It's okay: wookiees cover their modesty with fur. (What is a female wookiee called? A wookieette?)

My humour is lost on you, I see.

Now all they need is a comprehensive and cogent bus service. " (Have you ever tried using a bus to get around, as a substitute for car or train? Unless you have many, many, many hours to spare I don't recommend it to you. Last time I did the sums, it took longer to go across Herfordshire and Bedfordshire, than it did to take a train into London and back out. Twice.)

Is that the one that chronicles the Emperors? (Which is basically the Rise and Fall of the Roman Empire, by another name and using a slightly different focus.) I really enjoyed that; it was a History Channel series.

It's a line ball whether it is non sequitur, or not (we are talking about Ender's thread, and the rules laid out by him in the first posts); irrespective: vide ut supra (<{POST_SNAPBACK}>), second point.

Guys, it's pretty poor form to quit the game because you are losing (whether by your own errors or not). I would have expected more from you. After all, did you not anticipate that the game would take several weeks? I doubt many people will be offering to play more games online, and your efforts have contributed, in not a small way.

Yes, but it also is written, in some of the garbage that is the EU, lightsabres NOT working underwater.

I wonder if that is 12% by area or height ... "

Gary Oldman is a true chameleon actor. I think that villain is one of the best, too.

A complete change of scenery might help, like moving to a new school. But that also may not (if a student from your previous school has moved there too, for example). It is even better if you can re-enter the lions' den and make peace with your (inner) d

No details about where and when ...

And this is the main reason americans get so aroused when we're discussing politics: you're confusing the industrial world's dislike for american foreign politics with some sort of unfounded hatred for the american people. That is not the case (and I have no clue where you get it from). Yes, we joke a lot about americans being fat, uneducated and having a taste for poor beer and odd sports. But not more than, for example, swedish people making fun of finnish people for being a humourless bunch, intent on killing themselves with a bottle of Koskenkorva in their hands. It's prejudice in a (mostly) harmless way. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You forgot the abysmal chocolate confectionary. (Although "English" chocolate isn't much better.) I happen to admire the USA; it isn't perfecct by a long chalk, but it certainly is less guilty of a lot of the sins of the older worlds (old Europe, greater Persia and the Arab states, et alia). It is farsical to compare the human rights records of most countries with the US; still, the US is not free from blemish (past and present crimes against Native Americans; African Americans; Latin Americans; etc). So when I make a criticism, it is not from a point of hatred, but a willingness to improve the government / society to make it better for all of us (as we in the rest of the world are impacted greatly by the goings-on of the US). When I see abuse of power, or corruption (especially of something very worthy) I must speak out (it is the duty of all of us); that does not mean I wish the system ill: I wish it convalescences. A lot of US citizens seem unable to seperate the message from the medium: they seem to take all criticsms personally (present company excepted, of course). That is just rank immaturity; I would hope that we all can rise above it.

I think Atreides wants citations; references and such to specific quotations. Umless I miss his humour, of course ...

Are lightsabers hot then? That must be tricky - wouldn't you get sweaty palms when fighting? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Seemed to be warm enough to melt through a blast door in Episode I ...

Go Speed Racer, go Speed Racer, go Speed Racer, go!

So we have an automatic "no lightsabre zone" for our intrepid Force Sensitive to traverse! Now, given the rebreather technology (as seen in K1), all we need to do is stage a fight scene underwater, sot he FS has to use Force Powers and/or an alternative weapon. I wonder if Havok is geared up for an underwater physics work-out? :cool:

1. anorak. 2. Okay, whatever they bits that a wookiee can't fit: visors? Headwear, generally? (I thought it included most implants, too.)

Huh! I thought you wrote "underwater that's ACTUALLY underwater"! I'd like an underwater zone for the PC to swim in ... now what was that EU about water and lightsabres ...

Um, again, really. But I don't like talking about others on the forum; because they don't like it and I haven't asked them.

Yeah, I don't know about the Swedish tower (it looks to be designed along similar lines), but the Gherkin was designed to accommodate all the requirements of a modern building, as well as allowing the windows to be opened to save on heating and cooling bills (which are phenominal in other buildings of a similar size). They twisted the block design to add some high-wind tolerance, as well as the natty look.

Good info there, Ender; I'm still digesting it.

Well, considering the cloying poverty and asphyxiatingly carcinogenic environmental polution of their neighbourhoods (perpetrated by US corporates exploiting the lenient and pro-business Mexican environmental laws) across the Rio Grande, I'd say it's a no-brainer.

That she doesn't want to get married?

Blue is good for colourblind males because, to them, green LEDs look the same as red ones. So he is (inadvertently, it would seem) making his creation sight-impaired-friendly, too!

And I'm a poster boy for it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's not something to be proud about, y'know. With help, you can save yourself. What stops most males is that it isn't easy. It requires thought and attentive care in conversation
