Poor al, he doesn't get appreciated very often.
What do you mean, he doesn't get appreciated? He's the most often quoted scientist ever! |

Re: I Love This Game
Saber Cherry is not referring to Albert Einstein, but "...et AL..." from Ctennyson's original post.
This dwarf has never seen the "al" of Illwinter.

So am I. It's a standing joke among scientists, that everybody keeps citing papers where this "al" is among the list of co-authors, in each and every field of science...  |

Re: I Love This Game
Standing jokes amoung scientists are a problem. I guess like standing jokes amoung any field. It either works, or the explanation is longer than its worth.
I keep making reference to AI meaning "almost implemented" which is in over half of any paper done on AI. (Its a reference to a long list of projects which were AI until they were implemented then they got new names taking them out of AI leaving only un-achieved projects still referred to.)
Or the Priests of Quantum (quantum chaos theory, 11 dimensions, strings and membranes, all of which moves the scientific theories of how everything began back into line with creationism)

Re: I Love This Game
That would be what happens when you have a game community that is composed of people sufficiently erudite to actually have heard of and maybe worked with these concepts, as opposed to a game community composed primarily of 12 year olds.
