    Random Thoughts
Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around the splitting of larger threads to alleviate server load, specifically continuing the Random Thoughts thread. Participants express their thoughts on various topics, including the emotional impact of the game Bioshock: Infinite, which one user describes as "haunting." They discuss the game's cover art, noting the absence of the female co-lead, Elizabeth, from the front cover, and reference an interview with Ken Levine that suggests this was a marketing compromise. The conversation shifts to personal anecdotes, including family dynamics and humorous observations about everyday life, such as experiences at McDonald's and the challenges of parenting toddlers. The thread features a blend of light-hearted banter, reflections on gaming, and casual storytelling, highlighting the community's camaraderie.

Anybody familiar with the qeqqqqqqqzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz theorem?

Don't know it myself, but I understand it's all the rage among feline mathematicians.

Ladies and gentlemen, I've gathered you all here for a reason.

Today. Today is the day that my gold membership has expired. It all began six months ago. PF was still yearning for its 4,000,000th post, and our highest-in-command put forth a challenge: he who takes a screenshot of the PF home page upon its 4,000,000th post shall earn six free months of gold membership. That challenge was accepted and accomplished, and I was that man. Not taking lightly my newly founded responsibilities, I sought forth for a symbol which would describe the essence of my persona, something which, upon gazing, would be analogous with myself. For this reason, you have associated my being with that of a juice-box. One was blue, the other an orangish-color, representative of my ever changing moods.

Thus, with a heavy heart, and a longing nostalgia for what once was, I say good-bye to the juice boxes. I say good-bye to the ever-changing multitude of signatures, and lastly, I say good-bye to you.

I should write a wikipedia article on feline mathematics.

Be sure to put it in the right Wiki - http://uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/Laws_of_physics

I wonder how long it'll last if I actually put it there.

I think it's largely a matter of notation.

Since feline mathematicians, such as Ella Inez Fitzgerald Kotschessa [pictured below], do not have a way of handling superscript notation, they simply denote qeq7z37 by qeqqqqqqqzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Since cat domestication originated in Egypt, and egyptians wrote decimals as a series of unit fractions, it is not surprising that modern feline algebraists would take a similar approach to their notation.

What do you do to ease a pain and not think of it?

I hear ya, I've only had one experience of "pain" due to a slightly herniated disc.

The "battle" is very psychological imo. My condolences... it ain't easy. If I had chronic pain I think I'd learn to meditate to see if that practice would help ignore pain.

Just as an FYI, I have bad eyes.

I don't see much of a difference, except that everything looks a bit more linear.

And I love miss Dakota Cheese's watchful eyes. What a beautiful cat. :!)

If you're bored, take your camera and set it to the widest zoom setting. Then set it on your wrist and take a shot of your hand. Your hand will turn into a grotesque alien/monster hand. (I discovered this all on my own today. It's never been done before, and will go down in history.)

I am starting to hate facebook. Profile image can't have a white background, as it will be cropped by their algo.

I'm dangerously low on coffee. Dangerously low.

Well, as long as I'm heading out and about, I might as well get an x-ray of my ankle, while I'm at it. X-rays and coffee. And I'm about out of mayonnaise too. Mayonnaise, x-rays and coffee.

Oh and can you pick up some half-and-half while you're at the store?

The death of science
Long long ago a fire burnt
Once upon a time the great wheel turned
The fire is now lost,
The wheel has stopped long since
Leaving us with science to be mourned

The revival
As we mourn for it- that lost art
A man comes running torch in hand
Lighting up our dark gloomy land
And then he stands before that pyre whose fire we now mourned
With a throw he lights the pyre with the fire stolen from the heavens
And then he stands before the wheel whose motion we mourned
With a heave he moves it -that unmovable wheel
The fire burnt the wheel turned
And we rejoiced
He began to leave then -that torch bearer
We sought him; thought to thank him
We asked what him what he would take as a fee (Oh wretched we!)
He asked a promise
Never let the wheel stop; Never let the fire be lost.
With that he turned back moving away.
We asked him his name and yet unanswering he moved away
But of names he has no dearth of
Some now call him Gallileo; some Newton, some Kepler, some Maxwell, some Einstein
Me? I call him Prometheus The Fire Bringer

Prioritized?

For me, as much as I love x-rays, coffee would be first. Mayonnaise is a definite last.
