GPF Archive: Sunday, June 19, 2005 Fooker: There. I've tweaked the code and added a few optimizations. Now we just wait for the results... / Scott: That could take a while. That's some very intense computations on a very large volume of data. / Fooker: No sweat. I hacked SETI@Home a while back, so I just uploaded the code and data...
GPF Archive: Monday, June 20, 2005 Fooker: And it's done! Let me clean up SETI@Home to hide our intrusion, then we'll look at the results. / Scott: Huzzah! / Tim: So far, the text doesn't look very different. Every thing seems to be here... all six questions are there... / Scott: Six questions? There were only five before! / Tim: Here...
GPF Archive: Tuesday, June 21, 2005 Sharon: "Insatiable" and "curious"? What the heck does that mean? / Scott: Well, let's think about it for a moment. First on "curious..." / Scott: You both went back and looked at the unknown file we sent you, after first walking away from it. We *thought* you failed, but because an *insatiably* curious...
GPF Archive: Wednesday, June 22, 2005 Scott: Quickly! Tell us, how frequently do you... um... you know... / Fooker: At least three times a-- / Sharon: NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS. / Patty: Maybe you should look at it a different way. *They* are a geek couple who can theoretically do it any time they want. When was the last time anyone in the...
GPF Archive: Thursday, June 23, 2005 Tim: So... it appears both Sharon and Fooker have passed all the tests to be "The One!" / Sharon: That's a matter of interpretation... / Patty: But can that be? They can't both be "The One". The semantics don't quite work out... / Fooker: Ask Zathras... / Scott: Wait a minute... / Scott: Perhaps it...
 
GPF Archive: Friday, June 24, 2005 Ki: So what's it like being the future mother of the geek messiah? / Sharon: Oh, God... Don't tell me you've heard already... / Ki: It's kind of hard not to, with those new guys following around all the time... / Sharon: Fooker and I haven't had any peace in three days. / Sharon: You know, I don't care...
GPF Archive: Saturday, June 25, 2005 Patty: Hey, Tim. You've been quiet the last few days. I figured you'd be as excited as Scott about finding the secret of "The One". / Tim: So did I... / Tim: But I think I'm getting a disenchanted with the whole thing. Maybe I just don't have Scott's zeal, but I'm not sure I agree with his interpretation...

GPF Archive: Thursday, June 30, 2005 Ki: You know, I was always worried she wouldn't like my boyfriends... / Nick: I can understand. Animals can be great judges of character. / Ki: Well, since your folks always had dogs, I wasn't sure how you felt about cats. / Nick: We had cats too. They just never seemed to like me, unlike Randi here. / Ki:...
GPF Archive: Friday, July 1, 2005 There. All de-furred just in time to go. / Bye, Randi! / Where's she off to? / She probably heard a sound and wants to investigate. Always curious... / Bye, Randy! I promise to bring home a kitty bag for you! / SLAM / KA-CLICK / Mrr?
GPF Archive: Saturday, July 2, 2005 What's this? Oh, It's you again, little furry mortal. / Nothing to worry about this time, I promise. Just a routine check, which is refreshingly mundane for a change. / Mreow? / I never quite understood why the higher in intelligence a mortal species becomes, the less in tune they become to higher planes...
GPF Archive: Sunday, July 3, 2005 Dwayne: Do you think you guys can handle things while we're gone, Dex? / Dexter: [[salutes Dwayne]] I have the conn, Captain. / Dwayne: I feel odd leaving the new guys like this, but with half my staff subpoenaed to testify -- including myself -- it has to be done. / Ki: I think leaving Dex in command...
 
GPF Archive: Monday, July 4, 2005 [[Nick is talking with Fred in the van]] / Nick: Are you sure you're not worried about the publicity, Fred? / Fred: My unveiling to the world? Nah. / [[Nicole and Ki look shocked]] / Fred: Besides, this is a relatively minor civil case. I doubt it will even make the local news. / Ki: I wouldn't count...
GPF Archive: Tuesday, July 5, 2005 Nick: Throw in a lion, a tiger, and a bear and we'd have a real media circus out there. / Fooker: Does a wolf count?

GPF Archive: Saturday, July 9, 2005 [[The Judge slips on a robe while talking on the phone with "George"]] / The Judge: No, George. It's not big deal. As soon as you get out of traction, you can fill in for me. / [[The Judge walks down the hall. Fooker is drinking from a water fountain]] / The Judge: Did I ever tell you about the time...
GPF Archive: Sunday, July 10, 2005 Officer: All rise for the honorable judge-- / Officer: I said, all rise.

GPF Archive: Monday, July 11, 2005 The Judge: Now hold on just a minute. I'm confused.

GPF Archive: Wednesday, July 13, 2005 Judge: So... YOU hold that this slime mold is a sentient being equitable to a human being? / Nicole: We have documented scientific evidence to support this claim, yes. / Judge: And YOU realize that by merely proceeding with this suit that you acknowledge and accept that fact too? / Mercedes: I wouldn't...
 
GPF Archive: Thursday, July 14, 2005 Judge thinks: Something tells me this is going to be a long one. / Judge: Counsel for the plaintiff, you may begin your opening remarks. / Mercedes: Thank you, Your Honor. My client, Mr. Terrell, is a diligent, industrious salesman who has just stopped short of working miracles to bring his company...
GPF Archive: Friday, July 15, 2005 Libel per se? What's the difference? / Not a good one. / Counsel for the defense. / Thank you, your honor. The plaintiff has indeed done much for his company, as has my client. Both have served their capacities well, despite conflicts of personality. / However, I will prove it is the plaintiff, not...
GPF Archive: Saturday, July 16, 2005 [[Dex, Scott, and Patty are watching the coverage at the GPF office]] / Television: And so what started out as a simple local lawsuit has exploded into a national legal melodrama. / [[Dr. Not and Nefarious are watching the coverage in prison as "And" and "Or" sit in the background.]] / Television: The...
