It is the busiest shipping area in the world. It is about 560 km (350 mi) long and varies in width from 240 km (150 mi) at its widest ..."

[14:48:16] <pinchy> 11 bazillion dollars
[14:50:03] <AndyTheAbsurd> I'll settle for winning tomorrow night's mega millions jackpot
[14:50:24] <AndyTheAbsurd> it's 458 million dollars
[14:50:36] <pinchy> would u even bother to collect your things from work if you won?
[14:50:38] <AndyTheAbsurd> which is several boatloads more dollars than I currently have.
[14:51:54] <pinchy> i saw some old woman buying lotto tickets at the gas station. it was sad. she spent a couple of minutes picking out which scratch offs to buy
[14:52:06] <pinchy> "no not that one gimme that one and that one blah blah"
[14:52:22] <AndyTheAbsurd> hmmm... I don't have much that I'm sentimental about here, but I'd probably still clean up my stuff when I came in to quit ('cause I'd want to do that in person).
[14:52:42] <pinchy> "nope i wanted the mega millions not the lotto punch bowl"
[14:53:42] <pinchy> hah someone at work was joking aobut that. "i prolly wouldnt even call to say i quit, might give boss a call but thats stretching it"
[14:53:53] <AndyTheAbsurd> I rarely buy lotto tickets, when I do it's generally "pick the numbers" ones not scratch, I only play when the jackpots are above $400 million, and I never spend money that I will have a hard time doing without on something with such an unlikely return.
[14:55:54] <Sulla> If I won the loto id still go to work
[14:56:05] <Sulla> Its the period of eternal short-timers
[14:56:24] <Sulla> Tell everyone what I think, actually call people out for problems
[14:56:41] <pinchy> heck yea, no fear of getting fired
[14:56:47] <AndyTheAbsurd> LOL
[14:56:53] <AndyTheAbsurd> I do that shit anyway
[14:57:19] <cmn32480> then claim unemployment if they fire you
[15:08:06] <pinchy> more command scroll back misses the first line. what a jip, will have to start using less instead
[15:09:11] <boru> I do that at work already.
[15:09:24] <boru> Here's to meritocracy.
[15:10:35] <AndyTheAbsurd> less is more... less +F is also tail -f.
[15:16:23] <boru> Aye, less is far more useful.

[15:58:08] <upstart> ^ 03Remington: America's oldest gun maker files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
[16:05:44] <chromas> Well they did it. The march won
[16:06:32] <AndyTheAbsurd> would it be heresy to suggest that you should RTFA?
[16:06:42] <chromas> Yes
[16:06:42] <AndyTheAbsurd> "Stephen Jackson, Remington's chief financial officer, said in the filing that the company has seen a significant decline in revenue and sales over the last 12 months."
[16:06:56] <AndyTheAbsurd> That's long before the march was organized.
[16:07:02] <chromas> Shhhh
[16:08:38] <chromas> Need to get Obama back into office so "they're terkin' are guns" can get the sales back up
[16:11:58] <AndyTheAbsurd> Obama's term limited, we'd need an amendment removing the two-term limit. Michelle Obama could get elected, though.
[16:12:34] <fyngyrz> Pretty sure that electing Sanders would have the same effect
[16:12:51] <fyngyrz> Or Clinton, etc.
[16:13:02] <chromas> Another option: Barack transitions, runs as Obamela.
[16:13:13] <fyngyrz> Also pretty sure next president will be a Dem, so buy those gun stocks now while they are depressed. :)
[16:13:40] <cmn32480> OBama is not term limited anymore
[16:13:58] <cmn32480> the way the amendment is written says for 2 consecutive terms
[16:13:58] <chromas> The limit doesn't apply to Kenyans?
[16:14:09] <fyngyrz> lol "Kenyans"
[16:14:19] <chromas> That's what I thought but I haven't read it in decades.
[16:14:23] <fyngyrz> same here
[16:14:36] <fyngyrz> I'd vote for him again.
[16:14:39] <chromas> So could you have two people tag team?
[16:14:47] <fyngyrz> I can't imagine he's want the job, though
[16:14:51] <cmn32480> Section 1
[16:14:51] <cmn32480> No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of President more than once. But this Article shall not apply to any person holding the office of President when this Article was proposed by Congress, and shall not prevent
[16:14:51] <cmn32480> any person who may be holding the office of President, or acting as President, during the term within which this Article becomes operative from holding the office of President or acting as President during the remainder of such term.
[16:14:56] <cmn32480> I mingth be incorrect
[16:15:21] <fyngyrz> so, no Barack
[16:15:26] <cmn32480> thank God
[16:15:33] <chromas> We just need an amendment
[16:15:40] <fyngyrz> Thank the founders, god had nothing to do with it
[16:15:43] <AndyTheAbsurd> Maximum time in office as President is ten years
[16:16:00] <cmn32480> Passed WAY after the founders.
[16:16:07] <AndyTheAbsurd> two when you get elevated from VP to President (death or resignation), then elected twice.
[16:16:08] <fyngyrz> ok, not the founders. The amenders :)
[16:16:28] <cmn32480> Truman was president when it was proposed in 1947 and ratified in 1951
[16:16:54] * cmn32480 is a little bitter.. we jsut got the health insurance premiums for next year
[16:17:21] <cmn32480> AndyTheAbsurd - only if you server <2 years of the elevated term
[16:18:57] <AndyTheAbsurd> okay, ten years minus one day if you want to get technical about it. :)
[16:21:52] <cmn32480> correct
[16:22:00] <cmn32480> and I do want to be technical about it!
[16:22:32] <fyngyrz> What about leap years?

[17:38:54] <cmn32480> Odo has nothign to do with this
[17:41:35] <AndyTheAbsurd> I wish that they'd accounted for mass when doing shapeshifty things with Odo
[17:42:23] <AndyTheAbsurd> He turned into some sort of medium-sized bird in one episode and flew around the station (or was it Starfleet Headquarters?)
[17:43:46] <AndyTheAbsurd> but his humanoid seems to have a mass approximately equivalent to a human of that size (i.e., he doesn't get blown around the corridors by the ventilation system).

[17:44:18] <AndyTheAbsurd> <voyager_thoughts>
[17:44:20] <cmn32480> apparently he has the ability to change his density
[17:44:38] <cmn32480> somethign I wish most people couild do...
[17:44:45] <AndyTheAbsurd> They could have done so much more with the doctor. Why can't he sprout extra limbs as needed?!</voyager_thoughts>
[17:45:41] <AndyTheAbsurd> most people that I've encountered are stuck permanently at a state of being quite dense.

[19:47:59] <AndyTheAbsurd> so the florida legislature decided that the state motto - "In God We Trust" - should be displayed in all public schools. (Passed 97-10, too.)
