[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Suggestions always welcome!
Issac Newton? Albert Einstein? Benoît Mandelbrot?
Taken, taken, and good one! Max Planck just made my list also.
Today is also the 6th anniversary of Second Life (Happy SL6B), which might have been timed to coincide with Turing's birthday. Or Kinsey's.
Raq, your 'revolutionary' assignment put me in mind of Colin McKenzie, the subject of Peter Jackson's Forgotten Silver. A film I highly recommend. Jackson tells a compelling story about this cinematic visionary who revolutionized celluloid. Except, he didn't. Sam Neill and Leonard Maltin lend gravitas. I loved it.
Happy Birthday, Teppy!
Raq, how about George Eastman or Edwin Land?
Happiest of happy birthdays to you, Teppy!
What about J.R.R. Tolkien, for a revolutionary?
The guys who created the Spaghetti Monster.
I've been having hip trouble, sharp pain, so when I sit down I've been standing up very slowly. At a party the other day, some guy saw me getting off a couch slowly, and "helped" me up without asking, which left me in agony for hours.
What about J.R.R. Tolkien, for a revolutionary?
A couple people suggested this, but I think Tolkein would despise being called a revoltuionary.
I wanted to suggest Gary Gygax, but it's not the kind of crowd where I can do that. George Eastman, OTOH, just about right!
Happy birthday Teppy!
And by now you would think that anybody works a service job knows that if someone needs some sort of asisstance -- you ask first. Like the people that helped omnis. Partly because you can hurt someone and partly because it is rude assume
Happy birthday, Teppy!
What about J.R.R. Tolkien, for a revolutionary?
More like a reactionary.
His response to the modern world was to go back in time and espouse some very old values. (Including racial superiority.)
