I HATE TOM WAITS HE SUCKS IS THAT NEGATIVE OR POSITIVE ?

max - what's up? everything ok at home?? you're coming wiht this "not trying to be a dick but this is the worst thing ever" b.s. on like 3 separate threads this week!! plz get back to the k.i.p. max i know + love

i feel u bro, i got a little head cold, but thirdalternative is my least favorite poster, ever, and i felt honor bound to let him know

max has been really positive this week, he taught me how to twitter

And thirdalternative really is a new low.

i dont know thirdalternative from who-the-fuck-ever but yeah ok he was def being kind of douchey with all that "humanity needs to destroy superstition to evolve" ish but not worse than 90% of that thread (myself included) - i mean, arguing the other side was dudes like this:

Given their relatively small numbers, I'm tempted to say it's the atheists that seem disproportionately inclined to ban things: Christmas displays, prayer in schools, etc. Aggrieved liberals do a lot of it too, for seemingly non-religious reasons (to "protect the children", to stop racism & sexism, that kind of thing).

I didn't jump in on that thread as I was out playing Scrabblepartying with hot chicks last night, and by the time I got back it was 400 posts later. BUT: there is a very unfortunate history of anti-semitism amongst the British "intellectual left", which is why you have to view comments like that through that prism.

thirdalternative wrote this on thread TS: Elliott Smith as martyr v. Jeff Buckley as martyr, which is more annoying? on board I Love Music on 12-May-2008

Who cares? Only 14 year-olds revere rock stars.

burt stanton sock?

you think dawkins is part of that? you think that comment reveals that?? if not then stfu imo

xp

also thanks a lot l0u1s jagg3r you fucking idiot for turning this into a thread to repaste thirdalternative posts so now some dickweed mod will move it to ile

keeping it positive ^^

only one thing for it: get 3rdalt on 77

Eth: do you not accept that the "I'm not saying, I'm just saying" argument is usually employed by people who _are_ "saying"?

Well, whatever you wanna say about the dude, his canon contains a great wealth of potential usernames.

joke usernames were played in 2008, didn't u read that thread?

...

hey look this thread is on ILE now WTG team

maybe thirdalternative can pop in here and accuse me of stalking him

old 77 threads on ile = manna from heaven

The Road To 102

The significance of the number

The precision of the number of fish has long been considered peculiar, and many scholars, throughout history, have argued that 153 has some deeper significance. Jerome, for example, claimed that the Greeks had identified that there were exactly 153 species of fish in the sea (modern marine biology puts the figure as something over 29,000, though the disciples were fishing in the Sea of Tiberias, which actually is a lake). St. Louis-Marie de Montfort, in his fifth method of saying the Rosary, considers that the number 153 was foreshadowing of the number of Hail Marys in the Rosary: "its fruitfulness as shown in the net that St. Peter by order of Our Lord threw into the sea and which though filled with 153 [representing 153 Hail Marys in the Rosary] fish did not break." [1] Mathematically, 153 is a triangular number, more precisely it is the sum of the integer numbers from 1 to 17 inclusive; more significantly, 153 also has the rare property that it is the sum of the cubes of its own digits (i.e. 153 = 1x1x1 + 5x5x5 + 3x3x3). In the time of Pythagoras, 153 was most significant for being the denominator in the closest fraction known, at the time, to the true value of the square root of 3, the fraction in question being 265/153 (the difference between this and the square root of 3 is merely 0.000025......). The ratio of 153:265 was consequently known throughout the Hellenic world as the measure of the fish.[citation needed]

The fact that the measure of the fish was known to include 153, as one of its two numbers, and that the measure of how many fish the disciples are said to have caught is also 153, has not gone unnoticed by many scholars, with some suggesting that the number of fish in the New Testament episode is simply down to being the most familiar large number to the writer, or a deliberate reference to the geometric nomenclature as a sort of in-joke. It is significant that a story was told of Pythagoras by Iamblichus[2], then Porphyry[3], and later reported by Plato, that is very similar, even in wording, to the Biblical narrative of this event; some scholars have argued that the entire Biblical episode is a coded reference to a geometric diagram, since Pythagoreanism saw geometry and numbers as having deep esoteric meaning, and via Hermeticism (and more minor routes) it was profoundly influential in the development of Hellenic mystery religions, and in certain aspects of gnosticism, an early belief system with disputed origins[4]. While such themes would be unusual if the New Testament was only intended to be taken literally, several modern scholars, as well as most ancient followers of gnosticism, have argued that parts of the New Testament were written as gnostic documents.

this thread has been on ile before.

this sort of reminds me of 77

how fitting in these numerology-obsessed mayan endtimes that the trinity of suggest bans would be completed by the 153rd nomination

hey actually i have a better solution. this thread is going back on 77, and lj is getting banned from 77, since nobody else was dumb enough not to fuck this up.

can lj still read 77 and not post or is it invisible to him

i think it is invisible to him, so prob dont want to meta him out over here at this point.

im guessing that's 'hurricane'?
