I read everything Girlinhat says in Cave Johnson's voice.  Ever notice how we've never seen them both in the same room at the same time? 

I think this thread has a higher density of quoted material than any other on the forum.

I need to take a break because I just realized it's half past midnight and I need to wake up in five and a half hours.

That makes two of us.
Confound these dwarves.

I can make goblin bone bolts as long as the goblin isnīt "intact".

(Off-topic) 
Is that the trick?  Thank you.  I've had some goblin bone bolts in my fort that I had no idea where I found them, and I was about to start pointless and cruel experimentation to find out. 
Oh well, no sense stopping perfectly good !!scientific!! sadism just because I know the results.

I think around here you need to apologise for off-topicness. Threads get derailed daily.

‼‼‼‼ Hey, it works

You're welcome.

This explains everything!  All of those questions that I could never answer...  Why am I in this deep hole?  Why am I eating asbestos?  Why am I a man?  Why is it currently the 50's?!  It all makes sense!

Also, I tend to believe that Cave would be jealous of my ideas, such as the Turkeycage of Horrors.  And yes, we're on a first name basis, me 'n Cave.

Cave Johnson is 60's 

[Girlinhat]

True science, mad science, ended in the later 50's.

[Necro910]

True science, mad science, ended in the later 50's.

Yeah...

But then Aperture started in the 60's, which is the only exception. Lobotomies? HELL YEAH

ALL HAIL ‼SCIENCE‼

Ah, but see, you're forgetting that

Spoiler: Super minor Portal2 Spoiler that is only half-true (click to show/hide)

due to trace amounts of time travel involved in some of their testing, much of Aperture's research during the 60's actually occured in the 50's. 

EDIT: added spoilertag

Wait, if they researched time travel too, then what's the point of researching portals?

or are you making this up? I didn't finish the game 

[Girlinhat]

Paraphrased: This next experiment involves trace amounts of time travel.  If you see someone who looks like you, don't look them in the eye.  Seriously, the lab boys say it could destroy time.  Forever.  Forwards and back.  So if you see yourself running through the course, just let that handsome devil go on his way.

Right, but remember, which takes longer?  To design, model, and build a working portal gun, OR design, model, and build a time machine to transport you into the future when you've already built the portal gun and then take it back?  I don't want to be a part of spoiling any of the sweet, sweet, writing of Portal, so, as to that,

Spoiler: For reals, an actual spoiler about a game!  Kind of... (click to show/hide)

There are references to time travel in some tests, but we never see any first hand and it's not really a part of the story, more just used for some good lines.

Girlinhat, with spot-on quotes like that, you're only adding fuel magma to the you=Cave fire. ಠ_ಠ

I guess I shouldn't mention that at one point I attempted to make a foragable plant, that when picked would immediately burst into flame.  Indistinguishable from every other common herb, except, it caused intense melting upon being plucked (and caught the map on fire).
