OT - I'm bored, Part 2!

[Eddie_Shack]

It may not live in the deepest depths (though it does live pretty deep), but there is a jellyfish that can return at any point to its polyp stage. That would be the equivalent of us returning to a prepubescent state. The transition, though, makes the jellyfish essentially immortal since it can literally reset its lifespan. If it doesn't get eaten or stricken with disease, it will literally live forever.

How cool is that?

You just blew my mind.

Hmmmmm. A boy just texted me and wants to hang out now. I don't like him nearly as much as he likes me but I am really bored tonight because both my roommates are gone and it's raining so I didn't go out. Say yes or say no...

Armed with the dorkiness we've just bestowed upon you, you can hang out with him and diffuse his like of you tonight.

EDIT: I have a feeling I'm really good at that...

 

[IPostedWhat]

Sheesh, I can take a hint.

Later.

 

[Darkstone42]

You just blew my mind.

Space is super cool, and I would love to get the treaties reworded so that nuclear explosions could occur in space some radius from the Earth's surface so that a spaceship could be built that would travel at 0.1 times the speed of light to explore so much more of it, but there's also a ton of really awesome stuff right here on Earth. Under the ocean, as you pointed out, but also in the tundras, the mountains, the rain forests, and the caves that we haven't discovered yet, either.

I would have responded, but my connection decided to crap out.

Cougars to the Final Four!

That's a great graphic, Eddie. Incredible that people have been that deep in the ocean and that technology allows us to handle that kind of pressure. I can't wait to see what images James Cameron gets down there. And the gold thing, my high school chemistry teacher said that there's enough of it for everyone on the planet to get $100,000.

Pretty cool. They almost blew it (several times).

I wonder how much that gold would be worth if everyone on earth had a couple pounds of it stashed in their basements.

 

[KillerVee]

K, boys, I'm out. See you tomorrow.

 

[Darkstone42]

K, boys, I'm out. See you tomorrow.

Have a nice date!

 

[naslundfan19]

Later, Vee!

No nearly as much, I'm sure. Regardless, we shouldn't mine it. I'm sure it would decimate the ecosystem.

For some reason this reminded me of some questions from my physics text, "suppose you're running at .999c..."

I must be one fast mofo

No kidding. Maybe one free throw and some good ballhandling? Hold on to a 14 point lead? Sheesh, they tried to give that game away.

Relativity's cool and all, but we unfortunately have no practical application for a lot of the stuff. Mostly it's useful in optics, but the problems you see in intro physics classes aren't optics problems. It is kind of ridiculous.

 

[Darkstone42]

Alrighty, I'm going to bed. This was a good night of I'm Bored conversation, full of really cool knowledge and information. Later all!

 

[naslundfan19]

Later, Chris!

I miss all the fun...oh well, I had fun editing videos

Anyway I'm off to bed
