Natter 71: Someone is wrong on the Internet  

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.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Exactly the same as Hil, also Firefox 17.0.1 on Windows XP Home Edition 5.1.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

First one, I see an exponent 1, and a set containment symbol. Second one, the exponent 1 again, and then "&sup". Firefox 17.0.1, Mac OS 10.6.8.

Me too. I'm on Internet Explorer 9.0.8112.16421 (the hell? Where did all those numbers come from?), Windows 7 Professional 64-bit.

Same here. Safari, iPad2.

So, for reasons I'm choosing not to investigate closely, I'm watching a Finding Bigfoot marathon. The biologist skeptic is delightful. (Sasquatch or kid in a hoodie? Gee, which do you think is more likely?) The "investigators" keep referring to places as "squatchy".

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

First line: an exponent 1 and a set containment symbol (which I can name thanks to Hil).

Second line: an exponent 1 and "&sup".

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I am exactly Hil -- I see the same things and I am running the same browser on the same OS.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Finding Bigfoot is unintentionally hilarious. Mostly because, you know, they never do find him. The skeptic always seems to be thinking, "how much are they paying me for this, again?" The guys are all serious about how much they know about a creature that they've never seen and never seen any spoor. That sounds like a squatch! There's a squatch in these woods, all right.

I'll be happy to believe in Bigfoot, when (1) someone finds the DNA, or (b) a Sasquatch steps in front of my car.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

My favorite recent Bigfoot "discovery" was the people who had some "Bigfoot DNA" analyzed and found that it was "mostly human."

I can't put it any better than Rebecca Watson on the SGU: "That's like analyzing some unicorn DNA and finding out that it's "mostly horse.""
