When do you ever need to talk about ?√2i + ?√2 dogs?
Excuse me Mr. Fancy European, but over here in the US of A we use the Imperial unit of dogs for the impedance of a circuit.

Are #isharia quotes allowed? I've been saving a few:

<Hokulani> Does anyone think that Sabín makes a good name?
<Brel> yes
<Nuntar> no

<Hokulani> goodness, I never realized how extensive the Digimon Wiki was...
<Nae> Never underestimate the power of the Force.
<Nae> where the Force represents the power of nerditry
<Nae> and obsessive compulsiveness.

<Nuntar> MMMMMMMMMM
<Dudicon> Nuntar just ate something very tasty?
<Nuntar> no, that was 10000 in Roman numerals

<Pyurio> I think Doing sexual intercourse with plant would be rather ... itchy.

<Cctoide> A bunch of cartographers should get together and make absurd(ly little) amounts of money by making conmaps for people

<Kasadkad> I would support Eddy's entire plan of destroying Japan just based on the game shows

<vlad> Hey, Nae.
<Nae> Yes, my child?

<Hokulani> Its officially summer. The Golden Trees are starting to bloom
<Kasadkad> Where are you, Valinor?

<Hokulani> gah! How the hell am I supposed to reduce 21 to 3 ?!
<Kasadkad> Divide by 7

<Nuntar> Kasadkad backwards is Dakdasak, which sounds like an onomatopoeia for a machine gun

<vohpenonomae> "peel stud"...sounds like a description of the circumcision of a gorgeous man

<Kuzdamoh> fey is an archaic English word for "doomed to die"
<Feijuada> Scots aint Inglish fuckah
<tatapyranga> [feI] = ugly

<Kuzdamoh> the homos stole their flags from the Quechua?

<Radius> Newton did a good enough job for 99.99999% of all human needs for as long as our race will ever exist

<Nae> haha, Stalin vs Hitler, that old chestnut... I remember first seeing this on Elfwood.

<Brel> Shurtugal?
<Nae> where they speak Shurtuguese.
<Hokulani> dont ask ...
<Brel> ...

<Nae> every sperm is sacred, every sperm is gooood, every sperm is needed in your neighbourhoood, every sperm is sacred, every sperm is great, if a sperm is wasted, God. Gets. Quite. Iraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate!

<Nae> Card is a mormon.
<Brel> hmm
<Brel> yeah
<Nae> and a card.

<Hokulani> WAIT A MOMENT< MY CAPSLOCK IS STUCK

<Nuntar> you don't expect a chap over 200 years old to be such a good dancer

More to come when I find out where I saved them.

Did you just compare the mass extermination of Jews with the Spice Girls?

I like the Spice Girls. I bought their CD like 10 years ago and I still have five of the songs, plus one that I downloaded much later on.
