Phi for All

I'll bet when the dust settles we'll find out that Gary Schools Superintendent Mary Steele was at the prom and wore the same dress.

What seems most strange about this is that Kevin Logan dressed as a girl every day of his senior year. Although it doesn't mention him wearing dresses in particular, it seems strange for the Superintendant's office to cite dress codes as the reason for banning him. Personally, I think Kevin needs professional help. A backless fuchsia gown with his skin tones? Pul-lease.

It was the theoretical physicist he hired that mentioned ZPE, and he said it *acts* like it, which is a really strange comment. *IF* he had a NASA contract, I'm sure it was invalidated as soon as he mentioned it in his video. Oh, those Arabs, so dark and sinister and... oily. Their $1Bn offer has been withdrawn since this video came out and the whole world now knows the combination to his keypad security system is 14752.

Yes, because we have oodles of time to follow up on these kinds of things. Let's close this one.

No. Like I said, I thought it was Fermi.

Terrible! There are many reasons to get out and vote and being paid to isn't one of them. Pay me to elect someone to represent me?! I don't think so.

Doesn't Sergio Rovelli already have a moustache? Too late! Better stop shaving, poster boy.... Hope you got your dragon on floppy, Pinky-Winky! When's your vacation this year? evil:D

My sense of humor can be measured in Planck lengths and I will ban anyone who mocks me. I put the rant in tyrant and I'm going to draw moustaches on the Fermi posters Martin hung on the walls of the Staff Lounge for even suggesting this. I also smashed gcol's iconoclast so now he'll have to take the bus to work. As for the rest of you: You're on my list, mister!

You've been trying for years? Since the rooms are square the tiles are even multiples, like 4x4, 5x5, 6x6, etc. There's probably a formula but you can just keep multiplying numbers by themselves to find the answer. Or find a multiplication table that goes up that high. Her multiple is only one higher than his multiple, if that helps you with a starting point.

I don't think anyone but you and I thought "best" in the thread title meant "highest probability of actual success". This should have been, "What's your best 'make your buddies laugh but get utterly shot down by the girl' line?" As today's poor geek is bent over his PDA furiously calculating his chances of picking up the beautiful girl, natural selection hops nimbly over him....

No offense, but to recap, this is what I understand so far: You had an idea for a perpetual motion device that defies conventional theories of physics (no problems there, theories change when new discoveries are made). You met with some skepticism, some of it not so nice (natural, since no one else has ever made one work, but perhaps discourteous). You made a prototype that cycles twice before it's motion ceases (problem here, since I can make a device that will complete at least twenty cycles before stopping, using a rubber band and a pencil). You come back with a picture of the prototype which, according to you, should "paint this post black" and make us all feel tiny and insignificant in the shadow of your greatness. This device only completes two cycles but would go forever it it had more wood and metal in a circle (I'm assuming you don't mean enough to make an "infinitely big" circle). I'm always amazed that we lesser minds always fail to grasp the greater concepts when shown a picture of them. We've all been waiting for someone to come along with this very invention, using inexpensive 2x4 technology and a willingness to defy the law in a quest for the greater good. Salutes, brothers, I hope the press does this story justice.

Feh, unlike wine, the blood of a vanquished foe is best when fresh and unaged. And since you're likely to get more than 5 liters, maybe that's why a loving cup has two handles....

How can minds *in college* be so closed?

... or mead, ale, blood of the slain. I'm sure it dates back quite a ways. They're also called Loving Cups, and they were used in ceremonies where they were filled and passed around to all in attendance.

I'd bet money it has something to do with drinking.

"Exactly. ( ) I could see it too if you let me sit a little closer...."

"Pick up lines don't work on classy women. Would you mind telling me what you find attractive over a cup of coffee?"

This is getting to be so typical of the media. They should be getting Pulitzer's for fiction. And so many of these little lies and generalizations go completely unnoticed. I hate it when selling the script is more important than reporting the facts.

Are you suggesting a connection between the concepts of ZPE and multiple dimensions? AFAIK, ZPE is just a hypothesis that the seemingly empty space between matter has an extremely small amount of heat in it, barely above absolute zero, but since their is such an incredibly vast amount of this space the energy involved is equally incredibly vast. I don't know that ZPE has been linked to M or Srting theory though.

"You need a foot massage. Go take your clothes off while I do the dishes."

It's also a type of dress, to go from one gear to another, to move an object from one place to another, to change case in typing, or to move abruptly without apparent cause or warning (I'm sure there are others). There's also shifty, meaning devious or evasive, which must be from the moving abruptly without apparent cause or warning definition. Sorry, probably too much information.

"I believe in priorities. Go out with me and you'll always come first."

I've read this as well. And yes, doing something every day for 21 days is supposed to fix the pattern in your brain and make it much easier for you to continue to do it.
