Paradoxical Questions!

[Badgerlord, Marquis de Badger]

We can't see it, but we can get a sense of it, so we have a kind of 3D in our brains.

[Allison]

I don't think it's the ability to perceive the dimentions that matter, just the fact that they're there.

[Laszlo, The Professor]

No, we can't, physically, see in 3-D.

[Allison]

Yes, your point stands.

Surely the perceiving matters a lot, in order for successful navigation of our enviroment? If I was standing in front of, say, a life-sized standee of Jack Sparrow, there is no ironclad reason for me to assume that it does or doesn't stretch off backwards behind itself for infinity. If I then took a step to the left, a different possible infinity presents itself, but it still must stretch in the direction behind itself. By comparing these to views, I am able to reach the conclusion that the structure is flat, and therefore able to fit in the back of my car.

[Allison]

You're right. I should have said that it's not what we see that's important, but how we percieve it. We see only two dimentions but are constantly aware of the third.

[Laszlo, The Professor]

Sorry for not clearing that up.
Thank you, Badgerlord.

[Badgerlord, Marquis de Badger]

Think nothing of it.

[Laszlo, The Professor]

Of what?

[Badgerlord, Marquis de Badger]

Exactly.

[Laszlo, The Professor]

What?

[Monkeyduels]

lol

[John]

Were oranges named that because they WERE orange, or was the color based on the fruit?

[Laszlo, The Professor]

Actually, oranges were probably not original called 'Oranges' and were given the nickname later on.

[Badgerlord, Marquis de Badger]

At some point, weren't all fruits refered to as limes? I seem to remember hearing that somewhere.
*Walks into green grocers*
Give me a dozen orange limes!

[Badgerlord, Marquis de Badger]

Why are carrots more orange than oranges?

[Laszlo, The Professor]

Just because.

[Badgerlord, Marquis de Badger]

Well that wraps that up nicely.

[Laszlo, The Professor]

:D Is this a tongue or open mouth? This is not my paradoxical question.

[Badgerlord, Marquis de Badger]

I've always assumed it to be an open mouth. I should hope that my tongue isn't almost twice the distance between the outsides of my eyes.

What expression is this?

Apparently that's a smile.

[Monkeyduels]

lol he looks like he is constipated!

Trivia idk if you know this-- orange carrots are not natural they were originally yellow and red, but the Dutch bred them together because orange is their national color.

[Allison]

Oh, I read that once. There are even purple and white carrots.

[Monkeyduels]

Aren't those turnips?

[Laszlo, The Professor]

There are turnips, but these are different.

[Badgerlord, Marquis de Badger]

I did know. Speaking of different coloured edibles, a friend of mine's parents used to grow red and black corn. 'Twas pretty cool.

[Badgerlord, Marquis de Badger]

Really? Orange is the Dutch national colour? I would have thought a light blue.

[Laszlo, The Professor]

Why?

[Badgerlord, Marquis de Badger]

Just seemed right.

[Laszlo, The Professor]

Oh.

[ℂᖺαᖇᒪἷ℮ ⊰1017 &Tardis⊱]

Orange is my favorite color :) maybe I should move to holland :)


This would be a great place to stick in a joke asking why people from holland are Dutch, and it's also called the Netherlands.

[Badgerlord, Marquis de Badger]

If pinocchio says "my nose is about to grow," what happens? For if it's a lie, his nose will grow, making it true, and if it's the truth, that makes it a lie!

Perhaps his head will explode. That's how the story should have ended. That would be hilarious.

[Monkeyduels]

That was surprising because it was actually a Paradoxical Question.

[Laszlo, The Professor]

Why not?

I was going to try and respond to this, but I'm too weirded out to think of anything.

[Laszlo, The Professor]

I like it!

[Prof. River Song/ Xochil]

Me too! I like invisible cytoplasms!

[Laszlo, The Professor]

:D Did you get my Email?

[Monkeyduels]

Did who get your email?

[Laszlo, The Professor]

Xochil.

[Monkeyduels]

It is nice to talk to you Laszlo. I am going to call you Lo from now on. START!

[Laszlo, The Professor]

Thank you. Why?

[Badgerlord, Marquis de Badger]

Well, if we're giving Laszlo nicknames, I'm going to call him Lazzy. Saves trying to remember to put an 's'.

[John]

Are whales sentient?

[Laszlo, The Professor]

I thought I was the Professor.

[Laszlo, The Professor]

And, yes, whales are sentient.

I know! Accidentally I was calling Lo, lazlo until he told me that there was an 's' in his name.

But that takes longer to type than 'Laszlo'. Isn't the point of a nickname to shorten the name?
