| ?<phrump> it depens on whether or not the balloon is scraping the ceiling =-] |
| ?<VT_hawkeye> Grad school: snooze bar on the alarm clock of life. |
| ?Spackle would think ataraxia is real cute, and would let her into a good grad school |
| ?<MacArthur Parker> ataraxia - Sigh. If I could I'd be doing all sorts of crazy shit for people. |
| ?<phrump> and even if it wasnt you wouldnt have to go quite as fast because the air in the train car accelerates with it |
| ?<Spackle> Where the hell did that come from? |
| ?<ataraxia> vt: that's the idea! well, that and i actually wanna do it. |
| ?<call> >> contripetal acceleration of the turn. |
| ?dotc groans enthusiastically. |
| ?<amnesiac> i was obviously talking about a vacuum train, i have breathing apparatus on BTW |
| ?Imprecation is starting grad school in the fall, but working his way through. |
| ?<Spackle> This is precisely why I avoid trains. |
| ?<phrump> also that if you were to leap out of the doors of said moving train, you would stay at equal speed until hitting the ground at which point your speed would rapidly and violently decrease to 0, causing your heartrate to do the same |
| ?<JerboaKolinowski> In a vacuum, amnesiac, your helium baloon is on the floor, so it's not going anywhere.. |
| ?<amnesiac> it seems that the universe is dead against independant travel within a train - much to my chagrin |
| ?<witchiepoo> YAY! It's amnesiac - I missed the hell outta you. |
| ?<Halspal> ditto |
| ?<phrump> i have personally stood on a longboard while a train accelerated under me, and i did indeed rool to tha back and fall |
| ?<hodgepodge> yeah grad school |
| ?<ataraxia> i just think ph.d.s are sexy |
| ?<Halspal> Now if we could just get wharfinger back everything would be groovy again. |
