Rly? I haven't seen much of the new season, seems like they lost something in transition. I'll have to track down the most recent episode.

Statistics rule yo! ... yeah ... that totally didn't add any meaning to my life

Randomly saw this under new posts, just wanted to say good luck Rach. If you think about it, I bet you could have loads of fun with all the guys who would try and join. :D

I just took another look at the GE. The plate is already down to 14.1m, 52.8% drop in 16 days since its release. Absolutely crazy.

Good lord where have you been? Wait, I'm confused. Where'd that come from? I just went through all my posts looking for bar detergent and got nothin' #-o

It's absolutely weird when you have a dream, wake up, but you're actually in a dream again. When I was little I had one (just once) go through 5-6 scenarios. It was actually pretty fun except none of them involved losing a leg. :thumbup:

I think what they'll have to do from here on out is create item sets that are uniquely useful. What we've got now are general sets that you can use for pretty much anything, they'll need to come up with stuff with unique properties that are great for a couple activities but mediocre for others (like, maybe 2-3 sets of armor especially for slayer; if used when you don't have that monster as a task it's pretty pathetic but otherwise it'd beat out barrows; justify it with magic of w/e).

AWESOME. I am so, so insanely happy to finally find someone else who's seen that series. :thumbsup: // edit // I just read ALIVE! by Tsutomu Takahashi. Awesome 10-chapter psychological thriller. I also thought the style looked somewhat similar; that made perfect sense when I found out Tsutomu Nihei used to be Tsutomu Takahashi's assistant. It's all connected! :mrgreen:

I'm new to this thread, so I'm working off the first post. Feel free to ignore whatever isn't relevant 54 pages later. :thumbup: It also reads a bit randomly, sorry about that... I've always been curious about this bit... [1]In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. [2]Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. [3] And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. [4] God saw that the light was good, and He separated the light from the darkness. [5] God called the light "day," and the darkness he called "night." And there was evening, and there was morningthe first day. Is there a break between verse 1 and 2, or 2 and 3? If there is, Genesis gives God credit for Creation, but does not begin the Seven Days of Creation until the creation of Light, meaning that the base form of the Earth COULD have occurred an insanely long time ago and remained as a lump of rock since. This doesn't solve the starlight problem, or the fact that dinosaur bones are hypothetically buried in rock that would long predate a 6-10K year timeline; in fact it doesn't help at all, and is pretty irrelevant. I've just been thinking over it for awhile. If "technology" to you is Aristotle and Co. pointing out that the shadow cast by the earth during an eclipse was spherical, and then Aristarchus and Eratosthenes gallivanting across 500 miles of desert to compare the angle of shadows in Syene and Alexandria on the Summer Solstice in order to calculate the circumference of the earth, then yes. But from my point of view all technology does is help us test or better analyze what we can first reason to be true. It's a tool, not a magic bullet that gives 100% answers 100% of the time. I'll always subject technology to reason, because that's the only way its useful. When someone says "it was once common sense that the Earth was flat" in an effort to refute the reasonableness (or lack thereof) of Creationism, think about it. A hundred years from now I'm sure many things we consider to be "common knowledge" will be refuted, and then Creationists then might be using that same argument against the acceptance of Evolutionary theory. \

When I was little, (I thought) there was a robotic contraption under the floorboards of my bedroom which would whip out and slaughter me if I (a) slept with any part of my body over or within an inch of the edge of the bed, or (B) had to leave my bed after 10PM for any reason whatsoever. Bathroom trips below the age of six were definitely the most exhilarating events of my life. =D>

PS: I cannot stand Code Geass as an anime or a manga, I have no idea what people see in that series. Also, purely out of curiosity, does anyone else think Ichigo from Bleach is unnervingly similar to Guts from Berserk? From over here it looks like they could be twins separated at birth ... (from reading the manga, haven't seen the Berserk anime yet).

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before, but unless it's been changed again safespots no longer work on the barrows brothers; every few seconds they shift their position and walk around whatever you have them pinned against. Super annoying.

:oops:

I swear we did nothing to instigate this guy, it's all him. :
