My friend got a division by zero error. I thought I might be doing something
wrong, but I've confirmed that I was following your instructions exactly.
Also, I can't move my wrists now.

Again, I am sorry if I disparaged. I don't want to contribute to morale burnout.
There is a lot of overlap. Ron is an official P-T and the author of patched
features.

Ah! I have found the error. The problem is that you only occupy a finite
amount of cubic centimeters. When contrasted to the entire universe, that
amount, <finite>/<infinite> works out to zero. Using this method, you do not
exist. Please add an arbitrary 0.00001 to all figures until we come up with
a fix. I know this means that you will be located somewhere within one of
6,000,000,000,000 galaxies, but that will have to be close enough for now.

Actually, the problem appears to be that the triangulation didn't work, as
I could have been anywhere on a line segment connecting my fingers. Holding
one arm out in front of me seems to have fixed the error.
My wrists still don't work, though. They're all floppy. I had to get some
help getting them bent at 180 degrees, and it hurt a little, and they're
turning funny colors. Do you think that might be related?

Hmm... that should only happen if you accidentally get your
arms -exactly- 180 degrees from each other, any other angle would have
worked.

You have now learned the first lesson of Aikido, "It's -not- all in the
wrist."

And I can donate some school work...I have a whole second semester of
Grammar III that I have to repeat.
And those annoying US History reports which I never seem to actually get

Yes, it looks like we overlooked the changes in 0.3.2. We were not aware
of those changes, we concentrated on the glow patch and
blob_pigment/pattern.
A small correction: Nathan isn't to blame for that mistake. We added
most of the new stuff in MP 0.6.
Sorry for the mistake!

With this and the transformation bug, it looks like we will need a 0.6a
after all.

I've heard that somewhere. Was it when I took ping-pong? Or maybe it
was in one of those weird Sexual Education classes?

I think "animation" would have been a better keyword...I would prefer:
#if(animation = on)
to this:
#if(clock_on)
It would still do the same thing(you don't really need the "= on" part),
but it is more obvious what it does.
Or am I misunderstanding what it does?
