The situation in theoretical physics is not unlike the situation in contemporary philosophy. Epistemology is king, supporting a not-well-thought-through relationism that sits awkwardly atop what amounts to idealism. Mathematical formulae are held to be more real than physical substances, to subtend them. Why? Because Hilbert space is so beautiful and when you run quantum theory through it, you get all these symmetries, which attracts mathematicians

Mathematicians are like cats.

I'm feeling stupid today. Also, I feel like spoiling Fahrenheit 451 for Imipolex and everyone else who hasn't read it.

    From Facepalm Studios 
From Facepalm studios: Enders Game: The Game: This time, it really is a game.


From Facepalm studios, the studio that brought you Enders Game: The Game, Enders Game: The Game: The Movie: ''yippie-kay-yay, Mother Bugger!''.


From Facepalm studios, the studio that brought you Enders Game, the game and movie, another movie so bad you'll want to read the original book.: {{1984}} 2: ''Live Free or Die Hard''

In a World…, where everyone loves Big Brother, one man loses the love. That man... is Winston Smith.

WINSTON: You! Big Brother! I hate you!

Big Brother: I thought you loved me. I love everybody.

WINSTON: I loved you! You were my brother! but loved is past tense. When I figured out that you'd been cheating on me with everyone and seeing everything, I knew you had to die. -loads gun-

Big Brother: No! Do it to Julia! I'm a free person, don't kill me!

WINSTON: Only proles and animals are free. -shoots Big Brother-

Big Brother: You may kill me, but you'll never kill the the Party! -dies-

WINSTON: This Party's over.

-the thought police rush in-

O'Brien: Murderer! Your future will be one of eternal face-stomping by boots, you unperson! -puts on steel-toed boots-

WINSTON: In Socialist England, Face stomp Boots! -kills the thought police and O'Brien via literal face-stomping-


From Facepalm Studios, the studio that brought you Ender's Game, the movie and game, and 1984 2, comes another movie so bad you'll want to burn it and read the book: Fahrenheit 451 2: Read Free or Burn Harder.

NOTE: This one isn't as good, because I haven't actually read Farenhiet 451.

MONTAG: In American Anvilist Dystopia, Book burn You! -runs around burning everybody with a book/flamethrower-

Beatty: Oh, the horrible irony!


From facepalm studios, the studio that brought you a bunch of awful crud, comes Unpersons: This time, it's peronal!

WINSTON: Even though I defeated the Party, I'm still just an unperson who might as well not exist in society.

MONTAG: Even though I killed Beatty and a bunch of other people, I don't think I got anything done. In fact, I think Beatty wanted to die.

-they run into each other. The rest of the movie is a bromantic comedy.-


From Facepalm Studios, the studios that totally ruined classic books by turning them in to summer blockbusters, comes Talleyrand and Napoleon.

SCENE: Talleyrand is in bed, Napoleon is yelling at him.

NAPOLEON: Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Perigord, you wake up this instant and clean up the mess you made of France with your scheme!

TALLEYRAND: Which scheme? You can't possibly expect me to remember them all.

NAPOLEON: Don't play ignorant with me. You know what you did. Now get up and stop my regime from collapsing.

TALLEYRAND: Regimes may rise and fall, but I do not.

NAPOLEON: You piece of merde in a silk stocking!

TALLEYRAND: Quoting yourself out of context does not work that way! Good night!

NAPOLEON: mumblemumblemumble I guess I'll save my empire myself.

-Talleyrand's mistress, Lady XYZ, appears from under the blanket of Talleyrand's bed-

Lady XYZ: Who was that? Who would be rude enough to wake us up at this ungodly hour?

TALLEYRAND: Napoleon Bonaparte.

BOTH: What a pity that such a great man should have such poor manners.

Ray Bradbury, Orson Scott Card, and George Orwell: -facepalms-

When one holds down the sustaining pedal on a piano, the strings in the piano vibrate to any sound. If you play a saxophone or a horn next to it, they will retain the notes that you played. A similar effect happens if you play a saxophone or a horn next to a cymbal.

I'm surprised that an instrument hasn't been made that uses those facts.
