there are several things I don't understand about this
did anybody else see it?

Are you sure you linked to the right page?

It says this:

# start a business selling physics
Laws of motion on sale—everything must go! Buy one fermion, get one free! Over 10500 string theories in stock!

 

[Evo]

Yeah, but I was expecting an article or something.

Yes, there are several things I don't understand about this. Marcus saw it.

I would recommend not trying too hard to understand it. Way more effort than necessary.

Actually any effort would be too much

Someone found my blog by searching google for "start a business selling physics". (All the boldface strings are searches that led to my blog.) I thought this was funny and made some silly comments about a hypothetical business that sells "physics". It's nothing profound or meaningful.

Yes, but how did you find out we were discussing it such that you came over here and joined up just to explain it?

Someone could have seen it and told him or he could have been lurking until now. I think it's nice that they took time to respond.

I could see from my referrer log that I was getting hits from this page. (This is also how I knew about the google searches that my blog post was about.)

 

[zoobyshoe]

Mystery solved. Except it's still not clear what, specifically, had Marcus confused.

 

[Moonbear]

I thought it was pretty funny. I'm more interested in who was searching about getting drunk in two dimensions though. I'm not sure what confused Marcus though. Maybe he didn't read the first sentence that explained what it was and just stumbled on it?

 

[zoobyshoe]

I wonder what a person would pay for a law of motion. I could set up a booth at the swap meet.

 

[marcus]

several people asked what I didnt understand
to clear that up
it was that I tried searching google with keywords "start a business selling physics" and maybe some others (I don't remember) and I did NOT come across Arcane Gazebo.
so what I don't understand is were those other people using some non-google search engine? or were they looking harder, like in the 2nd or 3rd page of hits, which i hardly ever look at?

 

[zoobyshoe]

Now I understand. I didn't even try it.

is the whole site like a blog? for some reason I've been reading a lot of random bloggy thingies like this recently. i don't get it. people spend so much time on them. usually they're filled with so many inside jokes that its not very fun for me, a stranger, to read.

i thought the google searches were pretty funny though. reminds me of how i found pf. i think I'm going to google some interesting things and see what i find.

 

[Gale]

so i was looking around that site... WEIRD. i found some site called like "learn semi conductor physics from britney spears. and it looks like a joke, but the physics is real, and it has some story about some old famous actress and i don't know if its real either. then i went to the britney chat and some 42 year old ex pro baseball player is hitting on me...

 

[zoobyshoe]

then i went to the britney chat and some 42 year old ex pro baseball player is hitting on me...

Yeah, I hate when that happens.

 

[Gale]

well zoob, i know I've always said i was only 18, but really, I'm 44, and have i ever mentioned how cute you were? oh, by the way, i once played for the st louis cardinals. yeah, that's pro. what are you said we head on over to my place and i'll show you my old trophies sugar.

and it has some story about some old famous actress and i don't know if its real either.

Probably Hedy Lamarr "In 1942, at the height of her Hollywood career, she patented a frequency-switching system for torpedo guidance that was two decades ahead of its time."

Oh that's just sick, some old perv trolling a Britney Spears chat room looking for teenagers.

 

[zoobyshoe]

Yeah, they're always hitting on me when I'm over there trying to enjoy a pleasant Britney Spears discussion with some hot, young teen babe.

 

[Gale]

yeah hedy lamarr, but that's not her real name. she changed it cause she did some racy movie in the beginning of her career. so that's a true story eh? that's pretty crazy. she's a really pretty girl. and she knew hitler according to the britnery spears site.

and yeah, it was gross. i went back a bit later, and there was like 4 guys in there and two girls named "sexygurrrll" or "hotbabe" i was like.. yeah, ook. and the first guy i talked to was like "i'm just a harmless pervert, its ok." i was like wow.
