corbonize (a.k.a. a diamond in the making?) entered the realm of gravitational cosmology by inquiring:

I wonder where the event horizon is?

, and alas, although I've heard speculation amongst the lads down at the soup line that it is the boundary surrounding an area of intense space-time-curvature at which the distortion is so pronounced that the escape velocity becomes unattainable (the speed of light, but you knew that) and the laws of physics break down and information becomes unkowable. Only women live there. But as 'Stinky' (I told you It was at the soup kitchen) pointed out, it is all speculation and can never be proved.

Yep... likewise noticed a great many people visit zoos, to watch the animals on display pace back in forth in their cages there also!

Maybe the WPW server tech dude is actually the cat in the hat?

Methinks Carbonize has spent one too many evenings wrapped up in the today's tomorrow, not yesterday, Jello, Ghosts thread with us! Shhhhhhhh..... But, we won't tell him yet!

Four posts since mine and not a single email about it. I think they must be dining in the restaurant at the end of the universe.

Wonder if I'll get 42 emails all at once??

Lobster anyone?

The same theory works when it comes to what is said (and men prove this all the time :) What is said isn't always what is heard(1) but is it always a matter of not listening, or hearing only what we want to hear? We read books for information, but everyone perceives that book in different ways, what if that book truly is giving them different information? What if what we read isn't what they read? Yesterday the book said one thing, today it says another(2)? Kinda makes you think huh?

Yes it makes me think that although the book clearly, to even the most casual and uncritical of observers , clearly has not changed in the slightest fraction of a way, THROUGH NO ACTION OR INTENTION OF IT'S OWN it is not only accused of saying one thing and meaning another, it's very existense is proof of that fact, and indicates only one thing, that it is a woman yet again making the simplest and most innocent object the cause of her frustration at not being understood because the book has suddenly become an 'insensitive' scoundrel LOL
Yes, it makes me think that I'm glad that I'n not a book and actually transport myself down to the library and have a pint with all of the 'books'.

Footnotes to referenses in quote:
(1) My point exactly
(2) Being responsible for my own actions, I can not blame the book for my difference of perspective, only can I be grateful that the book is profound and provides me with insight relevant to my changing experience and viewpoint.[o;

I'll thus take that as an apology, and I accept.

The WPW server has definately been reading this thread as it either now knows five minutes before I log on that I'm going to log on or theres a second me in a parallel universe that is logging on and the WPW server is shifting universes!!

Since yesterday when I log on (not automatic either since yesterday) it tells me I last logged on five minutes earlier and that there are no new posts.

I think the WPW server is learning, it knows my habits and pre-logs me on. I think I'll have to get up at 4am and see if I can surprise it

Maybe MikMik found your cookies too when he was searching for his and he's logging on for you, before you Carju!

Almost missed this one... Me wonders if MikMik refers to the cooks hygiene or implies the menu might be condusive to the aforementioned but slightly bent quotes on herring communication?

What is the record for the longest thread about conjecture? ;-)

Have we hit it yet????

In front of me is one of the calendar type thingies that has a saying for each day. I think todays is usually quite relevant for this forum but this thread is the exception.

Was wondering the same thing the other day, I did notice we're growing ever closer to the tally on the chatroom too!

It's slowing down a bit however, as Wen has been slacking here of late, since finding the answers to the Jello question.

Poor, Wen - all she really wanted to do when all this started was find out what day it was... next thing you know it's Jello jokes...

At least I didn't lose Tuesday last week, and if I'm lucky I won't lose it this week either! ;) Maybe it's the Jello's fault?

She's BA-ack..
Hi wen. Whatcha bin up ta?
Kinda missed ya, hey ya know?...

Since the Jello debate hasn't been finalized I thought I'd throw this little "joke" in and see what happens next :)

Here's a delightful treat someone once made for an office Christmas party:

A gelatin mold should be filled with Knox Unflavored Gelatin and red food coloring. One would think that a flavorless food would not be at all difficult to swallow, but believe me, from the looks of people who inserted cold masses of gelatinous glop into a mouth that was expecting sweets, the experience is unexplainably horrifying! It made some sick, while other just politely finished their spoonful.

You don't stop laughing because you grow old. You grow old because you stop laughing.

All this is, of course, pure assumption on the part of WW the First (not to be confused with WWI or WWII) - it's not as if she was actually there to witness the reactions...

Seems to me the original cause for discussion of the Jello routine was... that Cherry and Strawberry all tasted the same, and that Jello was supposed to be able to talk so it could tell you what flavor it was.

Now mysteriously we learn the reason is, because Wen having hauled the left overs home from the Christmas party, awoke the next morning looking for something to ease the churning in her stomach and the throbbing in her head, and finding the Cherry or Strawberry or what ever flavor Jello that was she had mixed up in the course of getting fortified and tuned up for the Christmas Party, in fact found that it was impossible to tell what flavor it was. (Because it had no flavor!) And, thus the last 6 pages of conjecture herein, have been the result of a Wen Wilder practical joke gone awry!!!

You don't suppose do you?

I bet she wouldn't tell us the truth either!

It has to be true! I heard it from a friend of a friend who heard it from a friend of a friend who KNEW a friend of a friend who attended a friends Christmas party where this was done! Now how can you doubt the validity of that? ;)

If it wasn't for a friend of a friend we'd never know what we never knew we didn't know, ya know? ;)

Now now Rocky, haven't you learned anything from this thread? Oh wait, maybe it was another thread? hmmmm

Anyway....I'm naturally anti-meat, anti-alcohol, and anti-social. :) Although I sometimes wonder if Mt. Dew should be considered a non-alcoholic alcoholic beverage, simply for the fact that, when introduced early in the morning to a semi-conscious person, it can have the same affect as a proverbial "night on the town." My personal drink of choice 'Diet Vanilla coke!' When I need a stiff drink THEN I reach for the Mt. Dew, but SssssssHhhhhhh don't tell! ;)
