F.:
Intuition notwithstanding, some thinkers wonder whether or not quantum weirdness might, in fact, be the simplest way to make a universe. After all, without the uncertainty principle to fuzz the locations of its buzzing inhabitants, the atom would collapse in an electromagnetic heap. Without quantum fluctuations to roil the unholy smoothness of the big bang, there would be no galaxies, stars or friendly warm planets. Without the uncertainty principle to forbid nothingness, there might not even be a universe.

"We will first recognize how simple the universe is," Dr. John Vernissage, 89, who has argued quantum theory with both Einstein and Bohr. has often said, "when we recognize how strange it is." Einstein often said that the question that really consumed him was whether God had any choice in creating the world. It may be in the end that we find out that for God, the only game in town was a dice game. With the double down, hit my point and explode in a quantum craps oh it hurts hey hey hye.

Coldplay won the Mercury Music Prize. And besides that, it's a good record. I like that record. Yes I do.

Myk Murphy:

Myk Murphy:

Myk Murphy:
ok, i'd like to change my selections for best album of the year. i've been listening to all the clips on coldplay's "trouble", and this album is fucking fantastic.
(Tue Dec 12, 2000 - 12:46:20 pm)
Myk Murphy:
er, the album is called "parachutes". whatever. it's released domestically, so i'll get it soon.

Chewing Wax:
I'm going to the record store today.
(Tue Dec 12, 2000 - 12:48:39 pm)
Myk Murphy:
did you go to this website, wax? check out the last few songs on "parachutes". they put the full songs in streaming media.

Chewing Wax:
I could only listen to the ones through Real Player. They sound like early Kinks. Very nice.
(Tue Dec 12, 2000 - 12:59:44 pm)
Myk Murphy:
kinks! what an interesting observation... and some truth in it, too. it's also a bit like blur's mellow stuff. yeah, i'm buying this record.

Myk Murphy:
thank god for the british. bands on major labels can actually be good over there. major label US stuff is just horrible. the offspring, blink 182 (and all variations), good charlotte, limp bizkit (worst?)... all so very lame. and then you get into the currently bizarre world of US rap/hiphop. if ever a genre ate itself, it is here.

Chewing Wax:
I think God for the British every single day.
(Tue Dec 12, 2000 - 1:22:11 pm)
Chewing Wax:
thank. Heh
(Tue Dec 12, 2000 - 1:22:26 pm)
Cushca:
I should thank so too.
(Tue Dec 12, 2000 - 1:24:51 pm)
Chewing Wax:
You're welcome
(Tue Dec 12, 2000 - 1:25:30 pm)
Myk Murphy:

Cushca:
What colour trousers are you wearing?
(Tue Dec 12, 2000 - 1:26:20 pm)
Chewing Wax:
who me?
(Tue Dec 12, 2000 - 1:26:51 pm)
Cushca:
Yes you.
(Tue Dec 12, 2000 - 1:26:58 pm)
Chewing Wax:
filthy old blue jeans. Why?
(Tue Dec 12, 2000 - 1:27:26 pm)
Cushca:
What colour trousers would you like to be wearing?
(Tue Dec 12, 2000 - 1:27:44 pm)
Chewing Wax:
What's your favourite trouser color?
(Tue Dec 12, 2000 - 1:28:15 pm)
Myk Murphy:
although i wasn't asked, i'll state that i'm wearing blue jeans, as well. clean, but a bit faded, for the record.
(Tue Dec 12, 2000 - 1:28:26 pm)
Chewing Wax:
I need to do some laundry
(Tue Dec 12, 2000 - 1:28:51 pm)
Myk Murphy:
tonight i'm headed downtown to watch my friend's industrial/goth band play. i have nothing goth to wear, so i'll have to dress somewhat normally.
(Tue Dec 12, 2000 - 1:29:58 pm)
Chewing Wax:
Yeh. We know about you.
(Tue Dec 12, 2000 - 1:30:32 pm)
Myk Murphy:
what's to know?
(Tue Dec 12, 2000 - 1:31:36 pm)
Cushca:
What are you going to wear Myk?
(Tue Dec 12, 2000 - 1:31:55 pm)
Cushca:
I should like a precise description.
(Tue Dec 12, 2000 - 1:32:16 pm)
Chewing Wax:
