(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
