We have given them the spoon plague. *wonders if anyone will get The Goon Show reference*

Oh wait until the next cover has one massive spoon on it.

Tribble · Post by **Tribble** » 24 Feb 2009, 05:47

Now that would be an epic day !

RuadRauFlessa · Post by **RuadRauFlessa** » 24 Feb 2009, 07:39

And Tribble would frame that cover and hang it in her bedroom

So much for our big surprise in the next issue...

RuadRauFlessa · Post by **RuadRauFlessa** » 24 Feb 2009, 08:07

Wait which next issue. The one with me on p10 or the one after that?

*crosses fingers and hopes for the latter*

Well, I can't spoil everything. You'll all have to wait and see...
As well as learn not to implicitly trust everything I say concerning the mag in this particular thread

Not that anyone believes that the spoon in your hand is as big as you say. They want proof printed in the next issue of the mag.

My spoon isn't in my hand. It's sitting on the seat next to me..

Proof is still required whether it is in your hand or on the chair next to you does not matter.

I knew altering the title of this thread would come in handy some day..

The spoon is in a state of quantum flux that means it is simultaneously too big as well as an acceptable size. As long as it remains unseen, it will remain in this state. Observing the spoon will collapse the quantum wave-form and reduce it to one or the other of the two states. Therefore I cannot submit proof, visual or otherwise, of the size of said spoon.

*I learnt my quantum mechanics from Terry Pratchett so forgive the inaccuracies in the explanation*

Proof that the spoon does not exist: What spoon?

Problem being that the spoon you speak of is only a theoretical spoon and could for all purposes not even exist. If an observation/reading of the spoon has never been made then it could also be a void and thus not exist. Also by the spoon sitting next to you on the chair the quantum wave-form has to be collapsed already since you would already have made an observation of the said spoon.

Ah dammit... caught out by not remembering what I posted beforehand.
Foiled again!

@ Drakonis.

You wanted to talk about your spoon.

Tribble · Post by **Tribble** » 24 Feb 2009, 11:34

In stating that you cannot prove that the spoon exists - you have offered proof that you cannot prove that it doesn't. In the absence of wind - do we prove that there is no air? Nope. The air still exists even though there is no evidence to support that fact.

In the dark, do we say that light does not exist? Nope - for the light does exist as soon as the darkness ceases to exist.

Therefore the spoon does exist.

And yes - I would frame it - were it true.

This whole thing has taken a decided turn for the metaphysical...
I'ma gonna go get some work done now...

Post by **Anakha56** » 25 Feb 2009, 00:03

Drakonis, are you scared to get metaphysical with your spoon?

RuadRauFlessa · Post by **RuadRauFlessa** » 25 Feb 2009, 07:21

He only has an theoretical spoon since there has not been any observations done.

Ron, please wordfilter spoon to penis.

Post by **Drakonis** » 25 Feb 2009, 09:47

Can we do that? In that case, I want a certain Mordor wordfilter

You want to view his spoon?!?

RuadRauFlessa · Post by **RuadRauFlessa** » 25 Feb 2009, 16:54

No I have assigned the task of assessing the size of his spoon to Tribble. And she has ever so graciously agreed tot he task.

Post by **Anakha56** » 25 Feb 2009, 17:12

And how will you know that what Tribble see's is real? Could his spoon be the Flying Spaghetti Monster?!?

RuadRauFlessa · Post by **RuadRauFlessa** » 25 Feb 2009, 17:36

I think that if we get both Jee and Tribble involved we should get to the truth of the matter.
