@Gigili "over". What rights does a woman have over her husband?

Fox in socks

Hi all

David Wallace

Hi Fox.

Fox in socks

20:35

How are you?

Where are you from?

David Wallace

Who me? I'm very well. And I live just outside of Wellington, in New Zealand. Yourself?

Robusto

What up, me babies?

Mahnax

Um, hi!

Robusto

I have to give the star to the ESL proposal. Mad props.

Mahnax

I have followed the ESL proposal.

It's a great idea.

Cerberus

20:49

Hi.

Mahnax

Hello Cerb!

Have any of you seen Google's doodle for Alan Turing's birthday?

Cerberus

No?

Mahnax

It's neat.

google.co.nz

Cerberus

Nice.

Though I must admit I was too lazy to actually understand it, so I just solved it without understanding.

Mahnax

Hehe.

Cerberus

21:04

It was the quickest way.

Mahnax

Yep.

I'm done my exams now!

MetaEd

Congrats

Cerberus

Yay!

All went well?

MetaEd

@Mahnax Nice. I failed the Turing test.

Mahnax

@Cerberus Yes! It was so easy!

I was expecting a really difficult test, but I was pleasantly surprised.

Cerberus

21:08

Haha I'm not surprised.

You always get good marks.

@MetaEd What happened?

You discovered a robot inside of you?

Gigili

@Mahnax Great.

Mahnax

@Gigili I agree. It's cool.

Gigili

Robusto

I ate some pi and it was delicious. Or, more literally, i 8 sum pi and it was delicious.

Mahnax

The screen was too full.

Gigili

21:14

Ah, Reg is back. I thought he was forward.

Cerberus

Haha.

Mahnax

Well, I'm going to go for a bit.

Bye!

Matt Эллен

Bye!

Cerberus

Bai!

Have fun going!

Will you be black or white?

Gigili

@DavidWallace Aha, thanks you.

Fox in socks

21:24

Is right to say: I sad to myself...

or without to?

cornbread ninja

@Foxinsocks do you mean 'said'?

Fox in socks

Yes! Sorry :)

cornbread ninja

there is nothing wrong with I said to myself

one can also think to oneself

and I think to myself / what a wonderful world

Fox in socks

Thanks.

cornbread ninja

you are welcome!

MetaEd

21:44

@cornbreadninja Thank heaven ... for little girls

@cornbreadninja You're so vain ... I bet you think this song is about you

@cornbreadninja ... 'cause aliens ate my Buick.

Matt Эллен

21:57

Stupid neighbours and their stupid garden light. they're not even out there. I can almost see a star, it just registers off foveally. I'd see a whole bunch more if it weren't for their stupid flood light.

MetaEd

What do the stupid neighbors say about it?

Matt Эллен

"Buh durr hurr hurr"

But they've drawn their curtains, and the light has gone away!

Cerberus

Yay!

Matt Эллен

I guess it's actually in their conservatory

so now I can see two stars!

better than 100% increase

MetaEd

22:13

I saw Benny Goodman once.

Matt Эллен

congrats?

Cerberus

Wow you live in a neighbourhood where people have conservatories?

MetaEd

@Cerberus Technically I failed the Turing Machine Operator Test. The other just sounded better.

Matt Эллен

@Cerberus I guess so. one between all of us. :D

maybe it's better described as a sun lounge

yeah, that's more like it

not that one in particular, but pretty much the same

MetaEd

Nice.

Maybe not so nice on those 45° days.

Matt Эллен

22:20

I guess it must get quite hot at noon, yeah

probably a bit uncomfortable

Mahnax

Hello again.

Matt Эллен

22:37

good night.

Mahnax

Good night @Matt!

@Gigili "What are the rights of a women with respect to her husband?" is how to say it in English.

MetaEd

Of a women, eh. So now we're back to polygyny.

Mitch

@MetaEd ?? Just random song snippets?

@MetaEd argh! see I don't do this on purpose.

Cerberus

@MetaEd Hmm wha?

@MattЭллен Ohh I see.

Mitch

@Gigili "What are the rights of a woman with respect to her husband?" is how to say it in English.

MetaEd

@Cerberus I went to the Google Turing machine, tried very briefly, and failed to get the required output. I failed. Failed, failed, failed.

Cerberus

23:16

Aww.

I even succeeded without understanding.

MetaEd

But I do want to say in my defense that I failed for lack of interest.

:-)

Cerberus

I failed to understand for the same reason.

Hehe.

MetaEd

@MattЭллен Is that a knife I see there in that conservatory?

Q: Talk and Talk About

He talked football. He talked about football. How are they different?

This is not going very well.
