| bytefire | that stuff goes over my head |
| ph88 | over my head as well :P |
| bytefire | may be half inch above your head and 50 feet above mine :) |
| rindolf | bytefire: what barbaric measurements |
| rindolf | bytefire: quick - how many inches are in a mile? |
| vdamewood | all of them |
| jrslepak | . o O ( how many barrels in an acre-foot? ) |
| rindolf | vdamewood: i guess the capital of Ohio is "O" then |
| adsc | how many fathoms in a furlong? |
| bytefire | rindolf: there are more than 2 inches in a mile |
| jrslepak | of course, none of this is as dumb as having 112 pounds in a hundredweight |
| rindolf | bytefire: so 3? |
| mrig | to many to fathom! |
| Inline | if in doubt use your elbows |
| Inline | lol |
| bytefire | rindolf: well... there are 3 inches in a mile. there are other inches in a mile as well. |
| Inline | one bow and one bow bowbow |
| mrig | Yes that is how you get to the front of the Que in France. |
| Inline | wowow |
| rindolf | bytefire: heh |
| bytefire | :D |
| Inline | bow wow au |
| Inline | lol |
| mrig | A foot is a fair measure of spacetime :P |
| rindolf | bytefire: i'll take the first 20 inches in the mile |
| vdamewood | Speaking of spacetime, how many meters are in a second? |
| vdamewood | many* |
| bytefire | lol |
| Inline | naaa all you need is a clock and an inch stick to measure spacetime |
| Inline | lol |
| wedr | clock is just an invention |
| wedr | all you need is a stick |
| mrig | an 1/12th of is naturally a senseful measure of nought! |
| * vdamewood | sticks to the invention. |
| * wedr | invented sticks |
| rindolf | vdamewood: i wondered that as well |
| vdamewood | rindolf: I have no way to prove it, but I always figured that there were c*s meters in a second. |
| mrig | if a nautical mile is genuinely 60 minutes, how much is an inch in time? |
| mrig | :P |
| wedr | mrig: a litter. |
| mrig | ah" that is 1/12th an ah' |
| Inline | as big as the sailor |
| vdamewood | rindolf: That is, the time it takes light to travel a certain distance is that distance in time. |
| Inline | loll |
| mrig | or is that vis versa? |
| rindolf | vdamewood: ah |
| Inline | tailor the sailor without failure |
| * Inline | sings |
| Inline | lol |
| * mrig | fades into a black hole and emerges upon a brand new time line. |
| mrig | shiny! |
| wedr | wtf, you invented a stick |
| wedr | now we have to measure how long the new timeline is. |
| wedr | You monster. |
