SnoopJthe most important part of #Unicode history is when a mouse fell out of a light fixture and got added to the count of members present at a Technical Committee meeting (9 Nov 2016)

wow thank you for letting me know this

`Da Elf@SnoopJ And SEVERAL times mouse shows up in the minutes.
Dr. Quadragon ❌@SnoopJ noted: Unicode consortium a bunch of huge nerds.
Till Westermayer@SnoopJ "Mouse still at large"
Damon L. Wakes@SnoopJ Hang on. Was the mouse considered 0.502 people?
Deezy.exe stopped unexpectedly
Brent Cook@DeezyPuzzles @DamonWakes @SnoopJ the next day they open with 6.002 members including Mouse. Who was 0.500?
Marie@DamonWakes @SnoopJ From the rest of the notes, Mouse seems to represent 0.002 of a Member. Members of the UTC are, I guess, usually companies. I'm not sure which company is a half-member.
Chip_UnicornToday I learned: A warren of 3,000 mice could take over the Unicode standard. 🐁
Unsigned Long -> ac@jamuraa @DamonWakes @SnoopJ There's a table on that page listing the members represented, seems like EmojiXpress is a "Supporting Member" instead of a "Full Member" and probably counts as 0.5
Andrew Pardoe@DamonWakes @SnoopJ I read this as a joke reference to the MOS 6502 processor, a legend amongst microchips.
Ronflaix@SnoopJ "Mouse still at large".
Good ending. I'm hooked.
ezri@SnoopJ I like how a mouse counts as 0.2% of a Google.
kinda reminds me of the "fifteen flying squirrels" joke in magic the gathering communities:
there's a flying, reality warping, world destroying eldritch horror called "Emrakul" with a statline of 15 atk/15 def (it's the beefiest tournament sanctioned card in the game). due to the mechanics of the game though, it can be defeated by, for example, 15 flying 1/1 squirrels

Andrew Douglass@ezri Squirrels are dangerous in large numbers. See: Squirrel Girl beating all of Marvel’s most feared villains.
Jennifer Kayla | Theogrin 🦊Let no one state that they're unwilling to acknowledge active representation by a party who is clearly invested in the proceedings.

Ross Schulman@SnoopJ I read this as "moose" and was EXTREMELY confused for a minute.
Zash@SnoopJ I would like to nominate Mouse for Board!

nyami@SnoopJ @0xabad1dea The mouse has 0.002 votes on the Consortium, which is more than me!
How many votes would a cat have?
Tonio Loewald@SnoopJ when does that mouse get its own emoji?
Dubi is here 
@SnoopJ and it's counted as 0.002 of a member!
John McKerrell@DoESLiverpool one to look forward to for a future board meeting?

Steven R. Loomis@jpf @SnoopJ Food is often an important part of hosting a gathering, and this is no exception. The north campus had no cafeteria, and some great restaurants but not in walking distance, so the food was trucked in from 555 Bailey. I had to do some analytics to figure out how many brownies or sodas to seat out each day, etc.
@jpf @SnoopJ Facilities (we were a tenant) was aware of a persistent issue where mice, looking for a place to go, would somehow get into vents and climb up into the ceiling. Had to make sure not to leave food out and so on. Anyway, I didn’t see the mouse fall out of the ceiling but I was glad it didn’t fall on someone, or worse. It landed in some marinara sauce. The lid was closed, and the whole container taken outside where the mouse was released.
Nire Bryce@SnoopJ landlord? smh of all things i'd think unicode would own it's own address space
Dave Porter@NireBryce @SnoopJ 😂 got em
mrchan@SnoopJ Did they show the work for calculating it constitutes 0.002 of a member?
Okona
Pseudomim@SnoopJ typical IBM office, full of mice
Chris Bohn@SnoopJ I'm trying to decide if that particular fraction was chosen to get "6502". Was it suggested by the Apple representative?
Georgeguy007 🪙Mint the Coin🪙@SnoopJ thats hilarious

Bob Harvey@SnoopJ Nicked for elsewhere
aismallard (relocated!)@SnoopJ Wow the mouse came all that way to attend the committee meeting, and they immediately resolve to have it exiled??
