    They'd have to be packed arbitrarily tightly or the whole stack would simply disintegrate above a certain altitude.

    methinks those are not fedoras.

    Youthinks wrong.

    Here are some samples of fedoras:

    And here's the original of my avatar:

    So while you cannot see the full shape of the hats in my avatar, you can see sufficient to determine that they are, in fact, fedoras.

    Or, possibly this, if you can accessorize it properly...that is with Bear Bryant or Tom Landry.

    Filed under: Technically you are correct... but morally?

    Those trilby things are Open Source aren't THEY? AREN'T THEY?

    but :wtf: do you call the barker hat otherwise?

    Either more consistency or more discoursistency, but pick one!

    Why not both? Why not @Zoidberg?

    FragFrog:
    Well, that remains somewhat to be seen.

    Ah, a blast from the past, the person trying to explain how This Isn't Really An WTF. I haven't seen[1] one of those in quite some time.

    [1] maybe people have been doing it and I haven't noticed.

  • (disco) in reply to FrostCat
    FrostCat:
    Why not both?

    Because they're opposites. Hard to have more of both on a single subject (unless the subject is Duckhorse, but I digress).

    FrostCat:
    Why not @Zoidberg?

    Because he isn't allowed in article topics.

    So? It's still funny.

    Significant:

    Bowler / Derby

    A hard felt hat with a rounded crown created in 1850 by Lock's of St James's, the hatters to Thomas Coke, 2nd Earl of Leicester, for his servants. More commonly known as a Derby in the United States.

    Fedora

    A soft felt hat with a medium brim and lengthwise crease in the crown.

    Therefore, I submit that the hats in your avatar are bastards offspring of a bowler hat and a fedora.

    Except that in the case of über, the umlauts are actually the correct spelling.

    Assuming that we're talking about writing in German. If the company in question is American, any umlaut involved would be purely decorative (English does sometimes use a diaeresis but I've never seen it in a leading position; the symbol there would be taken as being merely decorative).

    this made me think of several stories about how a rotating object with infinite mass could be used as a time machine by flying around it in the opposite direction...
