      Dugg down because it's ADAM that does that voice.

      (No, I didn't really XD)
    • kingfoot, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1they have both said it, i know it was Adam who originally said it, but it sounds better when Jamie says it (in my mind at least).
  • TehSwat, on 10/11/2007, -4/+144I think the owner divided by zero.
    • LordStryker, on 10/11/2007, -5/+67Not only did he divide by zero, he multiplied it by the square root of a negative
    • HunterTV, on 10/11/2007, -17/+1http://www.undefined.net/1/0/
    • ryodoan, on 10/11/2007, -21/+9well, the square root of a negative is the imaginary number, i. So that part is actually theoretically possible at least.
    • TenebrousX, on 10/11/2007, -3/+8key word: imaginary. As in not in the real world.
    • speaker219, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7Why won't you answer me google? whyyyy?

    • DforSpiD, on 10/11/2007, -2/+2ryodoan
      I prefer the term "Pretend Number"
      Just like RAM is "Pretend Memory"
      /sarcasm... sort of
    • shinynew, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1@DforSpiD

      what?
      RAM stands for Random access memory, it has nothing to do with either imaginary nor "pretend" numbers.
      Also imaginary is the correct term for it, thats why its called i.

      @OP
      that joke is stolen from 4c**n

  • supermanred, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Sorry guys, that was me. I overloaded my sonic device causing a temporary spacetime rift vortex. Once it was all said and done, it solidified quite nice and the owner of the house refused any payment for damages and kept it the way it was.

      Inversion
      A House installation by Dan Havel & Dean RuckInversion


      "The Implosion" Text by Arthur Wortmann, courtesy Mark Magazine,Issue #2, Spring 2006
      "In the summer of 2005, an extraordinary structure on Montrose Boulevard in Houston took motorists by surprise. A wooden building had obviously been struck by a passing tornado. Sucked by a raging force from the back of the building, the boards of the facade frantically twisted into what looked like a horizontal chimney that had ripped a hole through a second wooden building sanding several metres behind the first. Passers-by were inescapably drawn to the vortex of the wooden wreckage; if they didn't blink, for a fraction of a second they could see straight through both buildings.

      It was not a diabolical natural disaster that was responsible for this scene but a pair of artists, Dan Havel and Dean Ruck. The two wooden buildings - used for decades by the local arts council, Art League Houston, as classrooms and exhibition space - were to be replaced by a new-build project. For the few months that they awaited the demolition crew, they were reincarnated as an architectonic installation. Owing to the lack of a budget, Havel and Ruck erected the work with the materials on hand: dismantling the existing building, board by board, they used the old timber to realize their installation. The project became a kind of exercise in architectonic excavation; they turned the premises inside out. Impossible to illustrate the implosion of a recycling process in a more salient way.

      If ever a structure deserved the label 'uncanny', it has to be Inversion House, a building stripped of its soul, devoid of life. Its gaping hole fulfilled the same role as the hall closet in Mark Danielewski's brilliant novel House of Leaves (the space tunnels into a dark and never-ending void) : both were sinister signs of the presence of another dimension. That the installation has now been demolished is an apt part of the picture. As a memory, the image is a haunting reminder that although architecture exists to provide shelter, buildings do not always assure peace of mind."
