At the end of the day I have a lovely flower...thats about it...There is no real challange there...Sure it might take a vigarous regime to keep it alive, but once I had a routine its just another thing to do during the day...like washing... As above Unlikely, trials were carried out in the 1980s on animals, and the researcher was subsquently arrested and tried for unethical conduct. A few developments have grown up over the past few years with Uterine Transplants, but it will go one of two ways: It will be mega expensive(as transplants generally are) which will mean it is near impossible for me to do. It will be mega cheap, which means that it will be the 'rad thing' to do. Not such a bad thing for me, but the millions of unwanted children created just so guys can feel what it is like, is kinda depressing... And how does that involve me getting pregnant.... It completely misses the point I am driving at. Casualties: 80,000 Total Cost of South African Attack: 16,200,000,000 Treasury: 122,532,000,000 Infrastructure: 2.3

Lack of abs, check. Not really a long term commitment.... Actually I am not a bad botanist, so its not really 'have a shot' .... There are, but it carries risks so significant that it is not allowed... Kind misses the point entirely...

Sounds like a plan: Kidnap a really amazing woman, and put her in a room with a door that can be kicked through. Invite Rocco round to shoot up a room full of aliens. Shoot Rocco in both knees and then go 'You da man' Then close a door and wait for him to kick through it, thus rescuing the woman.

Britian wasn't in Nam :rolleyes: And I don't think I am old enough. I would probably say something along the lines of: 'I am a Father...There can be no greater example of Manhood than to sacrifice for his children.' Anyway, lets get off the topic, although I love thinking about what could be, the chances of it actually being are small...thus assigning myself to the depths of depression, I solider on with Hegemony.

Dude, even if you were able to become pregnant, where/how would the kids come out? I'm pretty sure imagining that would stop you from blaming evolution. Either way you can still adopt, which would save you/your parter and possibly the kid from pain. Wow, never imagined I'd ever say this to a tip.it mod. I would much prefer to go through some unending pain, so that I could have the minor respites of joy of carrying new life inside me...Additionally I do not wish for my child to be randomly slaughtered by whomever is carrying it because of complicated hormones or a career or whatever other pathetic(really, they are, compared to child birth) reasons. Aside from that a C-section is a fairly common medical procedure. Adoption isn't really something I want to do...For the first part I think I am more in the 'I want to create life' not 'I want to look after life' phase. For the second part, unless I had genetic lineage, I would feel uncomfortable instructing the child in the ways of the world....really, what right have I to do so? (It should have come across by now that I am not orthodox, so...)

Ok.... Glorious Argentina 'officially' commences production on new lines of: Not sure how useful Giant Enemy Crabs are...Or how to produce Burning Bible Flags, without first creating a Bible Flag... Also, how are you planing to produce a new line of population? Although, pregnacy drugs in the coffee might do it. On an unrelated note, Men should be able to have children! I am feeling so paternal right now!!! BAH!!!!!! Although, its probably a slightly good thing, since I have a lot to be getting on with, and child carrying and birth would probably get in the way. That said I WANT KIDS!!! (Sorry to rant, its this or ranting at the only person I would think about 'making kids' with, which wouldn't really be fair on them, since they can't have kids either...)

=7^2-(5*6^0.5)^2 Its known as the difference between two squares: If: 7=a 5*6^.5=b Then (a-b )*(a+b ) Which equates to: (aa+ab)-(ba*bb) ab=ba, thus cancel each other out So aa-bb So a^2-b^2

We used to have BODMAS....Brackets, pOwers, Division, Multiplication, Addition, Subtration. As well as POP-DAM...Parenthesis, Orders, Products, Divisions, Additions and Minus. As well as pocket calculators....though, personally, I use a spreadsheet...its better that the computer knows the rules rather than remembering some silly Mnemonic...

Also, I will just say this now...If I don't get your technology then it doesn't work. If I say that it can't be used in way X then it can't be used in way X. This is not the real world, this is a game, games to not have 'Super Kill' weapons. So get my approval BEFORE you launch your all or nothing attack.

PLAN THIS IS NOT VIABLE CURRENTLY Vote will be added shortly. [hide=FTL Wonder] Wonder: The Institute for Faster Than Light(FTL) Research Time: 120 years Bonus: Halves FTL drive Research Time for the owner. Cost: 30 Trillion Speeding up: Each country that gets involved will subtract 10 years from the project. Notes: Allows the research of the six main FTL drives FOR ALL COUNTRIES, all methods take 40 years and cost 5 trillion each. Description: The Institute conducts research into six potential faster than light modes of transport. Ships can only be fitted with one type of FTL drive...Excepting Stargates, which can be used by any ship. Please note the map will be 1000*1000, with 1410 diagonally. Also note that there are alot of stars...However colonies will still cost a lot. http://users.aber.ac.uk/lug9/hege/hegemony/starmap.pdf Map is obvouisly stolen. Earth is around 150,150. It is named Sol... Warp Drive- For people who don't like science and crap like that. Research increases speed and range. Starting Speed: 10 per Hour. Max Speed: 100 per Hour. No Ship Limit Starting Range: 100 Max Range: 1,500 Tachyon Jump Gates- The Tachyon Jump Gate converts the ship into Tachyon Matter by applying massive charge. Depending on how massive this charge is, the ship will shoot across space at massive speeds(Instant travel), before decaying back into normal matter. Best of all there are no limits, you can fire your ships across the universe and have a small chance of seeing them again. The ships have ever increasing chances of disintergrating as distances grow. Research decreases chance and lowers the Max Chance. Range to Chance of Disintergration: 10 = 20% Max chance of Disintergate: 99% Flicker Drive- Inertia-less transport. Taking millions of tiny teleports every second, the ship moves through space at a pretty slow rate. Research improves speed, but also makes it possible to 'phase' through some projectile weapons. Energy weapons are uneffected. Starting Speed: 15 per Hour. Max Speed: 80 per Hour. No Ship Limit Starting Range: 50 Max Range: 1,000 Holtzman Effect- You are gonna need alot of Spice...Instantous travel across space, at a cost. The 'Engine' is a massive EMP generator, generating such a massive electro-magnetic pulse that it tears a hole between dimensions. The journey then needs to be carefully managed by so called 'Psion', as the entire ship's electrical system will be offline for the duration of the flight. The Psion will guide the ship using mechanical means, so that it will then exit the space between dimentions at the right place to reach it's destination. Psions are made Psions by ingesting small amounts of Spice, which costs a lot to produce, research can bring this cost down. Cost per unit: 20 Billion StarGates- These massive, 50 Trillion a peice, Stargates, will permenantly link one system to another system, with instantanous travel. However, because of the instability and power requirements there is a limit to how many ships can be sent through in any given year, fortunately these ships can be any length, but must be less than 200 meters wide. Obvouisly deploying the Star Gate can also take a long time. Ship limit: 10 ships per Star Gate. Max Ship Limit: 50 per Star Gate. Starting Range: 200 Max Range: 1,000 Zero-Temporal Transit(ZTT) Drive- Sort of a cross between Stargates and Flicker Drives. This drive makes a series of 'Swallows' in which it flies into a wormhole which it generates. The Swallow will only take them a few units and it takes some hours to cool down for the next swallow. Starting Distance: 10 units (2 per Hour) Starting Cool Down: 5 hour. Max Distance: 50 Max Cool Down: 20 minutes. (150 per Hour)[/hide]

Mather stop suggesting rubbish. If you are in a battlefield situation trying to walk around with a bb gun, carefully trying not to break it or get it wet, and hoping that your 500 shots will make up for the weakness of the gun....Then your entire army are doomed.

Powergrid doesn't count. Biodome research will allow you to build cities on the sea bed at a cost of 1.5 trillion(1 trillion is the cost of cities on the surface). Building in the ocean will take longer. Building in space(That is not in orbit or just randomly 'in space') will cost whatever the space mission costs(to be worked out later) plus 1.5 trillion, and I will provide the map...Will take a couple of years to get there and may fail before it arrives. It counts.
