I poked my head in Natter in just the right moment:
JZ: And I'm one of those theists who goes around thinking, "Just wait until those atheists die and Jesus and Buddha show up with a six-pack of beer and say 'Hey, you didn't even believe and you were a pretty decent person anyway! Go you!' Ha ha! Won't those atheists be surprised, with the heaven and the beer! I will laugh!"
Hee, I was just coming over to post that. LOVE!
Jesse in Natter:
I guess it's one thing to be fucked up and another thing to be dead.
Phun with Physics in Natter:
ita: However, the fucking tree made fucking noise when it fucking fell. What sort of nonsense question is that.
Sean: But do wave-like vibrations in air count as sound if they do not interact with a living creature's auditory receptors?
ita: First off, this is as likely as the stupid spherical cow. What sort of ecosystem is that? Accepting as posited, I'm okay with light existing where no one can see it, and the same goes for smells unsmelt and tastes untasted. What makes sound so special? It's just vibrations in a medium. Exists whether it's perceived or not.
Sean: I think you're now officially the least existential person ever.

sumi: Star Trek Fans: A digitally remastered and enhanced version of the original Star Trek series episode "The Doomsday Machine" will debut in syndication on Feb. 10, marking a milestone: It features more than 100 all-new digital visual effects shots, the most of any episode in the original series, CBS Paramount Television announced.
DXMachina: Did they restore the scene where Kirk talks to Jabba the Hut?
Jon B.: Yeah, but now Jabba shoots Kirk first.
From natter. There's more, but this was the gem of an exchange that cracked me up:

COMM x-post! Frank, P-C beat you to that very exchange.

Huh. Not sure how I missed it before.
(I lurk, therefore I am.)

IOBSGN: I just discovered we have a teacher here named Kara Lee. I feel the need to call her up, to see if I end up not caring about her love life either.
