Kess on Dinosaur CGI Specials:

"No wonder the dinosaurs died out.

They wasted too much energy during hard times with wiggling and mooing. And they weren't really aware of their surroundings, constantly getting nommed by obvious threats."

Sad thing is... that's pretty much the common thread to these specials. Wannabe nature documentaries that show extinct animals acting... Not naturally. Yay for the human mind, eh?

... The stuff you find when you run through your text files.

A conversation log from the 'charms chat in July 18th this year. What happens when teh Stel run on lack of sleep... >>

[100]«MSDL» where'd Sem go?
·XiphonychusSylvanus· Northeastern Czechoslovakia. Either that or he was eaten by his Wii.
[100]«MSDL» oh, yeah, that.
·XiphonychusSylvanus· Yes, that.
[100]«MSDL» Wii, hmmph.
·XiphonychusSylvanus· Could have been worse
·XiphonychusSylvanus· He could have been eaten by an N64 controller
·XiphonychusSylvanus· ... or a C64....
·XiphonychusSylvanus· Can you imagine an eternity on Amiga?
·XiphonychusSylvanus· INFINITY trapped in the bowels of a pixelline entity, outdated beyond belief, yet used anyway by echoes of a distant past, fools who believe that they are elite for knowing to wield a system that is perfectly outdated?
·XiphonychusSylvanus· A mere shadow and a thought, an echo of your former self, in splended 8-bit glory 'til kingdom come?
[100]«MSDL» At least it's 8-bit.
[100]«MSDL» You'd be a classic.
[100]«MSDL» For what it's worth.
·XiphonychusSylvanus· Overdramatic? Oh yes. Over Nine Thousand? Definitery.
·XiphonychusSylvanus· In the end
·XiphonychusSylvanus· It will all end in fire.
·XiphonychusSylvanus· and paperwork.
·XiphonychusSylvanus· possibly one fueling the other.
·XiphonychusSylvanus· paperwork filled in to report fire damage discarded to fuel the fire further, forcing the creation of more paperwork....
·XiphonychusSylvanus· a vicious cycle...
·XiphonychusSylvanus· baring its teeth...
·XiphonychusSylvanus· and barking at potential threats
·XiphonychusSylvanus· in the manner of a small dog.
·XiphonychusSylvanus· perhaps a Pekinese.
·XiphonychusSylvanus· Or a pollicle, whatever that might be.
DoctorOak (doctoroak@SystemNet-5501F3AF.belf.cable.ntl.com) has QUIT 5:17am "Broken pipe"
·XiphonychusSylvanus· Ah, but my musings have shattered Alexander's Pipe....
[100]«MSDL» I think they borked my brain as well. ..

·XiphonychusSylvanus· So overrated, and yet so fragile
·XiphonychusSylvanus· the vast majority of the internets function well without one, so it seems.
·XiphonychusSylvanus· the mind is a wonderful thing is it not.
[100]«MSDL» Though I admit, a vicious, never ending cycle of fire report claims fueling office fires. ..
[100]«MSDL» Yes. Dramatically Over-Dramatic.
·XiphonychusSylvanus· To the power of over nine thousand.
