ThePhan: Erasmus: Nope. Getting hit on the head by a drunken person's paddle, apparently.
Erasmus: Hazards of the South Pole: Polar bears that can't tell South from North. Freezing temperatures. Drunken paddles to the head.

The True Love Bra

Goosey: ... wow. http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/...men-really-want-then-insults-them.html
ThePhan: LOL, yes, Jacob and I were discussing that the other day and how it's a terrible idea.
ThePhan: He referred to it as a "chastity bra," which, yup, is kind of the premise.
Goosey: hahaha
Goosey: Which is faulty to start with because unhooking a bra is only ONE way to get one off.
ThePhan: And, yeah, I had the same thought about, "What about when the heart rate is elevated for other reasons?"
Goosey: yeah hahaha
Goosey: Such as . . .giving a presentation at work? hahaha
ThePhan: It would be SERIOUSLY awkward and uncomfortable to have that suddenly come undone during a workout.
ThePhan: LOL OR YES
ThePhan: IF YOUR HEART RATE IS ELEVATED BECAUSE YOU'RE NERVOUS
ThePhan: That would be the worst one of all time.
ThePhan: I forget, do you watch The IT Crowd?
Goosey: Also, "physio-emotional stimulation" != True Love
Goosey: YES HAHAHA I love that episode
ThePhan: Hehehe
ThePhan: That's what it makes me think of.
Goosey: At best, it looks like a novelty toy. "Let's see if you can make my bra pop off" "Okay!"
ThePhan: LOL, right?
ThePhan: I feel like that's all it would be good for. Just goofing off with it.
Sentynel: Even assuming it worked, having your bra immediately pop off the moment you see your true love could cause some issues.
Goosey: hehehe
Goosey: Sent: YES
ThePhan: Sent: LOL YES
ThePhan: "How do you know if a girl really likes you?" "Well, sometimes, her bra will just fall off."
ThePhan: Love advice for the technological future.
Goosey: "Well, hello there . . . 8-. excuse me . . . bye . . . " *slinks away, clutching at boobs*
Goosey: hahaha
Sentynel: Well, it'd mean you could optimise dating pretty effectively.
Sentynel: Just line up a whole bunch of people and get them to walk past each other.
Goosey: ... wha? How so?
Goosey: LOL
ThePhan: LOL
Sentynel: If at any point someone's bra pops off, you've found a match, and you remove those two from the set.
Goosey: No no no, that's a flawed plan.
Goosey: How does the girl know the guy is interested? None of his clothes are falling off automatically.
Sentynel: I'm assuming true love is reciprocal by definition, here.
Goosey: exactly
ThePhan: Oh, there we go.
Goosey: Which it isn't.
ThePhan: So he HAS to love her if her bra is coming off.
ThePhan: That's how that works.
ThePhan: It's like true love's kiss from fairy tales.
Sentynel: Well, if that's not the case, you just put the bras on the guys too and wait for a pair to pop off.
Goosey: LOL LOL LOL
ThePhan: LOL LOL
Sentynel: I'm sure they can deal with wearing a bra for a few minutes in the quest for true love.
ThePhan: Any guy who would go to a dating service where they agree to wear a techie bra so they can find true love is a guy worth having.
Goosey: I think we win the contest of Plans for Most Awkward Speed Dating Theme EVER
Sentynel: The real problems start when somebody figures out how to hack these things and cause, say, every speed dater's bra to pop off simultaneously.
ThePhan: EVERYONE IS IN LOVE WITH EVERYONE
Goosey: "Wait! No! I wasn't . . . GET OFF ME!"
Goosey: "But . . .your bra . . ." "MALFUNCTIONED!"
Goosey: "DOES ANYBODY HAVE A SAFETY PIN?"
ThePhan: I feel like the best idea would be to wear an emergency bra over the techie one.
Goosey: LOL
ThePhan: Ya know, just to keep everything in place in case of mishap.
Goosey: Is'nt that what all bras are for?
[RinkChat] User Goosey has been kicked from the room by Goosey.
Goosey has left.
Goosey has entered.
ThePhan: LOL
Sentynel: Seems like you could optimise the whole thing by taking the bra part out and just keeping the detector. Have it light up in the presence of your true love or something.
Sentynel: Much less awkward.
Goosey: Sent: YES
Goosey: Maybe, like, it releases a tiny confetti shower or something
ThePhan: OK, I have to tell one of my very favorite awkward stories about a friend from school. (I'm pretty sure Goosey's heard this one.)
ThePhan: A friend and I were eating with a male acquaintance.
Sentynel: Did his bra pop off at an inconvenient moment?
ThePhan: LOL, not quite.
ThePhan: We were having a discussion that, somehow, got around to the topic of nude volleyball.
Goosey: LOL
ThePhan: My roomie said that not only sounded very sandy, but also kinda painful. I agreed.
ThePhan: My male acquaintance asked, "Why?"
Goosey: hahaha
ThePhan: Roomie says, "Well, dear, some body parts just... aren't meant to bounce like that."
ThePhan: He gets an extremely confused look on his face and says, "But... I thought that's what they were FOR."
Goosey: LOL LOL
ThePhan: HE WAS MISINFORMED
Maryam: LOL
Sentynel: LOL

Sugar and Concrete

Sentynel: TIL sugar stops concrete from setting.
Goosey: weird!
Goosey: Is that what they did for the underground station? Pour sugar all over it while they cleaned it up?
Sentynel: 0.04% sugar can approximately double the time taken to set, and 1% sugar is enough to effectively stop it setting entirely.
Sentynel: Yup!
Goosey: wow!
Goosey: That is GOOD TO KNOW
* ThePhan, if she were a supervillain, would go around sprinkling sugar on construction sites and then run away laughing evilly.
ThePhan: NOTHING WILL EVER BE BUILT
Goosey: LOL
Sentynel: Phan: LOL, my mind went straight to trolling, too.
