Let’s play a fun game! The object of this game is to translate a joke, famous quote or anything recognizable and simple into the bizarre and confusing language known as “Nanobytese” Here’s my entry:
If it would please the various participants of this board, I would like to inquire as to the apparent motivations of a certain domesticated avian known in the agricultural vernacular as a “chicken” and its rather anthropomorphic attempt to traverse a paved strech of road normally reserved for motor traffic and the like.
My conclusion, based mostly on comedic instinct, is that this rather plucky little feathered flightless creature took a perpendicular path to the aforementioned automobile by-way with the overly simplistic (and IMHO quite pointless) intent to reach a physical location directly opposite of the road he or she (to be politiclly correct) traversed.
Anyone else?
Marge: Your father is… resting. Bart: “Resting” hung over? “Resting” got fired? Help me out here.
I’m sure Nanobyte will give Alphagene a rigourous thrashing as soon as he is done composing his latest thread entitled “Police Car Chases and their Innocent Victims: Part XVII (Line width corrected, moved to the correct forum, links working now)”
Shouldn’t this be in MPSIMS? Ah hell, fellow pedants, let us begin.
Let it be known that it has been queried by various parties as to the instrinsic variables, if any, twixt two similar yet disparate ladings of identical conveyances.
Said conveyances, being selfsame in nature, have been freighted with mutually specific cargo.
One of the afforementioned contraptions contains a multitude of spherical graphite and rubber objects commonly employed in the engagement of a sporting activity known in common parlance as “bowling”.
The other being loaded in like manner and capacity but with different cargo entirely. The load in this contrivance consisting of deceased avian creatures of the species/phylum Gallus gallus.
Upon further research, it becomes abundantly evident that the sole existing difference other than those afforementioned concerning lading, is that it is not possible to disencumber the former by making use of a pitchfork!
Ha!
how did it start? well i don’t know i just feel the craving. i see the flesh and it smells fresh and it’s just there for the taking…

Create an echoing sound by rapping one’s knuckles once upon a hollow rectangular prism whose dimensions approximate 1.2 meters by 2.4 meters by 0.03 meters. Repeat.
Might I inquire as to the identity of the person so rapping their knuckles upon my rectangular prism?"
I am called by the word that describes the frantic attempt of a bird embryo encased in a albumin-filled ovoid with a brittle calcium-based shell to escape from said shell by causing multiple fractures to occur in the shell until such time as it might extend it’s entire head through the disruption in the shell.
And which person of the group that is called by the above-described word might you be?

Experience is what you get when you didn’t get what you wanted.
In an approximation, would it be possible for anyone to asscertain how many females of the Species Homo Sapien Sapien would be sufficient to securely insert an ellectrically generated source of illumination into a common household fixture, which was purpose built for afformentioned illumination device?
the Answer is quite simple, though not as simple as it will be long. First of all, we have to take into account several factors, surrounding the females motivation into which she feels there is a necessity for said Lighting to be replaced…
I could go on, but you get the idea

Alphagene, it was a worthy attempt at Nanobytese, but you neglected to include the mandatory demeaning of lawyers. I’d have to give it a B minus on that basis.
It seems to me (from both a mentalistic and hardware viewpoint) that behind this objective/subjective bifurcation lies the pragmatics of a complex organism’s (surely, though, not limited to just a human’s) being able to thrust against entropy, in the same lifetime and universe, by use of both a bottom-up synthesis of concepts like sticks and stones and an empathetic, social analysis of complex behavioral concepts too complex to deal with in the bottom-up manner."
*Just as salient a point as when it was first made back in June of 1999*.
Have you thrust against your entropy lately?
Consider, if you will, the following situation. A vehicle of aquatic conveyance is traveling some distance out in the littoral region. And on this conveyance were in excess of five score members of the legocratic profession, who think that they are so muchsmarter than pro pers like myself, but actually are not nearly so smart and besides they all have been corrupted into only telling sneaky misleading lies. And this conveyance develops a puncture and rapidly begins to descend into the depths, causing all of these criminals who are licensed by the state to spread untruths to submerge without the possibility of rescue. In what manner would one denominate the situation?
One could consider it to a propitious commencement (particularly if while decending they intersected another vessel crewed exclusively by those in that field that has monopolistically stolen the right to make medical diagnoses from much smarter lay people, causing that second vessel to submerge simultaneously).
Whether they be Roman-Greek-Cyrillic, Hebrew, Arabic, Chinese-Japanese, various South Asian, or whatever, the individual characters of the world’s writing systems, be they alphabetic, syllabic or ideographic, tend to have aspect ratios, on average, of between 2:3 and 5:6 and a portrait orientation. Pourquoi?
I don’t see data that expressly notes any anisotropism in the layout of the photoreceptors of human eyes, although there is an implication of a triangular packing of them here, which, depending on its orientation, might induce a difference in spacing of photoreceptors horizontally versus vertically.
Or could this aspect-ratio bias have to do with the direction one scans such characters (but consider the conventional Chinese direction of scan)? Does a difference by direction of saccade capability get involved in this question? And thinking of a bias in favor of horizontal saccades, since humans figured out what kind of eyes to have long before they got literary, would such a bias relate to the most common movement of other animals (both up and down the food chain), as being most often in a horizontal direction? Would such a bias make the effective resolution of human eyes higher in the horizontal direction, despite an isotropic spacing of photoreceptors in them?
Or is this orientation and aspect-ratio bias a result of how images are mapped onto the particular part of the brain most optimized for visual pattern recognition, that part which recognizes human faces. . .which are oval to some similar aspect ratio and orientation (in their usual tête-à-tête confrontational situation)?

Have any of the regular voyeurs of this electronic medium ever encountered, or at least heard of, seen, or experienced, circumstances by where spheroids of common hydrogen hydroxide in a liquid state strike the uppermost parts of their bodies while standing out of doors on days where hydrogen hydroxide in a gaseous state obscure the orb of fusion powered gas that sits at the center of our solar system? I encountered this phenomenon today when the article of clothing I had upon my head, sometimes known as a “hat”, was caused to be removed from my head by the force of moving air molecules, at which time I felt the sensation of a cold wet liquid on my scalp. Is anyone here familiar with this utterly strange phenomenon?
