Yeah, I know, but just after I realised, TFP was down for maintenance, and I had to go out before it came back on line.

Sorry, buddy. My bad. Spank me...

4 years can feel like the longest time when you're waiting for something like that...better to go with the flow

2x1x(3/3)=2

Sorry to not quote more of you, and also asking you to forgive my Lenten tide of absence, (I lasted two weeks! Take that, Xerxys!) but in my then fuller days of pondering how to go along with this updated calendar of mine, I realized that the number of hours measured in terms of a full calendar year I was working with from the start was only an estimate (about ~2 difference from a true tropical solar year of return).

Having discovered that little nick in my plans, I bring you updated progress on this calendarous endeavor:

the 27-day compression into a month stays the same, and we will continue to abide 12 months into a year.

the small change that came from these calculations is that every year-and-a-half or so, we get a build-up of 9 hours and change to be allocated into the next year, and to continually try to assign all of these hours into a new leap year was taking too much painstaking effort.

The solution: instead of a 324-day year, we just bump it up to a 325-day year, with the leap year coming every 3rd year, and consisting of a true 12-month, 27 day cycle (so, basically, the leap year, we just get rid of the 28th day that we had the previous two years). Awesome. That bit of calculation is finit [and if anybody would like to see it in-detail, just ask; I didn't write much of it down, but I checked it at least 12 times every day, if not hour, to make sure I didn't screw up along the way.]


Now, regarding OCM's query about the risings of the sun and moon and jazz and breakfast: well, that threw a wrench into this offhanded quest of mine to create a better and more defined calendar, without numerous tricks, loopholes and incessant leap years (even though you can't get rid of them entirely). So, I also took MOAB's tip or suggestion of what it would be like to have metric time, and voila, I can actually a 27-hour day work now.


The way it goes is as so: the minute will no longer be 60 seconds long, but a full 100 seconds. To compensate and organize it as such, our ntions of what an hour used to be will have to be quelched. The new hour will consist of an even 32 minutes for each hour, and I have yet to come up with a snazzy title for it, but for those that would like it, every 3 hours will known as something like a "true trial hour" (I have a real hard time coming up with poem and book titles, so no surprise it is lacking).


So, all addressed, the new day (which is still pending, maybe the 14th of March?) for which this calendar will spawn will be host to a new 27-hour day, which consists of a time period of 13 hours marking daytime, another 13 hours to be known as our new nighttime, and finally, a longstanding uninclusion now to be recognized as the hour of twilight.

Questions, comments, new day / month naming suggestions? (July and August may be up for consideration / omission)

that sounds pretty cool!! I like it!

Well, at least I thank you for naming it after me.

Welcome back, Jet. I hope your sacrifice was philosophically and physically satisfying.

Just sang Sea of Love, Aqualung, and Detachable Penis at Kareoke tonight. A good night.

In this photo released by the Syrian official news agency SANA on Tuesday, March 2, 2010, Hellenistic coins dating back to the era of Alexander the Great are seen after they were discovered in northern Syria, the head of the archaeological excavation department in the Aleppo province said Thursday, March 4, 2010. More than 250 Hellenistic coins were discovered by a Syrian man two weeks ago in the Manbej area as he was digging a plot of land he owns to build a house on it, said Youssef Kanjo, head of the archaeological excavation department in Aleppo. (AP Photo/SANA)

Who has ownership,
the said archaeologists
or the land-owner?

That might be a future article (and potential controversy) unto itself.

Only a few more to go, and we have done it!

Hey has anyone decided what we gonna do once we have been crowned the "longest"?

Are we gonna keep going, or just fade away?


.

we will simply post enough to fall in the hall of fame and then fade away. i would say about 1000 posts more than any other thread for now.

(2-13)+6=-5

only 700ish to go!! let's aim for 10posts a day and make this a 2 month deal. By this summer, I want this thread to be #1!!

& you shall have it,
with some cooperation.
I will do my part.

this is the sixth post of the day...I'll be back to do more later.

So what thread is currently the longest?

Depends. The most prominent target of our efforts is the "word association...again" thread on this forum. They are right now at 22091 and we're at 21370.

Although I haven't fully researched it, I suspect there might be an even longer one out there in the universe.

on TFP: that word ass... is the longest. In the world or universe, there has been threads that expand to the 100,000s and more.

I hear Jupiter has a thread in the millions.

damn! let's try to beat jupiter then.

I feel for poor old Pluto

It'd be easier if our endeavrs included one with super mod/admin powers, then one of us could merge threads into this one, and say it was here all along.

But then, that'd be unchivalrous.

I wonder: if we get nearer to the goal, say, with 300 posts, should I exploit the rabbit hole of continous, monotonous doubleposting pain-in-the-ass repeating, or should I not even try to sacrifice it?


mmm... sacrifice.

Seven Blunders of the World

1. Wealth without work
2. Pleasure without conscience
3. Knowledge without character
4. Commerce without morality
5. Science without humanity
6. Worship without sacrifice
7. Politics without principle

— Mahatma Gandhi

So, you, too, saw the most recent episode of NOVA, with astrophysicist / superhero extraordinaire, Neil DeGrasse Tyson, explaining and exalting the mysteries and reasons as to why Pluto is so unique as a "celestial object" in our heavens? Right on being informed, Senor Zooks.

I'll imagine this is the way.

wait: the dog or the planet?

I recently heard a good random remark suggesting that the unfortunately known-title to current galaxial planet Uranus, and how it results in chortles abound, well, should be renamed to something more along the lines of "Bluto or somethin'".

I agree. I like updating and renaming things to fit a more modern society. Those in favor to recognize and petition a re-evulation towards Uranus (you chuckled, I know it) and see it re-adhered as Bluto, I'm all ears.

I try to be as quick, while providing something of (somewhat) interesting value:

(did the hotlinking work? I try not to accomplish this too often, but I had to be as quick as a hare)

Ummmm No, I simple saw a post (on this thread, a few pages back, I think) referring to Pluto's "castration" from the rest of the planets, and did a Google.

But, I'll go along with your suggestion, if you would prefer.... :thumbsup:

I wonder who made a commnt about it? I, perhaps, should endeavor on a search of my own.

(but also: this piece of new occurred some several years ago, right around the turn from 2006-07. I even have a rap song dedicated to the news.)

Thats gotta be from April 1st, surely....


Already did the search thing. It wasn't on TFP, about Pluto....

seems like we didn't make it?! oh well.

Note "# of views"
& compared to the nameless
this thread's way ahead.

wonder what the conversion rate is

so I wonder who's winning the Academy Awards?

I've had this one website opened in my browser for more than 3 weeks, and only yesterday did I finally read the 4+ paragraphs that left me trembling.


Turns out, I could've watched all the Academy-Nominated live-action short films all this time (or maybe since March 2) and been caught-up in time to pick my favorite. I didn't though.

Here's the link within the site: Shorts International Present - The Oscar Nominated Short Film 2010

I already posted all of the animated short film nominees here (as well as a few of the shortlisted ones that perhaps should have nominated instead of Granny O'Grimm, among others).

My heart wants "Lady and The Reaper" to win, but this one paragraph really sums up what you could expect to happen:

The idea of releasing the ten Academy Award nominated animated and live-action short films in one package into theaters is such a great one that it's a wonder no one thought of it sooner than a few years ago. As with any collection of shorts, these are always a mixed bag, especially given the Academy's century-long penchant for awarding "important" films rather than good ones. But lo and behold, there are some wonderful things here, too, and one, The Lady and the Reaper, that is just flat-out excellent.

I will refrain from making any predictions here, as it's nearly impossible to guess whether the Academy is interested in quality or in the mood for messages. Not to mention that there is one X-factor: Nick Park. Up to now, Park has won every single Oscar he has been nominated for, except one, and that's only because Creature Comforts and A Grand Day Out competed against each other in 1989 and one of them had to lose. Will the Academy feel obligated to give Park a fifth Oscar? Or has Wallace & Gromit grown a little tired over the years? Personally, I found A Matter of Loaf and Death highly accomplished and enjoyable, but fairly minor; it's not much different from the last entry, A Close Shave.

and here's the live-action film summaries:

Who won?

(I'm never, ever, watching an awards ceremony again, and very sparsely going to stay tuned to one after a championship victory. Boring and awkward clique central.)

You know, BadNick, you have recently tapped into the theme of one of my newes ideas for a thread: the world of miniatures.

I've only delayed in creating it because I want a catchy title for it (I already have multiple dozen posts waiting to be queued).

Do you have a good title for the thread BadNick? (something like "It's a Small World After All")

PS

Logorama won.

Jet, I really like your idea to start a thread about miniatures.

Your suggested title is cute with an upbeat positive connotation. An idea I had was "It's not how big it is...." relating to something I heard once about getting the most out of something even if it's a small something.

and just to reinforce the notion that, indeed, "It's a Small World After All", and how I run across at least one 'Alice' reference every single day, we have this:

Watch 1903's Alice in Wonderland for free.

Alice in Wonderland (1903), the first-ever film version of Lewis Carroll’s tale, has recently been restored by the BFI National Archive and premiered at a celebration of the history of the classic story at the British Library.

Made just 37 years after the novel’s publication and eight years after the birth of cinema, the first film adaptation was directed by Cecil Hepworth and Percy Stow, and was based on Sir John Tenniel’s original illustrations. Hepworth cast his wife as the Red Queen, and he himself appears as the Frog Footman. His production secretary May Clark played Alice, and even the family cat and dog got in on the act. The cat played the Cheshire Cat, and the dog would go on to become the first authentic British film star (canine or otherwise) to have his name in the credit of a film when he headlined the pioneering chase film Rescued By Rover in 1905.

Although originally running just 12 minutes, Alice in Wonderland was the longest film produced in England at that time and represented a major investment for the pioneering Hepworth Studios. However, despite its historical importance, it was almost lost for good, and just one incomplete print is known to survive.
