Philosophy In L33t

I was speaking with a few friends on this boring BCT lesson today, when the conversation turned to looking up the theories behind time travel. We came to realise that in order to time travel, we would first have to meet the speed of light. A mere 299,792,458 Meters a second… Well. That shouldn’t be too hard… Oh and did I mention that that’s only fast enough to STOP time and not traverse it? Well apparently, you have to EXCEED that speed to start moving through time in the reverse direction or even at an accelerated rate.

I phrase it like that because in all technicality, we are already traversing time. We do so at a certain rate and in one direction and have the knowledge to do so from birth. It’s the 4th dimension, and it’s scary how few people realise this.

In any case, after a while the conversation somehow turned to Global Warming, and we came to realise just how much we are screwing our planet. But it was when Yoshi whipped up that chart that I couldn’t help but edit the image as thus.

It’s sad to think that it’s true as well… But something I also wanted to point out by posting this, is that if you’ll look, the point where global warming starts to skyrocket is around the industrial era. Well… If that doesn’t tell those who say “No such thing” that we are the responsible ones, then I don’t know what will.

So till next time, always remember that the worlds most deadly weapon is that of the squirrel in the hands of a crazed maniac.

Side Of The Force?

Saw Star Wars 3 on Friday and watched the Clone Wars cartoon episodes today. The saga is finally complete. I would insert a lovely image of my ticket, however somewhere during the move, I've lost track of the camera, and there is no way I'm about to plug the scanner in as I've yet to obtain the desk space to accommodate it.

The movie was good. Personally I hold it almost in as high regard as I hold episodes IV through VI. And now that it's finished, all I have to do is wait for that first edition, uber, proves your a geek 6 movie box set. It will be encased in a platinum box. The DVD cases will be solid gold, and the disk's will be pure silver. It will cost a mere $900,000,000,000 US and there will be only 3 made. They will then shoot the guy who made them.

If you actually for a second believed that such a testament to George Lucas' master piece would be made, I pity you... But I do have every intention of buying the first edition set of 6 providing they create one. It will then be complimented by having a huge party like thing in which several people will gather at whosever house can accommodate them, and we shall watch from start to finish. Not for the faint of heart. There ain't gonna be no toilet breaks on this ride.

On a completely unrelated note. I've found a store nearby that sells toy guns that resemble the gun used by Vash The Stamped in the very popular Anime, Trigun. You can bet this will cause me to begin work on obtaining a Vash costume. I intend to literally blow away judges at the next Supernova. Then again... I may simply not do anything, like every other year I've said I was going to go cosplay. Oh well. One can dream.

So this is me signing off for some unknown amount of time. And again sating "Don't steal from your parents... Everyone knows grandparents have more money."

Like A Teenage Girl On Hormones PMSing...

We are finally out of the old place and into this new one. Nifty. But I was shocked to find that my bitchy computer decided to get it's period or something when we set it up and it's been beyond fragile ever since. Seriously, this thing seems like it will crash if I sneeze...

But onto a happier note... I now have Foxtell Digital. Hurrah! Well... Kinda. It's good. But it's just a matter of time before the novelty dies and I just use it to freeload movies. For now though, it's precious and sacred. 3 cheers for corporate marketing!

In this new house, I'm walking distance from a shopping centre and train station. And as an added bonus... It feels and looks like suburbia. But alas it's still in the middle of nowhere. However, just the lingering fumes of the illusion keep me sane at night. Which is a good thing because I won't be waking up screaming anytime soon.

In the world of the comic, bizarre seems to be on the agenda. I've been hearing ideas for completely abstract issues. One such idea is based entirely around a urinal cake. Use your imagination people. The other major one I've herd of is one by Napz. Apparently you have to see it to understand. But as Yoshi put it... "Any comic with a talking pig in it is ok with me". But that's yet to be seen when I view it.

I now feel obliged to explain the term "Jumping the Shark" for reasons I shall not divulge here. This refers to an episode from Happy Days. It was the episode where you could pinpoint that the series had finished it's run and was going downhill. In this episode, "The Fonz" was water skiing. Leather jacket and all. At some point a shark is encountered and in a very action like sequence, he hit's a jump and fly's over the shark. And thus the term "Jumping the Shark" was coined. Huzzah for Yoshi's wealth of pop culture knowledge.

So this is me saying "Shoot em all." Yes. All.
