Day 93 - The Current Middle Ages Hasn't Happened Yet, The Presidency Is A Job Not A Title, Did Mr. Gray Dig For Gothy Treasure?, Detention Is A Bitch Bub, Ultra Salad Bar, Mr. Silver Rants On Relativity Again, And Mr. Blue Sees The Translated Light

8:11 AM Mr. Silver
8:19 AM Mr. Silver
Looks fun.
8:20 AM Mr. Gray
I agree Mr. Silver. Hehe, I'm in!
8:25 AM Mr. Silver
Show up in a vault jumpsuit and pipboy
"Hey guys!  Got any Nuka?"
"Get the Hell outta here, you anachronist!"
So they're the "fun" apocalypse like the SCA is the "fun" middle ages.
8:27 AM Mr. Gray
So it seems
8:32 AM Mr. Silver
Consulting the ol' checklist: hungry, unhealthy, water dangerous, dirty, militants, bandits, psychos, either out in the sun all day or cramped into dirty boxes, traveling alone any distance nigh impossible, horrible roads, dressed in rags.
It's the same thing, really.
8:32 AM Mr. Gray
Yep LOL



11:01 AM Mr. Silver
Lord...
"is a title worth it? Does a title shackle a person?"
She doesn't even know what the job is.
11:04 AM Mr. Gray
She needs shackled.....to a wall in front of a firing squad.
11:07 AM Mr. Silver
(echoes of Julie Brown) “I just want to say that being chosen as this month's Miss August
is like a compliment I'll remember for as long as I can.
Right now I'm a freshman in my fourth year at UCLA,
but my goal is to become a veterinarian, cause I love children.”



12:20 AM Mr. Silver
http://www.wpxi.com/news/29327930/detail.html
Now I'm not making any accusations here...
12:21 PM Mr. Gray
Wasn't me!!
12:21 PM Mr. Silver
Two words...
Jager Blackout
12:22 PM Mr. Gray
LMAO
Well, I have no recollection....therefore.....wasn’t me
12:30 PM Mr. Silver
I sense a fine prank of standing near people at random graves and saying things like:
"The rumor is they buried him with gold coins." 
"Really?" 
"Eh...they went missing at the same time.  Well...rest in peace.  Let's go get some lunch."
12:31 PM Mr. Gray
LOL
1:06 PM Mr. Yellow
I notice how quickly Mr. Gray piped up proclaiming his innocence. "He doth protest too much?"
1:00 PM Mr. Blue
Hahahah, yeah.
Doesn't say if they took the body or anything. I wonder.
Probably not a whole lot left in there anyway.
(Note...Comments are based on lack of info. The text seems to have changed since we first read this – Mr. Silver)
1:13 PM Mr. Silver
Depends on how he was buried and how wealthy the family was.
What if it actually was a treasure the perps knew about...like a copper coffin?
1:15 PM Mr. Blue
*hides copper rings, teeth and belt buckle*
1:27 PM Mr. Silver
You have copper teeth?
1:27 PM Mr. Blue
I do now.



1:18 PM Mr. Gray
1:22 PM Mr. Silver
Putting Wolverine in charge....that'll go well
Or perhaps that's the idea...load him with administration crap so he doesn't kill people.
1:23 PM Mr. Yellow
Should work out fine. Toughen up those pansy-ass wannabe heroes.
1:24 PM Mr. Silver
"What do you mean the state banned corporal punishment, bub?"
Give him a rubber stamp for his student discipline letters that says "schnikk!"
(parent) "I don't get the stamp.  What does it mean, Mr. Howlett?" 
"It means in the old days I woulda killed him."



1:31 PM Mr. Blue
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megalodon#Consensus  How the heck were animals so friggin big back then?
1:32 PM Mr. Silver
Good question.
They have the skeletal structure to support them though, so it's not like gravity was lower.
In water, of course, it's less of a problem
1:34 PM Mr. Blue
I guess animals are big now too,
The largest animal to have ever existed being the present-day blue whale.
1:35 PM Mr. Blue
My favorite, just... unnecessarily large.
Think of how much Ultrasaurus would have to consume to grow and maintain all of that.. they must have wiped out whole forests.
1:44 PM Mr. Silver
There can't have been many of the things at the same time, I wouldn't think.
1:54 PM Mr. Silver
Eat a dozen trees a day and such
It could just be the food supply though...stuff just grew faster, like bamboo.



1:58 PM Mr. Blue
If the Earth stopped spinning, we'd still be pulled to the Earth by gravity, right?
2:11 PM Mr. Silver
Better hope it does it slowly, but yeah the masses would still attract.
I wouldn't want to be stopped at noon.
2:14 PM Mr. Blue
But the pull would be less, or more?
2:17 PM Mr. Silver
Haven't been able to dig much, but the answer seems to be "no change".
"You don't fall off at the North pole and it's barely moving."
2:18 PM Mr. Blue
Ah, never mind. I was wondering if maybe the Earth spun slower back then, resulting in less gravity, allowing bigger land animals.
2:20 PM Mr. Silver
The North Pole thing was one of my problems with relativity.
2:22 PM Mr. Blue
What's that?
2:24 PM Mr. Silver
Earth rotates 1040MPH at the equator.  Draw a small circle at the pole and put a marker on it and, just for grins, it moves 1 inch in 24 hours.
2:31 PM Mr. Silver
And then a 747 flies at about 550mph.
2:41 PM Mr. Silver
And if you believe in time dilation...flying in the plane makes time slower for the people aboard compared to everyone else...
So. Do clocks run slower on the Equator compared to the North Pole?
2:42 PM Mr. Blue
This points to a vast conspiracy and a flat Earth.
2:43 PM Mr. Silver
In question, if moving so relatively slowly, doesn't that point on the North Pole actually have time pass many many times faster as it is "barely moving" at effectively 0MPH versus 1040MPH?
2:44 PM Mr. Blue
Even though the Earth isn't rotating on its axis at the north pole (he's thinking magnetic – Mr. Silver), aren't we still moving pretty quickly around the Sun?
And isn't the Sun rotating around the center of the galaxy?
2:44 PM Mr. Silver
Yes.
2:48 PM Mr. Silver
But the terms are Earth based, with the 747 experiment.
So...with this rather simple thought experiment, it kinda makes me assume, again, that the physics god "Relativity" is all a bunch of hooey.
2:55 PM Mr. Silver
The full implications are rather nasty, after a fashion.
2:57 PM Mr. Blue
Is 550 mph really enough for a noticeable time dilation?
2:57 PM Mr. Silver
That's what is claimed.
Something surely happens...I admit they get their test results.  I just doubt it's what Einstein said it was, but they don't know what it really is, and it's mistaken as “time dilation”.
Time is not fluid.
Time is not stuff.
Time is a measuring system.
A yardstick doesn't change size.
And a second is 1 second long. Always. Everywhere.
That's the obvious mistake. Anyone who tells you differently is not measuring Time.
3:01 PM Mr. Silver
This theory of Relativity means that every mass in the universe is experiencing time at a different rate than every other mass.
It means that not only are our different cubicles far enough apart to make the passage of your and my personal time different...but that of my own two big toes are different. (And that of two side-by-side particles in my body.)
3:03 PM Mr. Blue
I think that Time in general is as misunderstood as Astronomy was 10,000 years ago, so it's futile to even think about it.
3:06 PM Mr. Silver
Futile...good word.
If one treated Time as Time, instead of Time as “magic fluid”, everyone would be happy and they'd solve some of physic's mysteries.
No more pondering why it doesn't work on the subatomic level, or in high gravity.
It just is and always was.
Real world scientists and engineers ignore it as inconvenient (if they fear saying “impossible”) already.
3:13 PM Mr. Silver
Heh...come to think of it, I think I read only yesterday:
"Well...Newtonian calculations aren't as comprehensive as Einsteinian ones, but they're good enough to get you to the Moon and back."
Red Flag!
3:15 PM Mr. Silver
Guess what! That's a physicist revealing that people in the real world are not using Einsteinian math, even for enormously complex real world projects that cost billions of dollars.
Done ranting, I think.
Have fun?
3:18 PM Mr. Blue
Yes.
No arguments here.



3:19 PM Mr. Blue
Hey, does EVERYTHING give off light, and that's how we see stuff, or is light just illuminating things, and that's how we see it?
Like, is the cup on my desk shooting light beams at my eye ball? Or am I only seeing the cup because of the light in the ceiling illuminating it?
3:20 PM Mr. Silver
Well.
You're seeing reflected light, yes.
And anything producing light.
Your visual spectrum is rather limited.
If you could see InfraRed, your PC would be a “light” source to you.
3:24 PM Mr. Blue
I see.
3:25 PM Mr. Silver
So are you, you produce your own heat. Probably be kinda crappy as illumination.
3:28 PM Mr. Silver
Unless your eyes were really good and could see that kind of energy, I mean.
3:30 PM Mr. Blue
If I could see in IR, my PC would be light, but not a source, right?
3:30 PM Mr. Silver
Oh it would be a source. But you need something to translate the heat energy to photons to see it with human eyes.
It's just the wavelength size is kinda big and stuff would be indistinct.
Like if you hold up a glow-in-the-dark toy, I can see it across the room but not what's around it, but if you hold it close enough to a piece of paper, you can read what's written on it.
3:32 PM Mr. Blue
Ah okay
3:32 PM Mr. Blue
So like, the reason I can see his beard is because of the light(heat) source behind it?
3:32 PM Mr. Silver
Yeah, but without that tool to translate the information into something you can see, the room is dark.
I was going to write a story about an alien race, where everything they had appeared black, but if looked at using radio frequencies had text and images on them.
I found out later that such a critter would need eyes the size of Godzilla's to see in that range...heh.

Day 92 - Alien Handjob Syndrome, Giant Swamp Beasts, Chimparillas, And Making A Mahatma Out Of A Mole Hill

  Mr. Brown
8:19 AM Mr. Silver
The best excuse for an assault hearing ever!
8:20 AM Mr. Brown
“I would like to sue my hand for excessive masturbation, cause I did not want to. It raped me.”
lol
8:21 AM Ms. Amethyst
Wow! TMI, Mr. Brown
8:22 AM Mr. Brown
Nowadays I could see a case like that happening to somebody with alien hand syndrome.
8:25 AM Ms. Amethyst
Yup
8:36 AM Mr. Silver
"May I approach the bench?  Thank you.  Your honor, I'd like to request this whole hearing be canceled.  You see, I have Alien Hand Syndrome and have no control over the viol- (SOCK!)-ent...sorry your honor...see what I mean?"
8:41 AM Ms. Amethyst
lol



12:16 PM Mr. Brown
12:26 PM Mr. Silver
 #17 is my fave
#37...woo!  Big girl!
12:28 PM Mr. Brown
Wouldn't surprise me if there are 500 pound snapping turtles out there.
12:29 PM Mr. Silver
"We'd like you to put on this diving suit and wiggle around to attract it."
"It'll eat me!"
"Nah...turtles don't like the taste of oiled canvas."
"Oh, okay... Wait!  He'd still have to bite once!"
"Caught me...(cocks revolver)...into the suit please."
12:37 PM Mr. Blue
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:GreatBlueHeroneatingturtle08.jpg  I found “Oscar”... seen here being held by the world's largest bird ever, “Misty”, with a wingspan of roughly a quarter of a mile long.



Mr. Brown
I wonder. If you put a chimp with a gorilla, if they mated would they have a hybrid?
They are close in DNA.
12:43 PM Mr. Blue
Are you attempting to invoke rule 34?
12:44 PM Mr. Silver
"Chimparillas" are the new "Liger"



Mr. Brown
“The Ghandi Monster” is the story I read
Sitting just barely outside my window, levitating, was the most horrifying
image I will ever see in my life.  A creature.  About 2 feet tall ..but
sitting Indian style.  His skin was snowy white and you could see the
outlines of his bones because he was THAT skinny.  He wore some sort of white
cloth draped sideways on his body.  (This is why I later named him the Ghandi
Monster.  My young mind thought his skinny body and his white cloth looked
like the real Ghandi's did.) This *creature's* head was too big for his
body.  But he was completely bald.  His two horrible, big, dark eyes were
piercing my soul as he stared at me.  He opened his mouth and grinned a grin
at me that haunted my dreams for years.  His mouth was full of long, snarly,
razor sharp looking teeth.  Dripping with blood.  I don't know how a mouth
could fit so many nasty teeth into it.  But it did.  I watched as the blood
dripped from his teeth and slid down his chin and onto his white cloth
"diaper" shorts.  He raised his hands and reached for me.  The fingernails
were at least 4 inches long, gnarled looking  and sharpened to points.  Also
dripping with blood.
Got an idea on the creature described there, Mr Silver?
2:33 PM Mr. Blue
Sounds made-up.
He's adding points that make the description biased.
"eyes piercing my soul" is highly subjective and not even worth repeating if describing a real encounter.
2:35 PM Mr. Silver
Well...if he didn't have a better way of expressing it than "creeped me out."
2:35 PM Mr. Blue
again, no point in adding that
2:36 PM Mr. Silver
Well it's certainly not written as an official police statement or collection of evidence.
2:37 PM Mr. Silver
Whether it was experienced for real or not, he's got a sense of drama.
Is this supposed to be fact, or just a ghost story?
2:37 PM Mr. Brown
Supposed to be a true ghost story, but there are a lot on this site so I know a lot of them are made up.
2:39 PM Mr. Silver
(Skimming)
Here's the deal...of all the bizarre paranormal stuff I've seen, it's all either:
Indistinct if wide awake
Indistinct if wide awake with flashes of detail in "mind's eye"
The creepy crawlies with flashes of detail in “mind's eye”
The creepy crawlies with no detail
Or was specifically in a state of altered consciousness and never occurred in the real world at all...the contents of which can be anything from images all the way up to fully realized environments.
And then I hear a tale like this.
And I think "drama" or "if it was real it was either a dream or a spontaneous trip into the SSC."
2:57 PM Mr. Silver
This one has all the clear elements and symptoms of "dreamed it".
2:58 PM Mr. Blue
Dreamed it, and then added to it as the years went by.
2:58 PM Mr. Silver
Yeah
"The Ghandi Monster was a story we didn't tell often...not after people started cutting me off and telling me 'Yes, we remember that one' anyway."
"Up til then I told it until I'd added about 5 more minutes of details."
3:01 PM Mr. Brown
I’ve had one scary dream in my life that scared the bejesus out of me.
3:01 PM Mr. Blue
Pussy
I mean, uhh, what happened?
3:02 PM Mr. Brown
It was like an alien abduction dream.
Very real feeling.
3:03 PM Mr. Silver
I've had a lot of scary ones.  Those tend to be my favorites when I wake up though
"Crap!  it's over!"

Day 91 - Jager-Bombed, More Perfectly Safe Plans From Governor For The D&D Game, Just A Ghost Of Proper Submission Rules, Pickled Poopers, Unidentified Flying Kites, There Be Dragons, And Native Americans Knew That A Proper Massacre Takes Time

8:38 AM Mr. Gray
You know how that stuff kills me (Jagermeister)
Anytime I'm already smashed and drink it, I lose the rest of the evening
A few bombs, no issue
Shots....done
8:39 AM Mr. Green
I just don’t want to see you get a DUI, or worse.  Never good when you can’t remember stuff.
8:40 AM Mr. Gray
I appreciate that...but she was driving, so all good LOL
Only have blackouts when I do Jager. Stuff is just bad for me LOL
8:41 AM Mr. Silver
"Your honor, I can't have been driving over the legal limit because I don't remember it...I’d remember something like that." 
8:41 AM Mr. Gray
LOL
Great Defense!!
"I wasn’t present at the time. I have no recollection of the events described by this woman regarding how the car ended up in the swimming pool"
8:42 AM Mr. Silver
"I submit that the officers knocked me out with a date rape drug and put me in the cell.  I want them charged with kidnapping."
8:45 AM Mr. Gray
LMAO YAY for reversal!!



(Yes, more D&D geekiness - Mr. Silver)
9:04 AM Mr. Yellow
I was bored Friday and was brain storming on how to separate Renwick from the Weave so he could travel the planes.
9:07 AM Mr. Yellow
Poor Renwick has been stuck on Faerun since he was a itty bitty wizard and never got to travel the planes.  So sad.
9:39 AM Mr. Silver
Governor will attach a Weave "String" to a (relatively) non-invasive implant and then you just have to leave jump beacons on either side of any gates the party might go through...simple.
As long as the beacons are undisturbed you'll be fine.
They look like little gold bricks that have an antenna on them and a flashing light.  He'll just write "Do not take" on the top.
9:41 AM Mr. Gray
LMAO
Gold Bricks? Nobody would take those if you wrote a note. Good idea
9:42 AM Mr. Yellow
Yes, that should work fine.

9:45 AM Mr. Yellow
If his soul is still attached to the Weave and that does not work we could sever his connection by turning him into a lich.  Then he would be tied to the negative material plane and we could then soul jar the phylactery into a clone.
lol
9:48 AM Mr. Silver
Eh...we just need to collect Renwick’s mind and put it into a mechanical body and forget the soul thing.  He sounds like a cool guy and Governor would totally trust a high intellect and magic power within a durable body with no conscience or sense of mortality. 
It'd be like one of those screwball comedies Clive Barker makes. 
9:50 AM Mr. Gray
LMAO
9:50 AM Mr. Yellow
LOL
9:50 AM Mr. Silver
Wait...wasn't Clive...who am I thinking of?  Woody Allen?

9:51 AM Mr. Silver
Easiest solution for Governor would be just to grab a good copy of Renwick and forget about the broken one.
9:53 AM Mr. Green
Oh no... Go back through time portal to before Renwick's accident?
That's scary.
9:53 AM Mr. Gray
LOL
9:54 AM Mr. Silver
Nah...It’s a cinch.  The problem is the hand-off to the right timeline.  But we're close on that one.  Close or successful I mean.  Actually, I never heard back from that version of Governor.
Anyway, you'd just have to download the mnemonic crystals into the beta original before the timeline expired and wiped them both.
Not a problem
"Wait...where'd Renwick just vanish to?" 
"Who's Renwick?" 
"Who's Renwick?" 



7:25 AM Mr. Brown
7:46 AM Mr. Silver
“This site was created 17 years ago as a safe place to share your stories with people who understand.”
The anonymity of the net wasn't safe enough?
7:47 AM Mr. Brown
lol
7:50 AM Mr. Silver
See...they talk about their rigorous photo rules, I'm all excited, and then the first two leave me sighing.
7:50 AM Mr. Brown
Yep
Bunch of smoke photos.
7:50 AM Mr. Silver
"smoke...finger..."
"photobomb"
The Sistine Chapel one is amazing because there are clearly no people in the shot
(You see any reason it's on this site?)
Oh...I see it
7:55 AM Mr. Brown
There is some dust there.
7:56 AM Mr. Silver
Orb...top center
But it's under the banner so it's merely a slightly whiter ball
7:56 AM Mr. Brown
yeah dust
7:57 AM Mr. Silver
The next is arched light coming through the arched window on the right.
Window...door...whatever.
8:00 AM Mr. Brown
The face in the Jesus picture is cool
8:07 AM Mr. Silver
Scary face doesn't fear Jesus.



9:19 AM Mr. Brown
Had some pickled peppers yesterday that Uncle Joe grew.  Wow!  I just unleashed napalm on the bathroom.
9:28 AM Mr. Silver
"Peter Piper pooped a petard of pickled peppers"
9:34 AM Mr. Brown
Lol
They were hot going in and hotter coming out, but they tasted sooo good.
9:37 AM Mr. Silver
They tasted so good coming out?
Bleh



10:07 AM Mr. Brown
10:46 AM Mr. Pink
Haha, where do you find these links?
UFO could be anything unidentified, not necessarily alien.
10:49 AM Mr. Silver
That's the U part, yes
10:50 AM Mr. Brown
It's a common term used to define alien though, so it’s just used every time they talk about it.
11:15 AM Mr. Silver
Donald Slayton, Mercury astronaut: “It looked like a kite!  Then a balloon!  Then a flying saucer!  And I thought "Whew!  Glad that wasn't a kite!" 
11:16 AM Mr. Brown
lol



1:11 AM Mr. Brown
If you scroll down the page, there is a picture of a big black creature under the water.   Not sure what it is either.  Might be a basking shark, or maybe a large frilled shark.
1:12 PM Mr. Silver
I believe it to be Oliver J. Dragon from the Kukla Fran And Ollie Show.
1:15 PM Mr. Brown
lol



1:45 PM Mr. Brown
2:12 PM Mr. Silver
"From this past event we know that the Natives were capable of such atrocities and also capable of hiding the bodies.  What’s interesting is that the Natives pulled all of that off in between less than a two year period."
However did they manage?
2:13 PM Mr. Brown
Right lol
2:13 PM Mr. Silver
I think any one of us here, solo, could wipe out and hide 14 bodies in coastal wilderness in...oh...a day or two?
Most of it digging the big hole and filling it in.
