    Jon's still here. Nothing nice about KH though. That guy had issues.

      What do you mean? He seemed normal enough.

          Normal? This is presumably some strange usage of the word "normal" I had not previously been familiar with.

            He wasn't normal, but he was very entertaining and half of the time I even believed he was as smart as he said he was.

                  Remember that Poly is the benchmark and it's Oerdin making the comment.

                    Well, there are degrees of abnormality. How many people constantly refer to others who are perhaps decades older than themselves as 'kid'?

                              The orthodox resolution of the "paradox" is that the geiger counter's triggering constitutes the collapse of the wave function.

                                You shouldn't really admit to an emotional weakness like that on here, Ramo. People will be throwing fizzix threads at you left right and centre.
