Greetings, HAL 9000, and welcome to the International House of Rational! Star of David.png Radioactive Misanthrope 21:14, 17 October 2008 (EDT)

First Jupiter, then my evil organic lying masters!!! Welcome to the Dollhouse! Daisy, Daisy.... PS, I was watching a scratchy copy of 2001 at Boskone 11 (?) where Asimov was the guest nerdthrob and we had to leave. I was a terribly uncool even by geek standards nerd in those freshman days (had a crappy homemade Star Trek-esque badge I wore that wasn't even "accurate", so sad - worse yet, there is a family portrait that memorializes it). I'm sure you are way cooler :) IBM and out! ħumanUser talk:Human 23:53, 17 October 2008 (EDT)
Aside from the 2001 reference, none of that was particularly coherent. Star of David.png Radioactive Misanthrope 00:00, 18 October 2008 (EDT)
It is if you know what I am talking about.... ħumanUser talk:Human 00:07, 18 October 2008 (EDT)
Ironically, I found this website through Wikipedia's article on Conservapedia. I find its anti-intellectualism disgusting. I can't understand how a conservative brain works; it seems insane to me. 2001 happens to be one of my favorite movies, and I have just finished the book by Arthur Clarke(he says HAL stands for Heuristically programmed ALgorithmic computer, although it could be a backronym). Issac Asimov is also one of my favorite authors. I found this wiki very interesting. It is excellent in countering the ridiculous claims of Conservapedia and Intelligent Design.HAL 9000 00:11, 18 October 2008 (EDT)
The IBM joke... google it or shall I explicate? Hehe. And seeing the old man in person was like shaking a president's hand... Glad you found us. ħumanUser talk:Human 00:12, 18 October 2008 (EDT)
*Puffs feathers proudly* Why, thank you HAL. We try our best.  : ) Star of David.png Radioactive Misanthrope 00:19, 18 October 2008 (EDT)
No, no, I meant everything else. It was terrible writing. Star of David.png Radioactive Misanthrope 00:19, 18 October 2008 (EDT)
I'm aware of the IBM-HAL joke. In fact, I was formerly a believer of it. Wow, I wish I could have met Asimov. It's really unfortunate he died at age 72. I can't meet Arthur Clarke either—he died this May. It's too bad you think ħuman 's writing is deficient... it can only be attributable to human error.:) HAL 9000 00:27, 18 October 2008 (EDT)
I object to RA's whining about my writing, it was perfectly clear. ħumanUser talk:Human 00:56, 18 October 2008 (EDT)
It was clear enough. I added a parthenogenesis section to the Jesus Christ article. I hope that helps. HAL 9000 21:06, 18 October 2008 (EDT)
Yah, I saw that. It clears up a lot of questions I had ;) ħumanUser talk:Human 01:29, 19 October 2008 (EDT)
