Discussion of the Mutant Enemy series, Firefly, the ensuing movie Serenity, and other projects in that universe. Like the other show threads, anything broadcast in the US is fine; spoilers are verboten and will be deleted if found.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

A boobie meara (not to be confused in any way with a meara boobie):

A positive boobie + a negative boobie does not cancel out to zero boobies. The sum would be two boobies. and the world rejoices.

Good thing boobies aren't like matter/anti-matter or the universe would explode.

They must be evil twins.

They do tend to come in pairs.

A boobie is a boobie is a boobie.

"Sometimes a boobie is just a boobie." I think Freud came up with that around the time he came up with the theory of "bosom envy".

Leading to this your mama's joke I found here: your mama's so fat she has a proper subgroup isomorphic to herself

Heh. "Your mama's pegleg got a kick stand on it / Yer mama, yer mama, yer mama, yer mama..."

Hey. New board.

t nerd

This is the best thread EVER.

Also, I totally knew that ∞ + 1 was countable. But the context clearly implied that he wanted something bigger for Out of Gass than Objects in Space, so I did the only thing my math allowed and elevated the cardinalities.

And now I'm trying to remember the proof that real numbers are uncountable. I think I may have done something before that proved that the irrational numbers between 0 and 1 were uncountable, which is clearly a sufficient proof, but I don't remember how I did it exactly.

The simplest proof that I can remember right now is to assume that they are countable, and give some enumeration of them. Then you can make a real number by putting in the tenths place any digit but what's there in the first real number in your enumeration, putting in the hundredths place anything but the hundredths digit in your second real number, and so on. You end up creating a real number between 0 and 1 that can't possibly be in your enumeration.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

BWAH!

For math-impaired me, this thread has become:

Blah, Blah, Blah BOOBIES Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah Blah BOOBIES. Blah, Blah, Boobies, Blah Blah.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Sophia and I are reading the same thread!

What is even happening?

Sophia and I are reading the same thread!

Oh good, then there's still time for my boobiemoticon. I was going to be more timely with it, but I had to go to the technology thread to figure out how to do it here, because the board handles code differently from the place where I suggested it. A friend is getting a breast reduction, and was looking for a suitable emoticon. I proposed these (hope they work here):

It was:

Blah, Blah, Blah BOOBIES Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah Blah BOOBIES. Blah, Blah, Boobies, Blah Blah

And now it's become:
