I do have a useful bit of information. The last time I checked (and I just did a few days ago) the skills with the least number of people at 99 were: Construction Herblore Agility In that order. Construction only has like, 160 people. I guess when you can build your Demon Throne at 96 using tea, there's no real reason to go any further. 96 to 99 Construction east up alot of money.

This scam is OOOOOLLLLLDDDD. One of the oldest, maybe, I remember this from when I joined (a few years ago). This one's right up there with armor trimming. And you want to know why people do this kind of thing? YOU! YOU!! What the heck are you thinking? You just gave a scammer 200k. So, gee, the next time he feels like scamming he'll remember the last time when he tried it and GOT AWAY WITH 200K OF YOUR MONEY! :roll: Do you think that giving this guy money is going to stop him? It's going to encourage him!! Holy cow, person, holy cow. WHERE is your sense of LOGIC?!

0/10. Never even seen one post by you, and I remember most of the posts I see. You're registered very recently, though, so I guess that's understandable.

I was hoping people like you would post. I was afraid everyone would take the high road and say, "Oh not me! I'm a perfect little angel!" Anyway, I changed the first post to clarify a little bit. No matter your decision, you and your family/friends wont be hurt. The 1,000 people will all be total strangers.

Or so the saying goes. So the real question is, what would you or wouldn't you do for money? I'll present you with a few scenarios, and let's see just what people are willing to do for the right price. Scenario 1: You are a well known scientists in the field of weapons research. A terrorist organization comes to you and offers a large sum of money for you to develop a sort of bomb for them. There is no threat of the organization that you work for finding out, and if you refuse, none of your family members or friends will be harmed. If you choose to build a bomb for the terrorists, you will be responsible for the deaths of precisely 1,000 people, all strangers. The bomb is made with a special chemical that only affects organic life forms. Once it goes off, there is no radiation left over, and the place where it is dropped isn't damaged at all. Everything stays exactly as it is, except for 1,000 people die. On top of that, they get a quick, painless, almost instantaneous death. No matter what you do, nobody you know will be harmed at all. So, how much money would you have to be offered to accept? I should mention, that although the organization you work for is quite wealthy, you yourself live in a small apartment with your spouse and 2 children. You're not hurting for money, necessarily, (nobody is threatening to break your legs at least) and your kids aren't starving or anything, but there's definitely room for moving up in the world. Answer between $1 million and $25 million, or if you wouldn't do it for any amount of money, just type "No way noob!" Let me be a little more specific. It's not a nuclear bomb at all. : Just a regular old bomb. I know some people say it doesn't make a difference, but with nuclear bombs you get residual radiation and whatnot, which would actually harm more people for years to come. Actually, innocent people aren't suffering at all. :) For one, there's no such thing as an innocent person, I've said that before. For two, they wont suffer at all. In fact their death will be quite painless. :)

From this one sentence, I can tell exactly what kind of person you're going to grow up to be. EDIT: Also, I think Randox may have gotten that list from some kind of ummm ... Well, I'll tell you this, Buddha never listed those 5 stages in meditation. 5 hours ... ? Didn't he sit under the bodhi tree for like 5 years?

I want to go back to talking about pre-marital sex for a moment, 'cause I had another comment. :o I'm still a virgin, but if the right guy comes along I don't mean to stay that way. That doesn't mean that I'm going to throw myself at anyone with a (sexual organ), though. The point I wanted to make was, having pre-marital sex doesn't automatically mean you're a (promiscuous person). I think some people missed that part. You can have sex before marriage and still have it be a meaningful expression of your feelings with someone you love. On the other hand, I've seen married people who have sex maybe once a year and positively hate each other. Is that really better? Which is the worse situation, sex between a teenage couple who adore each other and want to make each other happy, or sex between two married people who can't stand each other anymore and therefore attach no emotional meaning to sex? :oops: Now I'm all embarassed ... For some reason ...

I think what he's talking about (and this happened to another kid many years ago) was some little girl sat on the drain of a swimming pool, and the amount of water pressure pushing down on the drain was enough to suck the girl's intestines out through her anus. It's very rare, but this does happen. The first kid I heard of it happening to died (drowned, but almost certainly would've died anyway), and it sounds like this little girl would almost be better off dead ... Think of how much water is in a pool, then consider that water weighs something like 8/10 lbs. per gallon. I think it's actually the weight of all that water being sucked into the drain. A 10 inch by 10 inch square drain has 100 inches of area, and an Olympic size swimming pool holds about 650,000 gallons of water, and at 8.3 lbs per gallon, that's something like 50,000 psi of pressure on the drain. I guess there'd be more than one drain, but let's imagine this fictional swimming pool has only one. The effect of all this weight is, let's say you are standing at the edge of a cliff, and someone has tied a 50,000 lb (22,727 kilos) weight to your anus, or perhaps your large intestine, and then that person drops the 50,000 lb weight off the cliff. For those of you who said it can't happen, think again. :XD: What a way to die ... O_o

I'm sure I'd find this pretty impressive, if I didn't hate Pokemon. I'm 17 years old, and I know that's not that old, but old enough that I was of prime Pokemon playing age when the card game first hit America. Those 150 original monsters were practically my best friends when I was growing up, since my parents got divorced and I was forced to move several times between the ages of 9 - 13. Those first 150 Pokemon were great, and even when they added a few more with the releases of the various Pokemon movies. But when they suddenly added like, 200 more Pokemon, it really ruined the whole thing for me. Good artwork, though. I just hate Pokemon now.

Check out my new sig, people. Compare to ... I wanted to show it here in its high-quality .bmp form, before I had to save it as a .jpeg so it would fit in Tip.It's signature image size limit. As you can see, I made it to imitate those "Which FF character are you?" sigs. I think the end result is pretty good. : Ahh by the way, those letters that say "You are ..." were taken from one of the FF character sigs, although I had to clean all the spare pixels off of them before they were useable. Same with the letters that spell "KASHI". I actually stole letters out of the signatures for Aeris, Zack, Vincent and Sephiroth. The words "Seven whole grains", though, I hand-crafted in Paint, since I couldn't find a font that looked like them, and I didn't want to sit and clean all the letters from the actual signatures. So! Rate my new sig, 1 out of 10?

It is totally random, but on a different note, I don't know why everyone complains about getting puzzle boxes. :o After a bit of practice, I can now do a 15 piece sliding puzzle in under 30 seconds (my record is 18.5 seconds, but 30 is my average). The puzzles from Lv3 clues are 24 pieces, or maybe 35, I forget, but I doing them, I wish I'd get them more often.

But with ashes you can use them to ummm ... Bless people on ash wednesday! I think that's a wednesday anyway. The most useless item to have would definitely be ... A full set of Karil's armor+bow. It's the most useless item in RS, too, what a coincidence.

With Ancients tele to the Lv20+ Wild greens, I can get a full load of hides+bones with 4 monkfish, sometimes less. And I bet it takes me alot less time as well. :-s PKers aren't even a very big problem. When PKers show up you just "operate" your glory amulet back to Edgeville and come back ready to kick their butts. All in all, those brutal greens just really, really don't seem worth it.

*Cough* Care to elaborate on that?

Well for some people, it holds no deeper meaning. : Just physical pleasure.

You say that like, "Have you ever been raped?" or, "Have you ever had your car stolen?" Like it's such a bad thing. :o I merchant all the time, it's the best way to make money, playing other people for fools.

(Posting before reading anything on the thread ...) Morals? What are those, are they like swedish fish? They sound tasty. EDIT: (After reading the whole thread ... side note my eyes burn.) You, all of you, who are judging this person for judging others, are you not just as bad? If one person wishes to condemn other people for their crimes, and others wish to live and let live, they would be better to each follow their own philosophy. If my code of ethics states that is is my duty in life to spread misery and dischord amongst the living, before I can join the dead, then is it wrong for me to crush the spirits and ruin the lives of as many people as I can? Is it wrong for me to do violence to all the pathetic examples of--what are we talking about? Yes, back to the topic, I know a girl like you whose parents are (a certain religion), and they wont let her date my friend because he is not a member of their religion. So they've been dating secretly for months now. The girl still believes in her religion, but she also thinks it's ridiculous to push aside everyone who does not share her faith. I gather from the majority of the religious discussions on Off Topic that most of the frequent posters are atheists. This is good, as religion tends to breed judgmental and self-righteous people. However, let us not pretend that every person who has faith in their religion is a high and mighty, burn the wicked, free booze for the believers, knock on your door during dinner-time fanatic. It is possible to believe and be reasonable at the same time. Understandably, these people will become angry if you start to mock their religion, but some of the nicest, most educated people I know are firm believers in whatever religion they choose. We shouldn't mock the poster of this thread, but rather pity her. Her religion has closed her mind to anything beyond what she has been taught. Perhaps, if we were to be kinder and less defensive, we could cause her to see the light (not of God, but of logic.) I'm in a zen sort of mood right now. Ya' know?

Amazing, I know.

1. Well, I've always said (and I think I actually read it somewhere and picked it up) that if you take your kids to church, they'll learn just enough about religion to mock it for the rest of their lives. I don't know how the universe started, but if we look at the past couple hundred thousand years, the theory of evolution is clearly more than a theory. Evolution isn't a theory, it's an absolute, incontrovertible fact. You can't see evolution in man, because our lifespan is so long (at least compared to many animals), and of course, we can't see the changes because we're experiencing them. But with organisms who are born and reproduce in very short amounts of time (bacteria, basically) evolution can be recorded and measured. Like the fact that certain strains of disease become immune to anti-biotics, not because the individual germs build an immunity, but because a small percentage of the bacteria have a gene which makes them immune to those anti-biotics, and they pass on that gene when they reproduce. I know this question was about The Big Bang, but that and evolution go hand in hand. And anyway, it's a hell of alot more plausible than the idea that God created all living things exactly as they are in present day. 2. The idea of an afterlife is a natural process of man's mind. To put it like this ... You have never been dead, therefore you cannot comprehend what it would be like to be dead. It is outside the range of your experiences, so it is natural for you to imagine a life after the one you have now. Faced with death as an inevitability, and the unknown, the unknowable idea of being dead, you imagine a new life after this one. Some religions (Christians, Muslims) teach that the life after will be a Paradise, or possible a burning pit filled with unimaginable horrors ... either one's good I guess. Others (Buddhism, Hinduism) teach Reincarnation. But the basic thought is still the same; life after death. This is not a bad way of thinking, or even one that is very hard to understand. If the promise of another life is what it takes people to get through this one, then it does its job by providing hope and whatnot, I suppose. 3. What prevents me from doing bad things? (Change the emphasis of the question, what I mean to say is, "Who says I don't do bad things?")

. . . That was .. so horribly wrong. I can't believe that's considered forum-appropriate. Some things are better kept to yourself. :uhh: It's made worse in that you're a pretty decent writer (or story-teller at least). That post painted vivid pictures in my mind that I fear may never go away. :uhh:

This is BUMP style #2: BBBbbbBBBuuuUUUuuuMMMmmmMMMpppPPPppp . . . ! ! ! Also check out my blog, you fools! Click Project Kashi in my signature. you Mr. D3AD1Y!

Good point. Still, my thing is informative! :o

Jagex once said that the ring of wealth works like this ... Imagine you have two wheels, and whenever you kill a monster, the first one spins, see. The first wheel contains all the common drops, but if it spins a certain spot on the first wheel, the second one will spin in response. The second wheel has the rare drops as well as common ones. I made a diagram. :) So, if you get the question mark on the first wheel, the second one will spin to determine if you get a rare drop or not. The ring of wealth wont help you get a question mark in the first place, only increase your chances of a rare item when you do get one. Of course, the wheels are alot bigger with way more drops, but you get the idea.

I'd say I'm right on stop 6 ... Although I've already passed through 8 and 9, then restarted with a new character. Now the sense of new-ness is gone, and only the urge to be superior remains. Notice everyone just lists about what step they're on, they don't try to dispute your theory, because what you described is 99% accurate with 99% of the RS community. Well done, by the way.

Hey you're right ... That photo ISN'T Andrew Gower! Somehow I got another person online with the same name ... odd. Least that gross old guy isn't him.
