Yeah, but how many gamers have rogue levels?

No, I meant that gamers might be too big to fit in the smaller trapdoor. You know, like in Family Guy?

Never watched it.

worked for NASA

Well, you don't have to be a rocket scientist to work for...wait...bad analogy. Anyways, as I said before, it sounds a lot more impressive than it was. NASA wanted me to do some Legendre-function transform based mapping, specifically using the transforms for conversion from a quadcube format (big cube) to a Healpix format (weird polyhedron thingy closer to a sphere) for mapping Cosmic Microwave Background radiation to detect wavelength fluctuations that implied density fluctuations in the early universe. And come on, you know how much gamers like polyhedrons, right?

Infidel!

I suppose you watched all those Star Trek episodes instead?

I don't know anyone who wouldn't just smack me if I said something like this. Don't downplay it though; I'm considered rather smart and I've never headr the words 'quadcube' or 'healpix'. In fact, since we're typing, I still haven't heard them

Boy do I.

Google "Healpix" and "Quadcube Pixelization" (remember to spell it wrong, with a 'z') for more info

Edit: Oh, and Google them separately, they're two different things

I'm Canadian. It's spelled correctly with a z(pronounced "zed") for me;

I didn't expect to understand.

Oh, and from a link someone here on enworld provided, Here's a random fact about Vin Diesel:

God refuses to give Vin Diesel a soul until Vin Diesel gives back God's underwear.

How else would you pronounce it? Hopefully not 'ZEE'. 'ZEE' just sounds lame.

Yes, it does; and yes, I have headr it pronouced that way.

...

I've typed 'headr' instead of heard twice in two different posts, and it took three tries to get it right this time.
