Night TL :) RE: Now

Night TL :)

Now look, I can SHOW anniet the video of what's-her-face going around in circles on a swivel chair.


Yes. Well *polite anniet smile* Please don't :) When you floated her into the thread, tbret, I had no idea how you had come up with her. As things like that happen to me a lot I didn't question it.

I even went for a little surf,

...and did unusually well for a change.

Normally it's a haphazard affair of flopping face down in the sail with the grace of a dead fish, or parting company with the whole darn contraption in a windmilling limb event before it knocks me on the head. This time I managed to cling on long enough to plummet scintillatingly into the oblivion of a "nothing to see here" hyperlink for which I can now say I am very very grateful. :)

If what there was to see there is what you've just described then no wonder it reduced you to your knees begging to be wrong. It leaves me wondering "what were your search terms?"

"pictures of scientists in swivelly chairs" is what springs to mind.

I wish I had been so... inspiringly devious in setting this task for you all. That I am clearly amongst masters and still have a lot to learn is self evident :) I commend you. Believe me, one day, this will come back to haunt you :)

As for this...

...it might have at least a tangential relationship to past conservation of momentum and the big bang.

*leave room in attempt to stifle lol's* Just how many straws are you prepared to claw at to salvage something from your mingboggling efforts?

So Mike :) good nosing... I see you made some adjustments to your calculations :)

I still see a little error... and some considerable floundering in the middle. It's a bit like the 186.48 miles that you were out in your first calculations :) (that's assuming you don't have to walk round anything and can walk on water of course like Bill Dickey couldn't... nor Raemer Schreiber and Lieutenant Colonel Peer de Silva the day they left Kirtland Army Air Field to go to the island of Tinian for that matter. :) which should help confirm things for you.)

But lets not dwell on small mistakes :) You've come up with a name :)

Well done!! :)

Quote:

The hole in right field is a hole in a line, a black line, and so a black hole ...

John Archibald Wheeler

... he coined the term "black hole", he worked on the Manhattan Project and later on "The Super" ie. fusion bomb, he's a theoretical physicist, he's dead, and .....

I'm learning so much here! :) Do go on...

Quote:

..... I'm either red hot right or red hot wrong. The data plot upside-down looks like a mushroom cloud?

( edit ) Plus Wheeler was a good mate of Einstein, did GR, & was friendly with Kip Thorne who originated the LIGO IFO designs : which is represented by the bloody axes on the Inner Heisengberg plot !! Wheeler and Thorne proved the "Hoop Conjecture" regarding spinning black hole singularity topology. The hoop singularity looks like the circular cloud, not the mushroom bit, after a fusion bomb crack off. :-)

Oh look everyone ^ he did... :)

Quote:
( edit ) I'm going for a lie down. Correction : going for a drinkies and then having a lie down ....

Yes you do that :)

And let's not dwell on big mistakes written in bid red typeface either :) VERY nice try though... a round of applause for Mike I think!!! Here... have a twinkly star!! :)))))

Oh and before I go... apropos whether I'm feeling kind... again... perhaps just a bit :) but long enough to say Season Five anyway :)

Please wait here. Further instructions could pile up at any time. Thank you.

A star.

A Twinkly Star.

A Flamin' Twinkly Star.

So no in-the-bulls-eye-ten-ring-at-last-he-bloody-well-got-exactly-the-right-answer style of star then. Not one of those kind. The wrong variety I see. Vy didn't you tell the vorld, eh? :-)

Please. No applause thanks. Just a simple Whoopity Golf Clap will suffice here. That will be quite adequate to compensate for the entire inner-brainal lobe that I have [strike]slaved[/strike] [strike]sacrificed[/strike] [strike]slaughtered[/strike] assigned to this puzzle. Perfectly appropriate. I had put that particular lobe aside for a later occasion to do my Nobel work, but not to worry. I'm sure I will find another one that will do as good.

*thin & taught John Cleese intense stare*

Excellent.

[psychotic break]
I can feel the answer. It's around here somewhere. I can smell it. It will seriously suffer when I find it. Of all the answers ever found in the Universe for ever and ever, it will seriously suffer when I snatch it. I have the big stick, Truly Ruly, I will hunt it down .... come here Answer ... come to Daddy ....


[/psychotic break]

Normal service resumed. I'm fine thanks. And dandy too. Yes dandy. Dandy is indeed the word to use. Yup. Thursday is Dandy Day. Dandy Thursday. Dandy, dandy, dandy. Dandy with Serenace ...

Cheers But With Apologies To John, Mike.

( edit ) Yes MAGIC. How appropriate a cartoon it is that you should slip in while I was composing this. Very topical. On the money. :-)

Season Five

Is it just me, or are the very walls mocking myself ... this could be anything from Walking Dead or Glee through Geordie Shore to Sons Of Anarchy, but I'll chance it that Anniet is one of those Game Of Thrones self flagellants. You know I stopped watching after they killed Sean. You cannot cut Sean Bean's head off. I don't care how many dwarves turn up. That is not right. No way. Not right.

Yes, I know :} *pat beehive* And yet... still no prizes for the minions are there? *look round at minions* isn't that always the way... :) So how about we put away our stars for a moment and welcome another "ahha", or: anniet helping hand appearance...? :)

...knitting needles. I was able to relax with a good (albeit sad) end of times book and reflect on where it got its already 19 year old name from when it was new, sandwiched as it was between what Dr Melfi said 46 years later.


Having only felt a little bit kind in my last two posts... for which I do not apologise :) I left you only the following snippets of information: "Aired 2004" and "Season Five". Feeling quite a lot kinder now... I proffer you this... Episode 10 :)

And for those still able to calibrate what remains between their ears, here is a HSSSTASYS to go with it :)

let me sing you a high note of praise for being the first to get your homework in... *DEEP breath* EEEEEEEEEEEe-


For those who are in something akin to terminal shock... here's a picture :) It works on... so many levels :)))) ...and if all you want to do is colour it in... that's fine :) I'm sure Mike will lend you his especially chunky crayons... the ones he can't fit up his nose nor insert into the side apertures of his main brain bendy bone.

And when you feel able to... why not tell us all what you see... that would be lovely :)

Keeping up with Magic's cartoon motif (Hi Magic :))

Here's a turkey that might lead to further steps along your meandering paths...

Any bells tolling in your heads? :)

Before I go and have another VERY LONG day :/ has anyone seen Chris lately?

I know he posted this a little while back...

Quote:
! went out to find myself once, but I got back before I returned and nobody asked me to wait.

...which is hardly surprising considering...

:) Hope everyone is having a lovely whatever time it is...

edit: forgot something... trouble is I haven't remembered it... :/

Please wait here. Further instructions could pile up at any time. Thank you.

Finally, and I know this is

Finally, and I know this is right :

Julius Robert Oppenheimer

Phew ! So a big clap to Anniet for an exceedingly well spun yarn. The long way around is the short way home. Touche ! :-)

Cheers, Mike.

ie. JRO was believed by nutters to be the 'the second coming', which is also the name of the poem by Yeats ( Irish ) quoted by Lorraine Braco as Dr. Melfi in The Sopranos Season Five, Episode 10. JRO was not helped here by the implosion bomb - The Fat Man - being called the "Christy gadget" after his student Robert Christy. Yeats was born in a June but died Jan 28th 1939.

A man known for somewhat longer quotes, Oppenheimer, after witnessing the first atomic explosion, said simply, "It worked."

The best witness immediate

The best witness immediate post-Trinity comment I reckon was by Kenneth Bainbridge :

"We are all a pack of bastards now"

... referring to what history's view of them would be.

How's the trains behaving Phil?

Cheers, Mike.

Oh yes, a rather big one, somewhat akin to a certain Whitechapel Foundry bell in the Queen Elizabeth Tower at the Palace of Westminster.

Hey I Love my lettuce, COS I do :-))

I did get back and found a message he left for me. It said "bought a pint on your tab, this was fun, must do it again". Haven't seen him since.
