A Minor Explanation

[majutsukai]

Okay, perhaps I should explain my last entry. If you read Taylor's lj you got part of the story already, but I think I understood it a little better, so let me show you how it all happened. In IM log form. I'm Kuro Majutsukai, Joey is Burning Man, Taylor is NileGal, and Michael is Hinoryu.


Burning Man: As for religion and science, I'm placing a restraining order, Religion must stay 500 feet from Science at all times. says:
      I think 'baby' should be a unit of volume.
NileGal says:
      o_O
Kuro Majutsukai - Dragons: Color-coded for YOUR convenience! says:
      ................

Burning Man: As for religion and science, I'm placing a restraining order, Religion must stay 500 feet from Science at all times. says:
      For instance: "This microwave is EASILY a three-baby unit."
NileGal says:
      XDDD
Hinoryu says:
      I think all car radios and cd players and such should have a maximum volume where       
      you still can't hear it outside the car... That way, you aren't subjected to horrible
      horrible music from every asshole driving down the street.
NileGal says:
      would that be like the whole woodchuck would he chuck wood?
Kuro Majutsukai - Dragons: Color-coded for YOUR convenience! says:
      That's what we have distance cubed for.
NileGal says:
      AGREED MICHAEL. WOOT.
NileGal says:
      We should tax ppls w/ loud music :3.
Hinoryu says:
      XD

NileGal says:
      i like tacos.

Burning Man: As for religion and science, I'm placing a restraining order, Religion must stay 500 feet from Science at all times. says:
      Like: "This trunk is surely at LEAST a Ten-baby. We have a six-baby if this one is       
      too expensive."
NileGal says:
      that sounds kinda icky :3.
Kuro Majutsukai - Dragons: Color-coded for YOUR convenience! says:
      So, an average-sized baby would be measured as one Baby?
Burning Man: As for religion and science, I'm placing a restraining order, Religion must stay 500 feet from Science at all times. says:
      Yes.
NileGal says:
      oh god it is confusing.
Kuro Majutsukai - Dragons: Color-coded for YOUR convenience! says:
      That's......................yeah.

Kuro Majutsukai - Dragons: Color-coded for YOUR convenience! says:
      We should come up with a ton more made up units of measurement.
Kuro Majutsukai - Dragons: Color-coded for YOUR convenience! says:
      Like a measurement for how good food tastes.
Kuro Majutsukai - Dragons: Color-coded for YOUR convenience! says:
      It would be called...
Kuro Majutsukai - Dragons: Color-coded for YOUR convenience! says:
      a calorie.
Burning Man: As for religion and science, I'm placing a restraining order, Religion must stay 500 feet from Science at all times. says:
      We need one for general mass.
Hinoryu says:
      ...XDD
Burning Man: As for religion and science, I'm placing a restraining order, Religion must stay 500 feet from Science at all times. says:
      Calories already exist though.
NileGal says:
      XDDD
Kuro Majutsukai - Dragons: Color-coded for YOUR convenience! says:
      A good unit for mass would be a Bessie.
Hinoryu says:
      XD
Kuro Majutsukai - Dragons: Color-coded for YOUR convenience! says:
      The weight of one cow named Bessie.
Burning Man: As for religion and science, I'm placing a restraining order, Religion must stay 500 feet from Science at all times. says:
      Which cow?
NileGal says:
      USHI

Kuro Majutsukai - Dragons: Color-coded for YOUR convenience! says:
      A cow named Bessie.
Burning Man: As for religion and science, I'm placing a restraining order, Religion must stay 500 feet from Science at all times. says:
      There are surely several cows named Bessie.
Kuro Majutsukai - Dragons: Color-coded for YOUR convenience! says:
      ANY cow named Bessie.

Burning Man: As for religion and science, I'm placing a restraining order, Religion must stay 500 feet from Science at all times. says:
      Is that to say that there would be many different measurements for mass based on the
      Bessie?
Kuro Majutsukai - Dragons: Color-coded for YOUR convenience! says:
      Or perhaps it would be better to say that it's equal to the mass of "that one cow       
      named bessie" and not go into any further detail.

Kuro Majutsukai - Dragons: Color-coded for YOUR convenience! says:
      Wait. If volume is Babies, and Mass is Bessies, then what is Density (Bessie/Baby)?
NileGal says:
      um...
NileGal says:
      Bacon?
NileGal says:
      wait no thats pig..
NileGal says:
      .....
NileGal says:
      CALF~
Hinoryu says:
      Bessie's Babies?
Kuro Majutsukai - Dragons: Color-coded for YOUR convenience! says:
      Calf= Bessie/Baby.
Burning Man: As for religion and science, I'm placing a restraining order, Religion must stay 500 feet from Science at all times. says:
      Calves.
NileGal says:
      Calf is a baby cow so who is to say that the calf isnt the baby of a bessie? O_O;
NileGal says:
      Ty joey
Kuro Majutsukai - Dragons: Color-coded for YOUR convenience! says:
      That works.
NileGal says:
      Wait.
NileGal says:
      So a baby is one volume. A Bessie is a mass. and A Calve of Bessie is a dense?
Kuro Majutsukai - Dragons: Color-coded for YOUR convenience! says:
      Yeah.
NileGal says:
      Right. Whoever is taking physics next year needs to use that.
Kuro Majutsukai - Dragons: Color-coded for YOUR convenience! says:
      Bessies per baby.

NileGal says:
      my brain hurts.
NileGal says:
      ...why does this sound like some kinda fucked up physics found only in my little       
      world.....
Hinoryu says:
      XD

Kuro Majutsukai - Dragons: Color-coded for YOUR convenience! says:
      God, I love you people.
NileGal says:
      I love u too man
Burning Man: As for religion and science, I'm placing a restraining order, Religion must stay 500 feet from Science at all times. says:
      *Hugs Matt*
Hinoryu says:
      ...
NileGal says:
      Seriously. If someone is taking physics this year i want them to MAKE THAT       
      ARGUEMENT.
Hinoryu says:
      *Blinks* Wait...
Hinoryu says:
      Matt loves us... He is officially unfit to be a Black Mage! !!
Kuro Majutsukai - Dragons: Color-coded for YOUR convenience! says:
      Only we could come up with stuff like this. No other rational mind would be capable
      without collapsing.
Hinoryu says:
      Of course. XD
Kuro Majutsukai - Dragons: Color-coded for YOUR convenience! says:
      I think I'm taking physics.

NileGal says:
      God matt i will PAY YOU if i have too XD

Kuro Majutsukai - Dragons: Color-coded for YOUR convenience! says:
      Me: Yeah, I'm proposing that we replace the standard units of measurement for mass,       
      volume, and density with my new system.
      Mr. Kelly: Oh, this should be entertaining.
      Me: We should use the unit Baby, the average volume of one(baby) for volume, Bessie,
      the weight of that one cow named Bessie, for mass, and a Calf to represent one       
      bessie per baby.
      Kelly:.................................

Kuro Majutsukai - Dragons: Color-coded for YOUR convenience! says:
      Kelly: Are you sure you're qualified for this class? Or the twelfth grade for that       
      matter?
NileGal says:
      omg matt i luv u XD
Hinoryu says:
      XD
Hinoryu says:
      Matt?
Hinoryu says:
      It kills me to say this, but you rock. XD
NileGal says:
      *lmfaoing so hard shes starting to cry*
Burning Man: As for religion and science, I'm placing a restraining order, Religion must stay 500 feet from Science at all times. says:
      *Choked on his Cherry Coke. Will brb.*

Kuro Majutsukai - Dragons: Color-coded for YOUR convenience! says:
      Hinoryu says:
      Matt?
      Hinoryu says:
      It kills me to say this, but you rock. XD
Kuro Majutsukai - Dragons: Color-coded for YOUR convenience! says:
      I'm FRAMING that.
Hinoryu says:
      ....Dammit.
NileGal says:
      XDDDDDDDD
NileGal says:
      laughing. so. hard. XD


I don't think that a "calf of bessie" was the right thing to say. Bessies divided by Babies equal Calves. I think I confused Taylor accidentally by doing that. ^_^;;

Also, at the time of saying that, I actually had no intention of framing it. But, once the conversation ended, I figured, what the hell? So there it is.

Well, if you're willing to go to the trouble to find the weight of a cow named Bessie and the average volume of a Baby (Please don't use a water displacement test >_O), then you have my permission. (It would actually be pretty amusing if you did that :P)

Now that I think of it, something would have to be pretty dense to have a density of one Calf. Assuming Bessie is a full-grown cow, that is. O.o

Scientific notation will account for all of the smaller numbers.
And remember, everything is a basis of something else in life, so nothing is truly unthinkable.

As for the cow named Bessie, let us make it the first genetically-engineered specimen with the ability that the amount if food eaten is directly proportional to the amount wasted plus the amount of weight it gains with a small percentage error.
The only reason for this is because the numbers would be easier to take to court if a lady decides to argue that she is not truly as heavy as the numbers claim to show.
(Because, for reasons unknown, ladies have a sense of denial about age and mass... >>)
