          Well, I most probably certainly not not undisentertained, with the caveat that I might probably am certainly not not certainly probably unentertained not not from a lack of certain probable undisentertainment so much as a probable certain possible lack of not nondisunentertainment.

          Yes it’s a small exhaust port, right below the main port. But be careful where you shoot or else this happens, http://www.wonderwigandalfredoboy.com/?p=339

          Funny you should mention that, I was just watching some anime (Kaichou wa Maid-sama!) and I noted to myself that it passed the Bechdel test.

        4. Plasma Mongoose

          10/18/2012, 5:33 pm

          A lot of anime passes the test and if the cast has 3 or more main female characters, it will almost certainly pass the test with flying colours.

          How are Violet and Burgundy considered types of pink?

        10. Plasma Mongoose

          10/18/2012, 5:04 am

          Since pink is a red/blue hybrid that only exist in our brains.

          Violet is a blue heading towards the red hue.

          Burgundy is a red heading towards the blue hue.

        11. Resne

          10/18/2012, 10:13 am

          If you want to get REALLY philosophical about it color is just a cnstruct of our minds in and of itself, so pink just is extra nonexistent.

        12. das-g

          10/18/2012, 5:09 pm

          Pink exists. It might not be a spectral color, but it is a color. Colors aren’t (just) a construct of our minds. They’re distributions of frequencies. Some colors look the same to us, although they aren’t, and we use the same names for those. That’s why RGB monitors and CMYK prints work, to some extent.

        13. TheRealAllPurposeGuru

          10/18/2012, 7:06 pm

          Pink is a red-WHITE hybrid. Blue had nothing to do with it.

          Seriously. He had witnesses.

        14. TheClipper

          10/18/2012, 8:20 pm

          What I took away from all this: pink does not exist.

      So you fell into the age old trap of never needing to study to retain information or learn new skills, then hit either the 200 or 300 level courses and didn’t have the study skills you needed?
