Aah, the first big AGDI meeting... Sounds almost like a historical event!
Make sure you have a lot of fun and take a lot of pictures

Actually, we used to have a thread like that... here
Maybe it's a good time to revive it and move those last responses into that thread?

There was no real communist country, as far as I know. Communism was the utopic goal all the socialist countries were striving to achieve. Socialism was the first step towards communism, it was supposed to be a transition towards the brightest future of them all! Communist countries only named thems...

Happy Birthday, Mr. Chairman!

Your first order of business today (okay, maybe on the weekend as well) is to have an unforgettably good time!

Soul and I (especially I) are the living proof that custom titles have nothing to do with post count. The administrators decide on their own, whom to invite to the exclusive "custom title lounge" hidden forum.

Congratulations, Swift!  :D

Have a great birthday!

I wonder if the Disney "bastardisation", as someone here called it, of famous fairy tales is only typical for cartoons and movies. One may think that the makers of the movies decided to tone down the more brutal elements of the stories, because those would have a (putatively) stronger effe...

We trick animals with similar machines, which are called "Skinner boxes". The slot machine has been known as the human equivalent of the Skinner box, because even though the machine operates at random (well, not always :p), some people develop "gambling tics" hoping to be able to...

Maybe we could continue the discussion on the IA forums... But sadly, they are no more  :cry

I agree that the thing is rigged... I also hit 11300 relatively easily, even got the jackpot by getting the triple Erasmus, but I got a total of about 6 or 7 (I should have counted the exact number) of triple Ad Avises... Those odds were quite high. Good thing that there is no penalty for that combi...

Links from "Creation Science Evangelism"? Puh-lease, you could do better than that to support your point... Also, a scientist would never be explaining anything from the Biblical point of view. However, Charles, I have a hunch this could become the second thread of yours that gets deleted....

Well, I could have looked it up on the internet and then pretended I knew the answer, but I would rather not do it... I don't deal with carbon-dating or any other radioactive isotope dating in my work and studies, so I don't really know.
*goes to look up the half-life of radioactive carbon isotope*

I used to really like most of the Disney films... Especially The Lion King, Aladdin and more recently, Finding Nemo. The music in the movies is actually my favorite part.
However, what they did to Andersen's "The Little Mermaid" for example is abhorrent...

I am so sorry to hear that she didn't make it, Vil...
I wish you strength to cope with this grave loss.

You called? ;) Actually, Takari pretty much pointed out the reasons cloning a dinosaur would not be possible at this stage of development of the biological sciences... You would need a fully preserved, live nucleus (or a manufactured one, which is still science fiction nowadays) and an egg cytoplasm...

Heh, this is what I just got in my mail today: Dear еBay Customer Thank you for submitting the requested information about your account. We have compared the information that you have supplied and the ATM Pin number is not the same as the one in our records. To ensure that your account is not compro...

My boss is actually also going to be there so it's not really taking a week off... Well, I do have to work extra hours to make it up, but still, it counts as a specialization course in a way... It looks very promising... And the reason I was sick was because I worked in the room with malfunctioning ...

I was sick in the past few days too  :x
The ventilation system and the heating at work was malfunctioning...
Luckily, I am over it now, and just in time for my trip North!
I am going to www.ik-guenne.de !
So see you all in a week or so!

If you want to read fantasy books that include realistic elements like the ones you mentioned, I would recommend the series "Sword of Truth" by Terry Goodkind. The author tends to preach a lot through the words of his protagonists, especially in the later books, when he takes himself too s...

Congratulations on your 21st birthday!

Well, it was back in the days... When you think about it it wasn't that bad if it lasted 21 years...

We had one for 21 years... It wasn't all that good
They can still be seen back home, although they are getting rarer.

Happy belated B-Day, Vamp!

I also name my hero after myself... Which is appropriate enough, seeing that my name means "He who rules with glory" or "Glorious ruler"  :p

Here is an Anti-1337 Manifesto
