03/08/09 [CVRPG #966] - Two points do indeed make a line...

[Mao]

Hey, he's right.  Though it might be harder to hold than they think..

[Pagan]

Wouldn't that only be a line segment? Or ... Something? I forget my geometry.

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

And I'm sure the kid doesn't know what D is talking about. Honest.

[Jairus]

Are they holding hands and spinning in a circle while they kill everything? At this point, D's just shouting random stuff, isn't he?

"Don't fire until you see the whites of their eyes!"
"Their eyes are blue!"
"Then don't fire until you see the blues of their eyes!"
"And I can't cast fire magic!"
"... then learn!"

Sorry, bad joke.

The spinning actually kind of reminds me of something I heard on the commentary for Joss Whedon's Serenity, of how the greatest combat style in the world is simply swinging sharp things around you until everything stops moving.

Wouldn't that only be a line segment? Or ... Something? I forget my geometry.

Um... yes and no. You can define a line segment with two points, but two points is all you need to define a line's path. Like (-2,7) and (1, -9). Or something like that. Okay, I don't know. I suck.

[Drase]

Well actually you're right Jairus.  The line between two points is just a line segment, but with those two points you can make a line, which goes on forever.  Though i think they'll be holding the line segment, which is just called a line unless you're in geometry or something and the teacher makes you say 'line segment'
