Mr. Gray
AC is fixed. So can't wait to sleep tonight
Woke up at 3am and couldn’t take it anymore. Tore into it. Found a "reset"
So glad it wasn’t anything more serious
8:19 AM Mr. Silver
Speaking of cool...
8:19 AM Mr. Yellow
Good morning gentlemen
8:19 AM Mr. Gray
What does cool have to do with Mr. Yellow?
LOL
Morning
8:20 AM Mr. Silver
Well if Steve McQueen is the King of Cool
8:20 AM Mr. Silver
Mr. Yellow's at least in the Shire Reeve of Cool area
8:20 AM Mr. Gray
Good point Mr. Silver.
8:21 AM Mr. Silver
Parish Constable of Cool
8:21 AM Mr. Gray
LOL
Mr. Gray

12:07 PM Mr. Silver
(Mrs Great Wyrm Red Dragon) "Oh yeah? Well if you were really that great, there'd be a princess on the dinner table instead of another peasant girl."
"Aww, but honey..."
12:08 PM Mr. Gray
LOL
"And that knight you brought in last week! All that work to get it out of the can and it was just nasty and sweaty inside. Worthless, you are. I should have married that Blue Dragon like my mother told me too!"
12:37 PM Mr. Silver
hehehe
7:42 AM Mr. Silver
Love the bit on size and mass.
7:45 AM Mr. Silver
"Just one teaspoon, once a day, will keep you from feeling hungry forever. Try it for a week and see how you feel...Neutronium Nuts...the smart way to have breakfast."
7:45 AM Mr. Brown
Yeah
Wow that breakfast is sitting heavy in my stomach
So heavy I can't walk
7:59 AM Mr. Silver
I like this tag: http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/tag/bullshit-artist-rendering/
8:04 AM Mr. Silver
This is my favorite "BS Artist Rendering" entry in the tag so far (snicker): http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2010/08/mars-farming/
I think it might be shopped...
8:07 AM Mr. Mauve
I don't know; it's on the internet, so it HAS to be real.
8:07 AM Mr. Brown
Well there are alien eggs on the tops of those ships. That's not good.
8:07 AM Mr. Silver
"This rendering, submitted by NASA artist's sister's 7 year old, show's what the boy thinks farming on Mars might be like."
8:07 AM Mr. Brown
I was just going to say looks like a kid made it
lol
“Daddy taught me photoshop! Look what I made. “
“Wow NASA can use that! Thanks honey.”
8:23 AM Mr. Silver
Wow...this is fine competition: http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2009/10/robotarmada/
8:18 AM Mr. Mauve
How philosophical is everyone feeling this morning?
8:19 AM Mr. Silver
Philosophical mode is always in standby
Whatcha got?
8:25 AM Mr. Mauve
In regards to the philosophy of the mind, are you gentlemen more inclined to support the stance of dualism, monism, or some other viewpoint?
8:27 AM Mr. Mauve
See, I’m not sure where I stand, but i think a healthy look at what other people think, might help me decide... now there's a bunch of dead guys, who spent their whole life arguing one way or another, but I just wanted to see what you guys could come up with.
8:43 AM Mr. Mauve
Basically philosophy of the mind asks what comprises the human mind. Is there a mind-matter separation, or is it all matter working in some degree to comprise thought.
8:44 AM Mr. Silver
Oh this? This is a toy
The real stuff is “outside”.
The "man in God's image" stuff isn't even in this realm.
8:44 AM Mr. Brown
The fact is if we are really not using all of the physical mind. Then it would be hard to comprehend how much of the spiritual mind we are not using
8:46 AM Mr. Silver
I think what we are allowed to think and recall is confined by the rules of the mechanism.
8:52 AM Mr. Silver
It's like playing a game...you are frustrated by a stupid mechanic forcing you to make a jump of 2', and if you miss you hit the water and "drown" (true game example: “Darkened Skye”) and you are screaming "Why can't I just step over there???"
The screamer is your Gros Bon Ange. The guy on the screen is you, here.
8:53 AM Mr. Brown
Kinda like having a thought right on the tip of your tongue by you cannot get it right when you need it.
8:56 AM Mr. Brown
I always run into the situation of a very complex thought that cannot be verbally stated
8:56 AM Mr. Silver
Yes, I get that.
I also discovered that some of the "alien thoughts" I've had are experienced by others. I consider them "hints" this isn't the real world.
#1. The occasional bafflement by a missing "third sex". Male, female and 'I don't remember'.
#2. "Why am I walking (or driving) when I can just BE there anytime I want? This is so SLOW!"
10:43 AM Mr. Silver
So you missed out on philosophy this morning, Mr. Blue.
Sorry
10:43 AM Mr. Blue
Oh yeah?
10:44 AM Mr. Silver
There was rather a lot and it got jumbled
10:44 AM Mr. Blue
Anything you'd like me to chime in on?
10:48 AM Mr. Brown
Jake do you think your mind is doing the thinking or your spirit?
10:48 AM Mr. Blue
Define 'spirit'
And show me evidence that there is one.
10:48 AM Mr. Silver
Hehe. See, this would have been good earlier
10:48 AM Mr. Brown
Spirit would be more like an energy kind of thing
10:49 AM Mr. Silver
Jebus...I don't even agree with that
10:49 AM Mr. Brown
lol
10:49 AM Mr. Blue
Then call it 'energy' instead of 'spirit'
10:49 AM Mr. Mauve
Whoa... you're getting all scientific on us Mr. Brown... define 'thing'
10:49 AM Mr. Blue
'Spirit' sounds like soul to me, and there's no proof that there is a soul, and no reason to believe there is one
10:49 AM Mr. Silver
Try it this way: Is your thought process hardware or software?
10:50 AM Mr. Blue
It's the brain. it's neurons firing in your dome
10:50 AM Mr. Silver
Are you wired a particular way to have your thoughts and decisions. (ROM)
10:50 AM Mr. Blue
Yes
10:50 AM Mr. Silver
Or is your brain merely a general processor and the consciousness is maintained and does the thinking using that processor? Whether the consciousness is internal or external is irrelevant to the question. (RAM)
10:53 AM Mr. Blue
No reason to believe in a spirit or soul in this day and age
10:53 AM Mr. Silver
Yes, but are you RAM or ROM?
Personally I think the pure ROM-ers are silly.
I had that argument in some philosophical class in college once.
"Well, then you're just a blob with no mind then, making noise. I don't talk to machines. Bye."
10:55 AM Mr. Mauve
This was the idea I wanted to explore
10:57 AM Mr. Silver
Bart: “What is the mind? Is it just a system of impulses or is it something tangible?”
Homer: “Relax. What is mind? No matter. What is matter? Never mind!”
11:09 AM Mr. Blue
I’m of the school of thought that we don't have as much control over our actions as we like to think we do; possibly no control at all. No free will.
Mr. Blue
(And etc...meanwhile on the other side. - Mr Silver)
11:51 AM Mr. Silver
Sad to say...not much "win" today so far, blog wise
11:51 AM Mr. Blue
Nah
11:52 AM Mr. Silver
I'm not keen on this "bore the hell out of readers" strategy
I might just cut it down to a small section of some good bits and include a link to Monty Python's "Philosopher Song"
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_WRFJwGsbY – Mr. Silver)
11:56 AM Mr. Blue
I remember hearing a lot of Sir Mix-a-Lot here at one time.
"My anaconda don't want none unless you got buns hon." reeks of professionalism.
12:05 PM Mr. Blue
"You can do side-bends or sit-ups, but please don't lose that butt." - Nietzsche
12:06 PM Mr. Silver
Good t-shirt
Perhaps with a picture of Mark Twain
12:09 PM Mr. Blue
Indeed. How about:
"Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence." - Jesus (Mark 22:14)
With a picture of Mohammad
12:10 PM Mr. Silver
"((Girl + (Itty bitty waist))* V) + ((2Pi*(R sqr) * thing) tan (your face)) = Sprung" - Einstein
12:12 PM Mr. Mauve
/me is not entertained
12:13 PM Mr. Blue
I am, and that's all that matters
12:14 PM Mr. Silver
As a standup comic, Mr. Blue would be all about making himself laugh on stage.
12:14 PM Mr. Mauve
Sounds awesome!
12:15 PM Mr. Blue
I can't be bothered trying to make OTHERS laugh
12:21 PM Mr. Silver
(Mr. Blue) "I thought of this joke once about a rabbit and an electrician...hilarious! I couldn't breathe! Still KILLS me! HAHAHA! ... Then there was this movie I watched once about this fisherman dude? Man! I had to pause it a bunch of times! HAHAHA!"
12:37 PM Mr. Brown
12:37 PM Mr. Blue
^That's what got me started on Asterix and Obelix, Mr. Silver.
(Irrelevant side conversation about A&O films. Nothing worth repeating in it. – Mr. Silver)
That guy looks like a big fat idiot.
12:37 PM Mr. Silver
lol
12:38 PM Mr. Blue
And I’ve never seen him in anything that didn't totally suck.
12:38 PM Mr. Silver
"French Actor Depardieus On Plane"
(Incidentally, I recall liking Depardieu in "Vatel" a lot. -- Mr. Silver)
1:36 PM Mr. Brown
1:36 PM Mr. Blue
"For when life hands you Vladimir Lenin.."
1:37 PM Mr. Brown
lol
1:38 PM Mr. Silver
I want some of those Leninades!
1:42 PM Mr. Blue
http://imgur.com/gallery/1fN8R hey Mr. Silver, why wouldn't this work?
1:45 PM Mr. Silver
What...a magnetic drive like that?
1:47 PM Mr. Silver
The attraction is only between the magnets...you'd have to propel the first magnet forward with more mass than the vehicle itself.
1:43 PM Mr. Mauve
What would life be like... if we smelled in colors?
1:43 PM Mr. Blue
What, you don't?
1:43 PM Mr. Mauve
… Considering I’m wearing brown, I’m glad I don't
1:45 PM Mr. Silver
You wouldn't comprehend a difference, of course
1:48 PM Mr. Mauve
How about those savants that see the world in shapes and numbers... that's something that's interesting.
1:53 PM Mr. Pink
Did you see that special with that girl that could taste sounds?
1:54 PM Mr. Blue
And there was that guy that could control his body temperature to the extent that he ran a 5 k in Alaska in the winter time with no shoes or socks on
1:56 PM Mr. Silver
Cool!
...or warm.
