<to complete Zantra's post> How do you teach a jellyfish quantum mechanics ?

 

[Math Is Hard]

Absurd, Gokul. A quantum mechanic can no more teach a jellyfish about sub-atomic laws than a jellyfish can teach a quantum mechanic about the importance of drifting, stinging, and the electro-dynamics of purple weirdness.

I did speak to the jellies once about their views on quantum mechanics, and they put a serious question to me. I could not answer it.

If the anterioflevan, sub-excusian actualities of vitrustical particles are not found to be exclusively intrinso-paleomorphic, then why are the Velkdan-Schmidt curves of their exo-lambrians always dynamified?

Ensure that the quantum soup is bouillabaisse.

Why do the sub-excusian actualities of jellyfish never sum to an actual excuse for the existence of jellyfish?

 

[Math Is Hard]

I think this is related to Oeno's axiom/excusium: "Jellyfish existence summation values will be subject to an error margin of 12.6% if you have had more than two glasses of cabernet over the course of the calculation."

What else did Oeno postulate?

 

[Gokul43201]

What else did Oeno postulate?

That you can never catch a jellyfish, even if you are not slower than it. He called this "the Paradox of Ajillies", and its proof involves an infinite sum of sub-excusia. The paradox results from the assumption (known as Oeno's Axiom) that no sum of sub-excusia results in a halfway decent excuse.

In fact, it is widely believed that old Alfred based his Jellitivity Theory on this argument, since it suggests that nothing can travel faster than the speed of roving jellyfish.

But how on Earth did Alfred figure out that the jellies had to belong to nocturnally roving herds of the weird, purple kind ?

But how on Earth did Alfred figure out that the jellies had to belong to nocturnally roving herds of the weird, purple kind ?

When "Hidden Variables Al", as Hümdinger^* called Alfred, developed the Principle of Equivocation, it revealed that nothing can escape from certain jellyfish, not even light -- unless the light is purple. That is why when these jellyfish are around it is always dark except for the weird, purple glow they give off. He deduced that the jellyfish must be wandering constantly from the fact that it never seems to stay dark longer than the end of the night, except on those rare occasions when a celestial body passes in front of the sun.

Many have theorized which celestial bodies might do this. One night when Alfred got lost trying to find his way back to his house from the Institute of Adventitious Studies in Hoboken, he was at found 3 am driving a Zamboni around downtown Edmonton, and using a hockey puck to cast shadows from the streetlights onto various objects. When asked if he needed help, he responded "Zpace jellyfish!"

Why did Alfred later call the space jellyfish his biggest blunder?


^* Ermine Hümdinger, who was a bit of a weasel, could be quite catty.

 

[franznietzsche]

If you had just finished off two barrels of the country's finest whiskey, you too would consider anything you did your greatest mistake. Alfred was lucky that his mistake was just the space jellyfish, most people usually get caught in photographs in obscene acts with some even more bizarre than the space jellyfish, the ever elusive "drunk jellyfish", known for breeding under the labels of alcohol bottles.

It was not until recently that the space jellyfish was mathematically proven to be a total fallacy, via the corollary of the Drunk Jellyfish Postulate, however i ahve not been able to find exactly what this postualte states or who first postulated it. Does anyone know?

As noted above, Alfred E. showed nothing can escape from jellyfish, so this thread can't either.

Why might someone assume this thread could escape?

 

[jimmy p]

Why might someone assume this thread could escape?

Because the person that started this thread was Steve McQueen.

Why would this thread want to escape from jellyfish?

It wouldn't. It needs the poison.

How much wood would a woodchucker chuck if a wood chucker could chuck wood?

The Bob (2004 ©)

I once read in "Woodchucker Monthly" (a delightful read) that if the average wood chucker could chuck wood, then the average woodchucker would chuck around 600 board feet per hour. However it doesn't specify if it were Balsa wood or Ironwood.

How much oil could a woodchucker boil if he was using a gumboiler?

'Cause they're not 2 horny !

And what all this gibberish about "questions" ? : Can't you guys spell ? Darned school system...what's it come to anyway ?

Okay, you don't have to answer that - it was rhetorical.

I just had a sandwich for dinner : peanut butter and jellyfish 'n' chips. Not too bad. What should I get for dessert ?

After that dessert, hemlock would be welcome.

I keep forgetting how to diagonalize the smoked hamiltonian, in Jellium Mechanics. Can someone help me with that ?

Why does these sentence make not a smell of sense in a sensical way?

The Bob (2004 ©)

 

[Gokul43201]

Because the anser doesn't have to be relevant to the quetion.

Which pole is farther north?

 

[Werdatothewise]

Stupid...

If you ask a stupid question to a "stupid" person do you get a stupid answer? Have I worded that correctly? If so,

Consider this.

Depends on the person and what his intelligence level and stupidity levels are percentaged at and what given direction. There is no such person who can be called "stupid" ... and no answer reply that is (given) is EVER a loss for thought.

Oh man. I read this and cracked up... erm.. I mean... I was very annoyed.

***DISCLAIMER 3 (THE BOB): AMW Bonfire is/was not in a position to disclaim me as a reason for problems or damages. I would, therefore, like to forward the responsibility to AMW.INC (or was it PLC?? ). Please complain to the following address:

P.S. Sorry Bob! I was only joking!

I know. Me too.

New Question:What is the cheapest way to run a computer?

Lol, AMW.Inc.? My business... It's called "The Bob". So please forward all complaints to The Bob.

The Bob's email is... wait, better not give it out. Don't want him getting spammed. Send it to me instead! mail@amwbonfire.com if you would like to spam me (don't bother, I've got nifty spam blockers, and A LOT of time. But try anyway!)

What is the cheapest way to run a computer?

Hm, it depends on what you mean by run. I'll assume you mean operate.

The cheapest way to run it is to turn off the monitor, because that uses roughly double the amount of electricity as the rest of the computer. Secondly, turn off the computer, because that's using power too. And, as we know, electricity costs money, and we're looking to run it cheaply.

After that, disconnect your peripherals, as they could be draining electricity when you're not looking. Next, go to your fuse box and turn off electricity to your house. This is wasting money, and you don't need that. After disconnecting your electricity supply, blow up your streets overhead power lines, or it's underground power lines. A simple bomb should do it. Now, go to your power grid, and blow that up too. You'll want to make sure the backup generators are also taken out by the blast, as these will just kick in when the main power is down. This will cost money, and you don't want that.

After solving the problem for your city, you'll now want to go to all surrounding cities and blow up their energy sources as well. This will mean everyone runs their computers at the lowest possible cost! Your neighbours will be really pleased with this money-saving idea, and frankly, you'll be happy too!

It is the way they are said. Fat Chance is normally said harshly and Slim Chance is normally said with less of a kick in it.

Well first they tried to dig the hole through the channel but it kept filling up with water. There was also a plan to dig the hole over the channel, but fortunately the administrators were sacked before anyone tried to implement this.

But what happened to the plan to use a line of large catapults to fling people and goods back and forth across the channel?
