Pie Day

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

Pie Day

Unread post by billy.pilgrim »

My grandmother made this one at our many requests.

I tried a chocolate chess pie in NC, but it just wasn't the same.



Chess Pie

1 ¾ Cup sugar
½ Cup butter
3 eggs
1 ½ Tablespoons cornmeal
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 teaspoon vinegar
1 teaspoon almond flavoring

Cream together sugar and butter
Add eggs – do not over beat
Add other ingredients
Put in unbaked pastry and bake at 400 degrees for 8 minutes. Open oven to reduce heat to 325 degrees and continue to bake at 325 for 25 minutes or until done – usually more like 35 - 40 minutes

Galileo Galilei, 15 February 1564 – 8 January 1642
Karl Marx, 5 May 1818 – 14 March 1883
Albert Einstein, 14 March 1879 – 18 April 1955
Stephen Hawking, 8 January 1942 – 14 March 2018
Pi day, 14 March
Stephen Hawking was born on the 300th anniversary of the death of Galileo
Einstein and Hawking died at age 76, Galileo at age 77
Quantum entanglement?
Stephen Hawking is Albert Einstein

My theory is that Stephen Hawking did not die, but rather found the solution to time travel that allowed him to transport his consciousness through time and space into another mind, which would be Albert Einstein. This observation began with the knowledge of the coincidence of their death and birth respectively. However, the reinforcement to this that I had just recently remembered was that of one of the last research papers published by Stephen Hawking, where he discusses how humans have the potential to discover and test the idea of parallel dimensions and time travel. Having been published just four days before his death, this may have been his way of leaving us a final goodbye before he tested whatever conclusion he may have come to following the publication of said research.

This brings me to the 'rabbit-hole' portion of my theory.
We weren't there already?
... Once he had traveled through time he created a 'second universe', one where he had transferred his consciousness to a baby being born on the same date he had left universe, as that may have just been a constraint of a law of time itself. From this, Hawking lived his life to continue his research as Albert Einstein, the great mind of the 19th-20th century. He further developed his ideas and formed a better understanding of the universe than he previously knew, which gave more information for the Stephen Hawking of his universe to work with, this being reinforced with how Stephen Hawking had typically worked off of and tried to 'continue' Albert Einstein's findings and studies.

Now, as would be the rule of time travel that we've encountered many times, the same consciousness would not be able to live in the same universe at the same time. It would be breaking a natural law, resulting in the tearing of the fabric of space-time itself, which is where the fatal aneurysm and ALS originate. Their bodies and consciousnesses existing in the same universe at the same time were trying to cope with each other's duality, as if one consciousness was subject to quantum superposition, or the occurrence when the same particle exists in two different places at the same time. The development of these life threatening illnesses could have been a side effect of the stress put on their two existing forms to want to only exist in one location at the same time. Albert Einstein developed an aneurysm only 6 years after Stephen Hawking had been alive, and Hawking (possibly due to being more of a 'correct figure' in his universe) developed ALS only 15 years later. Both of their bodies endured fatal and incurable illnesses from being separated from each other....

So far this is the most conclusive evidence I've found.
What evidence?

Since you want to change the subject away from "pie"


"The most important thing I learned on Tralfamadore was that when a person dies he only appears to die. He is still very much alive in the past, so it is very silly for people to cry at his funeral. All moments, past, present and future, always have existed, always will exist. The Tralfamadorians can look at all the different moments just that way we can look at a stretch of the Rocky Mountains, for instance. They can see how permanent all the moments are, and they can look at any moment that interests them. It is just an illusion we have here on Earth that one moment follows another one, like beads on a string, and that once a moment is gone it is gone forever.
When a Tralfamadorian sees a corpse, all he thinks is that the dead person is in a bad condition in that particular moment, but that the same person is just fine in plenty of other moments. Now, when I myself hear that somebody is dead, I simply shrug and say what the Tralfamadorians say about dead people, which is "so it goes."

Sorry. I used to make strawberry-rhubarb cream pies for my neighbors when I was growing pot outdoors. They never mentioned the garden nor called the cops.

So it goes.

I like apple pie and pumpkin pie, both with whipped cream on top. I can take or leave other pies as well as pi......who the hell needs an illogical number like that?

:D Instead of "45", history should label POSPOTUS' presidency* with an irrational number.

Shit, at first I thought it said "his latest pie" but I guess that's just because the lies are so common and eerily normal. Rather have pie
