I seriously doubt you ever heard of triplet states before. Otherwise, you must have read about it. You don't even know what a paradox is.

lame

With your new found skills, read some E. B. White, take an asprin, and send email to /dev/null in the morning.

PS: This is as funny as Alanis's Ironic song that had no understanding of the word.

When you play clarinet the bulk of the instrument's weight is supported by the right thumb and surrounding muscles.

What I learned is that it's a bad idea for me to play a 2 1/2 hour rehearsal and then come home and play Tetris. Owwwwwwwwwww my thumb!

triplet states? isnt that more of a bio chem thing?

i know what a paradox is, for example: in maths a set A is in A iff A is not in A. (i can sound smart too)

another more topical paradox would be how you became "Dr." RS.

Look at me!! Im Dr RS! everyone else is LAME!

if you have some opinion then explain it rather than trying to make yourself sound smarter by quoting some term that sounds technical followed by some guy that wrote childrens stories in an attempt to make me look stupid.

Erm...there's a bit more to White than <cite>Charlotte's Web</cite>. <cite>The Elements of Style</cite>, for example.

Not that I'm attempting to make you look stupid.

I suspect that by "triplet states" perhaps was meant ternary logic

[Kagen4o4]

today i learnt about ternary logic

[xoxoxoBruce]

No, yes & damifino.

It's not widely known that ternary logic actually has its roots in the expression "Killing two birds with one stone".

The birds in question were in fact arctic terns (<cite>Sterna paradisaea</cite>), and, like virtual particles, are always found in pairs, mostly because one good tern deserves another. Having a stone left over with both birds already dispatched left an extra stone that could be used for parity-based error correction, or other expressions of doubt, such as theatrical criticism ("Let he who is without sin stone the cast first"). The thoroughness represented by this redundancy yielded another catchphrase: "Leaving no tern unstoned".

I learned that when fencing foil a straight lunge at the right time can be a devastating attack, especially when performed by an 11 year old girl on the fragile ego of a 12 year old boy. Yes, I am proud of my kid.

Lesson two from the Maestro. Intellectualize what is working for you. What exactly was it you did? Why did it work? Under what conditions will it work again. Gut instincts are cool but to get to the next level you've got to act consciously. It seems to me that is a life lesson more than a fencing lesson.

You are the one who called everyone else here lame. I just called you lame.

The "trplet states" merely refers to the glow-in-the-dark discussion. I just seriously doubt this thread can teach any one of us nothing.

If you read a few posts back on this thread, you will see that some thought there was radioactive material in glow-in-the-dark products.

Instead of shooting from the hip, I looked up phosphorescence in Wikipedia. There I learned of triplet states and how it leads to photon energy storage. I posted a quote and a link.

i think by the whole "today i leant how to read" part, that the rest of what i said was also a joke, not a funny hahah joke but a light hearted comment anyway. not to be taken seriously and continued into a discussion about how much can be learnt from this thread.

[elSicomoro]

Today, I learned that I still enjoy delivering pizzas.
