Well, That Could Have Gone Better 010

Jan 05, 2009 17:53

If you really think about bodies they're a lot like machines. Actually, bodies are machines, but they're just squishy, bleedy machines with a skin and a soft bag of snot, blood and organs inside! But people don't like it when I talk about organs, but they don't mind when I talk about the innards of machines. I don't quite understand that rule to be ( Read more... )

the captain is a great man, i love fixing things, i can do this, who needs all those fingers anyway?, science!, machines rule

...What kind of experiments?

screwyoubob January 6 2009, 02:16:45 UTC

Uhm, fun experiments! It all depends on your body and how far we want to see it go.

...Tempted to just say I'll pass, but at the same time I'm curious.

screwyoubob January 6 2009, 02:25:16 UTC

Oh. 'kay.

I'll... pass.

The last time I offered to help, I got threatened by being cursed and ended up getting magic that I didn't want.

screwyoubob January 6 2009, 02:22:11 UTC

Cursed? Magic? Oh my God, who wants to use magic? This is science, which is like ten times better because anyone can do it!

rdmcatpaw January 6 2009, 02:25:34 UTC

Although, doing the task didn't get me cursed, to my knowledge.

Back in Vana'Diel, practually everyone can use magic!

Like Alchemy? I know a little of it, but I'm not good like some other people that I know.

screwyoubob January 6 2009, 02:26:54 UTC

Yeah, it's like alchemy! You can do really cool things with it, and it has some really awesome ideas in it like math and chemistry and biology and they're all linked together!

It's like unravelling the world. It's so cool.

"Experiments"...?

screwyoubob January 6 2009, 02:28:04 UTC

An experiment is when you conduct a controlled test or investigation!

lilyground January 6 2009, 02:29:50 UTC

... What?

screwyoubob January 6 2009, 02:41:09 UTC

Let's say you have a question, Lily! Which cupcake tastes the best? You would take one of each cupcake and taste them and then write down how much you liked it. At the end, you'd look at your data and know which cupcake flavour is your personal best!

Science!

You're not...planning on experimenting on passengers, are you?

Even with their consent...that isn't right.

screwyoubob January 6 2009, 02:40:18 UTC

If they consent then it's right! Because that is informed consent which is very important in the ethics of running experiments! I have read a lot about ethical experiments and I'm ready to give it a go!

Do you want to experiment with me?

thisis_not_good January 6 2009, 02:42:18 UTC

Ah...eheh. No.

screwyoubob January 6 2009, 02:44:47 UTC

I would give you information which is part of a disclosure agreement beforehand which would mean that it would be an ethical experiment!

How many spines do you have?

Probably because they don't want to be reminded of any horrifying events in their life.

screwyoubob January 6 2009, 03:56:15 UTC

Me neither!

sonotyourdog January 6 2009, 04:02:44 UTC

Then why did you bring it up?

screwyoubob January 6 2009, 04:04:17 UTC

Because... science!
