In an average living room there are 1,242 objects Chuck Norris could use to kill you, including the room itself. Chuck Norris can set ants on fire with a magnifying glass. At night. It takes Chuck Norris 20 minutes to watch 60 Minutes. ;) Ah, I love these jokes...

Yeah this ship in the bahamas has 4. Ship is over 900 ft long. Ah yes, the Grand Princess. Beautiful ship really, it has a spoiler ;).

Hmm, I can't make out the company, looks like HCL, NCL or mayby even MSC. Its 960 feet long making it farily large as cruise ships go but surprisingly it only has 1 pool. Oh, yea thats not a waterpark, its a 11 meter long pool with 2 jacuzzis behind it; pretty much every cruise ship has one and most have 2 or 3.

My dad learned that in the 50s. As for a true universal language, like it or not, thanks to british colonies and the economic superpower of the United States, English is the accepted international language. Its taught in nearly all Chinese/Japanese schools and most of South America and it's the official language on aviation. In fact last week on a vacation in Columbia I was in a conversation with a Serbian, a Italian, and Columbian and they all spoke english to each other yet none of them are native english speakers...

Wow, I go on vacation check an internet cafe and learn I missed out on all the action. Ebaum's is MASSIVE it gets thousands of visiters a minite but quite frankly thats nothing compared to what there up against If the following is true... Lol, I can't even begin to imagine how massive this is. SomethingAweful is a very loyal tight nit large group, Fark is one of the biggest sites on the net, around 80million hits a day, and GameFAQs? That the biggest message board of all time, if even .1% of its users get involved Ebaum's is in for a few interesting weeks :shock: btw, Eric B. has a 875,000 office and 20 staff members, pretty rich guy now.

I don't recommend any physical action, its a great lesson for your brother and in the long run the "friend" will realize 100k isnt the price of a friend, maybe tell your brother to never talk to the kid again, he'll get the picture). I was hacked myself, I made a thread not to long ago, here's a copy: Well. I donÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t know how else to put it. After three years of RS I was finally hacked. Before you X out of this window thinking that I will go on describing how much I lost and begging for money think again. This is quite possibly the ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¹ÃâfriendliestÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ hacking in RunescapeÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s history. Part One: The Backround Let me back up, a few weeks ago I graduated from High School, I played RS2 once a month or so and RSC every other weekend. Hmm, wait lets back up even moreÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâæ In April I was in Track and one day when I was in the library I walked past two kids I ran with.

What worked for me was doing a goal thats EXTREMLY boring. For example try and get 30 fire making levels. Do nothing but that one task, don't talk to friends, don't go to parties, do nothing. Halfway though you will have spent hours clicking on logs and you need to ask yourself: Is this really worth my time? Also realize that someday you will quit RS and all your work will be gone. So.... why not quit sooner then later? Finally host a party and drop everything of value so you have no incentive to come back. I even know of a guy that did just that then yelled out his password right before he logged off so there really was no turning back ;)

Ah, okay; that makes sence :wink:

The Mayans got lazy, they already made the calendar out for 300 years why bother writing the next 300? They could do that when it was needed or so me thinks. Apophis is an Egyption snake god that lives in the underworld. If you're worried about him then you should also be praying to Horus and Amen-Ra and all those other Egyption gods. :roll: As for the magnetic pole switch, that may happen but I fail to see how we would all die :/ Humans aren't affected by magnetism in any way. I have been in a MRI which is a electromagnic of insane power and I was unaffected. If the weak force of the poles switch how would that kill us? Put a large magnet on your head then switch it's poles. I'm pretty sure you won't die.

Article: Speculation is mounting that Google will this week unveil a no-frills personal computer costing as little as $200 Tuesday January 3, 2006 They built a $123bn business around online text search then diversified into video, email and, more controversially, book publishing. Now Google founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin have set their sights firmly on Microsoft with the expected arrival of a cut-down Google personal computer. Speculation is mounting that Page will use a keynote speech at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas on Friday to unveil details of a low-cost computer or internet-enabled device that will run on a new operating system developed by Google. Because the device - similar in concept to the Mac Mini unveiled last year by Apple's Steve Jobs - doesn't use Microsoft's Windows, it could cost as little as $200. Despite its low price it would enable users to collect and store internet-delivered content such as films, music and photos then show it on TV. According to the LA Times, Google will announce details of the new device at CES, where it could also unveil its partnership with Wal Mart to sell the machines. The report follows comments made by US analysts just before Christmas, suggesting Google would expand into hardware. In a briefing note, Bear Stearns analyst Robert Peck said the US online giant would launch Google Cubes - simple network-based boxes that could link and control home entertainment, computer and automation systems. "In fact, Google could over time become more of a hardware company than anything else," Mr Peck said. The idea of network computing - where dumb terminals connect to a network pulling down applications where necessary - has been around since the early days of the PC, but attempts to successfully pull it off have been stymied by costs and bandwidth limitations. But now that broadband connections are a reality for an increasing number of homes and computer manufacturing costs have fallen, the prospects for a Google-branded device look rosier. While building a low-cost PC is now relatively straightforward - the One Laptop per Child (OLPC) project recently secured a manufacturer for its planned $100 laptop - the question buzzing across blogs today was how Google, in the highly competitive low-margin PC building business, will make any money. One possible scenario is that it will use the device to deliver video and other content accompanied by search-based ads. But with Google shares trading at $415, valuing the company northwards of $123bn, short-term returns are likely to be low down a list of priorities should the predictions turn out to be true. Google declined to discuss the existence or otherwise of the new device, saying only: "We don't comment on rumour and speculation." Come Friday, however, we should all be the wiser. http://media.guardian.co.uk/site/story/ ... ?gusrc=rss :0 The awesomeness that is Google allied with the not-so-awesomeness that is WalMart? A Google OS? Crazy crazies!!

LOL! I love that owl. Hohto, great idea I'm going to post that on Fark as soon as I get the chance ^_^

Well, its 2006 for me (Central US) I actually really liked 2005, maybe because its was(I need to use past tense, lol) my High School graduating year but for one reason or another I honestly really liked 2005 and I was actually quite annoyed when, as the last few minutes were being counted down, the media was talking like "2005 was a disastrous year, thank god it will be over in 5 minutes!" the partner replies "No kidding John, I know no doubt all of us here and all our listeners can't wait for this year to finally come to and end, we all eagerly wait for 2006 which will be MUCH better then this past year" Well 2005, I for one did not eagerly await your passing; thanks for all the great memories and auld lang syne. This one's for you aught five *raises a toast with the remains of his champagne*

I have champane with my family and a few family friends whilst watching the TimesSquare festivitiies. Exciting I know...

We would probably all be dead or still living as nomadic tribes in Africa. Countless plagues have been stopped when people began drinking a wine/water mixture instead of just water strait from a river (alcohol is essentially instant death for bacteria/viruses) Nearly all of Ancient Greece drank this 'wine' for all of there liquid consumption. In diluted amounts alcohol is a great thing. As the joys for getting drunk? Tip.it (a forum devoted to online gaming) doesn't have the amount of the the 'right' sort of people to fully answer that. Personally I loathe people getting "wasted" I love an occasional drink as much as the next guy but I get so when I see these totally hot chicks walking back to their dorm with some ugly fat putz that clearly has no future and they are both totally drunk and on their way to 7th heaven. Then there I am walking back to my dorm with a few other sober guys, essentially alone. Don't these girls realize who there dating? :(

Well they say dolphins and humans are the only species that have intercourse for pleasure. I personally liked the end of the article "They swam away together" :?

Wow, impressive. Last year in track I run a 'decent' 5:10 mile. I was much more proud of my 800 time, 2:08.5 :D Not exactly record breaking but the rush of running neck and neck with the guy in 1st place for the last 50 yards then breaking ahead by an inch in the last foot and getting that time... Gah, I miss those days :wink:

My brother has the Creative MuVo TX FM Has FM, 1 Gig, nice look to. Also the player splits in half, a Lithium battery and a flash drive/MP3 player. Handy if you need to copy files from a computer not at your house... or something like that :/

My name is Trapical, and I'v been RS free for 16 monthes now (ignoring the once a season log on to prevent deletion of the accoun :wink: ) Makes me wonder why I still use these boards and why don't I move onto a forum thats pure OffTopic :/ I guess I know to many people here...

Wow, were getting quite complex, everlasting flames and "nail-bitter" endings ;) Just as were mastering this version they release a New Version released, this one has a wierder slug and zombies in it :/ I shut them both off and mess around with the new effects though: -Sand settles in water -Oil floats -Salt can dissolve in water I actually prefer the original, but this one's fun for a bit if you want a change ^_^

The flat star fox level is awesome. Corneria? Get a samus and link run to the nose of the plane and hold it off with projectiles :wink: Favorite characters would be Young Link (with his projectiles and Lon Lon milk ;)) Mewtwo (foward throw with a wall in front of you looks amazingly awesome) and Kirby (awesomeness that can't be put into words) If the next Gen one had Sqaure on their side including Cloud, Kefka, Sephiroth!?!? *drool*

I've learned that if you want to properly insult somone, make a point, or do anything else that involves people taking you seriously - you can't say things like "spended." *spews coke on his monitor again* Spended?!?! I'm sorry, I know English isn't your first language but thats the funniest word I heard all day. Its supposed to be "spent" by the way. Oh and thats the new quote of the day: "Way to go, you spended all the money!" :D

Does that mean you need to transfer to a school with a med program for your least year of undergrad? Good luck! Nope, I earn my bachelors at Princeton, but I'll technically be in med school. And thank you, I'll need it. As for MCATs, 27/28 is generally considered to be the "cutoff point" for American medical schools. Anything under that and you're going to need some serious luck. Shoot for around a 34/35. (Just so everyone knows, the MCATs are out of 45, 15 for each section. However, unlike the SATs where everyone knows someone who knows someone who got a 1600, a perfect score on the MCAT is damn near impossible. Anything above a 40 and you are almost guaranteed admission to any medical school of your choice.) *spews coke on the monitor* Aim for a 35?!?! Jesus thats high. Average for Johns Hopkins (technically ranked 2nd to Harvard when it comes to Med Schools, but no offence I would take Hopkins any day) is a 32. I saw first hand with both my brothers studying literally all summer how untangible difficult the MCAT is, I read somewhere that only 1 person broke a 40 in last year and no one got a 45 since '97. Shoot for a 35? If I manage that one I'll give you my 7 remaining party hats... heck if you managed that I'd give you them! Best of luck to both of us~ *cheers*

Well to answer the questions I guess I'll have to bring up the Zen again, sorry cj ;) -Zen Micro has many adverts in magezines but they don't have a big marketing budet compared to the golith that is iPod -Next two questions are answered for the same reason, people are practically embarrased to buy/show people their non-Apple MP3 player. -Can you get skins? I'm sure you can, but I never sought one out. There are like a dozen different colors to pick from when you buy it so you obviously like the design and I never really understood the whole "cover my device so the original case stays new." Question: You cover the beautiful white exterior with a cover (sadly some people buy ones which are bulky and not-so-nice looking) so the white stays nice... but you never get to see the white! You will always have the cover on hiding the undamaged interior. :/
