trapical

It's amazing how the average IQ on this forum is about 140, with the lowest IQ ever posted here being 115. Funny thing is, I'm willing to bet the person who posted that was probably the smartest person here. I don't know what it is about forum users that make them honestly believe they have an IQ of over 130. This is in no way directed at you Ugozima, you just happened to be the latest in the perpetual series of threads of posts of people saying they took this test and think they are Mensa material. You may think you are smart, good with computers and math, and you might even have a great SAT score; but you are no genius. Are you graduating from High school at the age of 10? Can you do tell me what the cosine of 27 is without a calculator? Can you tell me what is wrong with the circled section of this Fermilab calculation? That last example was a bit of a joke but I think you get my point. There are people that can do these aforementioned things with ease, and they don't have an IQ of 140. You have an IQ of 145 and honestly don't know if its good or not? I would believe you more if you said you slept with Sarah Palin. My I.Q is 163, but your right it is extremely rare. I would believe you more if you said you killed Sarah Palin last year. Vegeta! What does the scouter say about Roberthree's IQ level? It's over 9000!!!!! What?! 9000?! There's no way that can be right! =D>

Hmmm..... *watches video again* Nope, that's pretty much it :

Hey guys, been a long time since I posted here, sorry about that. Anyway, I know a lot of the users here aren't U.S. citizens but are constantly being battered with election tidbits. Well don't worry! In 3 minutes and you will know all you need to know! Obama (the black one) -Liberal -Change -Change -newbie -Dislikes war -Oh, and Change McCain (the old guy) -Bush's party -Been in the Senate for a long time -war Vet -"war is necessary sometimes" -Old With me so far? Good, now to polish it all off the good folks at JibJab released their two and a half min video of this year's election, a must watch.

I'm always sad when a forum gets updated. Even if its for the better I still end up missing all the things we lost, such as the old style smilies :cry:

Thanks for the thread and front page link Misplaced, everything helps. There are two points I want to add. One, if you can't donate spread awareness. It's as simple as mentioning the fact that malaria is as deadly as AIDS, or the fact that people are starving to death and could be saved from mere pennies. Secondly, don't do charities just for a little while then loose interest. It makes all the difference if you donate a little bit each year for your entire life then to instead just donate a lot this one year and then forget all about it :?

Wow marriage requests, thats a first : Many of you have mentioned that it takes quite some time for you to fall asleep. Simple then: if 7 hours, 30 minutes of sleep is your planned 90 minute interval and you take 20 minites to fall asleep, set your alarm clock to go off in 7 hours and 50 minites. Get it? It's quite simple really. Usually you don't have to worry about this though, as the effectiveness of using the sleep cycles have a diminishing return the longer you sleep. If your sleeping 8 hours a day it won't be that much of a difference when you switch to 7.5 hours. However if your getting less than 4 hours of sleep? If your getting less than 2 hours? Thats when using the 90 minute rule makes a HUGE difference. Hey guys, thanks for all the compliments, and a Merry Christmas to all of you once more. Have fun with your cups :

Merry Christmas TIp.it! For three years now on Christmas Eve I have presented you guys with a gift. Unfortunatly, while this medium doesn't allow me to physically give you guys gifts, I usually find some cool little free web app or game and present it to you guys. This year is a bit different. I just finished a fairly time consuming charity drive here at Tip.it and I am now actually typing this from an Internet CafÃÆÃâÃâé from downtown Waikiki in Hawaii. Therefore, since I don't have my computer, instead of finding a free web app I can present to you guys, I decided to give you guys three random things that you can either use for the rest of your life or at the very least make you smile when you see it. There are three. One for convenience, one for times of stress, and one for happiness. The fist gift, one of convenience, may seem silly at first, but trust me, its useful. Believe It or not I use this skill about once a week ever sine I learned it some 6 months ago. ItÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s something I know a few of you will find helpful I the future at various timesÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâæ It is the skill known as ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¦Ã¢â¬ÅHow to make a cup out of paper!ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬ÃâÃ

Looks like a fun party, but but be warned... the party host gets swamped. Lol. :XD:

Party hall after the 10 mil went in the chest Snow party in Varrok afterwards: Lol, it was amazing. I hate that new party system where the whole server comes. Seconds after I did it I I went outside and just say the wizard hat wielding level 7s sprinting towards the party hall. If I would have known it went server wide I would have done it on World One :XD:

Early. It's now 25 min away

Come on ixfd64, you've been around as long as I have : . I was a merchant in 2003, I worked alongside Chewy Shoe. I had a ton on rares in my bank and their value just kept going up. Also, to BlueLancer and others who have stood up for me in the past few days, I sincerely thank you. :) < 90 minutes left! Click to see what time it would be near you!

My friends ask me why I still visit the tip.it forums. After all, I pretty much quit Runescape three years ago. Why do I still come to these forums? The people. The people here are unbelievable. I post a simple 200k give away, hoping to raise malarial awareness and maybe get a donation of two. Instead I got a deluge of caring, heartwarming people approaching me from everywhere. My forum inbox? Maxed. My thread? Out of control. My Runescape clan chat? As bad as a Varrok market. My Runescape PMs? Well, letÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s just say I donÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t envy Zezima :P I suppose I should explain myself before I get to far ahead of myself. As many of you may know I had a thread here two days ago about asking people to donate to charities in general, specifically charities that fought Malaria. I got a bit wrapped up in it all unfortunately and overstepped my RS legal bounds by infringing on Rule 12, aka RWT. I accept that and let it be known to anyone reading that I AM NO LONGER GIVING RS GOLD FOR DONATIONS. I also apologize to the tip.it staff for putting them in the awkward position to debate amongst themselves on whether or not to delete my post. I would see this as a difficult position to rightfully take and one that would not make many friends around here, yet they did what is right and I thank them for having the courage to do so. Now, onto the happy news :D. How much money did we as a forum raise in 24 hours? Many were surprised when I said we raised over $1,000. Most were baffled when I said we broke $1,600. Well how much did we raise? IÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ll let you see for yourself... [hide=click text]$2,853.57[/hide] Yes ladies and gentleman, two thousand, eight hundred fifty three and fifty seven cents. In one day. Wow, I donÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t even know what to say. I mean, I have been getting PM after PM from people saying they broke into tears after hearing of my plan or after they donated, but IÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢ll admit it guys, IÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢m crying right now. We made over 2,800 dollars between us, just us tip.it folk. We saved an entire village. We saved more people then were killed on September 11th. Just this little forum called tip.it. I would like to share some quotes from PMs I have received ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¦Ã¢â¬ÅHi, IÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢m only 11 but I want to help. I canÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢t give money but I can give you my life RS saving of 60k. You can use it get more people and save AfricaÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬ÃâÃ

A kiss that wasn't a goodbye or farewell to a family friend? Never. Sure I kiss my parents goodbye on the cheek or do that French mafia like kiss where you kiis the left cheek, right cheek, left cheek as a part of a greeting to someone you know... but an actual kiss on the lips? A romantic kiss? Still waiting. /20, Pre-med if anyone's interested :XD:

Hey guys, itÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s been a while since I posted and I apologize for that, been pretty hectic in my neck of the woods. Anyway, IÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢m just curious if any of you (besides the late Bubsa) actively donate to any charities, this being the Christmas season and all IÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢m wondering how much a typical person in high school or college gives. I also want to put in a shameless plug to my thread on general, a huge fund raiser of which the basis of it started on this board in June with my Malaria, killer of men. thread from my ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¦Ã¢â¬Åten days ten threadsÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬ÃâÃ

I vote Facebook. Myspace - Anyone can see your profile - No one has their real name - Girls seems to love making the entire page bright pink with huge green font sizes and yellow stripes. I can't read half the pages without having to highlight the text boxes - It's full of 10 year olds. Facebook - Solid, uniform colors that go well together - Private. Only people I know personally are allowed to view my page. - Organized and uniformed. If someone mentions a guy who I recognize the name of, I can see his profile picture and graduating year. It all acts like a modern, useful phone book. By the way, facebook has gotten a lot worse then it was in 2005. Those who just got it have no idea. Before there were no custom apps so there were none of these annoying "so and so has rated you! Add this app to see what he said" or "so and so has asked you a question, click here to answer it!" Also, back in the day you could only use .edu email addresses. Only people in college were allowed. Period. None of these high school punks flooding the place with their profiles. I know you guys in high school right now are like "hey, were just as mature! Don't be so arrogant!" but trust me... You know how you view middle schoolers or 5th graders right now? Yea, those people are high schoolers when you get to college. :P

Yea, and until you changed your avy I had this mental picture of you being this puppy :XD: . Gotta love the avatar/name associations

Found two more that are pretty dandy. I just like the sign in this first one, it was at the top of waterfall me and my brother climbed, apparently they didn't want us to go past the zone they dedicated safe :( And for this next one, what, can I say, I know some people :-w (photoshop ftw) \

Don't feel bad, no one's commented mine either. I guess they're afraid of the tiny white chick. lol Heh, I found it cute that your avatar nearly matches the first picture you posted: :

Lol, thanks for the compliments guys . I should take notes of who is offering their hospitality so if a "Bourne Identity" situation ever happens to me and I find myself in some foreign city with nothing but the cloths on my back I can just move from one of your houses to the other and hop around the globe.

Your second pic screams college to me..staring at a computer screen, thinking hard..with a cup of easy mac..ftw :D Oh, it's even better. Notice what is sticking out of the EasyMac cup? A cooking spatula. I was too lazy to clean off a spoon or fork and found one of those in my drawer :XD:

Hippomchippo, I like what you did with your hair in that picture. I love long hair 99% of the time but I think jet black and [bleep]y works absolutely fantastic with a petite frame. *blinks* Wow, I can honesty say that's a first. Never been complimented on my nose before : The pictures? Well certainly the tropical one isn't from here, thats from Acapulco, Mexico. The other one is from my apartment, somewhere on the GreenBay side of Wisconsin is as exact as I'll disclose. : how much snow do you guys have up north, we got 7" down here in milwaukee We seem to be getting 2 to 3 inches a day. On that big day last weekend we got 14 inches. [/hide] :shock: :shock: :o wow you are gorgeous AND smart... *faints* you're the rare type :P Yay, ego boost for the day! ...if only the girls in my college had the same viewpoint... :-k

The pictures? Well certainly the tropical one isn't from here, thats from Acapulco, Mexico. The other one is from my apartment, somewhere on the GreenBay side of Wisconsin is as exact as I'll disclose. :

That's a nice smile Lady Shahdie. Well suppose it's my turn now huh? The first picture is the one I usually show to people online, some went as far as to dub it "tropical trapical" Unfortunately that picture is like 4 years old now. Here is a much more present version of trapical. It is finals week, notice the unshaven face, half eaten cup of EasyMac, novelty dog tags from Hardee's, and the fact that I'm wearing my pajama's and its now 3pm. Welcome to college life everyone! \ Something to look forward too!

Yea, see that's only if your stupid and buy things that aren't on sale that day. Personally I picked up one of these babies: It came with a reader for a total of $29 from a local Staples. On the SanDisk site it sells for $159. Yea so I bought it for about 100 dollars under retail, the only reason it was so cheap is they hoped to use it to lure me into the store and buy other things. Naturally I just bought this and went back home... stores hate shoppers like me :XD:

I find it very interesting to read this thread. The people here are split between new players and old timers in almost the same way as real life is split between the young and the old. If someone here says "I can't respect a level 60, I have been playing since 2001" then a younger player is quick to snap back with a "no one cares about the past, stop reminiscing". It's almost a to-the-letter snapshot of what occurs in RL culturally between today's teenagers and their parents. I don't know if the editor planned this or anything, but it's genius.
