    I was reading the latest XKCD What If? OTD[^] and made a big mistake: I followed teh first link. Took me here: http://www.timecube.com/[^] Now, I know t'interweb is full of loonies, and I know that many of them are certifiable, and I know that some of them come here. But...if you wrote that site, please, let me know who you are - because you have an appointment with the Men with the Special Jacket and a bouncy walled room... How does anyone that disassociated from reality function sufficiently in society to be able to create a website, even that bad a web site? :~

      For a start I'm on a tablet, I had to hold it at arms length to read the bloody thing.

      Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

        It's not THAT bad... If you zoom out as much as you can the text is getting near a size that doesn't strain the eyes THAT much. And you don't see that horrible background image anymore either :laugh: Besides, what is the text about? I don't understand anything in it... (maybe it's the lack of verbs in it, maybe it's just BS, I don't know..) :doh:

              That's so insane I just don't even understand it. So I looked it up on wikipedia[^] .. I still don't understand wtf he's trying to say.

              In a single rotation of the Earth sphere, each Time corner point rotates through the other 3-corner Time points, thus creating 16 corners, 96 hours and 4-simultaneous 24-hour Days within a single rotation of Earth

              :confused:

                            There is some twisted logic in that. But mostly it is just babble. :)

                                My Mater had Parkinsons and her meds were LSD related. She used to save them up and take a big hit if she needed to be mobile for a while. as well as having quite lucid conversations with imaginary people (and being somehow aware that they weren't real at the same time) she also used to hallucinate quite dramatically at times. She had to stop with the practice when she screeched to a halt in the middle of the street (she was still driving at the time) and sprinted out of the car as she had 'seen' a giant meteor hurtling toward the ground. The cop that came to check on her, after they traced her address from the car rego, was very understanding! Brought the car home for her, and suggested, nicely, that she maybe wanted to think about not driving any more! She used to say "ehh Maxxx, I'm getting as mad as your Dad"

                                    My Mater had Parkinsons and her meds were LSD related. She used to save them up and take a big hit if she needed to be mobile for a while. as well as having quite lucid conversations with imaginary people (and being somehow aware that they weren't real at the same time) she also used to hallucinate quite dramatically at times. She had to stop with the practice when she screeched to a halt in the middle of the street (she was still driving at the time) and sprinted out of the car as she had 'seen' a giant meteor hurtling toward the ground. The cop that came to check on her, after they traced her address from the car rego, was very understanding! Brought the car home for her, and suggested, nicely, that she maybe wanted to think about not driving any more! She used to say "ehh Maxxx, I'm getting as mad as your Dad"

                                      Hey, no, not sad at all! the sad bit was when she wasn't on her meds and could hardly move - frustrated her to hell. She was an artist, and not being able to paint or sculpt really frustrated her. Of course, when she was on the meds, her paintings were sometimes a little surreal...

                                        I was reading the latest XKCD What If? OTD[^] and made a big mistake: I followed teh first link. Took me here: http://www.timecube.com/[^] Now, I know t'interweb is full of loonies, and I know that many of them are certifiable, and I know that some of them come here. But...if you wrote that site, please, let me know who you are - because you have an appointment with the Men with the Special Jacket and a bouncy walled room... How does anyone that disassociated from reality function sufficiently in society to be able to create a website, even that bad a web site? :~

                                        Wow, the sub-genii[^] are amateurs compared to this. This bloke has taken it to another level, while seemingly being serious.

                                          Well, losing ones mind is sad to me. Running away from your car because of ilusionary meteor is sad. I hope that I will be sane when I get old. :~
