THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I GET BORED
(14:41:58) Shinryuu Sith: I HAVE A BREAD KNIFE.
(14:42:04) PrinceOfPlankton: I HAVE A PEN
(14:42:30) Shinryuu Sith: IT COMPARES NOT TO THE MIGHTY BREAD KNIFE.
(14:42:37) PrinceOfPlankton: NO
(14:44:26) PrinceOfPlankton: KNIVES CAN BE USED FOR CUTTING THINGS
(14:44:55) Shinryuu Sith: AND A PEN CAN'T. BUT A KNIFE CAN'T DISPENSE INK ON PAPER. THUS, THEY CANNOT BE COMPARED.
(14:45:18) PrinceOfPlankton: IT IS THERE WHERE YOU ARE INCORRECT
(14:45:32) PrinceOfPlankton: FOR PROPERLY USED A PEN CAN BE USED FOR CUTTING CERTAIN SOFT OR MALLEABLE OBJECTS
(14:45:37) PrinceOfPlankton: FOR PENS HAVE A SHARP POINT
(14:45:54) PrinceOfPlankton: NOT SHARP LIKE A NEEDLE, BUT SHARPER THAN, SAY, A COFFEE MUG
(14:45:54) Shinryuu Sith: AND IF YOU WERE TO DIP A KNIFE IN INK, IT COULD USE ITS EDGE TO WRITE.
(14:46:06) Shinryuu Sith: BUT THAT IS NOT THE PURPOSE OF IT.
(14:46:35) PrinceOfPlankton: YES, BUT THE KNIFE WOULD REQUIRE CONSTANT REFRESHING OF ITS INK SUPPLY
(14:46:48) Shinryuu Sith: AND THE PEN CANNOT CUT.
(14:46:54) PrinceOfPlankton: THE PEN WOULD NOT, AND IT CAN BE USED FOR PIERCING OVER AND OVER AGAIN
(14:47:57) Shinryuu Sith: IT CAN PIERCE, BUT IT CANNOT CUT.
(14:47:06) PrinceOfPlankton: THE LACK OF CUTTING ABILITY MAKES UP FOR IT BY ALLOWING IT TO BE USED MANY TIMES
(14:47:49) PrinceOfPlankton: IT DEPENDS ENTIRELY ON THE OBJECT IN QUESTION
(14:47:55) PrinceOfPlankton: I COULD CUT OFF A CHUNK OF BREAD WITH MY PEN
(14:48:03) Shinryuu Sith: THAT IS NOT 'CUTTING'.
(14:48:18) Shinryuu Sith: THAT IS TEARING AND/OR RIPPING.
(14:49:20) PrinceOfPlankton: A TORN OFF CHUNK OF BREAD HAS NO NUTRITIONAL VARIANCE FROM A CUT-OFF CHUNK OF BREAD, ASSUMING THE SAME SIZE
(14:49:40) Shinryuu Sith: BUT THE PEN ISN'T CUTTING. AND THE BREAD KNIFE CAN CUT MANY OTHER THINGS.
(14:49:48) Shinryuu Sith: PLUS THERE'D PROBABLY BE INK IN THE BREAD.
(14:50:01) PrinceOfPlankton: INK IS NON-TOXIC
(14:50:14) PrinceOfPlankton: THE PEN CAN PIERCE OTHER THINGS AS WELL
(14:50:16) PrinceOfPlankton: AND IT CAN WRITE
(14:50:38) Shinryuu Sith: THE KNIFE CAN GOUGE MARKS INTO SURFACES, THUS CREATING WRITING.
(14:51:05) PrinceOfPlankton: THE PEN'S TIP CAN ETCH INTO THE SURFACES OF MANY ITEMS AS WELL
(14:51:11) PrinceOfPlankton: SUCH AS SOFTER VARIETIES OF WOOD
(14:51:47) Shinryuu Sith: PUT A PEN IS A PEN, AND A KNIFE IS A KNIFE.
(14:51:52) PrinceOfPlankton: BUT IN GENERAL THE PEN IS MORE USEFUL THAN THE BREAD KNIFE, I THINK YOU CANNOT DISPUTE
(14:51:58) Shinryuu Sith: ...UNLESS YOU INVOKE THE CONCEPT OF SOME SORT OF 'PENKNIFE'.
(14:52:13) PrinceOfPlankton: HAVE YOU NEVER HEARD OF A PENKNIFE?
(14:52:35) Shinryuu Sith: I KNOW WHAT ONE IS. IT WAS AN ATTEMPT AT HUMOR OF SOME SORT.
(14:52:57) PrinceOfPlankton: GOSH DARN IT CAIT THIS IS A SERIOUS DISCUSSION OF BREAD KNIVES AND PENS
