you type the slower they comprehend.


Recently I went to the refridgerator and discovered that my jar of strawberry jelly was empty. Should I post about this in Skepticism and Debunking: was it an authentic Out-Of-Jelly-Experience?

 

[Math Is Hard]

Zoob, you need to clean out your refrigerator. It is apparent that you have built up sufficient mass in the old ice box to create a miniature black hole. Jelliton particles will be the first to disappear since they are naturally seeking the MAMA brane dwelling in the singularity.
One way to test for sure if a miniature black hole is forming in the frig: if you open the door and the light comes on, you’re probably ok, but if you open the door and all the light gets sucked out of your kitchen, then you’ve got a problem.
Hope this helps! If you clean out your frig and the problem still persists check your warranty.

What percentage of refrigerator warranties cover spontaneous black hole development?

 

[zoobyshoe]

What percentage of refrigerator warranties cover spontaneous black hole development?

Percentage? I don't know. They offered me the extended spontaneous black hole development warrantee when I bought it but I thought that was just a scam to get more money out of me.

As I ponder cleaning out my fridge I wonder if I should throw out the five dozen fried egg jellyfish I have been keeping for a zoobie feast.

Here's what they look like:

Woohoo, a brand new forum to post in! Just thought it didn't feel quite right without this here. So in the tradition of PF 2.0 ask a stupid "quetion" and get a stupid answer back.

Sorry to inform you, so late but it already has.

 

[Math Is Hard]

Those fried egg jellies look delicious. I wouldn't keep them more than 48 hours though. They tend to spoil quickly. Egg jellies are more massive than they look, by the way.

Is there also a toast and sausage jellyfish?

 

[zoobyshoe]

Is there also a toast and sausage jellyfish?

I don't know about sausage, but there will never be a toast jellyfish, because then they'd have to come up with a jelly jellyfish to put on it, which would be a redundancy, or a double positive, snce a jellyfish is already jelly, so how can you have a jelly jellyfish any more than you can have jelly jelly or fish fish?


Since fried eggs do not mate with jellyfish in nature, the fried egg jellyfish is clearly the result of mysterious experiments perpetrated behind closed doors at area 51. What kind of demented mind do you suppose determined that it would be interesting to see if you could cross a fried egg with a jellyfish?

 

[Math Is Hard]

What kind of demented mind do you suppose determined that it would be interesting to see if you could cross a fried egg with a jellyfish?

Aha! A mind this inherently devious can only be traced back to one origin. I propose that these cruel freaks of nature were spawned by none other than the sellyfishly-inclined, late-night radio host, Art Bell, who in some drunken, hallucinatory frenzy (while tripping over the cat repeatedly in his trailer-lab) co-mingled jellyfish and fried egg DNA in hopes of finding an acceptable hangover cure.

If, by accident, Art had co-mingled his own DNA with jellyfish DNA, would that create a Bellyfish?

That, or something equally Artyfishal.


Since the nocturnaly roving herds of weird, purple jellyfish have made it to the nevada desert should we be worried they will displace the indigenous population of wild fried eggs?

 

[Math Is Hard]

Why worry? This displacement will only serve to lower the cholesterol rate (which is considerable) of Nevada overall.

In the absense of natural predators (jellyfish) and with adequate resources, would the population of wild fried eggs grow at an exponential rate, and what effect would this have on sales of Lipitor?

 

[zoobyshoe]

In the absense of natural predators (jellyfish) and with adequate resources, would the population of wild fried eggs grow at an exponential rate, and what effect would this have on sales of Lipitor?

Because non-native, nocturnally roving herds of weird, purple jellyfish will attack and fight with the native wild fried eggs in an effort to take over the fried egg's source of brackish water it is sometimes erroneously concluded that the native Nevadan Desert Jellyfish is also in competition with the wild fried egg. This is not so, since the Native Nevadan Desert Jellyfish feeds exclusively on a species of hallucinogenic cactus found there, and is alway too high to fight anything else. Nocturnally roving herds of weird, purple jellyfish are a completely new factor in this environment and ecologists are watching the situation with white-knuckled fear. The wild fried egg population has always been kept in check, not by predators, but because so many perish when they roll over to go to sleep and pop their yoke when they are still in the tender, sunny side up stage of development.

Confusing the Native Nevadan Desert Jellyfish with the wild fried egg, kids looking for a cheap high often end up with egg on their face when they travel to the desert and lick wild fried eggs, hoping to see fantastic colors and to get a glimpse of an alternate reality. In an effort to stop these kids from trespassing on his ranch and disturbing his herds of semi-domesticated wild fried eggs, Nevada fried egg rancher Ed Wilson has resorted to pretending his ranch is an outpost of Area 51, which he patrols in an old army jeep, wearing an old army uniform, threatening to shoot any trespassers who won't immediately leave. That seems illegal to me, but my quetion is: what does he do with all the fried eggs?

 

[Math Is Hard]

my quetion is: what does he do with all the fried eggs?

Thrill-seeking students are the least of Ed Wilson's worries,as he has weekly confrontations with the Egg Liberation Front (ELF) who suspect he breeds WFE for cruel research experiments for the feds. There is also a problem of people illegally hunting these practically "tame" eggs on his property.
In fact, according to police reports, his eggs are poached virtually every morning.

Recently the Discovery Channel had an interesting special about the wild fried egg. One extremely poignant segment showed a pregnant wild fried egg returning to the very same sun-heated flat rock where she herself had been born to give birth to her litter. It was quite fascinating to see how she deposited each of her babies at a carefully determined distance from each other so that as they began to fry in the sun they wouldn't stick together. Then she stayed to tenderly guard them till they had matured to the sturdier sunny-side-up stage of their development where they are able to move about on their own.

In view of this heartwarming documentary footage, it doesn't seem possible that anyone could not want to stop the encroachent upon this habitat by the nocturnally roving herds of weird, purple jellyfish. Or am I just the victim of ELF propaganda?

This footage is an elaborate hoax created by ELF. It was all done with CG effects and stop-motion techniques. The truth is, Wild Fried Eggs come from Wild Fried Chickens.

Which leads us to the obvious quetion: Which came first, the Wild Fried Chicken or the Wild Fried Egg?

No, this is a trick quetion based on a logical fallacy. The wild fried chicken like the wild fired egg gives live birth to her young.

It is well known that if you capture a wild fried chicken and hold it up to your ear its body cavity will select sounds from the environment that happen to be in the resonant frequency of the wild fried chicken in quetion. Some adults in an attempt to be whimsical, will tell children that this is the sound of the spattering deep fryer in which the chicken was fried. In fact though, poultro-biologists have discovered that the resonant frequency of a given wild fried chicken is an excellent measurement of what?

 

[Math Is Hard]

In fact though, poultro-biologists have discovered that the resonant frequency of a given wild fried chicken is an excellent measurement of what?

I think this measurement is in direct proportion to the number of Native Nevadan Desert Jellyfish one has licked before one goes frolicking through the woods putting wild fried chickens to his/her ear.

If a Wild Fried Chicken is steadily vibrated at its resonant frequency, will this cause the chicken to shatter into McNuggets?

 

[zoobyshoe]

If a Wild Fried Chicken is steadily vibrated at its resonant frequency, will this cause the chicken to shatter into McNuggets?

No, McNuggets can only be created by bombarding a wild fried chicken with high voltage french fries that have been once or twice around the big, expensive types of particle accelerators. This knocks the fried chickens down into their component McNuggets. Then McNugget physicists study the greasy spiral trails and determine what kind of McNugget each one is. So far over 100 different kinds of McNuggets have been identified and there's no end in sight.


In spite of the fact that the wild fried egg has been known to poultro-biologists since there discovery in 1985 is still hasn't been determined if the wild scrambled egg is the senescent, final stage of the wild fried egg, or if it is a separate species. Gaps in basic knowledge like this shows that wild fried egg research has always been under-funded and unappreciated by institutions of higher learning. The many fried and scrambled egg breakfasts that have been organized to raise money for this research have somehow ended up being counter-productive. How can we get the word out that the wild fried egg needs to be studied before he nocturnally roving herds of weird, purple jellyfish displace it forever into ecological niches where it may not be able to survive?

 

[Math Is Hard]

Jellyfish will take their natural dominant place in the eco-system, as their adaptive biological abilities have shown them to be superior to the evolutionary capabilities of wild fried eggs.
That in mind, how certain is it, that jellyfish will soon displace the population of carnegie hall pianists?

That in mind, how certain is it, that jellyfish will soon displace the population of carnegie hall pianists?

Although it is true that one member of one species of jellyfish native to the island lakes of Palau was recently observed playing the piano, the truth seems to be that most of them prefer the transverse flute. The ones that really seem to constitute a threat are those that have taken up conducting.

To discover the spring constant k of a jellyfish's tentacle it is only necessary to suspend the animal from the ceiling and hang a mass whose force in Newtons under the acceleration of gravity is known, measure the displacement by subtracting tentacle length ₂ from tentacle length ₁, and to plug the results into the following formula: k=F/d, where d = displacement, k = spring constant, and F = force in Newtons. What do you suppose is the best way to get a jellyfish to cooperate with this excercise?

Since almost every fast food establishment has now included the new completely artificially flavored weird, purple jellyfish milkshake on their menu, weird purple jellyfish everywhere have breathed a sigh of relief.

why is a nickel twice as big as a dime if it's worth half as much?

 

[zoobyshoe]

why is a nickel twice as big as a dime if it's worth half as much?

The nickel is large because it is on the verge of splitting into two dimes by asexual reproduction. It's worth less, before it splits, because it is younger and less experienced.

Speaking of coins: once, when I was at work surveying some ancient ruins that were to be mapped for historical research, the ground beneath my feet suddenly gave way and I found myself sliding down an inclined shaft away from the sunlight and into a dark, cool, stale, mysterious place below. Whipping out the 2000 watt flashlight I had ordered through the Coast to Coast program, and which I always carried with me in broad daylight, because it is also a radio, I quickly flicked on my favorite station, and sat down to wait to be rescued. After an hour or so, my eyes became accustomed to the dark and I began to make out the figure of what looked like an old woman huddled against the wall of the other side of the chamber I was in. Soon it was clear she was engaged in some knitting. Later it could be discerned that she was knitting something I couldn't make out. Later, it was completely clear that what she was knitting was totally obscure.
About an hour later, she uncrossed her legs, and nudged at what looked like a heap of indeterminate properties that was on the floor of the chamber in front of her. "Penny! Penny! she said, "Wake up and try this on, now!" The heap stirred and elevated itself from the ground, and revealed itself to be a weird, purple jellyfish. She held the garment for it while it sleepily slipped it's tentacles into all the tentacle sleeves, and then she buttoned up the front. "Looks pretty good!" the old woman said. The weird, purple jellyfish just yawned. Why is it that a quarter, which is worth five times as much as a nickle, only turns up like a bad penny, when the nickles are wooden, since if you bite a doubloon to make sure it is really gold, that's a pretty penny in dental work if it turns out not to be, but if a pennywise jellyfishfoolish fool bites a jellyfish, he will have no pennies saved for a rainy day because a jellyfish saved from cold on a rainy day with a nice sweater is money in the bank?

Funny you should mention the ancient Chinese martial art of Kung Pao...the other day, as I was strolling through Chinatown, I was recognized as a zoobie and stared at everywhere I went. Pretty soon a very rough looking gentleman with a pock-marked visage, a bald head, and the tattoo of the Kung Pao monastery on his neck began, not so sureptitiously to follow me around. Being nervous, since I was out of my usual, brushy habitat, I looked for some means of shaking him off. Percieving my intent, he began to follow more and more closely, till he was right behind me. In desperation I turned and attempted to enter a bric a brac shop, but my entry was blocked by a large man, also bald, sporting a painfull looking cicatrice down his left cheek, and also bearing the Kung Pao tattoo.

Thanks for the pie, Jimmy. Your unfortunate tiff with the chef reminds me of the lowly ditchdigger who decided to pursue his dream of becoming a cowboy. At the first roundup, however, he found himself to be too tenderhearted to apply the hot iron to the calves flanks. His harsh boss fired him on the spot, saying "If you can't brand the meat, then get back to your ditchin'!"

In 1861, in his declining years, Electromagnetism genius Michael Fairedey discovered what was perhaps his most important discovery, which is that, if you apply a jellyfish to the left side of a person's head, a current to the right side, arrange a North-South magnetic field along the shortest dimension of the jellyfish, shine some polarized light in the person's ears, and then instruct the person to blow upon a lighted candle, the price of peas in the remote English village of Squatting by Turditch will drop by precisely tuppence a ton, no matter where in Great Britain the setup is arranged. However, the governing coucil of Squatting asked him please to stop performing the demonstration, and knowledge of this effect fell by the wayside. Later, though, mathemetician, and Fairedaey admirer, Maxwell S. Hammer, sat down and worked out a system of remarkable formulas that completely explain The Squatting Effect and all its ramifications. In light of Hammer's formula's, what do you suppose would happen if the Elders of Squatting ever relaxed the prohibition on the demonstration?
