  1. Animals. *giggle* *Scared*
  2. What do you work with Wals?
  3. It's quite possible that the psychic was coldreading the policeofficer while travelling. He might've paid extra attention to that house, and she noticed. *Shrug* Also, four days, in a shallow grave? Might've started smelling.
  4. I don't know about Alan, but I'd close my curtains and tear out my webcam from the computer.
  5. Yeah, time and time again, he's not even the best spoonbender anymore. I could recommend the Skeptics Guide to the Universe podcast if you want something to listen to, they routinely explain how most tricks are usually done and they also have alot of interviews with magicians that have alot of knowhow. Mostly geekery going on though. Sylvia Brown had a major miss where she predicted that Amanda Berry was dead and drowned, causing her mother to stop searching for her. Has'nt stopped her one bit though, and it is'nt the first major miss she's had either. So it also causes alot of harm in some cases.
  6. Well, there is no plausible way for it to work to start with. Then there is the fact that there are ways to do it without any supernatural/paranormal influences, entertainers from all around the world has been doing these things for centuries, if not millenia. The numerous cases you talk about are badly done tests, and completely uncontrolled (There are no measures to make sure they did'nt have any prior knowledge, for instance), there have been many tests done on psychics over the world and none have stood up to the challenge. They are fraudsters and I seriously doubt there will ever be any proof of any paranomal claim done by anyone, and I think they are immoral people - especially the ones that claim to be able to talk to the dead, and interfere with the normal grieving process.
  7. Or she witnessed it. A million dollars says she can't replicate anything similar to this, and I predict, if she does'nt go to jail herself, that she will ride this to her own fame and fortune - whilst phoning in tips to the police that waste manpower and resources investigating her claims.
  8. Audiophile, need I say more? =) He bought it in the early 90's aswell, when it was on "sale". He's spent thousands of dollars on his amps and speakers. I'm hearing impaired, so I probably can't tell the difference between CD and LP if there was'nt dirt on the vinyl. Still, recording vinyls for neighbours and friends parents gives me some pocketchange and I get to listen to (mostly) ****ty music. Edit; Now that I thought about it, my father nearly got an heartattack.
  9. I can't say it any other way than aluminium, since Swedish also use the correct spelling of the name. You also left out the classics, colour and armour. On an unrelated note, I think I just avoided a minor heartattack when the new cat jumped ontop of my fathers LP player... Had he broken it, I'd... get broken myself. And broke too. Frickin two thousand dollar pick-up. :S
  10. I'm more interested in the way Deep Silver/Koch Media is suddenly popping up constantly on my radar, first with the saints row/volition business, this and probably a few things I'm forgetting. I think they handle Planetside 2 EU accounts too, right? Funny how they use "publisher" in the articles title for what is essentially a distribution deal.
  11. Thank you kindly. My bedroom window faces the other direction, the picture is facing straight south, so you get awesome sunsets over the water. In the other direction there are some fields, hills and trees, I can't actually see the other lake that is in that direction. Sunsets at the jetty/dock with a beer are pure win though. The downside is that this house is built in the early 1800's, and the quality is ... uh... well, kind of good after standing for 200 years - but there isn't a straight line anywhere. ^^
  12. Sorry, I did'nt know that. I've learned English from my Canadian relatives, TCC, Ultima V and Test Drive - so it's a horrible mix of different sources of influence. When I started learning English at school the teachers ignored me, just because I had a basic grasp of the language, so I had to make do. Yeti? Well... My uncle does sometimes go skinny dipping. That's got to be close enough to a missing link. And far, far more terrifying... And there are hills around here. http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f220/Azdeus/DSC00115.jpg Some yankee bastard bought most of the forest on the other side and proceeded to clearcut it, you can see the beginnings of it in the image. He bought it, clearcut it, then sold it again. If I had a gun... I've not even seen a fox here otherwise, we've got moose though. Lots of them. And deer. Scary stuff!
  13. Here in Sweden, when it comes to sewage water treatment, you don't even have to hook it up to a treatment plant. I know this due to rebuilding/restoration efforts. My septic tank has a drainage for the urine/feces-water just goes into the ground. If you don't live in the mountains, the sand and soil will deal with that and you get a truck to take care of the more solid things. This obviously does'nt cover diapers or plasticbags ofcourse, but the least of your worries is the feces. Anyway, something that annoys me is the flourecent lightbulbs and LED power saving lights that are around nowadays, and the normal lightbulbs are just plain gone. I hate the type of light that comes from flourecent lightbulbs, not to mention that they take forever to light up. And I don't save any money from them during the wintertimes, since I have eletrical heating in my house. I'll agree with the scaretactics, it's annoying to all hells, especially when you concider that scared straight efforts does'nt work. It took me 5 minutes to remember the word feces... :<
  14. Doesn't sound too bad actually.... Hey that reminds me I have an actual picture of my office where I work. My desk is on the bottom, right corner. Yeah, its always a little chaotic on Mondays. Hey, looking at that picture Woldan, and your testing of waterboarding, are'nt you going to test breaking wheels and give us your opinion of those? =P
  15. Sweet! That's going to keep me entertained until Wasteland 2. Played alot of Misery, and it was a great mod. The only thing I miss from the Stalker games are other maps, or bigger overall. I've been everywhere on those maps by now.
  16. Hahaha! Only in Brittain! :D Did'nt you have this crazy extreme sportsman that amputated his fingers that got frostbite during his walk to the north pole, just because the doctors were to slow about it? Ah, yes; Sir Ranulph Fiennes, the man basically defines manlyness!
  17. The "Quanta Cola" bit made me think of this; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radithor :D Ahh, quackery.
  18. As a Swede, the Swedish police are a waste of money. They are useless, incompetent and overpaid. They are only good for driving drunk people home, catching shoplifters, drivers of tuned mopeds and shooting protesters.
  19. Yeah, my mates whom are about as interested in these details and their implications as I am in their new shoes, that is to say, not one bit. The only reaction I got from my sis's boyfriend about Xbone's online requirements was; *Shrug* "I'm not worried about it, I never buy used games, I never lend games and my internet never goes wrong". He's going to quickly change such tunes once he moves out here where I live... Also a somewhat funny, entirely ficticious story from Yahtzee; http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/columns/extra-punctuation/10460-The-Tale-of-M-and-S
  20. Operation Flashpoint used the mouse to steer cars and trucks from what I remember, or rather it could use it that way. There are also mods for some racing games that allow you to configure the mouse as a steering implement. Mouse is'nt bad as a turning implement because it does'nt return to center though, if you want your steering wheel to function properly with FF you turn off the centering spring anyway, in wich case it does'nt return to center either.
  21. It's basically the same here, and I'm loving the weather! Managed to mow the lawns, trim the edges and get started on trimming the hedge. This is perfect, though the rain was annoying, could've done without that.
  22. Boo-hoo, I despise professional football players, they're overpaid despicable little whiney bastards whos antics are infecting other sports. It's such an disgustingly unsportsmanlike behavior they should have public fricking whippings on the football-field rather than red or yellow cards! /EndRant
  23. I've heard about similar things but cloths before, but if there is anything that I'm concerned about with something like this, it's environmental and health-effects. Imagine if that stuff gets into your digestive system. Yikes.
  24. Quickly skimmed through the last couple of threads and did'nt immediately see anything referencing this, so; Publishers may start funding old-school RPGs because of the success of Kickstarter "These Kickstarters for RPGs have been really successful, they have garnered more backer support and more funding than many had thought, and we have noticed that publishers have paid attention to that and they are aware of the success these projects have had," Chris Avellone explained.
