This would be the ideal thread in which to propound my
Kansas Theory of modern physics.

The Kansas Theory refutes current views by conclusively
proving there are only two dimensions, not three (or more).

One dimension begins in Kansas, the other ends there; hence

and does it waddle around blurting "AFLACK"?



A duck in a truck
might oft go amuck
while a goose in a car
is odd from afar.

The hamster in wheel
is not likely to steal
but the gerbil alone
is larceny prone.

Squirrels are hoarders
ill advised as boarders
steal you quite blind
naught a thought in their mind.

Yet mice can be nice
they always think twice
take just what they must
and engender your trust.

But...

Forget not the slither
who soon shall come hither.
And rid thee of these
its' intent not to please

For the snake in the grass
would as soon let you pass
but the snake in the larder
will make you work harder.

To banish the cause
(please obey local laws)
remove all the vermin.
(Enough of this sermon)

If you wish to kill time
I can fill it with rhyme.
It may not make sense
but of what consequence?

Since you asked, I was on the way to work, passing a prairie dog town, when I saw a dead one in the traffic lane and a live one on the shoulder, concerned. I stopped and set my bike down, intending to push the dead one off the road. It wasn't smashed, but it was mangy and plenty dead. When my shoe made contact, it ran away and down a hole. Some of the best acting I've seen from any species; it will be a big star if it moves to safer stages.

Unfortunately it doesn't happen... :( The surface of the eye is simply not reflexive enough... you can see an eye within an eye within an eye, but beyond that you'd need special instruments that can only be constructed when the Ultra-Special Kansas Theory Advanced is proved and a hole that falls into itself is created with no more than 3.1 dimensions.

First, the Ultra-Special Kansas Theory/Advanced is only available at

Second, though fractional dimensions are allowed by the USKT/A, they
must be divisible by an irrational number multiplied by the coefficient of
expansion of flattened hydrogen.

Huh... I must have understood it all wrong... so much for those stupid CD lecture courses!

But... don't the refractional durations contained in spectral reticulators of 3.1 dimensional bendings allow for a slight fracture in the normal heliocentric warp when considering a hole that falls into itself? Or is this simply a dynamic recursive illusion based on the properties of irrational numbers and extrapolations of the common justifications as previously conjectured by me at age 8?

I would like "nothing" more than to get back on topic...

In the Kansas Theory, if 2=2 what does 1?

[etLux]

I would like "nothing" more than to get back on topic...

In the Kansas Theory, if 2=2 what does 1?

1 is a subset of 2; thus is incorporated therein and subsumed
into the 2-ness of 2, and therefore has no unique identity of
its own. However 1 can be expressed as:

2/2 = 2/2

You will agree that this makes a far more intuitive mathermatics
possible, and corrects the failings of non-Kansas Theory equations.

In traditional math,

1 + 1 = ?

would yield a ridiculous sum of... 2 -- when it's quite
obvious that the correct answer is... 11.

In the Kansas Theory, however, by seeing 2 as a subset of 2,
we no longer need such awkward and counter-intuitive structures.

Instead, Kansas Theory creates a new constant, WC, for cases
of this kind. Thus, all of the following are correct.

The constant WC, of course, stands for "Who cares?".*. hmmmm... I always thought WC stood for the rarest element in nature: "working composer".

[SeanHannifin]

1 is a subset of 2; thus is incorporated therein and subsumed
into the 2-ness of 2, and therefore has no unique identity of
its own. However 1 can be expressed as:

2/2 = 2/2

You will agree that this makes a far more intuitive mathermatics
possible, and corrects the failings of non-Kansas Theory equations.

In traditional math,

1 + 1 = ?

would yield a ridiculous sum of... 2 -- when it's quite
obvious that the correct answer is... 11.

In the Kansas Theory, however, by seeing 2 as a subset of 2,
we no longer need such awkward and counter-intuitive structures.

Instead, Kansas Theory creates a new constant, WC, for cases
of this kind. Thus, all of the following are correct.

1 + 1 = WC
((2+74)/(8-54.3)) = WC
73 x 9 + 66 / how many miles to Buffalo = WC
If two trains are going in opposite directions = WC

Nevertheless, that is a brilliant assessment of "what does 1?" and it has many far reaching implications that nobody cares about in many uncared for fields of mathematics, physics, and the very important of the study of the statistics of the number line.

I am diligently working on a reconciliation of the American and

The main problem arises over the use of flattened hydrogen as
a mathematical constant in the American version; whereas the
Brits insist on using tubular oxygen as the basis for theirs.

Apparently it is tubular oxygen that gives British beer its body

up, claiming the lighter American (flattened hydrogen) beer

Edward George Bulwer-Lytton was the author of that immortal line, "It was a dark and stormy night..." His work has become the standard for hackneyed prose, and inspired the annual contest of "worst opening lines for a story" posted on that website.

Need more inspiration? Here's the actual opening line from B-L's novel "Paul Clifford", published in 1830:

"It was a dark and stormy night; the rain fell in torrents--except at occasional intervals, when it was checked by a violent gust of wind which swept up the streets (for it is in London that our scene lies), rattling along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the scanty flame of the lamps that struggled against the darkness."

While the Kansas Theory has no need for non-Euclidean geometries,
it does include a strict and well defined non-Ukelelean geometry. That
is, anyone found playing a ukelele is simply... shot on sight.

Simultaneity is covered under the "Do Two Things At Once And One

Should compare the theory's model to one that is established or stationary. We can see that it is either growing or diminishing, this does not check the validuity of the theory, it just shows us that it is in motion. It's like the cat in the hat, everyone notices the crazy looking hat, but stand him beside a regular cat and then many other peculiarities become readily apparent. That is unless someone comes along and posts a pic of an even weirder looking cat, then i guess we're back to square one.

[Infinite5ths]

I found that if you square 1 then you are right back where you started anyway: 1. However, considering the subject at hand, that is probably readily apparent to anyone.

I commend the individual/group responsible for non-Ukelele geometry. The Ukelele abberation is responsible for more counter-string quasi-cognitive irrelevancies than any other single male. The idea that anyone would pick this flaw as a subject for further exploration is a blatant threat to fundamental harmonic continuity. Such variation deserves no sympathetic resonance in any responsible intellectual circle.

Banjo theory on the other hand has at least one noteworthy quality: It provides a reasonable explaination of and resolution to the 'weird looking cat' disturbance phenomena. Granted, it must not be applied out of context to avoid alarming sub-QCD imbalances. But applied as intended, I suspect that it provides a watertight corollary as a reverse-Ukelele principle.

I am presently working on a thesis that will explain nearly every flaw in current physics studies as derivative inadequacies of the viola.

... intellectual circle.



The Garritan forum is renowned worldwide for its excellence in running around
in intellectual circles. Gary's understandably very proud.




Banjo theory on the other hand has at least one noteworthy quality: It provides a reasonable explaination of and resolution to the 'weird looking cat' disturbance phenomena. Granted, it must not be applied out of context to avoid alarming sub-QCD imbalances. But applied as intended, I suspect that it provides a watertight corollary as a reverse-Ukelele principle.



Banjo Theory, which is indeed directly responsible for the "Weird-Looking Cat"
phenomena we've been witnessing, is a two-dimensional derivative of the
famed Heisenberg Uncouth Beast Principle... which posits that a dead cat
in a sealed box still smells bad, whether or not you open the box.

As you mention above, the implications of this for imbalancing Quantum
Chromodynamics (QCD) are profound... and disturbing. At one time it was
thought that cats, like everything else, were held together by "gluons" --
the well known sub-atomic particles manufactured by Elmer's (http://www.elmers.com/product/product_page.asp?pCode=E371) and distributed
in this familiar bottle:

http://pics.drugstore.com/prodimg/144041/200.jpg

However, as you brilliantly suggested, Etch-A-Sketch analyses (after Sean
Hannifan, et al., ibid., ad nausem, and all that) under a reverse interpretation
of non-Ukelele geometry suggest differently.

Unlike the groundbreaking "Toto Experiment" mentioned earlier, wherein the
validity of Kansas Theory was proven by placing a small animal in the path of
an oncoming tanker truck full of corn oil; dead cats in a box do not exhibit
appropriate degrees of two-dimensionality, regardless of applied pressure.

Further, Korean recipe experiments vindicate this finding. The inference is
that the flattened hydrogen content of felines is isotopic, and therefore
suitable for use only with mixed vegetables, water chestnuts, and boiled rice.

Research continues in this fascinating area. Those like myself who are
inordinately fond of Asian cuisine are daily contributing revolutionary
discoveries in this fertile, new avenue of investigation; and all are urged
to post their findings here, to the Official Garritan Forum On Kansas Theory.

Sean's the best optometrist! He took those three mice an enhanced their 20/20 vision!

Do you mean "optometrist" or "optimist"? :D

I can tell you with complete and genuine certainty and
an unremitting commitment to the loftiest elevations of
verity that what I said was indisputably and clearly un-
equivocal in its relationship to the underlying conceptual-
ization and ideation of a philosphically consistent if
transmutable representation of what I meant.

I am just in awe that someone could use big words and a complex sentence structure to say something actually meaningful! :D

Allow me to explain. What I said previously and then
commented on subsequently cannot be taken out of
context beforehand without diffusion and concomitant
dilution of the intrinsic meaning that was implied by it
after the fact.

Forgetting concomitant dilution beforehand is obviously one of my weaknesses in certain discussions... do forgive me. :o

So you say, now. But! Is this still another
clever Sean Hannifan feat of verbal
prestidigitation, wherein the true and
deeper meaning is veiled in a subterfuge
of ingeniously constructed phraseology
designed to subtly and insidiously incul-
cate us into the ritualistic behaviors of
a covert mystical conspiracy?

Hmmm...

Well, it's not really a covert mystical conspiracy... it's an overt obvious faithfulness! :) Are you inculcated yet?

[Garritan]

Yes, you can. But I noticed you capitalized YES. You can't capitalize on your capital letters, not unless you're on the capitol steps or that would make you a capitalist.

[etLux]

Yes, you can. But I noticed you capitalized YES.
You can't capitalize on your capital letters, not unless
you're on the capitol steps or that would make you a capitalist.

I freely confess that my inordinate enthusiasm and disgraceful
lack of restraint evidenced by the expression of my inexculpable
bellicosity were uncontrollably influencing the implied indications
of my propensities concerning certain politically-oriented ramifications
inherent in the distasteful (yet, I believe, appropriate) capitalization
of the word YES.

In my own defense, however, I hasten to add that manifestations
of deeply rooted psychological trauma at the hands of heartless,
capitalistic Capitol dwellers were indirectly yet irrefutably at the
center of this malfeasance, regardless of my continued rigorous
practice of the Harvard Yodel Treatment -- which, I must note,
was in no way at fault, as this hapless relapse on my part is most
certainly a reflection of my own rather unfortunate Jungian dissociative
states in regard to uppercase letters.

I apologize to the forum.

It was the nuns, Mike. I went to Catholic parochial school,
and they made us learn all this useless stuff. Gerunds, past
pluperfect tense, words nobody on the planet would ever
conceivably use -- they were implacable! To this day, I

Our nomenistic and ethnic preconceptions are challenged at the start when we read the artist’s name, for he is EtLux; David Sosnowski; not one, not the other, but an integrative whole, one male, descended from one of the once-oppressed peoples of Eastern Europe, the other grammatically female (lux, lucis, f.), according to the rigid linguistic rules of the Romans, once the world’s lone superpower, now vanished, their monumental sculptures and art now in possession of the communities once held in subjection, their once-hegemonic language now without an interpretive community. Gender constructs and the concept of a fixed personal identity become untenable in this light, while past cycles of colonialism and its relation to a diasporic community in a postcolonial setting are shown in sharp relief.
Building upon Makihilian theoretical discourse, this work, once thought to be Gutai-influenced essentialism, is in fact a parody of formalism, and simultaneously, by cleverly appropriating the image and mythos of the Sturndendrung, subverting the American political movement seeking to shackle cultural expression, making explicit the real aim of the neoantiLaconians, which is cultural genocide.

I've gotta go. I'd appreciate it if someone could add to my analysis of David's masterpiece. Sean?

OK, normally I look up (in a dictionary) every word I don't know in everything I read. After this thread, I may have to officially change that policy, so as not to spend the rest of my life memorizing Webster's Unabridged... :D

Sad, isn't it? Watching the inevitable decline of
a once formidable word-slinger. But see, all those
polysyllabic boogers, they're highly acidic, and they
rot your neurons.

Thus, the result of a lifetime of sesquipedalian self-
abuse is what you now see before you... a mere
bumbling shadow of my former self.

In the Middle Ages, it was common practice for educated men (yes, just the men, unfortunately) to memorize several hundred (or a few thousand) books, to the point that they could quote from the book by page ("chapter and verse", as it were). This, in fact, is why illuminated manuscripts were illuminated: as a memory aid. While dictionaries are a more recent invention, you can perhaps imagine committing Praetorius to memory, along with all of your college textbooks, the Bible, and the GPO manual ;)

Now, where did I put my keys... :rolleyes:

Didn't the ancient Romans have sewers (and fountains, and other plumbing)? Medieval scholars were probably aware of Roman plumbing, but had no infrastructure to attach it to.

My recollection is that the privies in medieval castles were situated at the outer wall - basically, they, um, excreted into the moat from a great height. The peasants were more likely to have outhouses or latrines, and they truly were too busy to invent stuff. :(
