I really liked Hypatia's Mistborn answer. I hope Brandon reads it.

She tweeted it at him, so I think chances he'll read it are fair.

Hypatia's tsunami answer BLEW MY MIND. She explained things so clearly and simply, yet in a completely intelligent way that even idiots like me -- who have very little science training -- could understand. It was remarkably well sourced, yet not over documented. I think this is the best answer that's been given by anybody in a very, very long time.

Not that there's a lot of competition.

I wasn't too impressed. I'm sure if I were a board writer and a helpful person and really smart and had studied fluid dynamics I could write an answer like that too.

C is for, are you saying Hypatia doesn't get a lot of complements on this board? Well, that needs to change! Here goes...

Hypatia, you're.... uh.... hot.

I can't tell if SMP is being jocular or not...if not, what the hell, man?

Marduk, you're...uh...hot...too?

Sorry, I was totally being jocular. The comment was really supposed to be praise.

My lame attempt at humor didn't work out. As newcomer, I guess I am not well-known enough here for people to get my humor. I often catch myself before I post patently unfunny jokes like that, but every now and then they slip through.

In my defense, I am short on sleep and have a lot on my mind.

So back off, I'm not the one on trial here.

In all seriousness, I thought H's answer was great, and I really appreciate her willingness to go out of her way to answer questions so expertly.

I'm definitely team Hypatia.

Yes, Hypatia, apologies all around for any percieved slight against you. By way of apology, I offer you dinner. Tomorrow. At my house.

Okay! I'll admit it! I usually think that everyone hates me! SMP, my appologies.

Marduk! Thank you so much for the personal invite but I'm afraid I'll be occupied with courtship rituals at the time in question.

No need to apologize. This is definitely not the first time my attempts at humor have offended people, and it probably won't be the last.

Actually, now that I think about it, I think I actually offended you once before, several years ago. I think you (jokingly?) said you wanted to cry. For the record, I was totally joking back then to.

I hope you don't find it creepy that I know who you are. We actually used to even be facebook friends. Don't worry, I'm not bitter that you removed me from your friends list.
