Hehe, I have no idea how these conversations start, but they are pretty awesome.
[15:06] Kurt P.: Going grocery shopping.
[15:07] kingsgate460: sweet
[15:09] kingsgate460: I need to buy lunch meat
[15:09] kingsgate460: that’s what I need
[15:10] kingsgate460: along with a grope
[15:10] Kurt P.: grope?
[15:11] kingsgate460: that’s a grape combined with a rope
[15:11] kingsgate460: you can climb out of danger, and then
eat the rope in celebration
[15:11] Kurt P.: Oh.
Sounds ingenious.
[15:11] kingsgate460: it is
[15:12] kingsgate460: very useful if you are fat and need an
escape
[15:12] Kurt P.: I'm surprised that grapes can hold people.
[15:12] kingsgate460: they are engineered to be able to
withstand the weight of a human
[15:13] kingsgate460: yea for science
[15:13] Kurt P.: Hahaha.
[15:13] Kurt P.: So I can stand on a grape, and it won't get
squashed?
[15:14] kingsgate460: no, it would squash; it is just made
so it can take tensile pressure
[15:14] Kurt P.: How do you string grapes together?
[15:14] Kurt P.: They grow in clusters, I thought.
[15:15] kingsgate460: they do, but after they are
engineering, they are made to grow in a line
[15:17] Kurt P.: What connects them? Just the vine? Or is it some type of polyurethane string?
[15:18] kingsgate460: just the vine
[15:18] kingsgate460: the tricky part is that you have to,
through engineering, strengthen the point where the grape meets the vine to
ensure it holds the weight
[15:18] kingsgate460: it’s all in the genetics of the plant
[15:18] kingsgate460: change how the grape grows and
develops
[15:19] Kurt P.: Wow.
They can do crazy things with science.
[15:19] Kurt P.: Maybe, with my help of course, we can make
a walking talking grape.
[15:19] kingsgate460: that’s a pointless invention
[15:19] Kurt P.: That can do simple sorting algorithms for
people in Ethiopia.
[15:19] kingsgate460: the rope at least has usability
[15:20] kingsgate460: uses*
[15:21] Kurt P.: How many times have you thought to
yourself, "I wish I had a miniature grape that could walk and talk and
perform simple sorting algorithms for me."
[15:21] Kurt P.: I think that all the time.
[15:21] Kurt P.: It's practical and useful.
[15:22] kingsgate460: if it does advanced astro physics as
well, then we have a deal
[15:24] Kurt P.: I'll have to contact my off-shore team and
see what they can write-up, but I think we have a deal.
[15:25] kingsgate460: brilliant
