Wow, that guy is walking on water. Do engineers have superpowers?

That's interesting! Though the second paragraph wasn't relevant to the point I was making. The early sixteenth century is earlier than 1586, by the way.

A handful of things that are occasionally labeled communist aren't even communist at all, so I don't assume that everyone I meet on the internet knows what is and what is not communist. Anyways, many of the ideas in the Communist Manifesto had already existed previously. For example, there was a pamphlet (which I can't remember the name of) written in the early sixteenth century which endorsed commonly owned property.

Done, though we'll still have to work out what time of day. Except for Wednesdays, I'm home by 6:00 PM Eastern, though usually twenty or more minutes before that. On Wednesdays I generally don't get home until 6:40 PM Eastern.

I actually use metric quite often, but can't get used to celsius. So, in casual conversation, I will use meters and degrees Fahrenheit. I don't think you should expect us to assume that. When I first read your post, I thought you were actually saying that using the metric system is communist.

It's not like anyone will catch up with Alorael anytime soon. He's been posting for almost eight years now.

Dikiyoba has them all correct, of course. I must have accidentally added another "s" to Celtic Minstrel. Originally Posted By: Dantius Actually, you caught me, Nikki. Everything above is lies. You see, I obtained the correct answer, posted before anyone else got it, by physically accessing the Spiderweb server ( I'm actually a cunning sock of Jeff), hacking Excalibur's account, getting his personal data, going to his house, and torturing him Jack-Bauer style until he gave me the answers for an online anagram contest. True story. ... Oh well, we have a shotgun and a dog...and a tribal bow and arrows. Also, how do you know of Zephyr Tempest? Sure, I wasn't around when Sir Motrax of Exile, MagmaDragoon, and Dragyn Bob were still active, but other members have talked about them. I don't remember the last time Zephyr Tempest was mentioned.

Looks like we need some more. Some of these are easier, and maybe a few are more obscure. (Note that none of these names actually have apostrophes or commas) 1. End Gong Ilk 2. Mannerly 3. Slim Cleric Tents 4. Sea Hall 5. A Canary Rat 6. Web Toys 7. At Ocean 8. It's my etch 9. Sir Coups 10. Xerox Formalities 11. Fluff Mining Mailman Fern 12. Mined Razor 13. Musty Romaines 14. I'd Roam or Row 15. Ass Snookers 16. Dad in Train 17. A Flighty Mouth Ed Efforts 18. Ad Sheltering 19. Zesty, Pert Hemp 20. A Hair of Teak 21. Pariah's Alias 22. Go Among Drama 23. Tells Sins 24. Barn by God 25. Has a Hind

Oh, two is Silent Assassin, four is Emperor Tullegolar seven is Delicious Vlish, nine is Andraste, and eleven is Archmage Alex.

There isn't a "y" so it can't be. It's actually Nicothodes.

When the forums were upgraded, accounts with zero posts were deleted, so it was probably just a bot or something like that.

Originally Posted By: Nikki Oh, wrong person. Sorry. Those of you with member numbers above 6590 () all look alike to me. I meant W-dueck. Is there something special about member 6590? He only has one post, or are you talking about old numbers, or did you just pick a random number and I'm rambling like an idiot?

Also, "Ghost of Jewels" should simply be "Jewels."

Originally Posted By: llloyd As for the weight thing, the people in my family everyone is either really fat anyway or has really good genetics and they don't get fat, luckily i have the latter and weigh less than 120 pounds.

Wait...I thought you had a custom title. What happened to it?

The best part about Thanksgiving is the Charlie Brown special. I don't like turkey and gravy, so I'm not a fan of the actual meal.
