Well? Anyone?

 

[spawn]

You cant even spell you dickhead!

 

[spawn]

Im sorry, but that deserves another insult. You are a f**king fool Spawn.

But what IS a Phlogiston?

 

[Spiff]

A hypothetical substance formerly thought to be a volatile constituent of all combustible substances, released as flame in combustion.

Just a guess.

Is there an echo in here??

 

[spawn]

Dammit, you beat me to it Spiffy, thanks Spiffy

 

[phlogiston]

here, here, here, here??

 

[phlogiston]

Aww, damnit!

 

[spawn]

The mountains getting closer........

 

[spawn]

This thread sucks so bad. Im sorry

 

[Spiff]

You may as well do something with the thread then, before it's run its course. Who knows, this could go on to become one of the greatest threads in the history of Maiden Downunder!

So get cracking!

 

[phlogiston]

No, I think Spawn's right. This thread should die. It got messed up early.

 

[spawn]

I really like Catwoman, im thinking of asking her out if the woman on the bus thing goes nowhere, opinions?

 

[spawn]

Oh. Nevermind! Nothing to see here, move along, move along, these are not the droids you are looking for, you can go about your business!

 

[Spiff]

What made you come up with Phlogiston for a nick anyway, Phloggy? Please enthrall us with the details!

 

[Mark]

So is a 'phlogiston' just a fart that's been lit, then?

 

[phlogiston]

Actually, it's quite and interesting story.

I was reading a book about Chaos Theory, and it was used as an example of a theory that was widely accepted at the time, but has since been disproven. I liked the word, and when it came to choosing an online name, that's the word that popped into my head.

As it turns out, that story is not very interesting at all. But the name does make people ask questions, and they learn something at the same time.

 

[phlogiston]

Mark: no, the theory was that phlogiston was present in the fart, and when it was lit then the phlogiston was released as flame.
