Oh well, I'll survive. Perhaps.


the last sane person- I'll move the horse discussion here, as you said.
I have all quarter horses, three ranch bred ones and four show horse type bred ones. How old is your Arab?

Lord of the Flies is good. I just read that as well.

[The last sane person]

Obnavat is my baby boy alright!

I second that, and To Kill a Mockingbird is good too.

Schrodinger was a physicist. I'm not quite sure what he did except write some equation that smooths out quantum wavefunctions or something. However, to explain how quantum mechanics works, in that the only predictions that can be made are merely the probability of such outcomes, he used an analogy. A cat is placed in a perfectly sealed box so no measurements can be made as to its state of being other than any made prior to putting it into a box. Attatched to the box is a poison canister that is released by the decay of a certain atom that has a 50% chance of decaying within the hour. If it decays, it releases the poison, and if it doesn't, it does not release it. No matter the outcome, the state of the cat cannot be measured as dead or alive without observing the cat or the atom, which, being sealed, are unobservable. Therefore, the cat is both dead and alive as far as everyone is concerned. However, the flaw in this is that cats can probably accurately determine if they are dead or if they are alive, thereby destroying the wavefunction.

I think I said all of that wrong, but to be perfectly honest neither Brian Greene nor Stephen Hawking elaborated much on Schrodinger's Cat much in their books. I explained it real well recently, so if only I could find that explanation.

yes, but i believe Hawking was quoted somewhere as saying "If I hear "Schrodinger's Cat" once more, I'll shoot myself", or something along those lines...

Dan Savage
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Daniel Keenan Savage (born October 7, 1964 near Chicago, Illinois, USA) is an openly gay American sex advice columnist, author, media pundit, journalist, and newspaper editor. His strong opinions pointedly clash with both traditional conservative moral values and those put forth by what Savage has been known to call the "gay establishment." Savage has also worked as a theater director, both under his real name and under the name Keenan Hollahan, using his middle name and his grandmother's maiden name.


Savage Love

Savage is best known for penning the internationally syndicated relationship and sex advice column "Savage Love". Its tone is humorous, profane, and on occasion hostile to conservative people, as in the Santorum controversy.

The idea for the column began while Savage was living in Madison, Wisconsin, and working as a manager at Four Star Fiction and Video,[citation needed] a popular local video store that specialized in independent film titles. A friend from The Onion newspaper, which was also based in Madison, was launching The Stranger, and Savage suggested it should have an advice column, not knowing that he would be offered the position.[3]

Savage stated in a February 2006, interview in The Onion's A.V. Club section (which publishes his column) that he began the column with the express purpose of providing mocking advice to heterosexuals. "Forever, I'd read letters that had been written to straight advice columnists from gay people. Sometimes the advice was okay, but often it was clueless about gay issues or gay people or gay sex or gay rights. And I just thought it would be funny for once if there was an advice column written by a gay person where straight people had to get slapped around or treated with contempt."[3] Savage wanted to call the column "Hey Faggot!" His editors at the time refused his choice of column name, but for the first several years of the column, he attached "Hey Faggot!" at the beginning of each printed letter as a salutation. After the first year or so, he moderated the tone of the column and tried to provide more helpful advice.

Recently, he has written in a number of columns about "straight rights" concerns, such as the HPV vaccine and the morning-after pill, saying in his November 9, 2005, column that "[t]he right-wingers and the fundies and the sex-phobes don't just have it in for the queers. They're coming for your asses too."

Ah, Dan Savage. My hero for many years. I celebrate you!

[trolls' bane]

I don't know if I've made the public announcement, but now, in addition to Rohirrim TR's internal and external irreplaceable help, I have an Exo-Entmootian spreading Brendonianist ideas, thus bringing about the creation of Brendonintern.

So, I announce the official appointment of Leesy, Minister of Foreign Propaganda and Thought-Suggestion.

[klatukatt]

What is Brendonism?

[jammi567]

Butterbeer, clean out your bloody PM box. i really need to speak to you privatly.
