General discussion of subjects beyond the scope of the other forums.

That would be a little fun, working on my video games with an arsenal of weapons already. But what is this kind of thing teaching children who's parents keep weapons?
Everything has a pattern. Something set. Even random things. They aren't random at all, its complex mathematics. The trick is to find the pattern. Then you can exploit it.

People think things have a certain end. Taxes. Work. Due dates don't really exist. Trust me. When you put a band of world scholars in the same room, and set them on talking about anything, the most interesting topics come up. The existence of negative time. The probability of "random occurrence". The government's involvement in the media. And falsified due dates. They aren't real, trust me....

Lots of "ridiculous" stories in the news today, if you ask me. Here's a sampling:

I suppose the mayor story is possible, but some of it sounds rather odd. The guy just happened to be running a website about the person he didn't remember being? Weird.

The padded lamposts thing is kind of silly. It might work to some degree, but there's plenty of other ways people can get hurt if they aren't paying attention.

The first story makes me wonder where society is going... Into padded walls? -_-

The thing about the guy being brainwashed is just weird.

Ok, that's just plain weird. That lady needs to spend some time with a shrink, from the sound of it. I imagine the boyfriend is going to be in a heap of trouble for letting that go on so long.

that is about the most ridiculous thing i ever read. she needs help badly.
A Knight is sworn to valor,
his heart knows only virtue,
his blade defends the helpless,
his might upholds the weak,
his word speaks only truth,
his wrath undoes the wicked

Not really all that ridiculous, I guess, but this seemed like a good place for this one:

With some refinement, that actually might be a really good and useful tool. I can think of several applications for a camera in glasses aside from those in the article.

That would be fun, I can't wait to see hundreds of people walking around with those wrapped around them. XD
