The Haunted Picwood!
I would quit I think. Rigth after I was done [cabbage]ting my pants. I intend to live in a new house so I don't get stuck with a haunted one. Been in more than one place that Im sure was haunted for a nigth each, I prefer lights that dont flash, halls that dont walk, and stoves that turn on when the kitchen door opens. Call Ghost Busters? :XD:

Rowling Says Dumbledore Is Gay.
woah....well you know the actor who plays Gandalf in all the LOTR movies is gay Then I guess that the actor dosent mind, since I think the origanal dumboldor was only alive to make the first 2, gandalf is dumbledoor from number 3 onwards.

Annoying nicknames
I once gto the name 'bones'. It's because im fairly thin (you can see my ribs a bit), and its a fitting name seeing as im a bit of a trekkie too (the doctor in the origanal series was called "bones"). Lucky that blew over quickly.

Why do blacks get special treatment?
Someone alredy explained the diversity thing. But its still racist just the same. When some people see the statistics that show the number of black mails in US jails compared to number of white mails (its 8-1 or 10-1, something like that. any ways far more balck people), they think "the cops must be racist because they mostly arrest black people, our whole legal system must be racist!"Blah blah wah wah. True, there is going to be some digree of racist behavior by some people in the legal system, not much we can do about that. But the statistics don't show that the legal system is biased, it actualy shows that more black commit crimes (that carry jail time sentance). Some peole find this a truly novel concept that more black people are arrested because more black people commit crimes. Now I AM NOT SAYING that black people commit crimes because there black. I think it migth be fair to say more black people commit crimes because there are more poor black people than poor white people in North America. By putting in these stupid rules that force you to have an equal number of male and female employees, that make you favor visable minoritys. Those laws all bull, they have good intentions but overall it would be best to give people a job based on qualification not race/gender. I wan't the doctor who got top marks, not the one who got hired cause hes from africa, unless the guy from africa got top marks. My point is that laws that aim to inhibit racist behavior/policies on broad yet small scale are racist by there nature and cause to many problems. A law that prevents you from severly limation rights based on race/gender is one thing, a law that allows incompetance to prevail is another. And to many of these laws allow relative incompetance to get much farther than it should. And some people havent got a clue how to read statistics especcily when race is involved.\ I should also point out that something like a scholarship because your native american (canadian thing) is not something you want. It shows up on your resume and when an employer sees this they are going to assume that your were not smart enough for a real scolarship. No scolarship looks better and is normally more likely to get you a job. Some of these policies also have the potential to start a feelign of resentment in the majority to the minority because all these things make life much harder for white cocasion males, and to a lesser extent white cocasion females. Resentment towards minoritys by the majority is not a good way to minmize racisim, thats how you make these polices nessasary because theyll be needed to keep pissed off people in line.

WHY choose that skill to get 99 in?
I am going for 99 hunter for a few reasons. 1st, I enjoy it more than any other member skill (its the only emmber skill I like training), and I got bored when I did 73,74 fishing and cooking on f2p (which were my favorite skills). 2nd, is easy money. I made money off my last fishing but since then I couldnt be bothered to find a sorce of income. 2mill only lasts a little while (I made a bit more than that) considering I stoped the fishing about 6 months ago. 3rd, I can leel it fast. I gain easily 57k-63k exp an hour. It will eventualy be possible to gain 112k exp an hour in the last few levels. 4th, I have been here for years, if I had leveled properly my whole playing time I would easily have 5 pp's by now. Its about tiem I got at least 1.

Do you know the difference between Socialism and Communism?
In teh end Socialisim is not much more than a democratic communist system. Canadas NDP party is socalist, so I naturaly don't like them. My family is far enough up the middel class that we would be subject to more taxes, and when income tax hits 50+% I would start getting real pissed. If we let the Government handel everything, we might be able to drop some prices a bit because the Government would seek to break even, not make a profit (thats what taxes are for). However I think that they would screw it up. Any type of oganization that incredibly large would be plaged by communication problems, political [cabbage], and overal reduced effectivness and efincey. Would proboly raise production costs enough to offset the non-profit thing. No, I think I come up with a great idea/prduct and want to make my own company so I can get rich off MY idea, I shoudl be able to. I would move to a country where I could make my own companie, and so would many other people, so if we were socalist/communist, we could all sit and watch teh brilliant ideas walk away and compete with our country. But it is nice of you to explain the diffrence, but I still don't like either system.

Somnambulism (Sleep Walking)
I used to get up in the middel of the night to have a snack, sometimes I watched movies. Kinda pointless seeing as I never actualy woke up for this. Sometimes I wouldnt go back to bed. Now I actualy wake up when im hungry. And no, im not fat, im very far from it.

Halloween: Another let-down?
Read my last commentation in teh gielinor tribune. The majority of players did NOT vote for the winning selection in each of the 3 catagories. The catagories that won may have had the most votes, but not one of them got over 45%. So all in all the majority of players are dissapointed about at least one of the 3 catagories.

Actualy, you can't see her underware. That bit of fabric that shows between here legs is actualy teh front of here dress. It's PG-13 enough, and I pesonaly never even noticed or thought about it untill it was pointed out.

Runescape on Wii?
Well, they all have hard drives now, so ya they proboly do count as computers (thats all the gamecube and PS2 were missing from the computer catagory). But they don't run on a normal operating system. It's not like the Xbox 360 is runnign windows with a new GUI, its completly different. The OS for a console really just tells tells the graphics prccessor and normall proccessor what to do with data on a disk. A console does not have to deal with much input, all it ha sis a contrller and thats proboly about as complex as your keyboard. Up till now there has been no need for the OS to handel "programs". It has its own settings, something akin to BIOS (though not the same function). The OS is just an interface between the diskdrive + controller and the processors. To run Java, the OS has to be desinged to use not it's build in circitry, but a program held in RAM to provide trhe interface. The web browser proves this is possible, but I suspect that much of that browser it not on the Hard Drive, but is integrated circutry and so does not actualy run in RAM. So what teh will needs is a chipset that provides the Runtime Enviroment. Without the proper circutry, the design of the Wii and other consoles are proboly incapable of Java because useing a program like that is just beyond the scope of what they do. It's no longer using somethign in RAM to just tell it how to respond to the controller. With an IC, it could be done, but I am doubtful it would work from the Hard Drive.

Gielinor Tribune: 10th Edition (Oct. 13th) - NEWEST -
Hmmm, I think he did prove himself wrong. Anyways, we are sorry that there was no Interview this time. We do try but it didn't go through in time for this addition. We migth be able to include 2 interviews in our next addition, but no promises, there are other things going on at the moment that may mean that we just let that go. Anyways, it's good to see people still enjoy what were doing. As always we (or at leat myself) had as much fun putting this together as you do reading it. I am also happy to see that the advertisments don't seem to bother people as they help us get publicity else where (we provide ad space for peole who give us ad space in return : )

CAT!@
Don't care much for cats, I don't like being ignored by my pets. If I wanted something that won't come when it's called, i'll get another siberian husky. But, I do know a guy who goes camping and leaves his cat in the house. His cat hates it when he does this because it dosen't like being left alone (more of a being ignored thing than actualy minding being alone). Anyways, the cat used to pee on his camping gear if he didn't put it away rigth away. So I guess he got really fed up with this, and last time she did it, he used the cats to mop up the piss :o . Anyways after licking herself clean the cat decided peeing on camping gear was not the best way to get back at the guy. Thats more of a funny story than usefull, but I guess if you cat pees on something, roll him/her around in it and see if he still wants to pee on that thing. Cats are smart, I think most of them would figure it out after the first time, if not you cat can become walkign furry paper towel.

The British Government's New Law
I'm fairly certain I could. How do you think you would do that? Mike, not many BB guns are used in robberies and you can easily tell if it's a BB gun or a real gun. BS. Unless you can actualy touch the gun, a good toy can easily look just as real as a working gun. The other thing, is if its close and teh first thing someone thinks is "OMG a gun", there going to panic making it very unlikely that they will notice its fake. Sure, you can tell a toy apart when your in a nice calm setting, but when the decision could cost you your life, your gonna belive a lot more things are real guns. If memory serves, the was a police man in Alberta who responded to a domestic desterbince (I think). When he entered the house there was a kid sitign on the floor. The kid pointed his toy gun at the cop (this isen't your orange caped toy, this is shiny plastic high quality immatation type of toy), the cop opened fire on the child in self defence. Now, if a plastic gun could fool a cop, what are the chances you can't rob a store with a BB gun? Heck, you even need to load and [rooster] it. And if I wanted to kill someone with an air rifle of BB gun, I would aim for the side of the head (temples), eyes or general facial area (though thats not likely to be lethal), or the neck (corroted artery is best, then juggular vein followed by throat). An air rifle would have ahigher chance of success, seeing as they can come in pointy pellets and there made of enough lead that one or two inbeded in your body could give you a fatal dose of lead poisoning. Wouldn't kill them fast, but if the pellets aren't removed it could still kill. Also, if the BB gun is at point blank, you can proboly get the shot far enough into the torso to hit major organs. Heart fromt he front, lungs fromt eh side just under ribe cage, aim up maybe 20 degrees. Kidneys, would be just bellow ribs from the back. And liver would be right side, aim level. Also a shot between the [bleep]s of the spine could prove fatal on the higher levels. Are those shots easy or likely to happen? No there not. But if you could make them without interference, they are possible and they are potentily fatal. And no I dont sit around all day thinking up way to kill people with underpowered weapons. I don't think about how to kill people at all (except when I write stuff like this). This is off the top of my head using my knowledge of the layout of major organs.

Spyware/Tracking Bugs on Runescape
He makes it sound like these are traking cookies to see if we go to any gold farming sites. If thats true, then im glad i've never gone to one out of curiosity. I can see why they would do this, and sincce I dont mind all teh other cookies I guess this one dosent bother me either.

Whats the Profitable Part of high lvled <skill>?
Smithing yeilds High profit only if you have the 85 mining to go with it to mine your own rune. Other wise rune ore/bars are very expensive. It shoudl be noted that cannonballs are about 4 times slower to smelt than other things, so while you can turn a profit with them buying the bars (the only way to profit from steel I think), it will take a long time.

Uncyclopedia
Alot of it blows, but the "how to ..." have some pretty good ones. I recomend: -how to de snake a plane -how to wake the dead -how to kill yourself (quite possibly the best) -how to watch TV (dont know if girls would like this one to much) Theres a whole whack of them. Also there "periodic table" links to some of the best stuff on there. Some of the elements link to there element descriptions, but many of them link to other pages (like chuck norris).

Tip.it Times Presents: Co-op or Competitive?
I like both, or even better a combination. Hunting down human prey with a human team, so team multiplayer. Though if I cant have both Id go with co-op.

Im so stupid
My normal policy is if they ask if anyone took there stuff, i'll give it back (unless its really valuble in which case im keeping). If they just stand there and say nothing, than its mine.

Wierd Things That Happen At Your School.
A couple years ago, a kid in my class decided to keep his pet tarantula in teh science room. Anyways they moved it to a bigger fish tank, but didn't have a cover that was big enough. They used saran wrap :-k #-o Any ways, the next morning it was imediatly obvious that the spider had tested his new cage and found the wrap was easily broken. It was found on a teachers phone in a classromm down one floor. Though it only appeared after about 2 hours of hiding. Good times.

Which Gloves?
The rune gloves look better and have better stats so I say go with rune. The cooking ones look weird.

Vb calculator help
It would help if we had the code you wrote, so that the code we right will be formated to it and all you have to do is copy and paste. And if your thinking about including it on a web page your going to want it written in vbscript or better yet javascript. Vb script only works on IE explore, even firefox can't understand it, and since there so simaler always use javascipt. Though if you just want to run this on your pc visual basics fine.

Post your nerve-wrecking, heart pounding, scary rl stories!
A few years ago when my brother was driving me into town, some jack [wagon] cut us off. We were in a little 4-door suzuki sidekick, anyways my brother turned so hard so fast the poor truck tried veary hard to roll over. My brotehr was pissed though, if it hadent been a fairly busy place with traffic I think he would have goten out and shared some of his thoughts about crapy drivers. And I have to admit, doing 140 km/h, in an 80 zone in a 350z (nissan; sweet [wagon] car) is both incredibly fun (accelerating realy fast is always fun), and makes me a little uneasy, though I am sure that car could have surrvived a crash. Still beats his fried who did 150 kph in a suburban area, in a denali.

First tag, now this?
The people who make up these policies would [cabbage] there pants if they ever came to my school. It's canadian and private, so there exempt from many of the dumb [wagon] policies that public schools have. Ya if you were to try and make out in the middel of the hall or a class I can see a problem. I remember kissing wasent allowed in elementry though, had to be carful of that. But were going to raise a generation of kids who dont even know how to shake hands.
