(This little piggy)(9.93)(10^27)
Jason: Okay, tangent
Jason: apparently my D&D DM can't stand the word "shrimping" and the meaning thereof
Jason: which didn't stop us from turning "shrimp" into a Pee-wee's Playhouse style secret word, or from bringing it into conversation during the game last night
Heidi: wtf is shrimping
Jason: sucking on somebody's toes
Heidi: OMG OMG OMG
Heidi: that has a NAME?
Jason: uh
Jason: we are living in the era of naming everything
Heidi: wow, you maybe have ruined the act for me with that name
Heidi: be careful what you teach me obiwan!
Jason: so Scott, another player, just gave a one-word response to the list: "Shrimping"
Jason: to which I'm replying:
Jason: "Hellashrimping: That's 10^27 shrimpings."
Heidi: wow
Heidi: the sick thing is
Heidi: I am now wondering how many toes there are in the world
Heidi: or for all time
Heidi: and if that's even possible
Jason: Well
Jason: ...
Jason: wait, I don't have an appropriate response to that
Heidi: I realize it's just X*10
Heidi: which X = everyone ever
Jason: more like X*9.3, or whatever the average is
Heidi: WTF
Jason: well
Heidi: 9.3?
Jason: missing toes, extra toes
Heidi: EXTRA TOES
Heidi: WHERE ARE YOU SHRIMPING
Jason: I'm guessing it trends more towards missing
Heidi: no way it's 9.3
Jason: 9.93 then
Jason: I don't know
Heidi: I mean, I'll give you a decimal place
Heidi: I am *happy* you don't have that statistic
Heidi: because if you did I would be, um, a little weirder out. or maybe just impressed
Jason: What's giving me pause is that someone, somewhere, has this info
Heidi: you know, this conversation has unintentionally spawned way too much thought for my tastes this late in the day
