Bay12 is basically a bunch of very well informed lay-people that still are open minded enough to debate reasonably.

Let's see... well informed... lay person... open minded... debates reasonably...
Ah, guess one out of four is better than nothing.

25% is a quarter, and you can buy a piece of candy with a quarter.

[Hanslanda]

A quarter is only 25! You can't even get a pair of boots for 25 units!

[Kagus]

But you can afford a two-bit lyin' snake, which can either be put inside a boot or put outside a boot.

Venus has no surface water, 90 atmospheres of surface pressure, slow rotation and barely any seasonal variance due to orbital reasons. And yet the atmosphere is still pretty active, with polar vortexes, 200 to 400mile per hour winds in the cloud layers (the atmosphere is apparently famous for being superrotating in fact, so where you got the idea of a hot still soup from baffles me, even at ground level there’s a perpetual stiff breeze), and apparently an inverse equivalent to Hadley cells in the upper atmosphere . The reason that there’s very little temperature variance at ground level despite the incredibly long nights to cool off is partly due to the massive strong Windsor perpetually supplying heat from the hot(ter) side

But ain't two bits twice as much as one? Guess I'll take the head half

I now see a giant castle laboriously hauling wagonloads of HOT over to the dark side of Venus.

The castle is wearing a necktie.

1 bit = 1/8 dollar

[Starver]

Noaa has now developed guidelines for removing eels in future incidents.

[syvarris]

Huh.  I guess that means one byte is one dollar.  That's some clever marketing, you can get a piece of candy for one quarter, but then you've gotten buy three more before you can afford to eat them up.

Wait, what was the topic?  Yeah, Venus.  Uhh.  Venus is super windy because hot stuff is windy, you can tell because models in commercials always have their hair flying everywhere.  And Venus obviously has to be the hottest, so Venus must therefore also be the windiest.  Yeah.  Science.

[wierd]

She must use amazing products.  Windblown hair is terrible to manage. 

[TD1]

Finally, an explantation that makes sense.

[Kagus]

Or you could just buy two and have yourself a nybble.

Huh. Never connected the planet named after the goddess of beauty also being like, super hot. Neat.
We should still build floating cities there, btw. It'll be rad. So rad.
