PHUL and wikipedia


http://www.archangels-and-angels.com/misc/olympian_spirits.html

Ben: did anyone ever write a wikipedia article on us?

2:23 PM because this won't do

me: I did

Ben: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phul

me: took like 10 hours

some jackass permanently deleted it 2 days later

Ben: are you serious?

me: I really wish I'd saved the html

took a LOT of work

I am

Ben: like, an editor or some random person

me: all editors are essentially random people

but they gain stature with tenure

2:24 PM I'd love to try again

but I'd need to be in the right mood, and my memory is worse than it used to be

Ben: I can't believe that is something they'd delete

me: yeah, especially since discNW was up then

Ben: was it as easy to find on google as it is now?

me: PHUL? Probably not

2:25 PM Ben: for the editor to confirm?

me: I mean the article had links to the cpu site and such

so it would've been easy to find

2:27 PM Ben: did you know hampton high school's wikipedia page has their girls Ultimate championship listed?

2:28 PM me: I did not know that.

2:29 PM Ben: and montour lists Ultimate Frisbee as a spring sport in the Pittsburgh High School Ultimate League

on wikipedia

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montour_High_School

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hampton_High_School_(Allison_Park,_Pennsylvania)

2:32 PM me: That stuff wasn't there back in the day, so that might mean our site would stick this time.

Ben: yeah

2:34 PM me: Forge should totally get a page

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ultimate_teams#Mid-Atlantic

2:35 PM Ben: yeah, i just saw that

2:36 PM so this phul is one of 7 olympian spirits

each of who rules a factor of 7 of 196 universal provinces

which comes to 7 in numerology

2:37 PM me: "which comes to 7 in numerology"?

Ben: 1+9+6=16, 1+6=7

i can't make this stuff up

me: ah

cool

2:38 PM PHUL on the line!

Ben: but it's pretty neat that it's 7

yeah

2:42 PM and 196 is also 7+14+21...+49

is that called something in math?

2:43 PM me: It's like a factorial only with addition... It is 7*(7*4)

2:44 PM Ben: each spirit rules over earth (in place of god) for 490 years. we are currently in Ophiel's reign

Phul will begin it's reign in 2390ad

that's a long time to wait to win states

me: "There is no special name for this function. But there is a simple formula:
1 + 2 + 3 + ... + n = n(n+1)/2
The proof can be found here: http://mathworld.wolfram.com/ArithmeticSeries.html
"

something kinda like that...

2:46 PM Ben: phul's most recent governance was from 1040 to 550 bc

2:47 PM me: Who are the other spirits?

can we name the middle school league after them?

2:48 PM Ben: http://www.archangels-and-angels.com/misc/olympian_spirits.html

2:49 PM me: Phul is a ho-stack!

Ophiel seems to be PR's endzone play...

Ben: Ophiel: Organization of Pittsburgh High Schoolers Indoctrinating Eligible Losers

HAHAHA

2:50 PM It's funny how this is Phul and Haggith

me: Yeah, I know that's crazy

2:51 PM Ben: haggith is a ho stack play

a clogging one, but one none-the-less
