Last post wins!!!!!

[perfect_pitch]

So far - GREAT!!!

[compline]

[perfect_pitch]

It is better to have people think you're dumb, than to type nothing and remove all doubt.

 

[Bob]

?


Wait... 


 

[perfect_pitch]

It was a nice try at playing Compline, but you're competing against the best here...

...as well as Bob and Outin.

[Bob]

How about a little of this?   

 

[perfect_pitch]

Is it legal to shoot annoying people who thrust their awful 4-beat-repetitive harmonies against your will, if you're trapped on the train with them???

When most people ask me what's wrong with music these days...

...this is the answer - the complete and truly perfect example of what's wrong with music these days.

[Bob]

I could only take part of the beginning and then skipped to the end.

[perfect_pitch]

I listened to the first 7 seconds of it, then stuck a screwdriver through my ears to block out the pain.

[Bob]

Ugh.... I should have known not to google "ear clean music" while eating.  I thought the music part would get better results.

[perfect_pitch]

If there's one thing Google can do - is take a seemingly innocent phrase and turn it into something perverse.

Also, if you find the results a little bit too sordid for your taste - it means you're still sane.. or possibly naive.   

[Bob]

So you were talking about your win....

Oh, I'm sorry.  That was rude.

I see your David Tennant and raise you...



Hope you enjoyed your measly half hour win.

[visitor]

si.

[Bob]

[perfect_pitch]

And YET another failed attempt to embed a gif on this forum.

Give up Bob - you know you can't win.

[outin]

I see your David Tennant and raise you...

And then it's me who has the winning hand

[perfect_pitch]

You need to break the rules a little more:

[Bob]

And then an ocean sunfish swam by.  Randomly.

[perfect_pitch]

And then a random shark swam by... randomly...





...and ate the sunfish.



...and then won the thread.

[Bob]

There's still something about that shark's eye, even though it looks fake....

[perfect_pitch]

I'd be more worried about his teeth.

[Bob]

After enlightenment on the other thread.

[perfect_pitch]

And there's a black hole... goodbye enlightenment.

[outin]

I'll buy you a ticket to the black hole in the center of our galaxy. You can always win when you return, right?

[Bob]

I see the ticket, but the person seems to have disappeared....

[perfect_pitch]

Here he is... just moments before the event horizon.

[Bob]

[perfect_pitch]

Yeah... this would be terrifying to see from space:

[outin]

I would be much happier to see it from space than on the planet in question

[perfect_pitch]

True...

[Bob]

Yeah... this would be terrifying to see from space:

I don't think it would look like that.  I think it would be more gradual in some way.  Not that this pic is much better.  I don't think a black hole would spew anything out while it's eating a planet.


Maybe a bit more like this even though this is supposed to be a star.  I would think the planet getting sucked in would heat up overall with everything being shifted and deformed a little.

They can radiate though, so best to keep your helmet on...

Yeah - and maybe some UV 50000+ skin cream - just in case.

[Bob]

What would it take to withstand something like that?  That amount of heat and that amount of gravity/stretching?

[perfect_pitch]

I suspect you'd literally need to be suspended in a vacuum in order for it not to take effect? But then you need oxygen, so goodness knows.

[Bob]

The Sun's 5,778 K / 27 million degrees Fahrenheit (15 million degrees Celsius)  from a quick google search.  I tried searching a little for what temperature a vehicle that actually exists could withstand but that was too generic for searching.  I gave up though.  I doubt there's anything in that direction or we'd have heard about it.  They'd have something that could sit on lava that would be in use.

For a blackhole (or the Sun), there's gravity.   I thought or pictured things being ripped down to atoms or more when they go into a black hole.


Here's something -- 3.83 million miles from the Sun.
https://science.howstuffworks.com/how-close-can-get-to-sun.htm
"The sun's surface temperature is a stifling 10,340 degrees Fahrenheit (5,726 degrees Celsius). Curiously though, the area that surrounds the sun is even hotter."
"the corona is liable to be 300 times hotter than the surface. "

And there's radiation too I guess.


My solution?  I'd just warp space so you're "there" but not affected by any of that.  Yeah, that's what I do.  Just warp space a bit and make a bubble.

Oh, that's just a bit more than a regular Finnish sauna...I'd enjoy the heat and then hop through my wormhole to cool down on an ice planet

Very philosophical!  This may be the secret to life: "Just warp space so you're "there".  As long as you don't warp too much. 

I shall now warp space so I am "there": I win and this is FINAL!    (or is this too much?)

Ooops, seems my wormhole brought me back to this thread and ruined your win!

[Bob]

*Bob collects distant light and peers back at the very beginning of the thread. [and wonders what came before that. ]  Then Bob switches direction to see the end of the thread....*

[perfect_pitch]

3 days... I had the win for 3 days straight.

You just couldn't let me win, could you???   

[Bob]

This place dies down on the weekends.  Weekend time here isn't the same as weekday time. If you win during the weekDAYs... well, that's a little something more than those plain weekENDs.... Anyone can win during the weekends... Unless it's me and then it really is a big deal....

[perfect_pitch]

You can try to beat me, but ultimately you know:



I bought that little lapel just for you Bob.

[Bob]

And then a fisherman appeared to encourage everyone....

 

[perfect_pitch]

Pfffft... I don't need a freezing Japanese man to encourage me...

I know I'm going to win this thread.

[Bob]

[perfect_pitch]

I don't believe that - my astrologer tells me things are going to be better tomorrow.

My psychic told me that as well.   

[outin]

Smiling makes my face hurt...

[perfect_pitch]

Well, they say it takes 42 muscles to smile, but only 4 to extend the middle finger to the world around you.

Plus, it's good exercise for finger 3.
