That's a long pause.
I'm waiting for Ms Cornbread's next message.
Can a mod kill someone with one bullet?
@Gigili Only if they use a magic bullet.
And in that case it usually kills more than one person at once.
The Single Bullet Theory (or Magic Bullet Theory, as it is commonly called by its critics) was introduced by the Warren Commission in its investigation of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy to explain what happened to the bullet which struck Kennedy in the back and exited through his throat. Given the lack of damage to the presidential limousine consistent with it having been struck by a high-velocity bullet and the fact that Texas Governor John Connally was wounded and was seated directly in front of the president, the Commission concluded they were likely struck by the sa...
Oh, I didn't know there was a single bullet theory.
Sounds exciting.
20:18
Oh, I get it now. Her next message was in the past. I would have been pawsing for ever.
@DavidWallace I meant this one: I take it you can view the history?
I get that now. I'm just a bit slow sometimes.
Sometimes.
@Gigili Go away, I hate you.
20:20
As if I care.
@DavidWallace whom?
I went away from chat for a while. :( I guess I should have read all the messages first.
awk ward...
20:36
At least she listened!
Why you hate Gigili?
It is in my nature to do so.
I wanted to paste that one earlier.
Koalas are nasty, smelly animals.
so I've heard.
Wouldn't that hurt quite a lot?

... too localized! I endorse Seven's comment ... — Xavier Vidal Hernández 5 mins ago
Probably. See the little white scratch marks immediately above where its claws are.
The ellipsis isn't helping.
As my boyfriend says, fuck bears.
Not to copulate, to disregard.
Koalas aren't bears.

> Although the koala is not a bear, English-speaking settlers from the late 18th century first called it koala bear due to its similarity in appearance to bears. Although taxonomically incorrect, the name koala bear is still in use today outside Australia.
I sit corrected.
I was going to guess marsupial, but I thought kangaroos were the only marsupials I'd heard of.
I'm spreading the word that they're not bears.
20:49
There are lots of different marsupials.
Koalas are marsupials.
(I think. Suddenly I'm not so sure).
But because marsupials were the main family of animals in Australia for quite a long time, they evolved into many ecological niches. I think there was even a dog-like marsupial for a while; but it was eventually made extinct by competition with dingoes.
So are possums, opossums, and Tasmanian Devils.
Not opossums.
Opossums are an American animal.
Marsupials are an infraclass of mammals living primarily in the Southern Hemisphere; a distinctive characteristic, common to most species, is that the young are carried in a pouch. Well-known marsupials include kangaroos, koalas, possums, opossums, wombats and the Tasmanian devil. Marsupials represent the clade originating with the last common ancestor of extant metatherians. Like other mammals in the Metatheria, they are characterized by giving birth to relatively undeveloped young, often residing in a pouch with the parent for a certain time after birth. Close to 70% of the 334 extant...
You must edit Wikipedia!
20:53
Well, TIL! I really thought opossums were rodents.
brb, dreadful work exercise
ugh.
screams
21:13
What? What?
Do you need to relocate to a beautiful albeit remote state?
Mayhap.
Vancouver sounds nice, though.
21:36
Vancouver is nice. Except for the hockey fans.
@Robusto Those are marsupials, aren't they?
@ΜετάEd Yeah. They eat eucalyptus and shit cough drops.
@Robusto Huh. Where is Halls located?
Hockey fans are marsupials? Explains a thing or two.
@Cerberus Could you answer a Grammar question for me?
21:40
Frankenstein never scared me.
@JohnJunior Why are you asking a dog? And a Dutch dog, at that?
But marsupials do.
@KitFox He didn't think it worth his trouble.
'Cause they're fast.
@KitFox Possums are fast?
21:41
Possums are aggressive.
@Robusto Who is the resident Grammar expert?
Just ask the flipping question. Someone who knows will answer.
@JohnJunior We share that responsibility.

Q: four plus two "equals" ( or "is equal to" or "is") six

John JuniorYou write 4 + 2 = 6 and say "four plus two equals (or is equal to or is) six." After reading the following passage here, equals is equal being a verb, in the present tense. is equal to is equal being a predicate adjective, with its auxiliary verb in the present tense. English is full of p...

You already have three answers, including one from Barrie.
21:46
@Robusto It's my Christopher Walken impression.
@KitFox Needs work. Sounded like Jack Nicholson.
@JohnJunior What @DavidWallace said. This isn't rocket surgery.
"It’s not my fault I’m pretty." This is a good read.
We are having boomers here. Cool.
@JohnJunior So, is there something you wanted to discuss?
None of the answers come up with more examples?
"English is full of pairs like this, useful if one needs an extra syllable."
21:56
We don't do lists, basically.
It's not constructive.
I didn't ask for a list.
4 mins ago, by John Junior
None of the answers come up with more examples?
Just something to compare/contrast with :)
@DavidWallace The possums round here run aggressively away, when they aren't simply aggressively passive.
@ΜετάEd At least they're not crusadingly mundane.
22:22
@ΜετάEd she needs a car.
Or, I don't know, a job that doesn't force a 10:30PM commute.
Bah.
@cornbreadninja She didn't have a car: she was asking for it. She worked late: she was asking for it.
Not that it would be bad for her to have a car.
22:36
Hey @Cerberus, I got volunteered to bring an appetizer for a picnic. Any ideas?
@ΜετάEd she makes it sound as though events on the order of Bicycle Man happen every day, though.
Most women don't realize how hard it is to be a man.
@ΜετάEd Those must be opossums then.
@SpareOom Stuffed mushrooms.
@DavidWallace What do you stuff them with, that will keep at 90 degree heat?
How long will they be at 32 degrees for?
@DavidWallace 4 hours, unless it rains.
It may not be quite that hot, but it's been near that.
Plus, do people like stuffed mushrooms? I do, but it seems like many people don't.
22:46
Umm, I have a couple of recipes for stuffed mushrooms. But you can probably find one online.
Yeah, I found a few that look good to me, but what's popular? Bacon, mozzarella cheese and oregano? What do you think?
@SpareOom I love them.
Hm, someone has been downvoting me once per day on MSO.
@Mahnax That's 3 mushroom lovers in this room. I just wonder if the cheese is ok to be left out.
@SpareOom Why would you leave the cheese out?
@Mahnax I mean it will be out, possibly in the sun.
Not left out of the stuffed mushroom.
23:01
Oh, I see.
I have no idea then.
@J.R. ... pheraps, but, onestly, I think it depends from how you are to perceive and interpret the angry monkey from a phenological point of view! So, I suggest you to search a key to interpret the image, whitout any preconcept founded on the distinction between expert and illiterate people! — Xavier Vidal Hernández 10 hours ago
Eh?
23:18
@ΜετάEd I'm sorry. I spent a while trying to figure out why I reacted that way.
23:33
@SpareOom What do you want to bet he says cheese or chocolate?
@Robusto Who will say cheese or chocolate? looks confused
@SpareOom Who were you asking for ideas about appetizers?
It started with DavidWallace, and then Mahnax.
Although I originally asked Cerberus, come to think of it.
@Robusto So @Cerberus is a fan of cheese and chocolate then?
