Dr. Dis,

1. Why do people ask you pointless questions?
2. Please explain the point of quantum physics? (The point C on graph 3.9)
3. Why are all of these "irrelevant" processes running on XP?
4. What is the extent of a SAN covering three different environments?
5. What does the acronym PSI stand for?
6. Why do people refer to tyre pressure as "Bar"?

1. Like that one? Also, it's explained above, look for the alchohol reference.
2. 'point C' is a small dot on the graph. Not much else to explain about it.
3. Because someone decided they aren't irrelevant.
4. The extent of SAN covering three environments is three environments.
5. Pounds per Square Inch.
6. They refer to it as "Bar" so when they notice the tires getting low, they have an excuse concerning a bar to give to the wife when they go to fix the tire pressure. "Just heading out to the bar to fix the tire ... "

Dr Dis,
Have I run out of questions?

[BillGeek]

Dr Dis,

So basically, if I'm not married, that means I don't have to pump my tyres 12 bar?
Is 12 bar too much??? I noticed a bit of a bumpy ride, but I doubt it should have a difference?

Why does he spell tires with a "y" ?

[abhijit]

Its spelled Tyre in some parts of the world.

No, 12 bar isn't too much. Hit the bars to find a girl.

Dr Dis,
If they remade the Six Million Dollar Man (1973) now
a) What would the cost be for the full suite in inflation adjusted dollars?
b) What would they get for Six Million Dollars
c) what would be the amount in the World's most stable currency of Tri-Ocular Rana?
d) Who would be your choice to play Steve Austin?

Dis Dear Doc,

I have a question.

Dr dis??

[timeshifter]

Dr Dis,

Why?

[Torc]

Dr Dis,

Where did you get your doctorate, and what is it in?

[abhijit]

Dr Dis,
Is there any degree available for bull-****ting? Where can I get one?

d) Who would be your choice to play Steve Austin?

a) Adjusted purely for inflation, it would be a lot. But one must take into account other market changes. It would come out roughly one million higher.
b) 600,000,000 pennies
c) To quote Nixon: "I don't give a $#!| about the Lira". Granted, you're not talking about the Italian Lira, but still, same answer.
d) Myself, as I am tall, dark, and handsome. At least when I want to be.

Dis Dear Doc,

I have a question.

I have a nose.

[Disiance]

Dr dis??

I felt that question was self-answering.

[Disiance]

Dr Dis,

Why?

42, except that doesn't work. Because sheep can't fly.

[Disiance]

Dr Dis,

My doctorate came from my homeschooling. We got practice printing 'fake' school IDs that I would kept losing (people look at you funny when you present a school ID for a homeschool). So I knew how to draw up a doctorate certificate and print it out. It is in a pine/oak cabinet drawer.

[Disiance]

Dr Dis,

See my previous answer. It's pretty much the same thing.

Because they wanted to start a trend and let you break it.

Dr Dis,

No, I am quite dead. However, since I am communicating with you, that means you are dead too.

Dr. Dis,

What was Colorado's worst natural disaster?

[Disiance]

Dr. Dis,

What was Colorado's worst natural disaster?

Our stupid rivers. Big Thompson flood was awful (my mom almost died in it). When the North Platte flooded a lot of downtown Denver was under water, that one was funny.

Pick a flood.

[timeshifter]

Floods are dangerous. In my hometown back in Iowa, we have a bridge that was built for train traffic... In '99, a rather large flood actually moved that bridge a bit... not to mention, covered the main traffic bridge... it basically separated the town in two parts.

[TheBigB]

You Americans have a lot to learn from the Dutch Dikes and Dunes

[nemaroller]

Somehow I don't think a dutch dike would stop a 19-foot (5.8 meter) high wall of water.

[Disiance]

Perhaps a Dutch Dyke would though.

[TheBigB]

Maybe it actually would.
If you didn't know, more than half of the netherlands is below sea-level; mainly the parts near the coast.

[nemaroller]

Is that your official answer?

[Disiance]

Is that your official answer?

No it isn't, because technically there was no question to answer.

[nemaroller]

Would a Dutch Dike be structurally compromised if a 19 ft swell in water level were to contact it?

[Disiance]

Would a Dutch Dike be structurally compromised if a 19 ft swell in water level were to contact it?

That definitely depends on what force the said wave hits the dike with.

[timeshifter]

Dr Dis,

What happens when an unstoppable force meets with an immovable object?
