Guess Who Wrote This? - A PF Game

  • Thread starter FZ+
  • Start date
In summary: The plain sight effect is when people talk about a person or topic without them actually being involved. This happens when people are so mesmerized by the person or topic that they are not paying attention to their surroundings. This can be a dangerous thing because it can allow people to be fooled. In summary, the game is to try and guess who posted a quote from a search for PF post in a given forum. The first person to get it right supplies another quote. The game is made easier by the requirement that the quote be from a common poster. There is a rule that the quote cannot be from the poster. The game is ended when someone supplies a quote that is not from a poster.

Correct. Now which forum was it in?

Dang! I didn't mean to snag the thread up like this! Do you want me to take it outta here to another thread? (Isn't there a Harry Potter thing hanging out there somewhere? Looking... YEAH! Greg! Are you out there? Zooby says Zantra!)
 
  • #44
It could only be said in general forum. No clue on the when
 
  • #45
the answer to the harry potter thing is selfAdjoint in mystics and pseudo science, my thread about magic.

i haven't been around here long enough to think of any funny quotes like yall have found, so one of you other nice people can just post one for me

Who posted?:
"Electrons don't go to school to learn quantum mechanics"

Hmmmm...I'm going to guess Mr.Robin Parsons.

Nope. Hint: Was at PF2
 
  • #49
Let's see... got to be Philosophy Forum, replying to one of Alexander's everything is physics I think...

Gee, I'm scared it might be me.

I am guessing LW Sleeth, but could be LG..
 
  • #50
Oh, people, can't you remember him? A great hater of all that include the word quantum
 
  • #51
Ah! Morp! It's morp, the guy who thought QM was a conspiracy specifically designed to confuse him...

Presuming I am right...

"Given that this Mind fulfils the requirements of omnipotence; omnipresence; and omniscience, I conclude that this is the Mind of God."
 
  • #52
In case you're right I'd have to laugh loudly and shout out loud: LIFEGAZER

If that is correct, try this one;

"Even so, the radio is only a receptacle. In which case how do we know that our mind is not just a receptacle either? Or, say part of a "grand stage," where everything is broadcast live? ... and we're just part of the "live" entertainment."
 
  • #53
Boulderhead, the answer to yours
is: Rene DesCartes.
 
  • #54
Bingo! It was morp in theory development
 
  • #55
Ah, FZ was right and I'm nearly 100% certain the quote FZ posted had to be from LG, so it is possible that I've got the ball again.

Sorry zoobyshoe, but that was not the member I pulled the quote from.

Here is another big, long, hint;

"As for the number 666, what it represents is two thirds, and hence the second of three degrees: the first being 0 to 333, the second being 334 to 666, and the third being 667 to 1000. Which would be about right, for if you portrayed a symmetrical cross, where the top, bottom, left and right (sections) were equal in length, then by adding "an extension" equal in length at the base, you would have these same three degrees portrayed by the height of the cross: where the first two degrees (666 and below) exist below the horizontal plane, or "cross beam," and the third degree (667 and above) exists above it. So in this respect the number 217 (as opposed to 216) would be similar to 667."

When I read this only one member comes to my mind. How about you?

Not to side track but going back to that entropy quote, I'll go with philophy forums- though I find that hard to believe- I didn't see him in there much- of course he left just as I was getting started

This sounds a little like Qantumcarl, except that he usually makes more sense and this thing is just bizzare.

Nope. It was in How Stuff Works. Here's another of my favorites:

Who said this?

"I once got drunk with some illegal aliens. Then I think I lost my car for about six hours."

Artman,
It was not QC.
 
  • #61
Could people focus on 1 quote rather than several quotes.
 
  • #62
BH: Sounds like Iaachus in Philosophy I think. Barring that, religion.

Right about LG of course. It is obviously from the start of LG's infamous "Proof for the existence of god..."

Maybe we are getting too many philosophy ones?
 
  • #63
FZ,
Yes, it was Iaachus in religion. :smile:

Ya that one was pretty trasparent- I could have easily made the same guess (so why didn't I?..grrrr)

Uh... is it my go?

It reminds me of one of our faviorite crackpots, he's been gone for a long time, Fellow called himself Donde, had his own definition of Pi.

Did he insist that (Pi)(rround), not square?
