08:24:56 <sbp> yo
08:33:34 <sbp> ooh, RPI deflation!
08:34:42 <[bjoern]> perhaps you rapidly deflate.
08:36:04 <appletizer> bet that won't change a thing about food prices
08:36:41 <_ulises> especially fish

08:50:45 <sbp> appletizer: yeah, they didn't mention CPI
08:50:46 <sbp> not sure why
08:51:14 <[bjoern]> It's to further the fisher's agenda.
08:53:13 <appletizer> sbp, good point, i think RPI's more suited to the UK, includes council tax, and other housing-related specifics, CPI's the international standard
08:54:32 <appletizer> (so RPI = CPI + a few extras)
08:54:49 <[bjoern]> .wik Karatsuba

08:54:50 <sbp> appletizer: no, we have our own
08:54:53 <sbp> appletizer: see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consumer_Price_Index_(United_Kingdom)
08:57:20 <_ulises> is it 5 to 10? perfect time for going for tea + syrup pancakes ...
09:05:43 <appletizer> sbp, true, that makes sense...

09:41:58 <[bjoern]> There ought to be more christian venn diagrams
09:43:43 <sbp> how would they work?
09:44:37 <[bjoern]> Generate crosses rather than crescents, of course.

09:45:37 <sbp> played like a player
09:46:02 <sbp> hmm, the Constabulary Chief Inspector is facing MPs now
09:46:11 <[bjoern]> For an alternate reply I had prepared the answer "Ask Mr Geometry"
09:46:18 <sbp> really makes me wonder if they're turning Parliamentary commissions into reality TV shows
09:47:02 <sbp> someone did something wrong. rather than making them face justice, we'll just televise them squirming in front of a bunch of MPs who won't then actually do anything
09:47:12 <[bjoern]> Reality is much like fiction. Only boring.
09:47:22 <sbp> the public will feel happy because they saw them squirm
09:47:31 <[bjoern]> Brot und Spiele.
09:47:38 <sbp> BREAD AND CHAT
09:47:50 <sbp> amirightamiright?
09:48:09 <[bjoern]> Well, as far as Swhack goes, probably

09:48:30 <sbp> hmm
09:48:45 <sbp> what is the meaning of this?

09:48:58 <phenny> "'Bread and circuses' (or Bread and games) (from Latin: panem et circenses) is a metaphor for handouts and petty amusements that politicians use to gain popular support, instead of gaining it through sound policy." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panem_et_circenses

09:49:42 <sbp> so this has been around at least since Juvenal

10:13:18 * _ulises is quite familiar with bread and circuses in action :(
10:14:08 *** The_Pot (i=The_Pot@unaffiliated/chinmay) has joined #swhack
10:19:44 <Talliesin> The term is unfair in a way though.
10:20:13 <Talliesin> Supplying grain to Rome was not easy, and of significant influence to the economy and welfare of its citizens.
10:20:19 <Talliesin> So the bread bit was quite important.
10:20:40 *** The_Pot_ (i=The_Pot@unaffiliated/chinmay) has joined #swhack
10:21:32 <sbp> I don't think Juvenal's point is that the bread is unimportant
10:21:50 <sbp> only that it's bad to consider only that, in lieu of everything else
10:23:11 <_ulises> nowadays is more like shoes and a sandwich ... at least back home
10:23:21 <sbp> shoes?
10:23:23 <_ulises> yes
10:23:26 <_ulises> trainers even
10:23:39 <cre8radix> tanzschuhe
10:23:42 <cre8radix> latschen
10:23:44 <_ulises> believe me or not, this is how it works
10:23:58 <_ulises> you get the right shoe/trainer together with a name you should vote for
10:24:08 <_ulises> and you get a marked ballot thingie (vote?)
10:24:19 <_ulises> when they do the counting they have people informing who voted for whom
10:24:25 <_ulises> and then you get the left shoe

17:12:10 <[bjoern]> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cum_shot and then check out the other language pages.
17:14:19 <sbp> uh...
17:14:33 <sbp> hahaha
17:15:42 <[bjoern]> So what have you learned?
17:17:52 <bancus> The pornography industry adopted the term "'money shot'" because the final ejaculation scene has become an important element in pornographic depictions, in part because it proves to the viewer that they have witnessed an authentic sexual act.
17:17:56 <bancus> That thought had never occurred to me.
17:18:13 <bancus> I also love that the article actually uses the word irrumatio.
17:18:23 <bancus> I had previously believed myself to be the only one who used that in English.
17:18:30 <bancus> (I picked it up in Latin from Catullus.)
17:21:00 <bancus> The English noun irrumatio or irrumation and verb irrumate come from the Latin irrumare that means to suck or fellate [2].
17:21:03 <bancus> Um, no.
17:21:09 <bancus> fellare means to fellate
17:21:23 <bancus> That's pretty much direct.

22:20:46 <danja> In the early 1980s, the Naval Investigative Service was investigating homosexuality in the Chicago area. Agents discovered that gay men sometimes referred to themselves as "friends of Dorothy." Unaware of the historical meaning of the term, the NIS believed that a woman named Dorothy was at the center of a massive ring of homosexual military personnel. The NIS launched an enormous hunt for Dorothy, hoping to find her and
22:20:51 <danja> convince her to reveal the names of gay servicemembers.
