Everything can be translated to WoW...
or back!
Kevin: For those asking, the reason we have Kielo off-tank Gruul is because his Hurtful Strikes can't crush so that isn't a factor, and so armor mitigation is key, and Kielo has more AC1 than God.
Luke: How much armor does God have?
Kevin: A little less than Kielo.
Jessica: Wait a second. Is this in the Old Testament, or the New Testament?
Luke: Does God have more armor in the Old Testament, or the New Testament?
Buff: Well, see, that's the debate.
Jessica: I heard the New Testament nerfed Him.
1"AC" stands for "armor class", which is the term used in EQ and D&D. It's not used in WoW, but Kevin uses it anyway. :)

Dude, your website is fast!

Haha, yeah Mike, Luke's site always loads in negative time for me too. It's like, I click a link, and the page loads in the past. Maybe if we hit refresh over and over and over again, we'll look outside and it'll be Christmas morning again? Somehow, Luke has coded in such a way that it's defied the space-time continuum and has unlocked the secrets of time travel. Actually, I just did the calculation from -1611314.13 seconds and that's approximately 18.5 days in the past. So loading the page and hitting refresh once should land us just over a month in the past. Maybe I can go back far enough to hit that $160 million lottery a few months ago? :)

Nice!
Although, I'm not sure you can simply hit refresh and have it take you back twice as far. It seems to only load data in the past once, and when you refresh, it's still ~18.5 days in the past, just a few seconds later than the last time you hit the page.
What we'd need to do is have Luke engineer two more space-time continuum defying websites. Have one of them load the other in an iframe, and whichever site was in the iframe also loads this site... thus, whatever loads on this page loads data 3x as far back as it did before.
The possibilities are endless. Can we some how go back and erase 80's music? And that whole beanie baby thing?

Oh, and somehow, we need to make hoverboards with this technology...

I'm up for that so long as we can erase the 70's completely. Except for 1979 otherwise my existence would cease as well. Oh wait, my parents got married in 1978. Ok, we let's just erase Disco and all those awful clothes people wore in the 70's.

I beg to differ. I think Luke's site is actually ultra-slow but still has awesome time-travel goodness (aside: leading bloggers suspect the use of Ajax, since it does everything else). You send a request for the page and Luke's blog/server take 18.4 days to render the post. Then, in the last .1 of the day, it calculates the point in time to send data back to (via roman numerals of course) and your browser gets the response just in time.
Makes debugging a bitch though, what with the use of Mr. Fusion and all.
