The Dark Lord

Go on... Do you have a picture? I would like to see that.

I believe that rain from the tropical storm system (Agatha) caused the ground to collapse.

Ultimately, society works by one group of individuals strongly influencing the thoughts and behaviors of the vast majority of its inhabitants. In other words, society is strongly anti-intellectual. It corrupts the human being so that the human being will become tame. Intellectuals, on the other hand, typically question society's mores and morals and then make decisions so that they may be tamed. However, one could argue that intellectualism is ultimately dangerous to society because it breeds anarchy.

When holes are at this magnitude, don't they have the ability to suck things in that get too close? I remember reading something about a quarry in Siberia called the Mir Mine. When helicopters fly over it, they can easily get pulled in by the downdraft. Sounds very scary.

Okay, 1.015 trillion was consumed by research. 8.61 billion goes into my space fund, which funds both space colonies and ships (hell, anything related to space). Archi knows what happened with the rest.

But is it safe to assume that our overweight kookaburra is the same size as an average kookaburra? Its a simple question of weight ratios. A 5 ounce bird would not sink into a 1 pound sinkhole. Are you suggesting that kookaburras migrate?

It's me, but we still don't know how that has to do anything with the software that Archi was talking about. :angry:

What? That bit seems a bit random, so I don't think that I'm alone when I ask "What are you talking about?"

Well, I'm assuming that the average fat kookaburra is 15 inches long, 11 inches high, and 11 inches wide, so let's figure out the volume: 1815 cubed inches. Now, we need to figure out how wide and how deep the sinkhole is. According to the article, it says that it is approximately 30 stories deep and 60 feet wide, assuming it is also 60 feet high. How wide is a story in architecture? According to Google, it is approximately 10 feet. 30 stories = 10*30 = 300 feet X 12 = 3600 inches 60 feet = 60 X 12 = 720 inches Volume = 1,866,240,000 cubed inches 1,866,240,000 / 1815 = 1,028,250, rounded up. Roughly 1,028,250 overweight kookaburra's could fit inside the sinkhole. EDIT: I had to readjust my average volume for fat kookaburras because the numbers I was previously using were for underweight kookaburras. Over 10.6 million underweight kookaburras could fit in the sinkhole.

Just imagine... a potential sinkhole could be underneath your feet right now!

Yes. The file size was about 90kb too big. Anyway, someone decreased the size for me, so it's all good.

It's bloody French. It's not nearly as complicated as English and Norwegian are. The only particularly difficult thing about it is pronouncing the words since it's awkward to do so if you speak a Germanic language. Just do the Google Translator trick and call it a lesson. Hell, memorize the translated speech. Also, do you play Runescape? If you do, go play in the French language worlds from now on, at least until you pick up on vocabulary and grammar. :thumbup:

Jeepers Creepers, where did you get those red eyes? Where did you get those fangs?

Get up in front of your class, say "Zut!" then sit back down. When the teacher tells you to quit kidding around and take your exam, shout "Jamais!" defiantly and cross your arms and poke out your bottom lip. To be honest, there's always Google Translator. If you're worried about not knowing what to say, type up your speech and translate to French, study the grammar by looking at the translated text, then try to memorize parts of it. It would help, but it's not entirely honest. Oh, and here's a tip, since English is more related to French than Norwegian is, you should translate English to French in order to make it more accurate.

Oh lawd. I see it now. Nice eyes, Dusty. :thumbup:

Dusty looks at the weirdest things... :shame:

I honestly can't see myself having more than 100 friends on Facebook. Ever. I can understand if you want to add your entire high school so that you can keep in touch with everyone, but honestly... You will only be talking to a few of those people anyway.

Twilight is evil. That's all that needs to be said. I remember seeing a guy wearing a Twilight jacket once, so I guess it turns guys into sparkly vampires, apparently. :unsure:

Everyone just acts cliquish on Facebook, which really gets on my nerves sometimes. Someone will request me to add them as a friend, then they don't respond when I message them or write something on their wall.

[hide] This girl sits next to me in Biology. TURBANTURBANTURBAN[/hide] [hide] :? She's not that annoying in real life, but she floods my feed 24/7. [/hide] This is my Facebook as of late. I changed it to a "USSR communist" theme for the lulz. I am annoyed by people with no sense of humor. [hide=Facebook] [/hide] Fortunately people on my FB page aren't that annoying. Then again, I go out of my way in order to ensure that I don't add complete idiots. To be honest, you could get a friend to do a Nazi thing for a while and post stuff on your facebook pages, for the lulz. Get him to change his profile picture to a picture of Heinrich Himmler or something and troll each other's pages. Guaranteed win. "The more stitches, the less riches." -a Brave New World Yes... People are rather strange sometimes. A lot of people might "care" and make sure that you're happy. On the other hand, the overwhelming majority of people don't care how you feel. It seems like we're torn between empathy and apathy. Learn to fight. If they're just playing with you, then just tell them to back off. I think that's really the best advice I can give you. If they don't back off, kick them in the nuts. I envy you. In the South, all we have right now is sunshine - and lots of it! The temperature has been about 80-100 degrees Fahrenheit, so it's pretty hot outside. I really wish we would get more rain right now (besides the quick summer showers). Then again, we didn't have a very long Spring at all due to the long Winter. I believe that Spring only lasted a few weeks for us. Now we're expecting a drawn out Summer...

I'm not sure where it exactly comes from. I just got it from Google Images by searching "future city". I guess it's kind of bland, but I usually like to keep things simple. It's easier on the eyes for me, which is why the text is slightly translucent (makes it so the picture is the first thing I see, before the text). I guess. It's a bit random, but it's also very simple and easy on my eyes, which are major pluses in my book. ;)

Anyway, I just finished a new signature. Hope I didn't spoil Dusty's signature parodying fun. :( Any comments/compliments/hate mail?

Why would I attack my own ally? EDIT: I see what you did there.

Psh what else is new. -- Go after France :lol: Yeah, not like anyone is allied with him. He's much weaker than he looks. ;)
