Should Tip.it limit/censor what people can say?
A new challenger approaches. Oh god no, - a hard line approach like that nearly killed tif in 2004, Delete is a naughty tool for mods to use. We have a no delete policy. I've always felt we should be less of a hardass and more customer support like. Views on updates shall not ever be limited speechwise here, such of an idea goes agaisnt my core beliefs and i'd walk before imposing "Speech rules" - this isn't 1984 kids, or scapeboard. as long as people are offensive idiots and curse like sailors or the sort, i'm fine with people pissing on new updates, because you know what i say. "WE PAY, WE PK" from 2001-2003 - Tip.it had very interactive and engaged moderators and rose to the top, from 2004 onward for awhile it was bloody horrible I've been here since 2001 Before RSC there was rsnewera and to a degree camelot, though more really for high levels and not clans, tip.it was the mecca from 01-03 really. Pre Scapeboard. If you feel a post has been removed unfairly on this thread - please let me know and i'll investigate it personally.

What animal your own weight can you beat in barehand combat
in my view this isn't about pushing over a sheep or fighting a weaker animal your weight, it's about fighting an animal that has a chance to maim you (maybe not kill you, but could) that you might could beat, but you may lose a limb.

What animal your own weight can you beat in barehand combat
just remember, you'd have to fight the fish in the water, you'd be better off fighting a large dog over a marlin with a sword attached to it.. That being said, this worked better on my forum where we were alll 200+ LoL.

What animal your own weight can you beat in barehand combat
I'm not expecting people to wrestle a boar, bear or tiger, thats stupid, But what about a baby giraffe? a doe deer? a pissed off chicken? turkey? maybe a cow? Ostrich? I'd wager half of tip.it is out of shape, myself included, but some of us might of taken some karate - a 12 year old boy killed a boxer dog with a jujitsu hold Most animals would be deadly foes - while i disagree tools are our advantage, lets just use a machine gun - i think this is Darwinism at it's finest i mean i think i could take an emu or a llama easily enough in a ring., would i punch it? No, but maybe i could grab it's neck or mount it from behind and put it in a hold..

RE: Mental Challenge: Systemic Circulation!
Oxygenated blood leaves the lungs and enters the Left Atrium (LA) of the heart via the pulmonary veins. This oxygenated blood is then pumped from the Left Atrium (LA) of the heart to the Left Ventricle (LV) of the heart, and then out of the heart to the body tissues via the aorta, which is the major artery leaving the heart. The aorta divides into other arteries that serve different parts of the body (as mentioned on the page about the structure of the heart). These can be separated into two categories: blood supply to the upper-body, and blood supply to the lower-body. Blood Supply to the Upper-Body: The aorta leads to the subclavian arteries that take blood to the arms (some of which eventually reaches the hands), and also to the carotid artery that carries blood to the head. Blood Supply to the Lower-Body: The aorta also leads to the hepatic artery that carries blood to the liver, the mesenteric artery that carries blood to the small intestines, the renal arteries that carry blood to the kidneys, and the iliac arteries that carry blood to the legs (some of which eventually reaches the feet.). Deoxygenated Blood Blood is deoxygenated when it leaves the tissues and organs it has supplied with oxygen and other nutrients, to return back to the pulmonary circulatory system. This can also be summarised for the upper-body and lower-body separately: Return of Blood from the Upper-Body: Blood returns from the head via the jugular veins, and from the arms via the subclavian veins. All of the blood in the major veins of the upper body flows into the superior vena cava, which returns the blood to the right ventricle of the heart. Return of Blood from the Lower-Body: Blood returns from the small intestines by passing through the hepatic portal vein to the liver. Blood returns from the liver via the hepatic vein, from the kidneys via the renal veins, and from the legs via the iliac veins. All of the blood in the major veins of the lower body flows into the inferior vena cava, which returns the blood to the right ventricle of the heart. After re-entering the (right atrium of the) heart via the superior vena cava and the inferior vena cava, deoxygenated blood is pumped into the right ventricle of the heart and then out of the heart to the lungs via the pulmonary artery. Deoxygenated blood enters the lungs and is oxygenated before leaving the lungs (as oxygenated blood), and so the cycle begins again ... right?

Cost to Stats table/guide
Purple party hat costs more than neiz because it"s better dragon battleaxe costs more than dds because it's better. Bandos GDS > Whip? not in my book Sometimes you can put wayyyyyy too much numbers to things, and in a dice roll game, i dont think "cost ratios" to armors is going to be a "smart" guide to keep updated.

Kepler Telescope finds Earthlike planet
This post made me think of this video at the end of the post Carl Sagan would of shed a tear at this discovery today. I hope we for one, are not alone "How lucky we are - to live in this time, the first moment of human history when we are infact visiting other worlds" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSgiXGELjbc

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer autographs a student's mac laptop
It wouldn't go for as much as you think. At most i'd wager if he signed an 8x10 it would be a $20-40 item tops - however the signature going over the apple and stuff is far from "mint" due to the light ink levels and that in my view hurts the value of the item. While i'm pretty sure the ink will keep on the actual case (Although the first line in his S makes me doubtful) the apple symbol is probably made of material that won't hold the ink over time. It's a nice example of a balmer sig - although he is consistant, you're not going to see "Rushed" in persons with him as you do with ford, megan fox and the sort. The problem is - if you were to sell that - it's on an expensive piece of hardware that if you use it - will probably damage the signature - if it hit ebay now - i'd except it to fetch $200-500 tops. Thats probably worth less than the macbook - but upon seeing the image and the signatures condition it's not an item i'd feel comfortable buying!

This isn't trivial, it's full of win. It was supposed to be a joke :/ And it's been deemed topic-worthy. :roll: 'cause Das got the first post...? I don't get it >.> Topic might turn into an autograph thread or something, never know.

Heck of a signature, he's pretty reclusive and tough to get if you do business esque autographs

User reputation
my main reason i disagree is good posts should be taken by the content and not judged by a star, i also feel that good posters have the reputation, i remember in 2002 i'd always read a post by a bluerose or a rab. Quality posters meant quality reading. I didn't need a guide to find them. Plus it may encourage elitism.
