[SPEC] ParafFun! and specimen analysis

[fitofjoy]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't moderating neutrons the act of guiding neutrons to control a nuclear reaction, like in nuclear power plants? Neutrons are fired at uranium, and to keep it contained, they use some sort of paddle to direct and regulate the amount of neutrons. I don't think there is a person who is a neutron moderator.

I think putting everyday products next to scientific activities was meant to be an amusing marketing strategy for the company.

paraffun

[eliwein]

Okay. I'll take that. Although it's still gonna stay in the back of my mind... maybe once they make the ParafFun! website, I'll get more info.

I still sense ominous overtones in all of the subsidiaries of the Tagruato Corp., including ParafFun Wax.

Possibly just the residual of what I've read concerning all the Dharma related institutions underlying evilness in the Lost experience.

In another thread I pointed out that I haven't found anyone mentioning using paraffin to moderate neutrons for about 70 years. It seems they have found much better materials to do this with. If you look up the wiki for paraffin and then look at the uses they describe for paraffun you start to see that whoever made the tagruato page didn't really delve all that deep into the uses of paraffin. I still think that possibly one or more of the uses they list will come into the game later on though. Anyone else here think all these subsidiaries will have their own stand-alone site eventually, like slusho?

[eliwein]

There's 3 months until the release. I'd say its a good chance there'll be subsidiary sites, 3 months is a long time. One month is a long time.

I'm not entirely sure they're going to make sites. On WhoIs sites like BOLDFUTURA.JP and PARAFFUN.JP and YOSHIDAMEDICALRESEARCH.JP are still available and if they ARE trying to branch into America and Europe like they say they would use .com right? Well Dennis from Cloverfield Clues already now has PARAFFUN.COM and YOSHIDAMEDICALRESEARCH.COM. So if they were gonna put up sites don't you think they would have already purchased those sites even if they weren't live yet just to get them off the market? Not to mention if they were going to use other ones YMR.JP is already a financial place, YMR.COM was created in the 90s, BF.JP unregistered, BF.COM was created in 1994, and I don't know what you'd use to shorten ParafFun so I'm not even going to try. I don't think subsiderary sites are going up.

Isn't paraffin wax found suspended in Crude Oil, like the oil that Tagruato gets from it's deep sea drilling. I am guessing that ParafFun! is a subsidiary because they are pulling the paraffin right out of the oil they drill...

[TheSupafly]

Paraffin is derived from crude oil. We need to remember that Ganu tore apart and rebuilt Tagruato Corp. from the ground up. First as a drilling company, and eventually in to the subsidiaries we all know about.
To me, all the subsidiaries are there primarily to cater to the needs of Tagruato Corp's harvesting and processing of DSH.

Bold Futura:
I think perhaps we've missed the point of the information given to us on BF, yes they have dealt with arms manufacturers etc, but they seem especially proud of their exploration gear.
