*rubs eyes* it was 12 yesterday

But that wasn't a school day and today is one, provided that the academic year is roughly the same.

Well, not here
Today is the day where I am a threadkiller.

In that case, the waking up at 9 is justified. For a while, I thought it meant getting up at 9 on a school day.

[Pathetic administration, at least they took Friday off the calendar!]

This thread can't die.

woohoo! new page even!

Is thread this dead [sic]. Am I excited quite over event happy this [sic].

Haven't visited this thread for a while but am pleased to see it's alive and kicking.

Now if someone invoked Godwin's Law, it would be dead for sure....

What's Godwin's Law?

You don't want to know....

If it's something very bad, nasty or highly mathematical then you're right, I don't want to know. Is it?

"As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1."

Basically, all online discussions, given enough time, will always (non-literal, as I learned quite embarrassingly) result in a comparison to Hitler or Nazis that ends the discussion. The intent was to reduce comparing real mania (Nazis and Hitler) to petty things (like what two adolescents would say in a physical fight). People have published corollaries to this, but the most important one is that you can't invoke it intentionally. It has to happen over time.

ello ello....what's this then?

This thread is a discussion on Godwin's Law? That is a tired old concept that should be laid to rest. Infinite monkeys typing on infinite typewriters for infinite time will result in every possible literary outcome...including the scenario of a baboon making comparisons of behaviours of others and that of nazi party members/hitler. meh.
