How did you get here?

[Miranda]

I actually didn't Google this page. I used Bing to search for forums about linguistics and then Hypography.com's linguistics section popped up. :cup:

[Tormod]

Cool. We're seeing a lot of traffic from Bing recently.

oooh i never had a go at answering this very question.

 

It was a dark, gloomy night. The moon, that would have normally been so bright and full, dousing the earth with its floury reflection like a mild flood light, was hidden by a thick cloud cover; masking it's crator-lined chorisma, the scars by which humanity was made possible. It was late, perhaps it wouldn't seem that for those in cities that never sleep, but even for those people it was late. I was perched on a raft, half-concious, with only light sprays of waves braking on the side of the mast, lightly dousing my mind with random information kept the subtle feeling of light consciousness from fading away into the night. The raft was riding up and down the waves, following the general flow as it raced through a series of pipes, from the west coast, to the east, then europe, now and again going outside the bounds of visible spectrum but nevertheless, it was all always bound to come back to it's point of origin, the center of it's little universe, circling back with quite predictable periodicity. All i needed to do was to hang on, to jump out in the middle is to find yourself in a universe you had not yet even begun to imagine, most likely dying of boredom and stupidity it would be like deeming oneself to forever suffer. It was at that moment, when everything seemed to almost fade away that the raft jerked, and caught on a small island. There was so much information there, packed so densely that it was hard enough to walk on. It felt like an island, but an island that grew and morphed around you to make itself somehow better, somehow inviting. I quickly charted it's location, because i knew that this island was much too interesting to research, but hard though it may be, also fragile, exposed to the rest of the turbulent tube wars it would crumble, but as it was, walking seemed something that would keep one from loosing conciousness.

 

and that's how i ended up here....

I use the internet.

I found a link to one of UncleAl's posts here: Global Warming Forum - Topix

TBA-I know the voices in my head aren't real, but they have excellent ideas

;) that's awesome!!!

 

Oh....yeah......how I get here?

 

Well.......to be honest.....I was drinking VERY heavily back then.....and...reeeeeeally bored....and thoroughly deprived of intellectual stimulation.....did I mention I was drinking heavily?....anywho....being drunk and bored and finally in possession of a half decent computer [more than capable of recieving multiple porn streams at once while surfing] and more importantly in possession of the knowledge that people gather in groups to discus things in forums I type in science forums for the hell of it and here I be.

 

BTW... Juno browser search

[Illiad]

I was googling heisenberg when i stumbled upon a really smart but boring professor writing something overly technical about it. I never read what he wrote but i discovered hypography. I especially love the silly claims. Reading all the insanity going on in there is fun.

[Southtown]

I googled "science forums" =P

[CerebralEcstasy]

I did a search for a science forum simply because I was sick of talking to brainless morons in chat. I felt that there must be SOME place on the internet where people might have interesting conversations about absolutely everything, and where I might learn a few things too. I believe Hypography had the tag line, 'science for everyone' and that drew me in....

 

I haven't left too many posts here, as I've always been extremely busy, but it's still a great place to read 'stuff.

Thanks for reminding me about that! I'll make sure it comes back.

I was on bing at 4 in the morning after having a near all night discussion about different scientific studies and was looking for a good explanation for the results of the double-slit experiment when firing a single photon, you know, the whole single photon creating wave interferrence with itself. Anyways, I found a 10+ page discussion on here and spent the next two days reading through it in my free time. Needless to say, I found out that you guys (and gals) are as crazy or crazier than me. Immediately I knew that I had found a place to call home.

[grim]

I used to talk/kibitz with Turtle and Raccoon over on PostMagnet.

 

My interests lay more in philosophy and social sciences.

[sobermonkey]

I was looking on the Internet for something interesting to read on Mathematics and this place came out.

[Rea Yufi]

I found here Google searching Science Forums ^-^

[Mountain]

I found this forum from a mention of it by a member of a survivalist forum I post on, she gave a link to it and I checked it out.

I was a lurker for many years. I remember Hypography around 2002. Good times!
