Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Or it would be, if not for the big fountain in the middle of the outfield. If it's actually located in the batter's blind, okay, that's a funny way to create a batter's blind. If it's not, then it's taking up room that could be cheap bleachers.

The fountains are to either side, so they don't interfere. George Brett never seemed to have any trouble picking up the ball. Why would you want to replace fountains with cheap, ugly bleacher seats? Have you no soul? First off, fountains pretty. Second off, there are already plenty of cheap seats there. The highest ticket price in the entire ballpark is $27 for the seats by the dugout.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I had a college friend who liked to compare philosophy to a five foot penis. Sure it's impressive, but not very useful in a practical sense.

Gud, may I tag?

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

Unless you're the 50 foot woman.

Or the 50 foot man.

Sure

If the lighting is bad or the cat is blinvisible, then you still didn't manage to check up on it and you still don't know anything about it. You have to actually see for it to actually be checking, right?

My favorite quote on Quantum Mechanics is something a professor once told us after taking advanced quantum mechanics, in grad school: "Wtih Quantum Mechanics, you can either understand it or get used to it. I think you will soon start to get used to it".

shrift! How was your trip?

[Edit: 8=2³ and 27=3³. 827 is, of course, a multiplication of neither. Numbers are neat, and I can never get used to that.]

Plus, it's not like the park sells out very often.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

If the cat was looked at, the looker can tell definitely if it's alive or dead, though, right?

You can't always tell with regular cats, I don't see why this one would be different. Recall Susan's experience yesterday with a dying cat that turned out to be just supremely uninterested.

Maybe the cat just needed to be confused. </Monty Python>

Oh, studying Quantum Mechanics is perfect for that.

Yeah, but that's a physics cats. I mean, physics horses can be shaped as circles, physics air doesn't always resist anything going through it, physics particles are often described as completely free, and physics students are often described in questions (like the one I have to grade right now instead of playing online) as "deciding to check the law of gravity on themselves and therefore jumping from a 50-meters high building".

We let ourselves run around with a lot. Then we wave our hands a lot and say "from symmetry consideration" and "that's negligible" and "it's trivial to show that". Then we use these things to help talented people like lori to send rockets to Mars. And pretend it's obvious that it actually works.
