I'll be over here eyerolling about the "hotness" of Africa.
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

Erika, Frank, -t, and other HBOviators: there's a discussion in Bureaucracy of having another TV thread to avoid spillover.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Recently on Yahoo, some bozo posted something claiming that the bible was all correct, and that genetics would show that bats were actually birds. But that's not the real prize. The real prize of the discussion was in the ensuing thread.
A doubter posted the following question:
please explain 1 kings 7.23 and how a circle can have a circumference of 30 of a unit and a radiius of 10 of a unit and i will become a christian
23 And he made the Sea of cast bronze, ten cubits from one brim to the other; it was completely round. Its height was five cubits, and a line of thirty cubits measured its circumference. (1 Kings 7:23, NKJV)
And the answer is one of the all-time greats of moronic innumeracy:
Very easy. You are talking about the value of Pi. That is actually 3 not 3.14....... The digits after the decimal forms a geometric series and it will converge to the value zero. So, 3.14.....=3.00=3. Nobody still calculated the precise value of Pi. In future they will and apply advenced Mathematics to prove the value of Pi=3.

In future they will and apply advenced Mathematics to prove the value of Pi=3.

"Advanced Mathematics." I do not think these words mean what you think they mean.

No no, he was talking about "advenced" mathematics. It's a whole different vibe.

No, but I'm hearing it with Jeffery Jones as Criswell, which is close enough.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
That's because you're thinking of advanced mathematics, Seanie. The advenced kind give different answers. Specifically, more convenient ones.

Now I do. Or at least, Jeffrey Jones as Criswell.
