The official 'how long can it take to say nothing' thread

Still wondering about the Riemann Sphere. Thinking we need a bloke with a maths degree to explain how to apply this to the bee/train problem.

 

OK. Riemann spheres extend the complex plane with an additional point to represent infinity. The complex plane is a representation of the real and imaginary parts of complex numbers.

 

In our bee/train situation we could hope that both the bee and the train are imaginary, so we can forget about them. Or indeed, if either is imaginary and the other real, the imaginary one will have no effect on the real one, in which case the bee could survive as being hit by an imaginary train wouldn't hurt much, I imagine.

 

If both are real, they clearly won't be for long as the bee will be a pretty complex mess.

 

And if they're both complex, the situation is obviously far too complex to predict. :)

The tribe is not happy. Their leader "Bumble" was found 226 miles away stuck to the front of a train. The funeral will be held once Bumble is returned to his homeland.

 

At least someone is taking this seriously, some of you others really make me wonder. His name was indeed Bumble, the year was 1998 in the south of England. He was a short haired bumble bee. The tribe not being happy is an understatement as Bumble was the last short haired bee left. All his widows were faced with the invidious choice of celebacy or lesbianism. With regard to the rotation of the earth as i have already said he was heading northwards that hardly comes into it. besides which anyone who introduces the rotation of the earth into a topic ought to at least empty water down the plug hole 10 times and report if clockwise or counter clockwise together with their location. Both the train and the bee were real, after that day the bee was imaginery. Who do I blame? Rupert Lowe. Lowe league position, Lowe gates, Lowe number of bees, in fact nothing. Now if you could find (I haven't googled) an oriental businessman called Mr Hi it could usher in a new era for you.

It is all very well talking about nothing and, indeed, it has improved the quality of debate on this forum no end. My concern is that we have threads still talking about somebody. Should we not extend what we are discussing to include nobody? After all, when talking about nobody it is only nobdy that gets offended, not a lot of other people. Nobody thought of that?

I am a nobody and could very easily get upset if people keep having a go at nobody. Nobody is perfect I hear you say. Very nice if you know me but if not I feel as though you are taking the P. Nobody gives a toss you reply. I do not do that either. Not in public anyway.

Meanwhile

 

I recall once upon a time being in Blighty when it hit 100F, now that was hot.

 

In the past few days we've been kitting out a warehouse. It doesn't have a/c as it is just for "storage" which down here means nobody actually is ever supposed to load/unload from it or put up some DIY racking.

 

It was 49C yesterday. It will be 49C today. It was actually 52C yesterday but if it officially goes over 49 then all employees have to be sent home so remarkably it is never officially as hot as it is.

 

Now, 49C is interesting, because after about 20 minutes outside in that, your brain turns into a Poopey fan's brain (ie a pile of gooey melted mush) and amazingly you can think of absolutely nothing clearly.

 

At which point you don't notice an effing bee has settled on your arm, so you don't flap it away and the fooker just stings you.

 

I will forever blame "you know who" for bringing the Bee story to the public domain once again, obviously the global bee internet is rife with the story and they are out on a mission of revenge against all forum members

 

Bee warned, they are out to get you.
