<nug> what is the engine efficiency of a saturn v rocket?
<scromp> 6
<nug> you can't have 6
<nug> Given the temperatures reached, over 60% efficiency can be achieved
 with chemical rockets.
<nug> wow
<nug> Of the liquid propellants used, density is worst for liquid
 hydrogen. Although this propellant is marvellous in many ways, it has a very
 low density, about one fourteenth that of water.
<arcas> so store water and electrolize it on the fly
<arcas> and the neat part...you can burn the oxygen and hydrogen for
 thrust and re-form the water!
<nug> that is a neat trick
<arcas> well, it's not exactly rocket science

< scromp> "this function is leaking 2.3 bytes/sec on this system." <- lol
< darrenbday> wow leak velocity
< scromp> an unusual metric
< darrenbday> a scary one too, like oil quarts per mile for cars
< scromp> yeah this system is not going to be happy for long :)

< pretsel> Xach: can you give us any hints on what tomorrow's lisp tip will be?
< Xach> it will be about PAIP
< Xach> pretsel: i am dumbing it down a bit for the weekend
< pretsel> good idea. most lispers will be drunk then

< pretsel> I didn't know about the UK game that was going on in nola while I was there
< pretsel> a very drunk guy at a bar asked me where I was from. "Kentucky"
< pretsel> "You ready for an ass whipping?"
< pretsel> "Uh.....no?"

scromp: I only watch romantic comedies and documentaries about the sea.

<dbsr> "I couldn't work at a Rainforest Cafe without yelling "You know
 where you are? You're in the jungle baby! You're gonna die!"

<squatch> there was an inquiry program on our as400 that shows inbound
 items that do not have a warehouse locations written by our software vendor..
 22,000 lines of code and it was buggy as hell.
<squatch> I rewrote the program using the same language as the original
 program (RPG) and it is about 600 lines, has more features and has not failed
 in 1.5 years
<archon-> i am so turned on right now

< dblaine> detergent to others :(
< dblaine> fuck i'm terrible at this!
< lway> you're starch raving mad :)
< dblaine> few kinks to iron out
< lway> there you go. you're out of the spin cycle
< arcas> I can see this tide of bad puns is gaining speed.
< dblaine> yup we need to end this and say A L L that's All
< dblaine> we've got loads of other things to do, after all
< arcas> just need to bounce this pun off you and then I'm washing my hands of it and moving on
< lway> I fold

< nug> I like how when I get an e-mail from the Admin Assistant saying 
"Car Lights on in Bldg. 82 Parking Lot" how I read to make sure it isn't mine and 
when I see it is acutally a white ford taurus I immediately think . o O ( idiot )
