"Why didn't I think of that?"

Groups at the University of California in Los Angeles and Tech-X Corporation in the US are already exploring Vay's time-saving method for simulating relativistic experiments. Nevertheless, the question remains of why such a simple consequence of relativity has never surfaced. "Computer simulations didn't exist when relativity was invented," said Vay. "It's plausible that the effect was identified early on by the founders of relativity, but didn't lead them to any interesting applications."

Grodowns at da damn University uh Califo'nia in Los Angeles and Tech-X Co'po'ashun in de US are already 'esplo'in' Vay's time-savin' medod fo' simulatin' relativistic 'espuh'iments. Neverdeless, de quesshun remains uh why such some simple consequence uh relativity gots'ta neva' surfaced. "Computa' simulashuns dun didn't 'esist when relativity wuz invented," said Vay. Slap mah fro! "It's plausible dat da damn effect wuz identified early on by de founders uh relativity, but dun didn't lead dem t'any interestin' applicashuns."

True, but the question we really (and I can't put enough emphasis on how much we really need to ask it) need to ask is.

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

That is the question.

[ChadTower]

Can we apply a computer simulation to that?

[horseboy]

4?

[ChadTower]

But only 2 shipped.

I think horseboy cheated and Googled it. I can tell by the way he feigned his guess.

Is there a mirror to the article?

[ChadTower]

When held up to a mirror, the article has no reflection.

On to the more important question at hand:
Shorthair, why did you choose another term for pubes as your screen name? 

[KenToad]

Let it go, dudes.  This is not high school.  

That link requires a login, as RayB mentioned.

[horseboy]

What are we supposed to be letting go of? I thought we were all just having fun.

[shardian]

Let it go, dudes.  This is not high school. 

If you are referring to the immaturity of my post, need I remind you we are all grown men actively chatting all day about arcade games? 'nuff said about maturity.

[KenToad]

Should I have said Middle School?  Or maybe the campus of Revenge of the Nerds?  You guys are the jocks of the Internets.

I can see ignoring the guy when you don't appreciate what he posts, but you guys act like he's pooped in your bathtub or something.

Anyway, my comments aren't directed at any one person in particular. 

[shardian]

I'm honestly curious, I swear!

You guys were just having fun???  Crap, I've been writing all this down.  So far (I thought) I'd learned about mirrors and reflections, wood chuck production, and how to sign up for a really exciting physics-related website.

When I do that, I'll let you know.

IMDB:

Gibert: I just wanted to say that I'm a nerd, and I'm here tonight to stand up for the rights of other nerds. I mean uh, all our lives we've been laughed at and made to feel inferior. And tonight, those ---daisies---, they trashed our house. Why? Cause we're smart? Cause we look different? Well, we're not. I'm a nerd, and uh, I'm pretty proud of it.

I'm sorry, I thought the sarcasm was so thick I wouldn't actually need a wink smiley.

[ChadTower]

It wasn't the sarcasm that was thick, sparky.

Noticed your post count went down by about 400 posts. Did Saint have to whip you in line again?

If it did, I didn't notice.  I don't pay attention to post count.  When Saint whips me it has nothing to do with post count.

Who's the sparky now?

[CheffoJeffo]

Now Chad's getting more to the meat

Don't bother, i won't give up the goods

Hahahahah, lots of humor, here. Um, sorry Rayb, I forgot that some of the articles there do require a log in, but I don't think they ask for any personal information. The only mail they send, if you want it, is news updates. Although they do respond to queries and questions.

That was partly humorous. See, different humor. (I'm wondering when you're going to find the recent 'accident' where I said clusterf*** - ...except it didn't catch it, and I assumed it would. Very cute.)

And I no longer accept checks. Cash only.
