I learned that the guy behind Butterfly Labs (ASICs people) has some very shady history.

This calls for an investigation.



I think that number 42 tattooed on his arm is significant, for I've seen it mentioned on this forum many a times.

And I can't believe I found this:

{I} once portrayed the Real Slim Shady in a high school glee club production of 8 Mile.

Note that (8 X 6) - 6 = 42.

This is too epic to ignore!

42 also seems to be the meaning of life, coincidence? I think not!

Human hair is used to keep cookie dough soft while in ice cream, not because its needed but because its cheaper than using artificial gelatin. YUMMY!

Wait. Does that mean im eating human hair everytime i eat cookie dough ice cream? which is a lot? How??

[jasinlee]

Hair is turned into gelatin, *Ace Ventura voice* YUMMEY!

[organofcorti]

It's not really human hair then, is it? I also find it difficult to believe that there would be sufficient quantities of human hair available when horse bones are more widely available and were traditionally used for gelatin back when I used to have a mohawk.

[jasinlee]

Googles your friend look it up.

[organofcorti]

I googled. There are no very reputable sources and they all seem to quote one another. No wikipedia quality links (on the first two pages at least).

When I visited the Mayfield dairy production center last week in Tennessee the lady doing the tour was shocked that I was aware of it, I figured that was confirmation enough.

The number tattooed is 12, for D12 his rap group.

You're new here, aren't you? When Phinn says it's 42, it's 42.

I returned from vacation after having my mining rigs off for two weeks and looked up my electric use. My kids stayed home and just the wife and I were gone. I learned that mining Bitcoins is far more expensive in electric cost than I thought it was and I owe an apology to my kids.

Solution: Have kids power your rigs via giant hamster wheel powered generator. You get to mine and the kids get exercise, its a win-win!!

When one first signs up on this forum, a default time zone is used. Can anybody tell me if this is accurate? Otherwise this guy is in Europe or the middle of the Atlantic Ocean: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=67253
