Science is the name of all FPH Clan activity which follows the rigid FPH scientific method, which is as follows:
- Come up with shit
- Draw a chart
- SCIENCE
Over the course of the Clan's history the Templars have contributed many dazzling discoveries to world science.
History of FPH science[]
A hell of a lot of science was required to science the Forums and the first page into existing in the first place. Or perhaps black magic. Who knows.
Early FPH scientists were primarily concerned with natural sciences, in particular hippopotamian biology. Later FPH natural scientists were primarily concerned with your mom's biology.
Military science was a popular field early in the clan history, with a particular focus on robotics. However, hardly any charts were produced, which lead some critics to argue that it was all bullshit.
Talon is widely considered the greatest scientist in FPH history, having produced an astonishing number of highly influential charts. His contributions to FPH science, in particular a proposal to measure literally everything in football fields, have had a profound impact on its development.
Scientific institutions of FPH[]
FPH Labs[1] are a distinguished institution which researches into such diverse fields as mustard and Lief's penis. Also, building iron moats around FPH Island to prevent hovercraft assaults [2].
University of Bouvetoya and Flying Purple University are often namedropped whenever someone has to back their posts with science. No known alumni exist of those fine institutions of higher learning, but they certainly produce a shitload of papers.
Examples of popular fields[]
Applied theology[]
Applied theology is a crucial science in the technically theocratic FPH Clan. It has saved our asses more times than you could possibly imagine.
Forensic science[]
Forensic science is crucial because it allows you to blame people more accurately. Forensic science consists of ENHANCING IMAGES and COLLECTING DNA SAMPLES and KILLING OFF THE OTHER SIDE'S WITNESSES SO THAT IT LOOKS LIKE AN ACCIDENT.
Coding strange things[]
A branch of science very useful in designing dugong or cookie systems or writing wikis.
Irony studies[]
A principally European field; other Templars have often suggested that Europeans should look into ways of shutting the fuck up about it. This is because they don't get it + are jealous.
Important inventions[]
Talon invented a time machine once[4]. Although after later conversations with Hal he announced that it is not going to work, he has won surprising sums of money on sports bets since.
A Computer That Can Simulate A Better Computer is a machine first proposed by ArCHeR. We'll get around to designing it as soon as we're done with philospher's stone and perpetuum mobile.
Conflict between science and religion[]
None whatsoever, a Flying Purple Hippo's average wing span can be given in football fields pretty easily. It is roughly 1/30th of a football field. Owned
