Just Jack Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Maybe it was a secret message to me... It was. She wants to know if you know how to get in touch with Boyst. Or Hemet. Or Poojer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Triggered. I couldnt believe it, recalls Peggy Udden, an executive secretary at MIT. Not only because she was so young, but a girl. It was. She wants to know if you know how to get in touch with Boyst. Or Hemet. Or Poojer.it'd be a Mexican and a Pollock all at once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CBF Yes. Most definately.... And Tom is an idiot. The equation is correct, and i challenge anyone of you dumbasses to prove otherwise. Boyst is a Neanderthal, and Poojer is just **** out of luck.

Boyst is a Neanderthal, and Poojer is just **** out of luck. DIBS! Tom is "definately" right but I rarely agree with idiots who do not know how to use spell check or browsers without it. The equation is correct as is but not all there so unless you have it all the equations, conditions and assumptions you cannot prove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canadian Bills Fan Posted August 23, 2017 Author Share Posted August 23, 2017 TIL in 1981, a 27 year old James Cameron was working as a director on Pirhana II, when he was fired for failing to get a close-up of the lead actress. He then got food poisoning and during his illness had a nightmare about a robot sent from the future to kill him - the idea for The Terminator CBF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Cameron pitched his idea for the sequel to Alien, in front of the studio head, all he did was write this on the whiteboard: ALIEN$ ... and got the job without pitching a story, concept, or anything else.

Had the chance to spend some time with him a few years ago, his office is one of the coolest offices in all of show business. A museum of awesome movie history.

Boyst is a Neanderthal, and Poojer is just **** out of luck. DIBS! It is not. Feynman diagrams with an odd number of vertices reduce to zero. That was always the great thing about Feynman diagrams: instead of spending six months calculating a zero result using Schwingerian formalism, you could just look at the picture and say "Hey, it's zero! Done!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
