Necromagus

I was woken by my dad at 2pm, telling me to clean my room... someone definiately has it out for me today...

It was certainly an entertaining match, it could just as easily have been 6-0 or 3-3.

The person who wrote this is obviously ignorant, but I don't think you're doing yourself any favours by taking this too seriously :?

October 19th, sunday child >.>

Lordi - Blood Red Sandman

Huntelaar wasn't in because we needed his two goals to beat Ukraine in the finals of the European Championship for <21 teams :D (3-0) Anyway, I think Australia got off lucky with the penalty and the huge number of oppertunities Holland got for 2-0/2-1. Also, the match was quite physical for a friendly match :?

I'll be a poor student by the time the next two consoles hit the market, although I might consider getting a Wii...

*BBcode :P It's not that hard, most of it is basically html with []s in stead of <>s. Of course you can always use the Firefox BBCode extension to automatically format your post :)

Well if you're looking to sell graphics for RS items or gold, I'm afraid JAGeX has decided to crack down on that practice so this forum's media market is closed. As for real life money, I think you should ask the admins. There's nothing specific on that in the rules, except for 'no rs items for rl money' being enforced as part of the JAGeX rules. I really doubt this would be a good board to sell your work though, you'd probably be better off looking for a board which focuses on graphic design alone. In that case, Google is your friend :)

The article, because Godslayer messed up his BBCode :wink: Anyway, I guess the fact that Greenpeace has press releases 'formated' like this has always been a bit obvious, considering their methods and goals. In fact, it's not very uncommon for any organisation or group to have templates for official documents. It just makes it easier to put them out. Their fault for not paying attention this time around though :?.

During the initial hype following the introduction of Construction, I managed to make enough money off selling oak logs to buy the big bones I need for lvl 43 prayer. Now I built my prayer level on burying the bones of the goblins I ranged. Every time my inventory was full, I'd pause to bury the bones, and every third, fourth or fifth time I'd get a random event, and always the moment I buried the first bone of a full inventory. I'd like to know the random event ratio for burying big bones directly from the bank. Also, does the fact that I'm burying big bones in stead of normal bones alter the amount or 'quality' of random events in any way? (As in drill demon in stead of drunken dwarf, freaky forester in stead of mysterious old man).

Yeah, decided that I might as well catch up with the new limits. It's based on an old piece I had lying around, although it was rebuilt pretty much from the ground up. *points to sig*

I haven't really listened to Queen enough to be able to give a list of favourite songs. Who Wants to Live Forever would definiately be my #1, although after hearing a cover of it as a duet I really don't think Queen did it justice.

Y'know, I think this just might be topic #666 on the subject...

Spongebob can be funny, although I don't actively watch it. I generally pause for a few minutes when I pass it while flipping the channels though.

Well that was a spectacular response :|

I found a mailorder catalogue that has all their albums up to 2005 for ÃÆââââ¬Ã¡Ãâì9,95 each (the catalogue was released before Eurovision) so I've bought the first two ^_^.

Yes, and the Qur'an says something else, so does the Zend Avesta, and so do the Eddas. Just because it's written down doesn't mean it's true. If you want to prove the existence of a god, you'll have to come up with something better than "it's written down in this book so it's true".

I mostly dislike heat. Delivering mail becomes a lot harder if it's 35 degrees...

The problem here is that it's unknown whether or not sequence matters. Would ABB be considered the same as BAB and BBA?

Maybe there should be one stickied "Movie Collection" thread to avoid repetition...

Dr. Strangelove is effective in using humour to get it's message about the idiocy of the nuclear arms race across, but for sheer brutality the movie you'll want to see is Threads. It's a pretty hard to find BBC TV movie based on studies by the British ministery of defense on the attack of a direct nuclear assault on the British isles. Everything is followed through the eyes of a pregnant woman. When the attacks finally hit, Britain sustains 29 million instant casualties, 7 million imminently fatal injuries and come out with 19 million short term survivors. And then it gets worse. Every preperation made, every bomb shelter build, every food storage, it's all proven useless. The emergency governement is completely cut off from the rest of the country, and complete and utter anarchy breaks out. The burned, irradiated, blubbering survivors struggle to scrape together what little food they can. Without instruction to do otherwise, the surviving governement troops open fire on anyone trying to get to governement food storages. There is no water, no heating, no fuel. All farming equipment is rendered useless. As nuclear winter sets in, humanity is reduced to a scrabbling, scarred mass trying desperately to survive. Not for the hope of a better future but simply because the endlessly hopeless and painful quest for survival, no matter how momentary, is all they know now. Then, a few years later, Ruth, the pregnant woman through whom we've been following the story, collapses and dies while working on the land. The last shot of her face shows a 30 year old woman looking three times her age. Her daughter, with nobody left who'll look after her, has no choice but to band up with a pair of boys. The trio spends their days scavenging, communicating through a primitive perversion of English simply because that's all they need to survive in post-nuclear Britain. Finally Ruth's daughter is raped by one of her companions, and she is forced to abandon them. She makes her way to a makeshift hospital, and on a bed that's little more than just rusted springs she gives birth to the result of years of radiation targeted directly at her ovaries. As a nurse hands her the little bundle of radiation mutant, she breathes in one deep gasp of air for a scream and the screen freezes before she can expel it. This is the lasting image Threads leaves us with.

The Dutch high school system is more tiered than the American system. After elementary school, you either go to VMBO (which is then split up in theory or practice) which is most directly aimed at practical work, welding, carpentry, that sort of stuff. It's a four year education. Then there's HAVO, which is five years. It's more theory based than VMBO. After HAVO the students usually take a two or three year MBO or HBO course which prepares them for more educated jobs like management or elementary school education. Finally there's VWO, which prepares students for university. It's six years. This is the most theory oriented study of all. At the beginning of the fourth year each student chooses a set of courses that manages one of four general directions: culture, economics, health care or engineering. The school I attended is called a Gymnasium. It's basically a VWO, but with the option to take Greek and or Latin. You have to take at least one up to your sixth year, the other can be taken as an optional class. In addition to the classical languages, we also had a course that replaced the 'regular' culture studies course all high school students take with a course that's more focused on classical art and culture. The course ends in the fifth year with a week long field trip to Rome. Over all, our school is very focused on supporting students with special needs. Last year, a blind girl graduated even though a lot of the school books she needed weren't available in braille. There's also help for dyslexic students or students who have concentration problems. There's also a lot of extracurricular stuff. Our debate club recently won the national tournament, and there are a lot of programmes you can participate in if you have the time and high enough grades, like following a doctor in a hospital for a day. There's also a lot of pressure to perform though, mostly because our school is pretty much the highest level of high school available in our country. You can only go down. Most other high schools offer multiple levels at the same time, so if you'd fail a year at HAVO you can just drop down to VMBO without leaving the school. At our school you can fail a year twice, but most students choose to leave the school entirely after that.

Meh, even if the rumours that Sony might be planning to go through with this were true at some point, they definiately won't do it now. Every company knows that the availability of second hand games is an important way for gamers with limited budgets to use their concoles. It's brand expansion even if they don't profit from second hand sales directly. I don't think I would enjoy my Gamecube nearly as much if I couldn't occasionally pick up an 'old' game like Eternal Darkness for ÃÆââââ¬Ã¡Ãâì5.

Saying the old testament is in any way irrelevant means you should also stop using Leviticus against homosexuality. Futhermore, stuff like Paul's directions on how to treat women are hardly any better than that. Anyway, this isn't about the bible. My point is: A very good friend of our family was diagnosed with a deadly muscle disease in her late thirties that caused her muscle tissue to waste away slowly. At first she lost power in her hands and fingers, then she began losing the use of her limbs entirely, and it only got more ugly from there on out. She was a loving wife and the mother of two daughters. Everyone had to endure that at a certain point she had no choice but to wear diapers, because she could no longer control the muscles that regulated those processes. At that point she had decided it was enough. I can't recall exactly how far the disease had progressed before she chose for euthenesia, but thanks to sensible Dutch euthenesia laws her family didn't have to watch as she died a slow and painful death. However, according to you, she should have died that slow and painful death. Her whole family should have watched as her heart slowly gave out and the muscles in her chest stopped her from breathing anymore. Every day for months she would have to live with nothing but that day to look forward to. And all because some god she doesn't believe in supposedly helped write a book thousands of years ago that gave some vague lines on bodies and temples. Her husband once kicked a guy down two flights of stairs because someone told him his wife was in hell and he would join her. Frankly, I wouldn't have stopped at the end of those stairs. If I were a god and I had decided that a person's body would be my temple, I'd rather have them abandon that temple while it's still a functioning vessel than when it's rundown and useless. Besides, does the biblical god really care about the lives of non-Christians? The endless line of divine massacres big and small certainly suggests otherwise...
