A groan related to "the theory of the universe"

[elpenmaster]

If alkaline wants an off-topic forum he can make one.

and if he doesnt want anything off topic in here, im sure that he could take it off of here himself when he gets back

the off topicness harms: nobody

it helps: it is super entertaining, so i find psycological comfort in it, as i am sure so does mightymrbob and many other people.

it harms noone, and helps someone. so what is logic in locking it? :?
:twisted:

WOOHOO!!!

RQ, you put the wrong "your".

Hi everyone. Since this topic doesn't have much purpose, I might as well tell everyone that I just got back from from New Zealand. That's why I haven't been posting anything for two weeks.

That locked post was really funny, but I don't see what all the fuss is about. Everyone's delivered their praise to mightymrbob, so there's not much to discuss about the thread. We can still read it even with it locked anyway. It's a great joke, but it's a waste of time to just talk about it.

I have XP, and smilies slow down my computer too.

[mightymrbob]

I s'pose. Just so long as it doesn't get deleted. Does anyone think we should an off-topic "chit-chat" thread? Like PWrong's holiday story? Or " what we did at ... today" etc? :?

[PWrong]

I have a feeling we'd never post about anything else if we had an opportunity to socialise.

On the other hand, it would be nice to get know everyone a bit better, but it might not be fair if we start developing little clubs and heirarchies, and ignoring everyone else's ideas.

Besides, we're all 4-dimensional nerds. We should just stick to what we're good at, talking about confusing stuff that causes lesser minds to explode or cry (like several of my friends).

You can always mention something short and unrelated at the bottom of a related post, or have mini-conversations within a thread, but a whole thread related to nothing seems a bit pointless. Or we can always use private messaging.

Anyway, I know I'll be forced to talk about my holiday anyway, so I'll give up and waste some more time. I went to play in a music festival with a few schools. Went skiing, saw some geisers, had a traditional Maori greeting and feast, that's pretty much it.

We did happen to pass a "3D maze" on the bus. It looked like an ordinary hedge maze, which would make it more 3D than a maze drawn on paper. Someone suggested that they might have steps to make it go up and down. Then the girl in front of me said "steps would make it 4D". Ahh, I hate having to keep my mouth shut.

if you want less tyranical moderators come to http://www.wellstonforum.com/4d/listing.pl
we had a tyrannical mod there but we all rose up and now they just delete spam and leave our posts alone, it's also a better format with no bother about login and all posts are orgainsed temporally so there is no need to jump between 500 threads catagorised into three hazy catagories
geosphere says mods words are not arguable, i say geosphere needs to get a life

Why, Mr Moop, that may be the first thing you've said that I really appreciate... I'll save making fun of your name for another day

Strange. It's the first time I've been called nerd and appreciated it as a compliment, not a horrible, ego-destroying insult. Which is what they usually are.

I couldn't agree more. Pretty much all (well, ok, all) the people I try and start a conversation with either ends in me being called a "bleep", shall we say; the victim.. ahem! "other person" issuing loud groaning noises or walking off looking confused; or a strange rumbling noise, which then turns into a thunderous racket, not unlike the sound of million people with bowel problem simultaeneously excreteing, and ends in a ground shaking explosion, bits of brain and such like all over the wall and a body fried more than an ant sitting on a burger covered in hot sauce and jalepeno peppers on a really, really hot day, underneath a magnifying glass next to a solar flare somewhere with three inches of the sun. Wearing a ski jacket and balaclava.

well, i've never seen a head eplode. People try to be... kind. "well, I don't understand any of that stuff, but if it makes you feel any better, i'll listen to you". but, i dunno, i usually don't have anything to say. Even here with semi like-minded freaks, it's still just frustrating to have something in your head that's not part of the real world. why am I so into all ths multidimensional crap, anyway? when I get around to learning hypnosis, i might decide to forget the whole thing, and turn myself into a barbie doll.

Why think at all?

I get that too! Usually it happens on the internet, people just can't be bothered in person. Which is understandable. I wouldn't want to talk about it to them either.

Sometimes they get the idea that I'm some kind of genius, even though they don't understand what I'm on about. So they leave me alone, in the hope that one day I'll present them with a new time-machine or teleportation device.

[mightymrbob]

Yeah. I've had people try and tell me an "idea". They ramble on for ages and ages, then they want me to tell them if it would be "possible in 4-D". You're like "umm, well, ". Either because it generally isn't, or because their idea is so stupid you just don't want to hurt their feelings!
