"De tantos que habían en la fiesta, unos se tenían que salir porque ya robaban oxígeno"

“De tantos que habían en la fiesta, unos se tenían que salir porque ya robaban oxígeno”

- Grandmomma.

There were so many people at the party that some of them had to start to step out because they now only stole oxygen.

Not a serving spoon (cross it out*)

Look at the size of this fork! It's huge! All forks should be this big.
It makes you feel small, doesn't it?
Yeah, I love feeling small. (laughs)
This is actually a tea spoon.

*it sounds better without the info on the title... but I thought I should make it clearer anyway, if only somewhat clearer.

I’m a cheater. “Painted” on photoshop…...

I’m a cheater.

“Painted” on photoshop… odorless, command+z… yeah.

Will do some others I think… it’s like playing tetris.

“Do you think it’s disrespectful? […] I mean, I’ve worn human before.”

- Went to The Last Tuesday Society for their lecture on chloroform.

I covet the £30,000 dissected mummified skull… but don’t have that type of money.

Translate this to the politics of the world... and cringe

Translate this to the politics of the world... and cringe:

I shudder at the thought of years upon years of politics as an art form.1

Keith Devlin: Well I'm going to ask you five simple questions, four that are in one block and then one that's going to be separate, okay? And you have to do this very quickly in your head, you don't have to read out the answer out to me. Subtract 1 from 1, now do 4-1, now do 8-7, now do 15-12. Okay now , think of a number between 12 and 5, got it?
Peter Evans: Yeah, yeah.
Keith Devlin: You've got the number 7. Almost everybody listening in has the number 7. [Not everyone will because it is a probability that you will get this. It's a likelihood that is exploited by mind readers such as Uri Geller, I got 7 myself-LB]
Peter Evans: Why, why have I, come on?!
Keith Devlin: What I did was I set it up so that your ...... you have a built in number sense, you have a built in pattern recognizer that works with numbers. In doing those subtractions of smaller numbers from a larger one I got you to think about subtraction, then I said a number between 12 and 5, if you subtract 5 from 12 you get 7. You were subconsciously subtracting and thinking "ah 7 must be the answer". You didn't know you were doing that. I simply set it up so that your brain got involved in a pattern.

"The way we’ve evolved is to have brains that look for patterns in everything, that has helped..."

“The way we’ve evolved is to have brains that look for patterns in everything, that has helped us survive in the past, and looking for patterns in numbers is no different. We’re always looking to extract meaning, and now in a row of numbers, you can see here are two of the same, here are two that add up, and the more you learn about simple arithmetic and maths and so on, the more complicated patterns you can see. It’s just a natural by-product of meaning-seeking brains which is what we have.”
