find a case in which the question "are you an idiot?" led to a useful answer.

and then, one day, my curiosity was victorious and i followed the trolley with all those video tapes. before the door fell into its lock, i catched it and sneaked a peek inside that mysterious room. at first glance, it looked like a server room; a data warehouse, render farm, something like that. but then i discovered those boxes were video recorders, all the same model, racks and racks of them, hundreds of them, all copying the latest porn flick. maybe i can get a few of them when they switch to dvd.

if you're bored with quines, go make an electronic concept record which somehow contains its whole source code embedded in its sound waves.

meanwhile, i want to listen to perlin noise. perlin as in that perlin guy who did procedural textures for TRON and stuff. hypertxture. furrier synthesis. rocks!

todd the tantalizing turn table twister's ill skratchin skillz became, through years and years of hard training, so insanely mad that he needs nothing more than a standard SL-1200 deck, a mixer and an old funk record to produce sounds which are equally diversified and varied, intricate and sophisticated as those of a triangle beaten by a deaf infant.

i make music that is so radical, so dissonant, that it can't be cut into vinyl because it trashes the mastering needle. but there are no bit patterns that can't be put on a cd.

lowercase music is composed of itty-bitty quiet sounds. one recent album is so quiet that it is yet unknown wheter it actually contains any sound at all.

i tried to punish the rhetoric teacher, who just uttered an erroneous sentence, by overloading his broca's area:

"If you don't have something to say, don't say it."

"Don't say what?"

"What?"

"Your statement,
'If you don't have something to say, don't say it.',
is equivalent to
'If you have nothing to say, don't say it.',
right?"

"Err..."

"So, your advice actually is
'Don't say nothing.', ..."

"Nah, you don't understand, actually, I..."

"... which is equivalent to
'Say anything.'
But I have to disagree. I don't think it would be a good idea to say anything due to the lack of an idea what to say."

"But that's exactly my point."

"It is? So why didn't you say so in the first place?"
