Great minds think in Lettuce Time

Posted by Malaika on May 5, 2006, 8:42 p.m.

My partner and I are planning on writing a book, entitled (you guessed it) "Great Minds Think in Lettuce Time". It will be a book of adsurd thoughts, interesting observations and life-changing considerations.

Basically, we're going to write down all of the stupid ideas we've come up with, as well as a few of the interesting theories too.

For example, my SO came up with the idea of 'lettuce time' (keep in mind this is in fact the worst, and stupidest, idea in the book) in which the world is governed by how long it takes lettuce to decompose. I try to argue the logical point, but to no avail. I'll have to clarify exactly where lettuce time came from, cos it makes no sense to me.

There was also another one, involving pedestrian crossings and the surface tension of a giant blob of water.

The theory that the theory of time and travelling the speed of light, and how it's fundamentally flawed because you can't divide by zero, is in fact wrong. I think that rather than being an exponential graph, it should in fact be a hyperbola, therefore stating that if you went FASTER than the speed of light you would in fact travel backwards in time.

And others. It may actually turn out pretty interesting. If we ever get around to writing the damn thing.

I'm also CONSIDERING rejuvenating my most ambitious project - Novastorm. Considering it at least. The original few attempts were marred by my general inability to do many parts of the game, including graphics and some code. But now I may be able to get through it.

But Danse Machina first! Still working on level one. I think you might like it. Its very Aliens-esque in style. Pretty cool, and scares the hell out of me.

If you aren't into the slower elements of rpgs (the talking and character development etc) then you aren't going to like DM much, even though it's an action game. I really want to go with a deep storyline for the characters - make them three dimensional if you will. I'll also get into doing my own portraits for them, but that will have to wait until I get my WACOM Tablet. That will certainly make things easier.

AAAANYHOO, cyas on the morrow for another interesting rant!

Mmm lettuce.

When is your game(demo) coming out? Thats the only thing I can think of looking foward to in the upcoming days.

If you could travel faster than light, I personally think everything would nearly "disappear". Sounds interesting though.

Geez, people are so impatient. They'll be going the speed of light, but will they be content? Nooo. They'll want to actualy move through time, to have more time to do what they want. Geez.

That book sounds awesome. I wanna do something like that, but theories are hard to think up. :(

will the book be eatable?

I personally like to think in Broccoli time myself and I occasionaly indulge in carrot thinking time.

Why not pineapples instead of lettuce?

I have a good question, if your car was going the speed of light what wouldbe the point of having the headlights on =P
