The Medusa Fora

I always think Halloween deserves it's own thread, but i guess i'm in the minority.

On my daughter's suggestion, i'm going to wear a suit and take a chair when i take the young ones out trick or treating. I can talk to the chair while the kids go up to the houses.

Yup, i'm gonna be Clint Eastwood for Halloween!

I absolutely detest snow!!!

Well, it's not for everyone. Do you even get enough snow to like and enjoy it? For me, anything under 20cm just messes everything up. The roads are filthy, my dog is dirty, people seem to forget how to drive, etc. But otherwise I love it as much as I love the sun

I would take -9 degrees and snow over +9 and rain (which is typical Vancouver winter weather) any day. I miss the snow, and how bright it is on snowy days.

What part of 'I detest snow' do you not understand??? Why the fuck would I want more of it???

Any particular reason for the proposal?

Just fancied a bit of marriage and a bit of being nice and proposing marriage is the biggest way of being nice.

Along those lines anyway

Just thinking out loud.. two things that need to be updated... The Bible and my wardrobe.. thats all

I don't know if anyone on here is in the video game crowd, but if you haven't checked out Assassin's Creed III yet, you're missing out big time.

I've mislaid my walkig stick! tomorrow I must retrace my drunken steps..from last night..and see if it's in a pub..i'll be sad if it's lost..tis quite a fancy stick.

Sounds like a good night!

A Sexual Encounter between a Capacitor and an Inductor.

One evening, with his charge at full capacity, Micro Farad decided to get a cute coil to discharge him. He went to the Magnet Bar to pick up a chip called Millie Amp. He caught her out back trying self induction; fortunately, she had not damaged her solenoid. The two took off on his megacycle and rode across the Wheatstone Bridge into a magnetic field, next to a flowing current , to watch the sine waves.

Micro Farad was very much stimulated by Millie’s characteristic curve. Being attractive himself, he soon had her field fully excited. He set her on the ground potential, raised his frequency, lowered her resistance, and pulled out his high voltage probe. When he inserted it in parallel, he short-circuited her shunt. Fully excited, Millie cried out, “ohm, ohm, give me mho”. As he increased his tube to maximum output, her coil vibrated from the current flow. It did not take long for her shunt to reach maximum heat. Now with the excessive current shortening her shunt, Micro’s capacity rapidly discharged – every electron was drained off. But that was not the end of it. Indeed, they fluxed all night, tried various connections and hookings until his bar magnet weakened, and he could no longer generate enough voltage to sustain his collapsing field. With his battery fully discharged, Micro was unable to excite his tickler, so they went home. A few weeks later, they were merged forever and oscillated happily ever after.

Too late for this year, sadly.
