Can't you han't?

Just call me the candle handler.

Do you handle other people's candles?

I'll skip the preamble. I only handle candles that belong to mandle-wearing-sandle-hating members of the Randell or Crandell scandal. Now go scramble into those brambles you vandal! It's time for some Campbells before I put on some George Frideric Handel.

I don't think I can hold a candle to that post.

Can someone explain to me why Jeopardy is a thing ? Theoretically the concept of finding a question through its answer is interesting, but it turns out to be just a normal quizz show with random phrasing that ends up having questions that make no sense, I just don't get it.

I think maybe when it first started, quiz shows were more common and the answer/question reversal was Jeopardy's hook. But I don't think it's really any part of the show's current appeal. Really it's just the occasional gotcha when people forget to say, "What is…"

Or, "Who is Dankey Kang?"

*buzzes in*

Whom is Dankey Kang?

[Kirian]

I briefly remember an episode from my childhood when one of the contestants responded with "How about X?" and Trebek asked the judges for a ruling... and sure enough, it was enough of a "question."

But yeah, given the lack of quiz shows (or even game shows) now, it's a dumb gimmick.

WHO is Dankey Kang

What I heard was that, at the time Jeopardy first came around, there were other trivia quiz shows that had been involved in scams by giving answers to certain contestants they wanted to win (because those contestants were more popular and would increase show ratings if they continued to reappear on the show).  Jeopardy thought they were eliminating the potential for that kind of cheating by giving everyone the answers, and the contestants would have to figure out the questions instead.  Obviously that doesn't solve anything in practice, but I guess it caught on.

There are at least three separate standards for inserting mathematical equations into documents.  As far as I can tell, only one of them (MS) is proprietary.  Why the fuck did the people who created OOo not just use LaTeX?

Probably a LaTeX allergy.

I was trying to think of some non-standard Jeopardy questions

A: Because of atmospheric Rayleigh scattering of higher frequency photons.

Q: Why is the sky blue?

A: From a mother's uterus, after a nine month process of fertilization and pregnancy.

Q: Where do babies come from?

A: It depends on the philosophical context; physically, it measurably does, but in some interpretations subjective consciousness is the only true basis for reality.

Q: If a tree falls in a forest and nobody is there to hear, does it still make a sound?

A: Blowin' in the wind.

Q: (numerous acceptable)

I should have seen that coming.

However, I've now used far too much energy on trying to write equations in a program I don't normally use so that I can include equations in a document in a format I do normally use, so that the whole thing is readable in a third format that I don't normally use.

Did I say "equations?"  I meant "equation."

What is OOo? It has a very difficult-to-google name (which is probably a mistake for anything that wants any kind of branding)

OpenOffice.org, which I suppose is now AOO (Apache OpenOffice) instead.

And presumably the whole thing is procedurally generated.  That is fantastic, amusing, and pointless, wrapped in a mystery, covered in chocolate and deep-fried.

I like the opening of the source:

Code: [Select]

//This is the source-code. Use it wisely. (Better not use it without my permission though.)
//
//I made this when I was bored at work around 2011; I've been progressively adding stuff to it since.
//I am by no means a professional programmer (I do pixel-art and game-design), so please don't judge my code too harshly!
//
//Wikipedia was used extensively for this project. I am now aware of the composition of everything. *Everything*.
//
//(oh yeah, don't read all the code right now, it kind of ruins the surprise of finding things!)
