skylar Maximum Newbie Posts: 19 From: Registered: May 2002	posted June 12, 2002 12:30 it's over, it's all over ! it nearly killed me, but i got through my greek exams, thanks to all the luck i got (and a four leaf clover that saved the say). thanks for that, twinkle toes. but i think i need to follow uillean's example and clear something up. i am female. was it not obvious fidgets nervously. i thought the nick made it sort of gender-specific. the jokes are great by the way, but i wouldn't know much about rearing, which i can only think is a good thing btw, did you know that in ancient greece, buggery was only a sin if you were passive, rather than active, if you know what i mean. otherwise, everything was fine and dandy!

uilleann Super Geek Posts: 160 From: St Albans, Herts, England Registered: Apr 2002	posted June 13, 2002 01:36 Well, congratulations. And, no, I thought you were male. But then, Charisma is another example of someone with a misinterpreted nick. Nicks aren't always dead giveaways in terms of gender (or anything), and I wasn't aware that it was a requirement for females to have effeminate nicks and males masculine ones. Guess it's just part of the mystery that is online life, eh? :) - Uilleann IP: Logged

CONGRATS! And you're welcome, Skylar... see? My new-found background can help all...how spiffy! ...And you can keep the clover ... ------------------ Look at me, dammit, I'm your little princess!!

uilleann Super Geek Posts: 160 From: St Albans, Herts, England Registered: Apr 2002	posted June 13, 2002 06:26 Hmm... If you used (assuming it’s possible to use) selective breeding (or genetic modification if not) to achieve production of four-leaf clover plants, then would they still bring luck? Could you market such luck plants (and imagine the extortion...)? Or would the Luck Sysadmin revoke the luck quota on the scientists and forever blight their lives? - Uilleann IP: Logged

I wouldn't think so. Those would be man-made, not natural, and the special magikal essence comes from nature. ... and the leprachauns. ------------------ Look at me, dammit, I'm your little princess!! IP: Logged
