# A poem
----------
Ambassador Kosh,
You're not very posh.
You talk utter tosh
and you shrank in the wash.

-5 points to you!

Haha, only jesting! Have a jaffa cake...

*offers*

I sucked it out with a tiny straw. A tiny tiny straw, no more than seven nanometers in diameter.

# They're awesome
I found one in my room the other night. It had sneaked in through the window while I was asleep and it was all
like "Hey man! I'm like, the future and shit like that. Heyyy. Fancy a game of Burnout 2 on the
PS2 man? It's just... It's.. well, I've been at this party, like. An' I'm all bummed out. Drained.
haha. Duude. It totally rocked". I asked the nanotube what the hell it was talking about.
"Man? Hey, man, why so harsh? Chill dude, I was just, y'know. Just making the talk. Talk the
walk, y'know. Haha. I think I fucked that up. Walk the talk? Shiit. I'm so fried. Can I crash on your couch"
I let the hippy slacker snooze on my sofa and kicked him out in the morning. It had been an
enlightening experience.

I love you and want your babies.

I hope this is Ok.

Be careful with them though, they're made of glass and may also explode on
impact with a solid surface

you to the Moon, or the Sun? Or British Home Stores down the High Street?

# to space
via geosynchronous satellites.

I know much on this subject.
(I helped save b3ta! Mr.Ons knows you can hear him, Earthmen., Wed 19 Oct 2005, 1:31, archived)
# Yeah?
What's the point of that? Can you buy home furnishings and stylish, yet affordable kitchen utensils on a geosynchronous satellite? Can you? Can you, eh?

Hmmf, thought not.

*goes to BHS*

BHS will dwell amongst the stars, because BHS stands for "Buying Homewares in Space"

First the moon, then the stars! What kind of universe is this where you can't buy cutlery and
mock-silverware whilst in orbit around Alpha Centauri?

# we will seed the universe with BHS
so that they may act as ambassadors for the human race.

# I may well do
But I fear my doodlage would not do this epic endeavour justice. I'm imagining a linked chain
of BHS stores, billions of them, forming a super-conducting ring a million light-years in diameter, orbiting a super-dense singularity somewhere on
the outer rim of the galaxy, populated by strange, alien beings queuing up to purchase Delia Smith's new Spring Cookbook, or simply buy some new bedding because the old stuff is just a bit "musty"

# if you knew much about this subject then you wouldnt say that
geosyncronous are for things like sky and mobile phone satellite networks, nanotubes, normally carbon are mainly being used for new processor reasearch where they are moved using lasers deflected thru a LCD screen using some effect that keeps them in the beam of light, like a tractor beam off startrek

also knows abit about nanotubes.
edit: knows less about spelling however

# Can they be used
to build better, bigger, stronger BHS stores that can hold more and more quality
furnishings and clothing at low, low prices?
(I helped save b3ta! The Neville What what what, Wed 19 Oct 2005, 1:38, archived)
# YES.
(I helped save b3ta! gone, Wed 19 Oct 2005, 1:40, archived)
# why yes
but as most of the useful nanotubes made of carbon are of a hexagonal cross section of 6 atoms, it would take a hell of a lot to make a pencil, let alone a whole BHS store, but given time, and a load of nanotubes im sure we could come to some arrangement
(I helped save b3ta! palmr The speaking clock says:, Wed 19 Oct 2005, 1:40, archived)
# Well, it better be done
I'm expecting a fleet of BHS stores to be in orbit around this planet by next Autum at the
earliest, for the introduction of the stylish and fashionable Winter Clothing Range

# if i were you
i would get my angy keyboard out (the one you use to hit keys hard with when you get angry) and type a "stern" letter to BHS with your spatial store demands on.

# No gravity in space
so you could store stuff all over. no need for floors!

# they need very very lightweight
but very strong "ropes" basically...

carbon based molecules, like nanotubes, are good for this.

# its not weight or strain
its the speed of movement and the conductivity of them that is the key, as you could make a whole new circuit every pico second if you wanted

# I feel the personification of doubt was a particularly effective
way of portraying the difficulty of the choices the protagonist faced albeit not entirely easy to follow from time to time. The interesting use of neologisms gives it a really classical feel too which compliments the somewhat rough grammar nicely.

# That reminds me of a song I once wrote, while in character during a roleplay game.
There was this sci-fi politician called Councillor Sten, and I had to perform a song for his birthday party. It went like this:

Sten, Sten, Councillor Sten,
Alpha C's bee's knees politic-i-en.
He's a sinister milit'ry minister and hard to debunk,
but when he's in pyjamas he's a monkey.
