From Twinkle Toes post above... << I'm just going to answer these because I feel like it... plus, you caught my attention: I love cheese  >>Originally posted by GameMaster: Why does living so close to canada leave wisconsiners so open to using "eh?" GUHHHH, because they live so close?... You mean Wisconsin isn't the Secret Eleventh Territory? How do you make a pig fly? You take a couple of bats or pigeons, manage to keep their wings 'alive' as you enlarge them with some qweer chemical, and carefully attatch every artery and such to the somewhere where it can reach some of the pig's. As a simple alternative, you can attach two Jet Assist Takeoff Rockets to the pig with wooden wings and a small rudder for stability and I guarantee it will fly...I won't say much for the landing, however!

Come now, snupiness, cheer up, and cast out your despondency :-) Anyhow, the thread can't die, I mean, we've got a long way to go to catch up with this one, and we will, we will, just you wait... : ] Hrm, alas, that I were able to think of some good questions right now. Any that I did come up with would probably either be selfish (girl-related) or technical, not good for here. Hrm, Z, best guesses at the meaning of Suwttdirktoyya nja Virtavoxardnnjeheje. Plus, Z, what sort of incentive do you reckon people would have to offer for me to reveal the answer? And where is the only one place you'd ever read that phrase? - uilleann IP: Logged |

Bregalad: I know, I was just joking :) I only saw page 1 anyhow (someone gave me that URL, and I didn't feel inclined, given my connection and CPU speed, to trawl through all 385-or-some-such pages ;) Actually, this thread will never die, because the necro-posting muppets will ensure it doesn't ;) Zorro: When you said the one place is here, you were wrong, but I have to give it to you that you came to that conclusion based on misleading evidence. I never thought that by typing it in there it would thus be found in two places... (duhhh, *slaps forehead*) No, it isn't Klingon (tlhIngan Hol vIjatlhaHbe' (was that correct?)) which is evident from from the spelling. I didn't expect you to know the meaning, though, but was curious as to what you'd think it'd mean. Some people do know, or, rather, were told. Secrecy will probably remain just as I feel stupid for both posting it and even for creating it sometimes. IP: Logged |

[QUOTE]Originally posted by SpikeSpiegel: [B]how much money will episode 3 make in theaters? A: sigh, more of these questions. Less than episode 2. it always seems to taper off. what speed is my processor? A: I'm shocked you don't know the answer. Why would anyone own a computer and not know such things. how big is my computer screen? A: take a ruler and measure it diagonally. is it lcd or crt? A: look behind it. if there is a big tube, it is crt. if not, it is the former. what kind of mouse do i use? A: honestly I though you moved up to gerbils. I suppose you use a brown mouse, though it was white when you bought it. what is my favorite type of cheese? A: why is everything about you, don't you have anything important you need to know. from now on your favorite cheese is cottage. any other answer is a total lie and you know it. how do i like my eggs in the morning? A: hot, though once you move out of mommy's house you'll have to settle for what you can order at denny's >;o) what is my hard liquor of choice? A: JD, it is everyones liquor of choice and now it is also yours. BTW, did you know women hold their liquor by the ears >;o) how much money do i make yearly? A: less than you spend, that is why you still live with mommy. what flavor of doritoes am i eating right now? A: cool ranch, it might taste and look like something else but I assure you it is cool ranch. what is my height? A: I'm not sure how tall trolls can be, I can't get close enough to them without being overcome by the odor. what game will blizzard release after World of Warcraft? A; another cheezy sequal to a more succeful game. I thin they lack imagination these days. IP: Logged |

[QUOTE]Originally posted by littlefish: [B]Should I write my thesis using TeX? A: only if you honestly thing it will help the grade. I've found that some instructors aren't easily impressed and prefer things as basic as possible, though if you resort to using an old Royal typewriter I suppose that would be taking the basic premise too far. Do I need to install it on my G4 running OSX, or is it included in the Darwin distribution? A: now it seems you are entering the realm of MacGenius's Q&A http://www.geekculture.com/ultimatebb/Forum12/HTML/000458.html I'm more of the life's questions kinda geek. Where can I get the binaries for LaTeX? A: wow, I didn't know they had binaries for comdoms. is it only the LaTeX variety, or do they also have them for the sheepskin kind >;o) How does it all work? A: the latex is stronger, but the sheepskin gives more feeling and sensitivity. but then that beg the question, if you use a sheepskin condom, is that a form of bestiality? >;o) sorry the perversion in answering, it's been a long day......Z IP: Logged |

Quoting Twinkle Toes: I actually think it looks like apart of the Welsh language... Heh, but of course you would, you... oops, better be careful what I say about the Welsh, they're not far from me and they'll come burn my house down if I don't look out... oops, did I say that? *runs* Nah, it's not Welsh. Languages all tend to have common letter patterns - the frequency of letters, and what groups they are visible in. Dutch, for example, has a lot of 'oo's and 'aa's in, and the like. If you see "random" capitals, and lots of 'tlh's, chances are its Klingon. Welsh has lots of 'y's, 'll's, and so on. Maybe I should write a language analyser... For anyone familiar with Diane Duane's Star Trek novels, she used the reverse process to generate her Romulan text - selected letter pattern probabilities, and wrote a program to generate strings of letters based on those probabilities, and the result was a coherent set of words that looked like a language. In theory. She probably chose just the words that looked best, so what the actual results were, I don't know. You can download her program somewhere, but it is in BASIC so might need porting for those with no BASIC interpreter handy ;) I even have a section of a BBC Micro programming book which tries to do the same with note pattern probabilities - given the last few notes, it selects what comes next, in attempt to be able to generate music of a certain style or whatnot; the more notes taken into account before the one about to be played, the more accurate it becomes. I never spent any time playing with them though - I typed in and ran one of them, and it did nothing special. And no, it isn't Welsh, TT - it's Xirnann. Not that that tells you anything, but still. - uilleann IP: Logged |
