I practice Taek Won DO and Karate twice a week .. that's more than sufficient to keep me in good shape! ^_^

and as the screen fades out he says "I'm okay" ... hehe or when the professor tries to justify why he couldn't get the bomb out "it's stuck in there with glue or something!" :D

Zap: what makes a man turn neutral? lust for power? gold? or were you just born with a heart full of neutrality?? Atillia: No shoot firestick in space-cano cause explosive decompression! Zap: spare me that technobabble of yours Attila the Hun!

well does a little flip every now and then .. as far as I remember what we call North is actually magnetically speakin South (but I don't really remember)..

the Earth produces a large magnetic field which diverts alot of the more harmfull rays and particles from the sun .. the few particles that come through however (at the weak points) produce what we call nothern light when they interact with the Earths atmosphere.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_field

they use black holes and enormous gravityfields to generate a portal .. I can kinda cope with the idea that gravity can be so devastating that it can rip a hole through time and space .. but magnetic fields?

I would like to hear more about how magnetic fields can create a doorway to another dimension ... I'm kinda worried about it since we are all sitting on one giant potential portal then! :ph34r:

that's a point of view .. I for one find Futurama to have quite a more intelligent way of telling a story than Simpsons ever did, and one of the better cartoons I've watched! but of course it depends on your kind of humor .. I think Invader Zim is hilarous, so that probably means I'm insane ...

That would be too good to be true .. I love(d) that show! I'll keep everything crossable crossed

I lost mine when I was 12 .. so I can't really beat it, but every male in my family has died before they reached 50 .. so I have about 28 years to go.. beat that!

Very intresting... Are you getting into ignoring that fact that love is just a chemical called serotonin and just enjoying the beauty of it? Can your argument be related to the "beauty or truth" debate? As for going backwards towards ignorance, maybe they just dont want to leave their comfort zone just yet, if ever. Sometimes its a matter of one finding the correct path for them that will help them out of their caves. Most people enjoy ignorance, i do, i hate looking at my shoes and realizing that some poor kid in ethiopia had to make them. I'm sure smokers hate to read the surgeon general warning that says ciggs cause cancer. I guess this goes back to if your going to be conscious your whole life you might as well be happy. Its a tough battle to learn everything about oneself inorder to change, and the road to enlightenment cannot be shown to a person, that person has to discover it by themselve. I think its possible to cope with enlightenment, its just a matter of changing ones attitiude at how he/she looks at it. does that sound right? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> "Are you getting into ignoring that fact that love is just a chemical called serotonin and just enjoying the beauty of it?" kind of, but my argument is that when people gain knowledge and insight (in a western world way = logic) they realize that the world is far colder and harsher than they (in their naive minds of before) had believed.. they see the systems this reality operates under and feels a sense of loss... then they believe love is just a chemical reaction, free will is just an illusion caused by the fact that we can't see and understand everything.. that's when they go backwards, that's when they seek a simpler and (in their minds) better way of thinking and living.. everyone does this .. we enjoy nature because it's constant - opposed to our ever frantic and changing lives! we enjoy seeing the past in a romantic light - family values etc. they were more ignorant, and they were more happy (at least we (want to) believe they were).. my argument is that true enlightment is not just logic .. seeing things not as they really are .. because that's impossible, it's seeing things (and understanding them) as we really do.. understanding that reality is subjective and coming to terms with that - and then trying to put yourself in others situations, seeing their reality through them.. I believe enlighment comes, not with knowledge, but with experiance and a wanting, a seeking, to understand yourself and those around you.. on the most basic level.. but that's means enlightment is an elusive thing, not a level to reach and stay at .. but a level to seek and never truely reach...

and since you have all shown him where you live it shouldn't be too hard to track you all down ... fear :ph34r: Hildegaard and Kinslayer!! on a sidenote (but on topic) good to see people adding themselves!

sorry for using a cliche analogy Reveilled.. but I did so to make a point not to do a comparison..

the funny thing (in my experiance) is that people tend to get rather nihilistic as they gain more knowledge about the world .. and when they feel the emptiness (and we all fear true emptiness) they seek backwards to ignorance for comfort.. it seems as if we as a species can't cope with enlighment without ignorance..

My worst fear is that the US will collapse under it's own weight, that the (powerful) industries that follow war will keep the country in a constant race for bigger and more expensive weapons and wars to use them in .. because then we will see a third Roman Empire (the 3rd reich if you like that analogy) rise and fall with a crash that will tear most of this world apart...* *worst case scenario of course ..

I've always had a weakness for these kind of curved swords.. Scimitars and Shamshirs (I think they are called)

I don't remember them using he or she in Kotor1 at all.. they used Revan consequently .. whilst Kotor2 (even if there were mistakes) at least tried to be "gender-true" ..

indeed it was ... good work Kaftan! although you still have a long way to go .. I would've expected a much more bizar setting or choice of theme! I was under the impression that you were the kind of artist that prefered to let the absurd images, you portrayed, speak for themselves! ^_^

those deductions where the ones that pulled me down from about 400 .. and the reasons I reached 400 was because I've hosted about 10 games (30 points each) .. but Rpg'ing has actually helped, I've recieved alot of credit for my "program" .. and one of our "social misfits" have actually blossomed into a "normal" geek instead of a drugaddict .. I think that's positive!

I got 190 .. yah! I'm barely a non-geek!! :cool:

sorry for the grave digging, but I wanted to update the involved in how things went! I didn't win anything, but my poems were well recieved and people seemed to think they were good, so I'm quite happy with the outcome! but thank you for your help and support! -- in respone to Janmand: Unrelated to that at first I read this "Et v

I use it alot . but like others have said, only to get an idea about a subject .. I think it's a great site!

it's a danish book (actually norwegian) called "Broken English spoken perfectly"

Now I guess we've all heard or read some pretty amusing translations (into english) in our time .. especially if someone uses a phrase from his own country which doesn't quite mean the same in English! I've got this book full of these and I thought it would be a good idea to share some of the most outrageous of these! hope you enjoy! ^_^ Go Away - a sign in the window of a spanish travel agency Olof Palme could bot come because he has a abad influence - cancelling a pressconference I thank for giving my wife and me the clap.
