GWC Podcast #122

I knew a couple guys in college (the genius kids, natch) who would come up with odd words and challenge each other to work them into their papers. E.g., “Deluxe”

All you padawans, that’s your next test. Work “deluxe” into your next paper/essay. Report back. (This will test your Jedi Mind Trick skill.)

For Audra

Superbad Evangelical

And that is why Bond gets the women.

Besides which, I love the whole, hey let’s have a man coming out of the water shot (traditionally bikini-clad women, btw) for a change. :slight_smile:

Well, with the hundreds of half-naked woman emerging out of water in 007 movies throughout the years, I can’t object to men returning the favor every now and then.

Is that the regular or deluxe challenge?

I don’t know. It depends. I only saw ‘Leap of Faith’ once and therefore didn’t get the reference. But now that you’ve explained it, I want to give it another looksie.

OTOH, I loved ‘My Blue Heaven’ and have used, “Excuse me. Can I borrow your pin?” several times. When I use it I don’t expect anyone to get it. It’s a private joke with myself.

What’s great about the forum is if you throw an obscure reference you can put a linky and people can get in on the joke. Pike is great for that. Bringing the knowledge.

I have virtually the same body hair pattern as Daniel Craig…Hm.

That’s all we share in common though XD

Thanks for the lovin’ ThotFullGuy. Got to make another one tomorrow, luckily it is already podcast editing day

Ok, I need you to include one little thing in your next intro.
I need you say: “ThotFullGuy, this is your 6:45 Wake Up Call. Time to get up!”
I’m going to take that and use it as my morning wake up alarm.:smiley:

Yeah, that man has an incredible body. Too bad with his hair like that, his head looks like a potato.

ETA: a potato with really big ears.

Today is Doc Brown’s birthday
Christopher Lloyd turns 69 today

I posted this in the TV show thread. Not sure if anyone has mentioned here. Do you think Seth is a fan of GWC? Cuz that would be SUH-weet!

That is the coolest most awesome BTTF thing I’ve ever seen

I would have thought he’d be older? Maybe all the time travael confused my brain

And he has a real pout, like he’s purposely sticking out his lips

I love a challenge. You’re sure you don’t want me to just email it to you?

Grandfather paradox
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

The grandfather paradox is a proposed paradox of time travel, first described by the science fiction writer René Barjavel in his 1943 book Le Voyageur Imprudent (The Imprudent Traveller).[1] The paradox is this: suppose a man traveled back in time and killed his biological grandfather before the latter met the traveller’s grandmother. As a result, one of the traveller’s parents (and by extension, the traveller himself) would never have been conceived. This would imply that he could not have travelled back in time after all, which in turn implies the grandfather would still be alive, and the traveller would have been conceived, allowing him to travel back in time and kill his grandfather. Thus each possibility seems to imply its own negation, a type of logical paradox.

An equivalent paradox is known (in philosophy) as autoinfanticide—that is, going back in time and killing oneself as a baby—though when the word was first coined in a paper by Paul Horwich he used the odd version autofanticide.[2]

The grandfather paradox has been used to argue that backwards time travel must be impossible. However, a number of possible ways of avoiding the paradox have been proposed, such as the idea that the timeline is fixed and unchangeable, or the idea that the time traveler will end up in a parallel timeline, while the timeline in which the traveler was born remains independent.

That is awesome. Now, I dare you to do it with Terminator franchise. I bet it’s impossible. I triple dare you.

Pike is so creative, that’s amazing.

sorry I can’t take credit for it, I found it on wikipedia, but it is all I can think about this week, all the various timelines.

I know, I love trying to figure it out. I would definitely do one for terminator, including SCC, if someone wants to give me a hand :wink:
