"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

Suddenly I'm all unsure about the etiquette of the situation. Yeesh, with all the prying! But, Theo, Intergalactic Trading Co. From whom, apparently, one can acquire all kinds of patches, including Alpha Moonbase from Space 1999, Yoyodyne Propulsion, Alpha Control (from Lost in Space), Project Quantum Leap, and Federal Colonies from True Recall.

ETA: cause I now have a catalog. Which, theo, I could probably pass on. Or, hey looky here! [link]

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I don't care for the story myself, because the moral seems to be that if you are born without talent the best thing to do is to become a psychologist.

Heh heh heh.

I will say, Ole Klex's inky noodlings are famous, but they're also easily replicated by Steve Gutenberg with a cup of hot soup on a napkin. So, the ideas behind them are pretty powerful (but wonderfully unscientific), but the art behind them, NSM.

I learned a couple of years ago that the Rohrschach "answer key" is a closely guarded secret, so that people can't throw their own assessments by cheating beforehand. Which -- okay, I understand if you were to cheat on the MMPI, but inkblots??

That was true, but in the age of the internet there are no more secrets.

This is a big problem for good tests, because it can make them invalid. But the Rorschach is pretty much of a joke anyway, so no one cares.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Okay, that made me laugh too hard to decide what I thought the blots looked like.

Maps of Atlantis, every one.

I'm pretty sure the text on the deltabravo.com page is taken verbatim (and without credit, as far as I can tell) from William Poundstone's book Big Secrets.

Which is kind of funny, given the "copyright" language at the top of the page.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

I kept thinking, "Cartoon character. With reflection." Which wouldn't be very helpful, I'm afraid. Anything can look like a cartoon character.

Two warty witches.

Two warty witches and some spilt mercury.

If it's not Atlantis, I mean.

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

I kept thinking, "Cartoon character. With reflection."

Me too. Apparently all the things I thought were rabbits are actually women, or penises.

Also, I'm gay, mentally defective, possibly schizophrenic, and have difficulty relating to people.

Me too, Jess. Also, I see my father as a dwarf. I have no idea what that means. My first instinct was an amiable dwarf, though, so at least it's... somewhat positive.

If it *is* directly copied from Poundstone, it's 20 year old analyses. I don't know if the test/interpretation methods would have changed in that time or not.
