I suppose so, guess I need to do more research. Ok,ok, I need some volunteers to help Me determine if geek girls are timid or naughty. The line starts here, please fill out the the waiting list.

that could be dangerous, I once had a questionnaire for prospective dates. I used to email it in chatrooms, but I found a lot of the questions came back with many unanswered. It might be fun to make a new one for here...............Z

so far there is no difinitive answer to the IIII or IV roman clock mystery, but here are some answers I have found in My research.

1. Look at the number four on a clock face that uses Roman numerals. If the clock is made correctly then the Roman numeral four is wrong. The standard and correct way to write the Roman numeral four is "IV," but the traditional way to show it on a clock face is "IIII." Legend has it that a clock was made for a British king. When he saw the clock he mis- informedly corrected the clock maker who re-did the clock face to show a "IIII" instead of an "IV" thus not risking offending the king. Other clock makers followed suit so as not to embarass the king. Now it is the traditional way to make clocks.

2. Clock faces are said to use IIII to balance the VIII opposite; but not all clocks do this, and it's not just a modern aberration. I have owned good-quality watches which use IV, and one of the most famous clocks in the world does, too. In the image of the clock face on the linked page, you can easily see that IV is used rather than IIII.

3. "There is a story that a famous clockmaker had constructed a clock for Louis XIV, king of France. The clockmaker had naturally used IV for four. When the clock was shown to the king, he remarked that IIII should have been used instead of IV. When it was explained to him that IV was correct, he still insisted, so that there was nothing to do but change the clock dial. This introduced the custom of using IIII for four. This is probably only a story, however, as IIII occurs long before the time of Louis XIV. And this same story is also told in connection with other monarchs. There is one reason why IIII is preferable to IV, and it may have caused the change. On the other side of the clock dial the VIII is the heaviest number, consisting of four heavy strokes and one light one, as it is usually made. It would destroy the symmetry to have the IV with only two heavy strokes on the other side. Thus IIII with four heavy strokes is much to be preferred. The change may therefore have been made for reasons of symmetry."

4. Workshop Hints
Roman Numeral Clock Faces
Why do some clocks use IIII and others use IV?

The British Horological Institute has archived and edited the following from e-mails sent to the Clock/Clockers mailing lists on the Internet. The information here does not necessarily indicate a method approved by the BHI, we are only publishing this digest so that others can decide for themselves whether the methods listed below will suit them.

The real reason for the numbering is a mystery, the use of the IIII instead of the IV goes back at least to the roman times, as there are Clepsedora (water clocks) known to have this form of numbering even then.

Why Use IIII?

The most likely reason for it's use on round faced clocks is that if you look at a clock face, the 8 is VIII. To try and give some symmetry, the 4 was written as IIII. This way both numbers have four digits. However, not all clocks use the IIII. Some clocks, such as some Japanese tower (turret) clocks and also the Westminster Tower Clock, otherwise known as Big Ben use the IV.

Other possible reasons are:-

That in fact the Romans themselves up to the first couple centuries AD used IIII; and that IV is a "Late Latin" change, and numerous now-surviving classical Roman monuments with legends carved on them do use the IIII form. If we accept as fact the reality that the ancient Roman's did indeed prefer the use of IIII to IV for numbering (look in most museums at the statuary and other artefacts to be convinced), we need a viable explanation. The reason was probably religious in nature. Bear in mind the fact that in ancient Latin (i.e.: 2000 years ago), the language (and the carvers making statues etc.) used what we would recognise as a "V" for a "U", and they used "I" for what we now call "J". The Roman god Jupiter's name, when written in Latin, begins with IV, and it seems it would have been considered blasphemous to use it as a mere number.
The book 'Famous Watch Houses" by Elena Introna & Gabriele Ribolini has this to say: Quoted from Page 42 "...Curiously, on all the dials with Roman numerals the number 4 is written IIII and not IV, Common enough practice today, but the reason for this goes back to 1364 when Charles V scolded a watchmaker for writing IV on a tower clock. The watchmaker, Henry De Vick, argued his case, but the King brusquely replied: "I am never wrong" and so IV had to become IIII". unquote.
Why Use IV?

The IV form entered clockmaking practice in the last quarter of the 17th century when some makers (Knibb, most notably to me) made some clocks with "Roman Striking" a form of striking in which there was one large bell and one small bell. The large bell "meant" five. So four o'clock would be one stroke on the small bell followed by one stroke of the large bell (etc.). This ends up requiring many fewer strokes to tell the hour in the course of a day; hence the clock could run for longer, or better, etc. All clocks with genuine Roman striking have the IV on the dial.


5. while those answers were good, this one is My favorite http://members.aol.com/lolathrop/roman/iv.html and I will accept it at "face value" making it the answer to My question.
Consider this case closed >;o)..........Z

[QUOTE]Originally posted by LifetimeTrekker:
[B]Is there any intelligent species on Earth?

A: it depends on your point of view and definition of intelligence. Humans could qualify if the bar is low enough, but I think we still have some evolving left to do. perhaps if we could sterilize the total idiots of the world, we might become an intelligent species. There are alien species on Earth hiding amongst the masses. They are poorly disguised, but most humans aren't cunning enough to notice them. Ever known someone that animals always act funny around, that's an alien. The pets know, we are not as perceptive. A dog that was raised by humans will never tolerate an alien. Pay attention to your pets, they are onto the infultration.


When will they be willing to meet Humans?

A: They already have, but they don't show themselves for what they really are. Perhaps when they decide we are worthy of enslavement, we will get to meet them as they really are.

Will India and Pakistan tossing nukes back and forth qualify as Urban Renewal and population control?

A: yeppers, I won't shed any tears over mass destruction of countries that thumb their nose to the US. I only wish I could get the war live on pay per view.


How long will it take before extraterrestrials destroy what's left of the space program we haven't already f**ked up ourselves?

A: It depends on how long they are willing to tolerate our presence. As long as we don't get into a position to expose them, they will sit back and enjoy the comedy that is going on above our planet.........Z

[QUOTE]Originally posted by GameMaster:
[B]Now for another slew of questions.... MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Why is there a comb in the kitchen sink?

A: to comb all of the hair you left in the sink. you should learn to be more tidy.

How much is too much?

A: when the limit of what can be taken is exceeded, that is too much.

How little is not enough?

A: if you aren't satisfied with the amount, it is not enough. For Me, there can never be enough of some things.


If everyone else on the face of the planet died , save but the geeks and super models, would pigs fly and hell freeze over?

A; no, they still wouldn't give us the time of day. They would all keep to themselves an us geeks would end up ruling the world turning them into pleasure slaves.

How would we know if hell froze over?

A: either I'll tell you when it is cold, or the Mariners will win the world series. Those are the two easiest ways.

Can I borrow your pen?

A: sure, come over and get it. I have plenty, one can never have enough pens.

Why do humans feel so smart when they figgure out something that should be so painfully obvious in the first place?

A: depends on the human. perhaps for that particular human, it really was an accomplishment. humans sometimes feel the need to pat themselves on the back.

Why are we here?

A: because we are not there. we have to be somewhere and here seems like a good place to be. Besides, if we were anywhere else, the aliens would have to destroy us.

Where is here exsactly?

A: on the seventh plane of reality. why do you think seven is a lucky number. when we die we will go to the eighth plane, and eventually to the ninth plane and so on. by the way, the ninth plane is where we got the term, cloud nine >;o)


Why do we all love our Apple Jacks?

A; because if we didn't, we wouldn't eat it. We eat what we like and if we didn't like it, that would make us all liars. We can't have that now can we?

If there a center to the universe?

A: yes and it is Me. don't tell anyone, there is only room for one at the center and I am not sharing. when I change a lightbulb I simply hold it into the socket and let the universe revolve around Me 'till it screws itself in >;o)

If there is, wouldn't that mean that the universe is finite?

A; it sure is, it is just most humans aren't smart enough to calculate the actual size of it all. I asked God and He told Me. He made Me promise not to divulge the information so you will have figure it out on your own. There is however something beyond the universe, we are only on the seventh plane of reality.


Given Nemo's Paradox, do you think it is possible to touch anything, or do think that there will still be an infinatly small "half" between you and the object?

A; I don't believe that all things can't be touched. there might be some that are impossible because of that "half", but not all things are going to have that. I feel there are some things that will inevitably touch, it will all become clear when you reach plane 8.

Even if that object is a pretty girl?

A:sure, why not. But I really don't worry too much about such small distances. As long as I can feel her, there can be all the halves in the universe there and I wouldn't care.

What if she is naked?

A: I didn't even consider her having any clothes, you are a bit behind.

And her husband comes home?

A; She would be at My place so her husband would be irrelevant. Rings do come off easily after all >;o)

If a tree falls in the forest, and no one is around to hear, does it make a sound?

A; sure does, the universe is full of wasted events, that is only a small one.

What if it hits a golpher?

A; he would most likely die.

Does the noise the golpher makes count?

A; gophers can't count, but the squeal would make a sound even if nobody hears it.

What if the Golpher is deaf?

A: that is why the tree hit him, if he heard it he would have moved.

What else can I ask?

a: the possibilities are endless, maybe you should take a poll of questions people are afraid to ask and ask them so they don't have to.

Have you thought about snupy's idea, of posting a questionarie for your fans?

A; it has crossed My mind, though it will take some time to compile.

What is the differnece between a Whatchama-callit, a dohicky, a thing-a-ma-bober and a little-jobber-thingy-you-know?

A; the application, though they have all been used incorrectly as being interchangeable.

are any of them going to be sent into orbit in the near future?

A: nope, but they will send a whatzit, doodad, and a skenectedydoink.

If so, can we tie Bill Gates to it?

A; only if we can catch him, we can also send the dell dud with him.

If you had Gates money what would you do with it?

A; try to pervert the entire world. oh the naughty things I could do.

If you wanted to torture some one what would you do to them?

A; depend on how I feal at the time, spanking is one of My favorites. I also like to tie them to the cieling by their hands so they have to stand with their heels just off the ground. then I take one of those mats people use for their rolling chairs on carpets. you know the ones with the pokey spines on the bottom so they don't move. Well I cut a hole in the center and make the blindfolded person who is tied up stand in the center. if she move too far to the side, she steps on the spines since it was placed upside down. she can't use her heels, so a lot of weight is placed on the toes and front pads. I tell her they are tacks, since she can't see them. I put lots of water on them and tell her she is bleeding. then I swat her with various implements trying to get her to step on them. it is oh so much fun and I get a real kick out of watching the expressions. when it is all done, she is so relieved to find they weren't tacks at all and her feet are just fine. if she was a good sport through the whole episode, I will give her a good foot massage and tongue bathe them. They really seem to enjoy that >;o)

Would you enjoy doing it?

A; duh, that is what I enjoy most.

What size chain do you use for that?

A; chain is a bit cumbersome, I prefer leather shackles or rope.

Is there intelligent life on Mars?

A; there was, but they have long since left for earth. we are still trying to get back to our homeworld though we haven't yet realized it yet. we are the original martians, but the earth was so different we have taken a long time to evolve to a point where we could function properly. we still have a ways to go before we are as intelligent as we were, so it will be awhile before intelligent life returns.

How about earth?

A; just the aliens who have infultrated our population. I covered that in a previous post.

If I went into a bank and yelled "PUT YOUR HANDS UP... this has been a test of the emergency robbery system if this had been an actual robbery...." how far into the gag would I get before being gunned down by Gus the old security gaurd who is always asleep on the job?

A; only a few seconds, they don't take jokes as lightly as we do.

Do you know the muffin man?

A: yes, he is still alive and well. He resides in Palm Beach now and has passed the tasks on to his son. But he will always be the only true muffin man.

Did you just get Deja vous?

A; No, the delete funtion was working well enough to prevent that.

The difference of two squares (A and B) is equal to what?

A: depends on the value of the squares, but most squares are worthless anyway so it will be somewhere around zero.

What if you get the squares drunk, so they aren't so square?

A: a drunk square is worth even less, so the number would be closer to zero that before.

What are you eatting for dinner?

A: Bearded clam chowder.

If it is good, can I have some?

A; None of Mine, you have to find your own.

If not, why are you eating it?

A; sometimes it is the right thing to do.

there was intelligent life on venus but unfortunately it was ruled by women. This is most obvious because of the unhospitable atmosphere that still encircles venus. It took eons of nagging to create such a cloud. notice as the women slowly gain more power here, the air quality is getting worse. We will be the next venus.......**bait**.................Z

... remember, no matter where you go, there you are.

quote:
If there a center to the universe?

Assuming the Big Bang theory is correct, we can call the point where the Big Band originated the "center". Matter and energy were expelled from that point in all directions, at a speed less than or equal to c (the velocity of light in a vacuum, 3.00x10^8 m/s).

quote:
If there is, wouldn't that mean that the universe is finite?

At any given moment, the distance traveled from the center (see above) to the farthest particle of matter/energy is finite; it is less than or equal to Tc where T is the elapsed time since the Big Bang. We can call this the enclosing radius of the universe. (Of course, all this is done in the frame of reference of the "center" point.)

quote:
Given Nemo's Paradox, do you think it is possible to touch anything, or do think that there will still be an infinatly small "half" between you and the object?

Any distance smaller than the Planck length (1.6x10^-35 m) has no meaning. If you wish, you can think of this as the pixel size of the universe.

Suppose you have two particles P1 and P2. We cannot know their precise positions (Heisenberg), but if we're willing to sacrifice our knowledge of their momentum, we can get a really good fix on them. Their position can be described as a blurry region of space centered about a point; the probability of the particle being at any particular point in the blurry region increases near the center point. These blurry regions are actually unbounded (there is an astronomically small, but non-zero, probability that the particle could be in any position in the universe), but for all practical purposes, the effective position of a particle is pretty well known when we're watching it in this way. (Particles misbehave when we aren't looking, but remember, we're watching these ones' positions as closely as we can.)

If the blurry regions R1 and R2 (corresponding to particles P1 and P2 respectively) overlap far enough, then the particles may interact. If they are electrically charged, they will be forced apart or together depending on charge. They are also drawn together by gravity, but the electrical force is much much much much much stronger than gravity.

Consider two electrons moving toward each other. As they get closer together, the repulsive force acting on each one climbs toward infinity (the force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the electrons). When the electrons are the Planck length apart, that force is incomprehensibly huge. So the electrons will never actually reach each other (not even to occupy neighboring "pixels").

Every atom of your body has one or more electrons orbiting it in a fuzzy cloud. Every atom of whatever object you're thinking of touching has electrons also. When you move your hand (or any other part of your body) toward the object, eventually the electrons of your atoms will start to push against the electrons of the other object's atoms. When they get close enough, they will exert a noticeable "push" and you'll experience a sensation which we have come to call "touch".

But there will always be some empty space between those atoms. So in a sense, you have not really touched it; some space remained uncrossed.

On the other hand, there was a real, physical, effect. The positions of atoms have changed. If you pushed against the object with enough force, you might have moved it macroscopically, or you might have damaged your hand (or both). So in that sense, the "touch" was quite real.

It's all a matter of your perspective and definitions.

quote:
Even if that object is a pretty girl?

Emotions are not subject to the laws of physics. A pretty girl can affect objects at vast distances, if the objects are conscious.

Remember, a milliHelen is the unit of beauty required to launch one ship.

quote:
What if she is naked?

They're all naked. So are you. Remember, their clothes can't truly touch them. Besides, this is the fantasy realm now, and you're too busy having sex with her in your mind, so you're not paying attention to me any more. Which is good, because I'm not making any sense anyway.

I probably shouldn�t reveal this, but I am now on a mission to make Zorro blush, or embarrassed� The proof will be in his answers, and if his answers aren�t as perverted as we hope, then we must believe he was too shy to give it his all. Anyone who finds sexual talk, and rather �dirty� words offensive, skip this post and his reply.

The game is a foot.
(warm up with some light stuff)

What is that men with big feet have?

What color are your boxers?

What age did you stop wetting the bed?

How many females have you had intercourse with (intercourse being penetration, not counting mutual masturbation or oral sex)?

What is the strangest place you had intercourse (using definition above)?

What is the strangest place you ever had oral sex given to you, unsolicited?

What is the strangest place you�ve asked to get oral sex?

Did she go for it?

Have you ever had a �squirter�?

Do you enjoy �squirters� more than girls who don�t have female ejaculate?

Are you circumcised?

Do you Kegel(sp!)?

What is the longest time you�ve spent ingauged in a make-out or sexual session?

Have you ever had sex, and not liked it?
If so, why didn�t you like it?

(alright, I think that is enough warm up�. I will wait to see how these easy ones go over to see what I need to do to get the great(ly perverted) Zorro to display some kind of embarrassment� wish me luck.

I was wondering who would finally ask the "how many women" question to Zorro(you knew it was inevitable). And it only took 6 pages....

No, Snupy, I thought it was on Venus. Or is the G spot the spot in which all Gravity stems, which would be the center of the universe. Hey, the universe revolves around the G spot then... Alright, I know, cheap shot.

The only reason I'm asking the "how many..."s is because of his intresting responce to "How bad are you" and the challenge laid down in "Attractive" (I think it was). I will get him to blush, or at least back away from a preverted post. I kinda thought it'd have a responce already, but Z must be procrastinating....

A; that is something you have to be shown, it is hard to describe in words.

what is the secret behind viagra?

A; if you take it before work, you'll have to walk around hard all day long. They don't want you to know that.

and finally
what is Pi to the trillionth digit?

A: it doesn't go that far, I did it long hand just today >;o) .......Z

The game is a foot.
(warm up with some light stuff)

What is that men with big feet have?

A: big noses, oh and thier penises are supposed to be longer too. I have size 10-1/2 EE.

What color are your boxers?

A:black today, there were green yesterday. I have so many colors.

What age did you stop wetting the bed?

A: about 4 or 5, I was trying to forget that part of My life.

How many females have you had intercourse with (intercourse being penetration, not counting mutual masturbation or oral sex)?

A: like the number of licks to the center of a tootsie pop, the world may never know. There are a few I am not sure of (back in the heavy drinking and drug use days I wasn't always sure if the girl had sex with Me). I stopped counting when I ran out of fingers and toes.

What is the strangest place you had intercourse (using definition above)?

A; I covered that one already, perhaps it is time to review the thread. But I would have to say in the girls shower room afterward would be the second strangest. It was after hours but the lifeguard could have easily come in to find us. I'm sure she heard our little escapade, but fortunately she was a friend of mine so she let us go about our business.

What is the strangest place you ever had oral sex given to you, unsolicited?

A; Do you really want to know. I was at a party and had just done My business, a girl was hiding in the tub next to the potty and asked to clean Me. That was the first time anyone had ever licked there, needless to say I didn't kiss her afterward. (her breath smelled like.......um you know)

What is the strangest place you�ve asked to get oral sex?

A: in the back of a patrol car, she was a cute cop though I meant it more as an insult to her. She just ignored Me, apparantly she didn't want to let Me know I was upsetting her.

Did she go for it?

A: nope, but I did get away without being charged for anything.

Have you ever had a �squirter�?

A; depends on you definition of "squirter" if you mean a girl who cums, then yes. I once was on bottom and she sat upon My face, damn near drowned Me. If My hands were not bound, I would have pushed her off. I am more careful of who I let tie My hands, it can be dangerous in the hands of an amature.

Do you enjoy �squirters� more than girls who don�t have female ejaculate?

A; yeppers, they are way more fun.

Are you circumcised?

A; I am not sleeved, I think it was a common thing when I was born to have the process.

Do you Kegel(sp!)?

A; I get very little exercise, besides, I think it is better for girls to do anyway. I dated a girl who did them religiously http://www.childbirth.org/articles/kegel.html .

What is the longest time you�ve spent ingauged in a make-out or sexual session?

A; including breaks for sleep and food, damn near all weekend.

Have you ever had sex, and not liked it?

A; often in the past, I don't get out much now.

If so, why didn�t you like it?

A: many reasons but these are the top
1>she was very unnatractive and I couldn't stay interested*erect*
2>she was inhibited
3>she talked too much
4>she was untalented and unwilling to learn
5>she peed standing up (just kidding, a little bachelor party humor there)

(alright, I think that is enough warm up�. I will wait to see how these easy ones go over to see what I need to do to get the great(ly perverted) Zorro to display some kind of embarrassment� wish me luck.

A: I have no morals or shame, you must wrok harder......Z
