Wow. That's eerie. Though I have done similar things in my sleep... I usually figure out that I'd done it in my sleep. You might have to experiment with yourself because clearly something wacky is going on. Are you on any substances? =D

Might you consider a psychiatrist if this continues?

Watching too much "Heroes"?

I am not on substances, nor am I watching Heroes. I've like... never seen it.

Maybe I'm sleeping. I dreamed that I wrote it and I didn't. But... that just doesn't make sense to me, it's not good enough. I'm not making PHP moves in my sleep, and yet something's surely going wrong here too.

Post on the developer forum for your precalc class - mabey there's an error in the code.

;-)

By the way - what exactly is precalc - Calc is essentially 2 things: derivatives and integrals. You're either doing them or your not, so what are you learning that they are calling "pre" calc?

Uhm...

precalc...

Well, at the moment what I'm doing is trigonometric identities. I'm one year away from proper calculus, and this is sort of Saxon's gapfiller for the year of geometry they don't do separately, I believe.

oh I see - so your learning all the things that you'll be taking derivatives of then. That makes sense. Gotta know about Sin and Cos before you start calculusing all over them.

Probably learning limits, exponent rules, Sums and Series and the like too.

I took precalc, and you hit that right on the nose...

As to your missing moments, I've had dreams about games on this site before... I wouldn't rule it out. Either that, or you have a split-personality that hates you.

I think it's the second one, that would explain EVERYTHING.

Seriously, it's so weird, I don't know how I'm going to sleep tonight wondering if the various states of objects outside my room will stay the same...

Inside as well, you never know when "Larry" will rear his ugly head.

"............................nor am I watching Heroes. I've like... never seen it."

perhaps this is your PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!! HEROES is the obvious cure to any, and every problem..............I think that it might be a good idea for you to go out and buy all of season one, it will not only help, it completely CURE you!

If I watched Heroes...

...I just don't know.

Onar: D= !!!!!

Aliens?
Spontaneous combustion?
The world is in your imagination?
Some combination of the above?

If it bothers you too much, you could always set up a camera in your room.

Have you considered the possibility that you simply mislaid the sheet of paper that you worked the problem on? (Or that a roommate or friend is messing with you). Often I find it's something like me getting up to change a CD or something and setting the paper down in some odd spot like a shelf and forgetting instantly that I did that. I find it hours or days later... and only then vaguely remember doing it.

I had a dream once about a physics problem, something about the electric field at some point P with perpendicular concentric rings expanding out into infinity each with equal space between them, and each ring containing (3/2)n charges than the ring preceding it, anyway, that's not important. the important thing is that in my dream i thought of a pretty clever way to evaluate the problem (which i had never seen before), and the very next morning, the same damn problem was on my physics final. I asked the professor if he had shown the problem before or there was anyway i could have seen it before the test, and he said that he had never given it on a test before and took it from a different text than we were using.... i was completely creeped out... and pleased... but mostly creeped

Premonition?

Or premonAWESOME?

I'm gonna have to go with premonAWESOME.

And Dexter, the problem was on a sheet with a lot of other problems, I know it was. It disappeared off of the ANSWER SHEET, not a sheet for itself.

Which is what's so darned trippy, it's like someone erased it...

The world is also probably in my imagination, and if that's the truth, then I'm gonna have some fun with it.

No matter what happens though, remember that you cannot fly.

Unless you jump and miss the ground, you mean?

Just think happy thoughts...?

Ah, I've had similar things happen.

Once a friend of mine started telling me a story of how her friend bit into a KitKat, and I finished the story for her going, "Yeah and she found a maggot in her KitKat and now she gets free KitKat bars. You already told me this story." But she was like, "No... this happened just four days ago and she only found out she'd be getting free KitKats yesterday..." It turns out that she hadn't talked to me between four days ago and that day and I hadn't talked to her since the weekend before last. It was creepy... but in all likelihood she HAD to have told me... I just can't remember when and we can't figure out how I could have possibly heard about it...

Also once a friend came down into my basement and said, "Hey, you know what I never knew was a word until now?" and suddenly it popped into my head and without skipping a beat I said, "Bicurious?" Her jaw just sort of dropped and she said, "Yeah... How did you know?!" I had no idea how I knew either... it was just an out of the blue guess...

That happens to me alot aswell. mainly when I've spent alot of time with a person. but it is also limited to sertain people. one time I was at an airport with someone, we were transferring flights, and we got to this place where you could take a little shopping cart and put all your luggage on (if you had multiple bags, which I didn't). so he grabbed one and I thought in my mind "oh, ok, I don't need to grab one cause if I really need one I can just use his". and then like less then a minute later he says to me "don't think that I'm going to let you use my cart". and there's been 2 or 3 other times where that type of thing has happened with us. it's really wierd....................

The matrix is just resetting itself after a reconfiguration. There's nothing to worry about...

oh good.........that makes me feel alot better!

So Chrispminis a friend walks into your basement and sees you and thinks "Bicurious" and your in your basement alone before she arrives and when she asks you about a word the first word that springs to mind is "Bicurious" Nope, this one got me beat!

Did it have something to do with the gay pr0n on your computer but the naked chick posters on the wall?

Bicurious is a word...?

Let's see, do I have any weird ones...

I have approximately 100% consistently predicted which guys are going to be assholes to girls I know when they get together, but I never say anything because I dismiss it as "nonsense." It doesn't work for girls to guys, though. That isn't that amazing...

Oh, yesterday I dodged a puck flying at my head - as in ducking - before I turned and saw it. That was awesome. Props ensued. XD

I know there are more, I'll post them later if I think of them.

Hm, I'm too normal for all that. Either that, or all my creative energies are channeled elsewhere.

Haha no actually the coincidence was that I had just watched the South Park episode where Butters gets sent to the gay-curing camp and bicurious shows up in that episode a lot. And my friend had just heard her Dad say it. The gay pr0n and naked chick posters were just a coincidence.

It could be the sleeping thing... I have had some pretty weird mind slips like that. Take for instance having thought I read a whole book, even remembering pages of it, when I knew I had never read it before... the book was new and I never owned a different copy. I actually remembered specific sentences though. Explain THAT.

The best I could come up with at the time was that I had read bits of it as a kid from the library or something and had just forgot... but the book was Slaughterhouse-Five... so that's just unlikely. But since it is that book... it's kind of ironic, like I got unstuck in time or somesuch nonsense lol.

I think there are gremlins in my house, guys.

That's the only possible explanation.

Random: I have started to notice the number 22 appears in my life with absurd frequency.

Panda, I get the same thing. If I had dangermouse's user ID I might go insane. My room number is 222, I always happen to look at the clock at 2:22 and I've a couple of ticket barcodes end in 222. Obviously I know this is just confirmation bias because I never notice when I see other numbers or when I look at the clock at a random time, like now...

The only number I will ever accept as appearing altogether too often is 42. Oh, or 3045, since on a calculator upsidedown that's "shoe". I might be worried if I get 1134.

what about 1337?

773440 is one of my favorites. If that ever appeared on my pager in the late 80s or early 90s, I knew a fileserver had just gone belly up.

11 is everywhere for me. It has become my favorite number.

I kind of like 23, 42, and 59.

1337 works too.

42 trumps everything, though.

69 Dudes!

OH GOSH NO

OK, 36, 24 and 36 again...

33 ;)


for those people who know just whos number it is

also 11.

my favorite is 777 if you guys didn't already know..................

Chris: I didn't say it shows up a lot, I said I NOTICE it a lot. :P
