February 4
 

It was a new age. It was the end of history. It was the day everything changed. The day was Babylon 5 Three-Dayge, Day 3. The place was FiveMinute.net.
<ul>[*]Sa'ar's final contribution to this event is "Grail." Five guesses which movie he references, and the first four don't count.[*]Next is Derek Dean's first B5er: "Intersections in Real Time."[*]And after yesterday's update, there could be no doubt that this was coming: The Top 10 Signs That Your Girlfriend is a Shadow (by me).[/list]

This concludes our brief excursion to Epsilon 3. There's still lots of B5 to cover, though -- and Sa'ar is staff now, so you can expect it to keep coming.


Up next: Doctor Who!


(Picky clerical note: I've interchanged the colour codes of 5MB5 and 5MFY. The lighter brown is easier on the eyes and thus should go with the subsite we'll be hearing from more often.)

I always thought B5 seemed familiar -- it's Swamp Castle!

Wow, I've *actually* seen "Intersections in Real Time".

I think.

Anyway, love the 1984 references.

That's a Vorlon reply, all right.

Gotta love those nods to Narnia.

I would think #1 on the Shadows list would equal #1 on the Vorlons list, but I digress.

Heh.

I love it!

Groan.

And another groan.

Good stuff, all around. :)

Hey, waitaminute, 2+2=5 is my ... uh ... er ...

Sa'ar: Idiom, sir?

... Idiom!

Unless, of course, this is just the 2+2 = 5 day of the Three-Dayge.

If that were the case though, this should be number 5:

Anyway, great list, Zeke. Great fiver, Sa'ar. Congrats, Sa'ar, on B5 section headedness.

All of it. http://www.trekbbs.com/threads/images/graemlins/lol.gif

Derek: You, too.

Lamont?

Funny.

Thank you, sir, and thank you all for your kind words.

Great minds, and all that. (Again!)

We also both put a Sith reference into the same scene.

Although, for the record, I wrote Grail long before you wrote yours.

I've made enough references to that movie in other fivers that I decided to have some fun and screw with people's expectations.

I also put in a massive pile of other references...I think there's one line that contains about five by itself.

Forgot to mention before --
Fantastic.

Brave Sir Jinxo ran away! :lol:

ZING!

*Dies*

I'm greatly, greatly disapointed at the lack of reference to Bishop Brennan, however. ;)

Boo-yah!

Okay, I'm taking that "Boo-yah!" right back. :P

Most amusing, all told, though I've gotten some odd looks from the other library partons as a result of bursting out giggling so many times. Ah well.

Parton, patron, same difference.

Three, sir!

2 + 2 does = 5

...for particularly large values of 2.

:mrgreen:

You are completely loopey, you know that? :D

I need to add that to my sig.

:mrgreen:

The funny thing is, in one of my math classes a while back, someone did make a statement to the effect of:

2 + N = N

For sufficiently large values of N. ;)

It's an old math joke. My favourite version is that pi equals 3 for large values of 3 and small values of pi.

How about this one:

x-y=0

Therefore, 2x-2y=0
Therefore (x-y)=0, and 2(x-y)=0
Therefore (x-y)=2(x-y)
Therefore 1=2

:P

Along those same lines, but without the divide-by-zero, I've always liked the proof as to why 0.9(bar) equals 1.

(what I wouldn't give for a bar notation...)

let x = 0.9(bar)
Therefore 10x = 9.9(bar)
Thus 10x - x = 9.9(bar) - 0.9(bar)
Thus 9x = 9
Thus x = 1

^ the last step is illegal. you can't divide by zero.

(and without even editing, it looks like Derek beats me to it)
