miniboxer Posted May 5, 2012 Posted May 5, 2012 Re: Notch has an..................interesting sense of humor This sounds suspiciously like a really shitty Creepypasta someone in the TF Wiki IRC linked me to a while ago. Actually it's the exact same fucking thing and neither ashes1ashes or ashes2ashes at any point existed in Minecraft or on Notch's Blog. You'd think people would be posting this shit all over the MCF like they did with Herobrine, but nope, it's just some story someone made up. Herobrine existed well before the Halloween update, where these OGG files supposedly came from. I think the first story about him came about in late August or early September 2010; all I remember is that it popped up shortly after I started playing Minecraft. they were never actually used ingame, and the creepypasta about them WAS total shit. They were just sort of.....there, and whoever did make them if it was a fake, went through a surprising amount of effort, and maybe I was just being stupid and uniformed with the herobrine thing originating from this, this may have been made as a joke from mojang referencing the herobrine stories. Considering some of the things Mojang has done before, such as the comment about the ghost entities and lord herobrine in one of the recent changelogs, and randomly putting herobrine in odd places.

Jay? Posted May 5, 2012 Posted May 5, 2012 I make this thing on occasion. It's really simple: Chunk of cheese> Wrap in hamburger meat> Wrap in bacon> Bake > slice and eat> heart attack.

Brunswick Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 Re: Notch has an..................interesting sense of humor dafuq is that? It's an ellipse, are you blind?
freakachu Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 Re: Notch has an..................interesting sense of humor It's an ellipse, are you blind? hey now, don't be so hyperbolic
Brunswick Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 Re: Notch has an..................interesting sense of humor hey now, don't be so hyperbolic I would if that post wasn't so obtuse.
freakachu Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 Re: Notch has an..................interesting sense of humor personally, I thought it was acute post.
TheGuy Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 Re: Notch has an..................interesting sense of humor Halloween = long time ago? Why post this now? Did you travel into the future to tell us the secret of broccoli?
jakj Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 Re: Notch has an..................interesting sense of humor the secret of broccoli? It gives you gas because it has soluble fiber, great for lowering LDL and controlling blood sugar. Not the secret you meant?
TheGuy Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 Re: Notch has an..................interesting sense of humor It gives you gas because it has soluble fiber, great for lowering LDL and controlling blood sugar. Not the secret you meant? Hahah, no! I always wanted to know how broccoli was grown! From alien trees or stealthy "normal" plants?
Jay? Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 Re: Notch has an..................interesting sense of humor personally, I thought it was acute post. If he has an acute post, he should go to the doctor and get it taken care of.
The_DarthMoogle Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 Re: Notch has an..................interesting sense of humor I just want to clear up that an ellipsis is a set of three dots used to trail off the end of a sentence, and an elipse is that fucking graph that derailed this whole thread.
Jay?

Almost correct. An elipsis is a symbol consisting of three dots, that is used to let the reader know that text has been intentionally omitted, but can also represent an unfinished thought. It's not necessarily at the end of a sentence, it's just wherever information is unfinished or omitted.

An elipsis is a symbol consisting of three dots, that is used to let the reader know that text has been intentionally omitted. Ah, no. Common Not-so-common misconception. That's called an aposiopesis.
Pilchard123 Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 Re: Notch has an..................interesting sense of humor Ah, no. Common Not-so-common misconception. That's called an aposiopesis. That's the wrong way around according to *shudder* Wikipedia: Aposiopesis is where the end of a sentence is left to the reader or hearer's imagination, ellipsis is where text has been omitted from a sentence or a pause is needed.
Jay? Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 Re: Notch has an..................interesting sense of humor Ah, no. Common Not-so-common misconception. That's called an aposiopesis. That's something different, albeit slightly. the aposiopesis is used when there isn't necessarily text that was omitted, but rather was intentionally not completed. The Elipsis is for text that was already defined, but not expressed. (in professional writing, anyways) For instance: "If one more person suggests BTW for the technic pack, why I'll-" Is an aposiopesis. The actual text doesn't exist, just the impression is given. "...And the square root of the coefficient as defined by the axial subjunctive denominator must be factored to the third power of..." indicates elipses, where it is implied that the actual text exists, but is either unimportant or unintelligible. (or sometimes in cases or journalism, protected information) Also, intellectual talk all up in here.

Because that was supposed to be awful fake jargon. I don't math. The English is accurate though.

I just kind of glossed mentally over the math bullshit. As I've said before; I'm an English major, you do the math.
Pilchard123 Posted May 7, 2012 Posted May 7, 2012 Re: Notch has an..................interesting sense of humor I was indeed talking about your "obviously-fake-star-trek-math jargon". It's still mildly painful.
