Also, the coffin thing you mentioned.

Polar bears. Just polar bears.

This looked like it could be an interesting thread until I realised it was about Lost.

[djtoast]

Ha, snap.

Re: the polar bears. Anyone interested should listen to the Damon/Carlton podcast which has started back up again:
--http://abc.go.com/primetime/lost/index?pn=podcast

It talks about how the polar bear in Tunisia is related to the Orchid Orientation Video. (The one released that has the rabbit that.. teleports from the future?).

If you haven't seen the Orchid Orientation Video, then here:

YouTube - New Lost Season 4 Sneak Peak!!! New...

Choice YouTube video comments:

1. 0:39-I can't tell what it is
2. 0:49-a building
3. 1:09-"God loves you as he loved Jacob"

Something falls at 1:29. The rabbit he is holding is #15, but the rabbit that suddenly appears is also #15. He's yelling "don't let them touch each other". Strikes me as a "back to the future" if they see each other, time will explode kind of thing. Ha ha. She set it at "-20" and it's been "9 minutes" since she did so.

4. 1:42-upside down shot of a kid riding a bike in front of some duplexes

A couple things
1)move cursor to 00:09. that look like a building kinda like a mosque...
2) move cursor to 00:49 & thats a building, but see the thing sticking out behind the building (left)doesn't that look like the needle thing in Seattle Washington?
3)after a white line on 1:14, click repeatedly on the play/pause button. Around 1:20 go slowly! On 1:22-1:23 note the balloon thing that falls, it starts above the trashcan on the left of the guy...
Just wondering if anyone else caught that..

[djtoast]

135.58K ???

I'm guessing not!

that's a sorta counting down from something without an upper boundary sorta thing to my little brain

Yeah, that's the angle I was coming from the problem at. It's a problem with the logic of the language, not the maths.
It's like the "a six foot man has a three foot son, is it correct to say the son is twice as small as the father?" problem. The answer being "no". Using the zero is just a tool for fudging the issue. I think.

You can convert it to whatever, half it, and convert it back, but you'll get different answers. "Twice as cold" doesn't make any sense.

I deleted that because I thought I was talking bollocks. I was at a thing tonight where there was free booze.

Away and shit up your own thread, Moderators/Editor.

Oh, there was a deleted scene in the last episode there that had Miles (Ghostbuster) passing through the seemingly activated fence without any side effects. MENTAL.

i think you could argue that temperature is a measure of energy, and that since "cold" is a subjective term (wheras energy isn't) it's fair to try to strip that aspect away and answer the question (if asked to) in an objective way. 15 degrees celcius is hot if it's a gin and tonic, or cold if it's a bowl of soup that's being described, but "hot" and "cold" unambiguously refer to an attempt to indicate the energy present in the vibration of the molecules in the substance (and give it meaning to a human interacting with it).

but paraphrasing seems fair, otherwise it would never be permissable to call someone "tall" without qualification - compared to what / whom? hooooooooooom.. yet it would be foolishness to depreive ourselves if these useful and understood terms; language needn't always be inflexibly precise to convey meaning accurately. kareem abdul jabbar doesn't stop being tall when he stands next to the General Sherman tree. the comparison to "twice as short" doesn't quite match exactly cos there's no fixed limits at either end of the scale but absolute zero gives us a bottom end to give the comparitive term meaning. if someone asked that question i'd try to clarify what they meant, but in the absence of further information, twice as cold can only be interpreted as half as hot surely? which we can privde an answer for.
