543 - Crater Creator, God Is My Operator, and "Highlander: The Anticlimax"

[12:33 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
I love how China still cannot predict where that space station is going to hit
[12:37 PM] 
I loved the map from...yesterday?
"It's going to come down anywhere from here to here." 
(Entire globe except the poles)
[12:38 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Yep
lol
[12:38 PM] 
"People in Antarctica will be safe."
[12:38 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
The latest is them saying if its going to hit your country, we will tell ya.
See it streaming across the sky towards you.
[12:39 PM] 
Phone rings...
[12:39 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
It's in your country.”
[12:39 PM] 
(Chinese astrophysicist one phone) "We...uh...kept getting a voicemail error."
[12:39 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
lol
I don't think all of it will burn up, it is rather large
We don't normally get a lot of space junk and meteors landing around here
[12:54 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
cuz it burns up
Most of it probably lands either in the oceans or the arctic/antarctic since that comprises like 85% of the earth's surface
[12:55 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
I was just thinking of the places that see the most stuff coming down, like Russia
[12:55 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
It's the biggest place so it'll see the most
Apparently there are zero impact craters in Pennsylvania
which means we're due
[1:00 PM] 
It's spelled doomed, not due
[1:04 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
lol
Maybe the way the earth rotates, we just don't get hit
[1:05 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
Quebec has a bunch, but it's pretty big
the ones in Quebec are massive and obvious too
[1:24 PM] 
"Nothing-to-See-Here Circle Lake"
Wonder what ancient people thought about these perfect circles. 
Sort of wonder...be fair, I know legends of them.
I guess I'm maybe more interested in the middle people.
[1:41 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Ancient man standing on top mountain seeing large round crater, thinks back to when he was sitting on the beach and got up. hmm I leave crater were my balls were. yep must be the Great Spirit's balls crater.
This is a special place
[1:41 PM] 
The people who were not steeped in mythology...but not heavy science believers
"Uh...God did it?"
"Why?"
"It's...a mystery?"
[1:42 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
this one touches on it in the last paragraph https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serpent_Mound_crater
[1:58 PM] 
Serpent Mound...
2 nights ago, Mrs. Silver calls out from other room: "You know what the Serpent Mound is?"
"Yes!" 
...
...
...
"You wanted me to tell you...didn't you?"
"YES!"
"Sorry.  Its - (etc)"
[2:00 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
That's where the natives killed a giant snake and buried it
lol
[2:00 PM] 
heh
"It's a big ol' mound of serpents."
[2:01 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
That anaconda did not want none
And so after the Serpent Mound was made, women throughout the tribe that had buns were brought to the mound to see if they were worthy.”



[1:42 PM] 
Oh, before I forget
Magic Mrs. Silver...
Camera, day before yesterday – Took a picture of Silver Junior on the fully charged battery. 
Yesterday AM, – wanted to take an Easter morning photo of Mrs. Silver
"You will NOT take a picture of me."
"Oh come on." (THUNK!)
Broom has fallen right behind me. 
"You bumped into it."
"I was nowhere near it.  Look."
"Huh..." 
I leave...sneak around the corner when she isn't looking.  Hold up the camera.  Put my finger on the button...
And it turns off. 
Go to turn it on.
"Charge Battery"
"This was FULL!"
(looks) "What?"
"You DRAINED the bloody BATTERY to keep me from taking a picture!" 
"Hmmm.  There's another battery.  It's charged."
"No.  I want to take some pictures and I'm not having you kill the second one too."
(the end)
[1:47 PM]  Mr. Brown.:
Shut off your spiritual energy for a moment, I would like to take a picture
[1:48 PM] 
yup
[2:36 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
I bet if i thought back hard enough i can find times i have done something
probably all of us, actually
She seems to be more in tune though
[2:38 PM] 
She can be downright creepy
She had two people she gave tarot readings to call her  last week.  In the one case it was a "that will never happen" rejection, and the other the two of them tried to interpret the results and couldn't explain the reading. 
Both calls were "OMG you were absolutely correct and it made no sense at all at the time!"
[2:40 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
I have moments of clairvoyance. I think everybody does
[2:40 PM] 
Yes
(because this is a sim)
That came up yesterday
[2:40 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
i get a lot of Deja Vu
[2:42 PM] 
Two of us had this story: 
"One day I picked up the phone and there was someone on the other end already.  When I said hello, it was the person I intended to call.  They had also intended to call me.  Neither of us had dialed any numbers yet."
Absurdly impossible.
Proof this isn't real. 
[2:43 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Oops” says the people in control, “we connected that a little too quick.”
[2:43 PM] 
It is beyond far-fetched to even make contact with another person even if the phone services somehow managed to screw up and leave open lines between two people.
On top of that, have it be two people who know each other.
On top of that, those two people intended to call each other and at the same time.
POG
[2:44 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Personal Ocular Guidance?
[2:49 PM] 
"Proof Of God", Mr. Brown
I'd use "POS" (Proof of Sim) but POS means something else more useful in daily life
POSOS?  “Proof Of Sim Or Something”?
POP "Proof Of Puppeteers"?
Eh.  POG appeals to the more heavily religious.  I'm a spiritual fellow but not very religious
Tell a Catholic a "Proof of God" and they'll hug you. 
"Proof its all an illusion in a simulator" and they'll hang you.



[2:11 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
i didn't know Jason Clarke was Australian
he only does American accents
[2:31 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Well Christopher Lambert is French
just learned English for the Highlander stuff
lol
[2:31 PM]
Sort of
[2:49 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
You ever see the sequel?
[3:11 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
I have seen all the highlanders
[3:12 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
Is 2 bad?
[3:12 PM] 
2 is bad
Bad enough i stopped there
[3:13 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
They go down hill after 1
Same thing basically, just new foe
[3:13 PM] 
(Sean Connery voiceover) “We fought for thousands of years for a sucky prize”
Much like Midichloreans...
They took a perfectly good mystical setting with little to no explanation of the meaning and impetus of the Immortals and their drive to finish the Quickening...
And said "We'll make them aliens and they won't remember."
non-spoiler...they pretty much tell you right away
[3:18 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
SCIENTOLOGY
Win the prize – “You're an alien”
hmm
But is the last one really the winner?
[3:22 PM] 
"I won mortality. And...um...some sort of awareness thing? It wasn't worth it.”
(Sean Connery voiceover) "And so...armed with the power of The Quickening as 'The One', McLeod settled into his antiques business until he died, absolutely terrified of being hurt the first time he cut himself in the kitchen making dinner."
(Scottish with French accent) "It's ne healin'!  It's ne healin'!" 
(Roxanne) "JEsus...it's a little nick.  I'll get a Bandaid."
[two weeks later] 
"Know what?  I'm out.  You've been hiding under a blanket since you bumped your toe and I've had enough."
"But it HURT lass!  It HURT! Ye canna ken!"
Yes I can. Welcome to everyone else's experience.”
[3:41 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
An Egyptian with Spanish name and Scottish accent
[3:42 PM] 
Yes...who spent years in Japan and got a sword made in a technique that didn't exist for centuries.
[3:43 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
Highlander: The Anachronism”
I guess we are to assume they spent time elsewhere and lost their accents/names
But he spent enough time in Scotland to pick up a Scottish accent but not a Scottish name?
[3:43 PM] 
McRamirez Sama
Maybe that's what ancient Egyptian sounds like
[3:45 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
"The Kurgan" works. Make them so ancient we don't know wtf they were supposed to look or sound like
[3:46 PM] 
So basically McLeod should have started as a Pict or something?
Fought the Romans
[3:46 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
Make them like Huns and Scythians, yes
[3:47 PM] 
I would have liked that
[3:47 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
Nobody knows what they looked or sounded like so the F'd up accents and appearances won't matter
[3:47 PM] 
Gives a better sense of the extreme time period we're talking about.
They should all have shown up together anyway and been all dead centuries earlier.

542 - Seasoned Skies, Ras Al Fool, Loud-Mouthed Animals, and Not-That-Good Friday

[2:14 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
evil scientist plan
[2:15 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
Daily Fail at it again
[2:16 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
high BP for everybody!
[2:17 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
I love to pour salt out of a salt shaker and watch it stay suspended in air in perpetuity
[2:19 PM] 
Table salt?  Nnnnnnnnno
Putting a high albedo dust up there has been talked about a good long time, but salt would be pretty useless at the job.
[2:21 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
it would just fall and kill crops
[2:23 PM] 
He also looked at the possibility of using aluminum oxide and sulfur dioxide which have been associated with causing lung diseases and acid rain.
"Salt rain is fine though."
How about plan ol' wheat flour?
Cornstarch!
"Bartholomew Cubbins and the Oobleck" is a sci-fi post apocalypse story!
[2:31 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
We shall send all the worlds paprika to the sky



[9:58 AM] 
Whoever thought Bale's "Batman voice" was good is a pinhead.
Apparently it was Bale himself.  hehe
Pinhead
"I went home that evening, and my wife said, 'How'd it go?' I went, 'I kind of did this.' And I showed her, and she went, 'Well, you f---ed that one up, didn't you?'
I won't blame Bale.  He took a risk. 
It was the people who decided to let him keep doing it. 
Sort of a pro-wrestler villain interview voice. 
[10:19 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
I read that Keaton started the voice thing because he felt like he was still recognizable
but Bale took it further
[10:19 AM] 
"CUT!  Christian.  Why do you keep turning to look straight at the camera, pointing at it, and talking so slow?  And drop the posing and flexing please.  Slate!  Action! ... CUT!  Christian!  Who gave you a microphone? And there is no 'championship bout in April' in the script!"
[10:20 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
"i don't see “OHHHHH YEEEEEE-YUH" anywhere in this script."
[10:21 AM] 
"The Bat Belt isn't supposed to be big gold slabs and you're supposed to be wearing it!  Costume!  Who gave Mr. Bale that thing?"
Keaton just talked in a lower register
Hell, Adam West didn't even change his Wayne mannerisms let alone his voice
[10:25 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
i think they messed with bale's voice in post production to make it more gravely
especially by his second turn as Batman in "The Dark Knight" (2008), in which the deep tones of "Batman Begins" were made even raspier (and sometimes extremely hard to understand) through post production tinkering.
[10:27 AM] 
Need to watch those three.  Only saw 1 1/2 of them.
I saw the first in the theater and found it OK but the ultimate "plot" and ending stupid and didn't/wouldn't work and was badly planned...I never saw it again.
I think my last straw might have been something to do with Ras Al Ghul forgetting he was on the train with no way off.
(me in theater) "Hey!  Stupid!  Yeah, you."
[10:31 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
the first one's plot is the poisoning the water supply and dispersing the poison with some kind of vaporizer
And the poison itself isn't even deadly, it just makes you hallucinate / panic.
It's a dumb idea but i recall it being done before, maybe one of the comics or at least the animated show
[10:33 AM] 
You aren't really proving your point about the downfall of mankind and their hurtling down the path to self destruction by drugging the lower and middle class types to panic.
[10:33 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
heh
[10:33 AM] 
(Ras Al Ghul) "See!  See the destruction!  What animals!"
(Batman) "Uh...99% of them are decent folk just trying to make their way and enjoy a little TV."
[10:34 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
"WE sacked Rome, burned London to the ground.."
The league of shadows was inherently bourgeoisie
[10:38 AM] 
(Batman) "All y'all are just rich Republicans, aren't you?"
[10:38 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
heh
[10:40 AM] 
(Scarecrow dusts Ras Al Ghul) "Teeellllll Meeee yoooor FEEEER!!!"
(Al Ghul) "P...P...Poor people!  M-minorities!  Gov-vernment!  Audits!  Progressives! Losing my subsidies!  Civic Welfare! Raising the minimum wage! Unions!"
(Scarecrow takes off mask) "I think you're right, Batman." 
(Batman) "I wish I could blow up this piece of shit's monastery again..."



[2:21 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
I was talking to Mr. Blue and remembered the Brahma chicken
[2:27 PM] 
Big bird
[2:28 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
yes looks like we have been using them for a long time
just fell off being the primary meat source - started eating more little chickens
[2:34 PM] 
The little ones didn't beat up people when you tried to eat them.
Foghorn Leghorn?  He was to scale.
[2:36 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
heh
[2:38 PM] 
I mean, I say I say I mean, looka that Daffy and Elmer... Now Foghorn - listen to me while I'm talkin to ya boy - I say Foghorn Leghorn is biggern the BOTH of em mashed together! 
(aside) ...nice co-workers but about as sharp as a bag of wet mice...
I love that character
They never seem to show the one with one of my favorite lines. 
The scrawny old maid clocks him with a rolling pin. 
Well, you're going about it (getting a husband) all wrong way, girlie. You don't bat 'em on the bean with a rolling pin. (Aside to audience) That comes later.”



[12:30 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Demigod apes
A term that was used in a show this morning
Sorry monkeys
Can you guess the culture on that ?
[12:42 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
Chinese?
[12:44 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Indian
[12:48 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
oh
[12:54 PM] 
Indian and Chinese. Also anywhere else there are monkeys
Though in this case, Monkey King kind of blends between the mentioned two, as part of his fame is traveling with a holy man from China to India to get Buddhist scrolls
[1:02 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
ah
[1:04 PM] 
"These statues may actually represent howler monkeys in their quality of musicians"
Which tells you something about the quality of Mayan music.
[1:12 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
heh



[8:21 AM] 
I'd say happy Friday, but it's Good Friday
Good-For-Everyone-But-Jesus-Really Friday
[8:22 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
It was sarcastic
"Oh wow! Crucifixion? This kicks ass.  I love being crucified. It's good actually."
[8:24 AM] 
"Ask my followers...this is a “good friday”..."
(Does the quotes hand gestures from the ends of the cross beam)
[8:26 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
heh
[8:54 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
I want to watch Holy Grail now
[8:58 AM] 
I might go for Life of Brian next.
After all...it's kind of an Easter movie. 
[8:58 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
I've seen that more than Holy Grail
It seems to be on HBO a lot
could go for some Meaning of life that is on a lot also
so could watch “life of brian”, “holy grail”, then “meaning of life”
[9:11 AM] 
Run those Purgatory numbers way up this year for Easter
[9:11 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
lol
[9:11 AM] 
Apparently the Pope decided to mention there's no Hell in time for the Christian Superbowl
Not that that isn't a logical theological conclusion to some of the sects...like –
"Well...Hell is there, sure. But the whole Resurrection, 'cast down the gates', free the tormented thing happened.  So...basically no souls are actually there at the moment."
"Thanks for the reprieve, Jesus"
Had a speaker on the topic at Catholic school once.  I'm sure the nuns and monsignor and etc. were glaring at the guy pretty hard from the back of the auditorium
[9:17 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Yeah
I mean they teach it as if you don't accept Jesus then you have to pay for your sins.
However the readings speak of there being no sins now because he took them away
Supposed to be one of those yes your sins are forgiven but please don't sin if you can help it.
I might get mad and take it away
Like the parent starting to count reaching the end and the child still misbehaving. So starts counting again
Til finally they get so pissed off they smack them
lol
I don't think we reached the smack phase with Jesus just yet
[9:23 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
People behave themselves better with the threat of (eternal) punishment
[9:24 AM] 
Invisible Princess experiment
I briefly considered just collecting the considered actual quotes of Jesus into what would be a rather slim volume and see what was actually said.
The much touted John 3:16..."Christianity in a Nutshell"...is not something Jesus actually said
There's PILES of New Testament stuff that is just fans talking
What if all that were excised?  What's left?
[9:27 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
That'd be an interesting read
[9:27 AM] 
No "illegal" quotes allowed and what do you get?
I mean, you see the crap that ends up on FB
There's parts of these texts that have been misquoted or taken out of context for 100s of years to serve the purposes of people.
Fine
Word of God?  God is Jesus?  Lets have the quotes.
Oh...and no post-ascension "The Lord came to me in a bright light and I decided I'm an apostle and this is what He told me" stuff either.
(glares... I'm lookin' at you, Paul, you fraud)
[9:46 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
lol
[10:14 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
[10:16 AM]
Our wrathful God has calmed down a lot since the fire and brimstone days.
[10:20 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Hell must be 90% children and babies
kind of a downer
[10:23 AM] 
And that's why they invented Limbo

541 - Taking The Booze Cure, and "A Study In Sentinelese"

[3:16 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
you sound like you have The Cold, Mr. Blue
lol
[3:16 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
I did all last week and weekend
[3:16 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
I'm on a 14 day run of antibiotics
that's why i feel better now
[3:17 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
when i got home Friday until i came into work yesterday morning i never left the house
that was probably the worst cold i ever had
day 1-4 was a sore throat, progressively worse, then day 5-8 was headache, stuffed sinuses, occasional cough and sneeze
sore throat first *then* cough seemed almost like cheating to me
[3:35 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
I had runny nose, little congestion, little cough
was not that bad, started feeling better
then bam!
full-on chest pressure, head pressure, and no energy
[3:36 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
every time I'd sneeze I'd get this sharp pain in both my shoulders and 1 of my legs
[3:38 PM] 
(commercial Doctor) "Haha!  We've all been there like Mr. A and Mr. B, right?  Do YOU have these symptoms too?  Try new Cold: Don't Care!  Just one full glass and a day in bed and you won't care!"
(pop under "Cold: Don't Care contains 130 Proof whiskey.  Do not drive or attempt to move.")
(Doctor)  "Treat your symptoms the way our forefathers did - Just ‘Don't Care’."
[3:38 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
LOL
I had black velvet, apple pie moonshine, blackberry moonshine, and maple whiskey
on Saturday



[9:55 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
you guys ever read about these people https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sentinelese
[9:56 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
yes
[9:56 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Amazing if it is true they don't know how to make fire yet
[9:58 AM] 
(Finally make contact...shake hands...chief takes off mask and it's Norm McDonald)  "It's me!  Hehe!  Really got you with the arrows huh?"
[9:58 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
HAHAHA :D
[9:59 AM] 
"You should have seen your faces.  And that no fire thing in the papers?  What a laugh, huh?  Let me introduce you to everyone."
[9:59 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
"British policy was to take prisoners, treat them well and give them gifts, and release them back into the tribe"
>>The elderly couple became ill and died
"Here's those prisoners we took.. sorry there's a lot fewer than before."
[10:00 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
I was watching a show and it talked about the ship that got stranded there due to a storm and how they called for a weapons drop 'cause the tribesmen were moving out to to attack it
Instead they showed up and took all the crew
[10:03 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
it's weird that they look black-African but they're off the coast of like, Thailand
[10:04 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
lol
I think they said they believe they are direct descendants of first humans in Africa
Which would explain it
[10:04 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
aren't we all?
I think they're a remnant of the migrations that went across southern Asia and into Australia
[10:35 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
most likely
Like when everything was one land mass or on boat?
[10:36 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
Humans weren't around when everything was one land mass
But there were intermittent land bridges that made travel easier
But eventually they'd need to get in a boat
[10:41 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
looking at a map seems like they are not too far from mainland
Reading some of these encounters it sounds like they are not always out for blood though. They just don't want anybody that is not them there.
They shot non headed arrows at some
[10:52 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
They must have some sort of mythology that keeps them on that island
Because even the nearby islands are groups that are similar to them in appearance and language
Too bad we don't have an anthropologist in this chat that can drop in with some more knowledge
[10:54 AM]  Mr. Brown.: 
lol
there is probably something great in the middle of that island
[10:55 AM]  Mr. Blue: 
It's pretty damned big, and looks to be almost completely surrounded by a reef
And looks to be entirely forested as well
Wiki says they're genetically related to "south Asians" but i think that'd mean Indians, not Thai/Burmese that they're closer to
Of course Indians look different depending on where you are in India
[12:03 PM] 
Anthropologist?
[12:04 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
Aren't you one?
[12:04 PM] 
Yes, I agree.  There's little that would compel humans to defy contact like that other than superstition
My guess is that they DID have contact in the unknown past and it went badly
So they are fortified on their island away from whatever "demons" they were, and to venture out is “certain death”.
[12:05 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Men from the sea are demons
[12:06 PM] 
Yes...men from the sea are demons
[12:06 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
The one thing i read was we brought them a pig. They killed it and buried it
[12:06 PM] 
It was a monster from outside
[12:07 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
Yeah, they wouldn't know to eat it
[12:07 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
right
[12:07 PM] 
I highly doubt they'd have any difficulty telling it was edible. No, it takes religion to put that kinda fear into people. Bad people put a weird thing on the island to trick/tempt/attack them.
[12:07 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
People bring fish to them. They take them because they know what that is
So who was the bright bulb to think “lets take them a pig”. hehe
[12:08 PM] 
I wonder if they escaped to there. Used to live somewhere else and bugged out.
[12:08 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
or were shunned to there
Maybe they were mainlanders (or on the main Andaman islands) and the locals were like - "these people are nuts"
Maybe it was mutual
They're related to the other folks on the neighboring islands
[12:09 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Buncha slaves?
Shipwrecked?
[12:11 PM] 
If they were anything as recent as those theories, they'd have fire
[12:11 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
They had a connection to them at some point
You'd have to have superstition on both sides
The Sentinelese to not leave, and repel foreigners. The groups on the mainland have a superstition of avoiding the island
[12:16 PM] 
I would think after enough people went to check the place out and never came home, they decided the island was bad news
This is no doubt a good example of one of those "White Explorer Discovery By White Explorer" situations I love so much.
"Astonishing! We're discovered a tribe of isolated people - completely unknown...except by all the native people around who have been making contact with them and talking about them for 30000 years.  But they're merely natives, you know."
[12:30 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
heh
Like when a new species of something is "discovered"
And it was only discovered because it was so well known to the locals they didn't even think to mention or point it out to anyone. What they call "discovering" is just scientifically describing, cataloging, etc.
[12:35 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Tons of animals on that island that are undiscovered (by whites)
lol
I'm sure at some point we will get on the island and they will be welcoming
Then the island will be stripped of all it's resources
They have to be getting plenty of trash out there from the ocean
[12:38 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
yeah
[12:39 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
probably why they accepted the pots and pans people took them
[12:39 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
"oh more trash, thanks"
Their language is markedly different from even the other languages on the Andamans,[8] which suggests that they have remained uncontacted for thousands of years
if that's the case and there's only a few hundred of them they're probably also the most inbred people of the world
[12:53 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
Yeah
Maybe that is why we cannot contact them
lol
[1:06 PM] 
They're remnants of the PREVIOUS 'Big Oops' as described in the Indian Vedas.
What's Bengali for "Tomorrowmorrow Land" and "Captain Walker"?
[1:08 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
I'm guessing if a single person was stranded there, they may not kill him.
(we'll save the idiot missionary's tale for it's proper place in the timeline – Mr. Silver)
I wonder about Amazon tribes that are isolated
did they intermingle?
[1:14 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
if they're completely uncontacted they'd have to inbreed
maybe they have contact with other uncontacted tribes
[1:14 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
I mean how much inbreeding before a population dies out?
[1:20 PM]
Um...as much as you want. Inbreeding isn't a terminal situation.
A network of uncontacted peoples!
They're like the Fremen
Exist in vast numbers all over the Earth and no one knows where they hide
[1:26 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
I bet they live underground
That's why we see no fire
[1:26 PM]
Yes...they keep all the smoke underground...
[1:32 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
We should just bulldoze the place
Why should they have it any easier than past natives?
[1:34 PM] 
heh
"We offer you freedom through abuse.  Later generations will thank us."
[1:36 PM]  Mr. Blue: 
"Look we have a system - and it wouldn't be fair to the other natives if we let you off."
[1:39 PM] 
"Do you have any taboos besides outside contact we can force you to do?"
"Oh, and (looks at paper)...AH!  Yes.  If you have any gold or gems we'll want all of it."
[2:31 PM]  Mr. Brown.: 
We should just try to find a sponsor to send a bot to that island
[3:00 PM] 
Yes, this place would be a dandy location for someone like NASA to drop a Xenthropology probe.  
It's kinda perfect for that
Complex culture.  Have to make it mobile and durable.
Make it something they'd be interested in keeping
Try communication experiments or maybe just watch and listen.
