Ridiculous and asinine nerd conversations

[lordofduct]

So this one is inspired by a recent conversation with my friend. We were working on a design doc for our next project together. And we moved into talking about work this week, and I brought up some gizmo my friend wants to build that he needs my help on where it uses sending high frequency signals over the air to a base in analog (basically a portable phone get up, but perform higher level tasks this way). Anyways that got into phone phreaking... which got to Captain Crunch and that little blind boy who could actually whistle the necessary for the phone phreaking Captain Crunch found.

So conversation went:

(02:43:40 AM) myFriend: wasnt he blind?
(02:43:50 AM) lordofduct: not that I know of
(02:43:55 AM) lordofduct: ohhh
(02:44:05 AM) lordofduct: you're talking about the little boy who also discovered it
(02:44:23 AM) lordofduct: the first person to actually discover it and make record of it (by reporting it to AT&T)
(02:44:32 AM) myFriend: doh ><
(02:44:37 AM) lordofduct: was a blind boy who accidently did it by whistling
(02:44:55 AM) lordofduct: he for some reason (as all blind boys do) had the ability to whistle at the right frequency for long periods of time
(02:45:36 AM) lordofduct: the tone was used because it wasn't supposed to be humanly possible to hold the pitch for several seconds if at all
(02:45:40 AM) lordofduct: but this little kid could
(02:46:29 AM) myFriend: makes me want to meet someone who can simulate a 56k
(02:46:38 AM) lordofduct: heh
(02:46:41 AM) myFriend: eds claims he can
(02:46:44 AM) myFriend: but i think hes full of it
(02:46:45 AM) lordofduct: there's all kinds of weird tones in that
(02:46:54 AM) lordofduct: I've heard some people emulate it to an extent
(02:47:16 AM) lordofduct: the issue I see in that is knowing WHAT the hell you're saying
(02:47:26 AM) myFriend: lol
(02:47:40 AM) lordofduct: you'd probably send tons of broken packages before ever sending 1 complete package
(02:47:47 AM) lordofduct: package == packet*
(02:48:32 AM) lordofduct: that would be really cool though. Handshaking with someones fax machine
(02:48:40 AM) lordofduct: and then "speaking" the image "FUCK YOU" to them!
(02:48:48 AM) lordofduct: hahahaha
(02:49:22 AM) lordofduct: now that's really learning machine language!




So yeah, I want to hear some funny/odd/ridiculous nerd talks you've had with your friends.

[lordofduct]

other's I like of my own:

(7:44:28 PM) lordofduct: another road trip dream last night
(7:44:49 PM) lordofduct: you, Edd and I are driving around and decide to drive off road down some weird overgrown dirt road
(7:44:56 PM) lordofduct: we get to the end at a farm house with a pasture
(7:44:59 PM) lordofduct: and we just goof around
(7:45:08 PM) lordofduct: Edd then says: "get in the car we have to go."
(7:45:08 PM) myFriend: lets do it.
(7:45:20 PM) lordofduct: and in the distance I see a dog... you're like "dude its just a dog."
(7:45:25 PM) lordofduct: "no, get in the car we have to go."
(7:45:28 PM) lordofduct: and another dog appears
(7:45:34 PM) lordofduct: but it stands on its hind legs
(7:45:39 PM) lordofduct: you and I scream in unison
(7:45:42 PM) lordofduct: "FURRIES!!!!!"
(7:45:54 PM) lordofduct: pigs and cats and lions start appearing
(7:45:57 PM) myFriend: hahahhahahaha
(7:45:59 PM) myFriend: wtf man
(7:46:00 PM) lordofduct: as we get in the car we are surrounded
(7:46:20 PM) lordofduct: a fat man dressed as a bear smashes a jar of molasses on our windshield
(7:46:31 PM) lordofduct: and a lincoln blocks the exit from the pasture
(7:46:47 PM) lordofduct: I woke up in a panic screaming "mama, no mama, don't want to go to school."
(7:46:58 PM) lordofduct: BEST DREAM EVER
(7:47:42 PM) myFriend: im hoping someone was in your bed and frightened
(7:48:31 PM) lordofduct: frank was at my door like, "what the gay is with you?"
(7:49:38 PM) lordofduct: "I'm still standing!!!!"
(7:49:41 PM) lordofduct: oh yeah, shower time

and not a conversation and I think I've posted a long time ago, but I'm proud of this one:

Tobin - "K, you start out in a clearing, you have a wooden dagger you constructed from a near by tree and some light rags as protection. You see a path to the North and another to the East. What do you do?"

Me - "Ummm, I gotta pee!"

Tobin - "No, pick a path, when it's Markys turn you can go pee."

Ian - "NOH, it's me turn next."

Me - "NO, I want to pee in the game."

Ian - "I pee on Dylan."

Me - "You're not playing Ian."

Ian - "Yes I am."

Tobin - "Shutika, no your not."

Ian - "WHY!"

Me - "You're to young poop head."

Tobin - ::face palm:: "Fine, you pee. You feel refreshed, now what do you want to do."

Me - "I want to take the south path."

Tobin - "North or East shit for brains."

Me - "Wheat!"

Tobin - "We never should of fed you lead paint. What the hell do you mean by wheat?"

Me - "Never Eat Shredded Wheat!"

Tobin - ::face palm:: "o...k... you head 'wheat' toward Davenshire. As you are walking ahead in the distance you see a smm..."

Me - "I gotta pee!"

Tobin - "You already pee'd."

Me - "no in real life dummy."

Ian - "My turn!"

... time passes, I use the lavatory...

Me - "K, there's a small..."

Ian - "I stole your wooden thingy."

Me - "Tobin, Ian stole my wooden dagger... can he do that?"

Tobin - "Yes, your dead."

Ian- "haha!"

Me - "WHA!? How, I only pee'd. This sucks... I didn't die, I wasn't even here. Dat's not fair."

Tobin - "Fine, you're walking to Davenshire and ahead you see a giant Dragon and he rips off your head leaving your dieing corpse to be eaten by scavangers. Enjoy!"

Ian - "I'm wearing Dylan's dead corpse." Ian dances around the bedroom like a little monkey on crack

Me - "MOOOOOOMMMMM, TOBIN KILLED ME! AND IAN'S WEARING MY DEAD BODY!"

Tobin - "So... Mark, you start out in a clearing, you have a helmet of knowledge, armor of indesctructability, and a sword of rape. You see Ian next to you with Dylan's wooden dagger and apparently dressed in what remains of Dylan. What do you do?"

Mark - "Wicked! I kill Ian."

Ian - "Hahaha, WHA!? Noh, no, no."

I had a very in depth conversaion the other night about how we can accept that superman is fireproof, but how is his suit fireproof also
He arrived on earth butt naked so he must have got his spandex cut at a tailors in Metropolis (with no attached superpowers) so why doesnt it burn?

Beginning of another nerd conversation:
If you notice during a battle Superman's cape is usually all tore up but his suit is not. This is because of his power. Superman is not invulnerable, he is a large solar battery - think of it as high powered photosynthesis in his cells. The extra energy in all of his cells radiate out a millimeter or two creating a "force field" like energy around his body that protects him and any article of clothing that is up against his body.

Back in college our dorm would sometimes have a cookie dessert that was simply two cookies stuck together with frosting. One night I made mention that this was a cookie molecule; as we all know, two or more atoms makes a molecule. We then proceeded to figure out how long it would take to eat a mole of cookies at various rates. We determined that if every person on earth ate one cookie a second it would still take 3 billion years.

At animazement 09, i told the ONE stormtrooper that showed up "Hey man, i heard your job got blown to bits, sorry to hear that". He said nothing, went on the elevator and the door closed. That ended the conversation.

Ive had countless nerd convos, but the recent one i can think of was me riding with my friend when i went to raleigh nc back in may and he brought up the Akira OST, and made a mention that if you go to the iron lung ward in the hospital, you can basicly hear the entire OST of Akira.

He also made a mention that you can play the OST under your kid brothers bed, and im sure the kid bro would be pissing himself because he doesnt know WTF that is...

I thought his suit didn't get damaged because it was made from the blankets he was wrapped in when he was sent to earth?

[Luke]

I thought his suit didn't get damaged because it was made from the blankets he was wrapped in when he was sent to earth?

Yuppers.

[Mod_Man_Extreme]

Yuppers.

Yeah, but they need to make an excuse for all the spare suits he needs for when they get torn up from time to time by fighting guys like Doomsday and other characters with Superman-like powers.
