And i fucking hate this bastardised definition and use of information. The only 'information' is the way the elementary particles and force carriers are positioned relative to each other. Again that is 'information' in the same way the distance and angle between my washing-machine rocks are at any given moment. We could even find a way to control the direction a predesignated face of the rock is pointing and do computations with it.
...and yet you rated up his post. When I saw that I was going to comment that you have obviously been smoking more pot than usual, but now I see that it was a send up related to "opposite day". Big ups for ironic kudosing! I've often wished for a thumbs down button but figured that involking opposite day then rating up the dumbest posts would be funnier...

Yes there is actually a wiki page on opposite day. Who knew?
