User talk:HAL 9000

Greetings, HAL 9000, and welcome to the International House of Rational! 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!   ħ uman  23:53, 17 October 2008 (EDT)
 * Aside from the 2001 reference, none of that was particularly coherent.  00:00, 18 October 2008 (EDT)
 * It is if you know what I am talking about....  ħ uman  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.  ħ uman  00:12, 18 October 2008 (EDT)
 * * Puffs feathers proudly* Why, thank you HAL.  We try our best.  : )   00:19, 18 October 2008 (EDT)
 * No, no, I meant everything else. It was terrible writing.   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  ħ uman  '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.  ħ uman  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 ;)  ħ uman  01:29, 19 October 2008 (EDT)
