Eh, existential crisis's aren't special if you aren't goth or something.

[Flying Dice]

* Flying Dice puts away his cuttin' knife.

What? You saw nuffink!

[bluejello]

well, as long as existence does not have a crisis we are fine. I think, might be better to say mostly fine.

[Darvi]

Tha's just a cosmic retcon.

[Xantalos]

and so greatorder accidentally began the great bay12 existential crisis of 2012. the start of the end of the world.

If this actually happens and I don't get to do it, I'll be very dissapointed.

look, you can push redking over the edge, causing the government tech support to go batshit insane and help propagate the end of the world, if you want.

Hey RedKing...

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

I'm so sorry.

[Hanslanda]

Ah. Different physics and all that fun stuff.

"Well, we found another universe, but over there twelve plus nine equals gigantic floating space fetus in rainbow colors, so we closed the door quietly and cried til the screaming stopped."

My God, it's full of stars!

That's what they said on the other side. "Sir, we saw a portal open. These hideous... Ape-things with no hair or scales or tentacles loomed through, and they had... THEY HAD LITTLE LIGHT SENSING ORGANS! ON THEIR FACE! And we glimpsed their world, and there weren't any rainbow-colored space fetuses or tentacle monsters or anything! It was horrifying!"

I'm not sure if you got the reference or not.

[Hanslanda]

Not at all.

[Rose]

Here's a hint: the reference has the proportions 1:4:9, at least in the first three dimensions.

2001: A Space Odyssey?

I know that's the golden mean or whatever, but I'm pretty dense.

Bingo. We have a winner!

When whatsisface approaches the monolith that also acts as a portal to the other side of the galaxy, his words are "My god, it's full of stars!"

[Hanslanda]

Ah, I see. I've seen that a few times, but I was mostly distracted when it was on. So it's no surprise to me I missed that much. I got the major plotline pretty well.

[Rose]

Funny thing, I read the book before I watched the movie.

The book was far more entertaining, but less hard scifi.

Not the golden mean, but the squares of the first three natural numbers.
