Well, here's a question: If there were people before Christianity who practiced other religions, where did they go when they died? Did they all just go to Hell because they "didn't know any better"?

I believe the answer usually given is that they went to a sort-of limbo, along with everyone else. When Christ died, they went to heaven.

It's called Metamathematics, when mathematical functions are used to find the solution to logical problems, rather than explicit integer([sic?]) and numeric variable that standard mathematic are fit to solve.

Excellent.  Ten points to Slytherin.

[Dsarker]

I believe you mean infinity points to Armok.

... Not really.  I think ten is a reasonable amount for explaining the devil's work that is metamathematics.

It would seem Japanese has twenty words for 'corpse.'

Wait, is 10 points good or bad?

[Rose]

it's a positive number. it's good.

[Aklyon]

it's a positive number. it's good.

But what if that counts as Slytherin's AC in Nethack? That would make it bad.

[Rose]

No, it's hogwarts house points things.

at the end of the year, whoever has the most points gets a prize.

Ooooh...
I wonder what Vector's "prize" is? Also wonders how close to first place I am..,

I found out from my Pepe that the cabin we'll be sleeping at in Maine won't have internet.  So I probably won't see you guys again until like Tuesday?  Either way, we'll see what happens.  Hopefully no time shenanigans happen and I don't have explain closed room murders this time.

Also, be on the lookout for suspiciously friendly hillbillies and lobstermen.

Reading Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality.

I am normally not that fond of the Potter-verse and only stop by there every so once in a while, but this is possibly my favorite fandom-thing ever.

The prize is not being beaten with a bamboo stick. The joke's on her, though, because I have one, too!

I will sacrifice myself for my undying blood knight tendencies the good of the team, and we will have a duel for the ages.
