    Or perhaps I've got it wrong.  Perhaps the wounded seagull limped up to the door determined to deliver a message, rang the bell, and then died of its injuries.

    So anyway, this is interesting imo:

  • Smoke me a kipper, I'll be back for breakfast
    Stoke me a clipper, I'll be back for Christmas.
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    When I was a kid my family visited Niagara Falls and at one point a seagull swooped down and stole a hot dog outta my hand.

    Maybe it was the same seagull. Maybe it got its comeuppance finally.

    They do that.  One snatched a sandwich out of my hand once.  Bit me on the hand, too.  (This one isn't the same species as that one, though.)

    I lived out on the sea front a couple of years ago.  They'd sometimes fly in through the windows if you left them open.  Aggressive buggers.

    Hey Bobby.

    What is Mock the Week and why do twitter Marxists hate it so much?

    Hey Odradek. :)

    Mock the Week is a TV show we have over here.  It's a comedy game show which pokes fun at politics and current affairs.

    What do Twitter Marxists say about it?

    Odd.

    At your university?  Maybe it's some sorta age-old traditional prank that goes on there.

    They just seem to really hate it. Not much reason seems to be given, it's apparently self-evident if you've seen the show.

    I love Marxism, I really do

    what other philosophy is pushed by the intellectuals, adopted by the workers, demagogue with unlimited power installed, and then all said intellectuals rounded up and shot by demagogue, followed by catastrophic failure of entire system a few decades later

    Interestingly, the only communist satellite that didn't go this route was Vietnam, and that's because Ho Chi Minh was actually a very decent man. Making that whole war even more tragic

    It amuses me that "Twitter Marxists" is a category of people we discuss here.

    Yeah, at uni.  It's a student prank, almost certainly.

    From the way the neighbours reacted I'm thinking it's probably not something that happens often.

    @ Odradek: Maybe they dislike how irreverent it is?

    There are a bunch of clips on YouTube if you're curious:

    ...And even when your hope is gone
    move along, move along, just to make it through
    (2015 self)
    Counting space, there are ninety-three possible keyboard symbols that can be made by pressing one or two keys.  This includes capital and lowercase letters, in addition to numbers.

    So, a password with three characters could be any one of 93^3 possible passwords of that length.

    Adding crescent moon, five-pointed star, circle, triangle, and square as shapes, that brings possible symbols (including space) to 98.

    So far, every symbol has been clearly distinct from every other symbol.  We can instantly tell O from 0 from o from an actual circle.  These symbols can be instantly recognized.

    Colors can be instantly recognized as well.  Having two colors (black and green) for the symbols makes our equation for a three-digit password (98 times two)^3.  Having five colors (black, green, red, orange, blue) makes it (98 times five)^3.

    Counting black, white, and evil, the Tv Tropes fora supports 13 colors, all of which are instantly distinguishable.


    That makes our equation for a three character password (98 * 13)^3.

    That makes 2067798824 possible passwords, each one of which is instantly distinguishable from the other 2067799823.  If each troper were assigned one of very short and instantly recognizable/memorizable passwords, it would be virtually impossible to crack into the system by sheer trying-every-combination possible; but each troper would be able to instantly recall the password assigned specifically to him/her/other.

    Now, the heaper's hangout supports 33 colours, and it supports bold, italic, and underline.

    Bold bolditalic bolditalicunderline italic italicunderline boldunderlineunderline normal.  That makes eight formats.

    (Eight formats * thirty colours * 98 symbols)^3 = 13011038208 possible distinct three charcter posts.

    Adding strikethrough, there must be a strikethrough for every non-strikethrough, so one would have to double that number.

    Also, we must multiply our thirty colours by our thirty highlight colours.   This makes it (2
    strikethrough possibilities * thirty colours * thirty background colours * eight formats * 98 symbol
    s)^3


    Seven Text sizes means that this must be multiplied by seven.
    But still, each one would be instantly distinguishable from all the others as fast as we distinguish fonts, formats, text sizes, characters, and colors.

    Imagine the possibilities if weinclude even more characters to type in.  Imagine a four character password.  Imagine the limit of the forum's ability to take a post.  That number of characters. 


    (2
    strikethrough possibilities * thirty colours * thirty background colours * seven sizes * eight formats * 98 symbols)^ that number that is the limit of a post.

    If posting a specific one of these possibilties is what opens an easter egg, who knows what is hidden from us.

    Given a sufficiently long string of characters, the possibilities are EndLess!

    Wikipedia says you're right, so my bad.  He was accused of doing cocaine previously though.

    And now he's doing time for participating in the London riots.
