A less presumptuous name.

See, I've gone back a year or so after reading a book in school, and I enjoyed the book. The problem with school is that you know that there will be a test on the material, and you're on a strict time line. As I read the first (almost) half of the book, it really wasn't too bad. If I had started reading it before the night before it's due, things would be different. I still blame school.

Where did all of this come from? Infinity can't be quantified, that's sort of the definition (at least in layman's terms) of infinity. Just take a simple intro-calc course or something, and infinity is no longer a big scary thing.

As much as I just hate to interrupt... This evening, I will be reading every page of The Red Badge of Courage for my English Language/American Lit class. I've heard nothing but horror stories about the book, and I can't wait to enjoy it for myself. /misery.

There is a smith down on the shores of the Dera Reaches. He can make one for you, or he'll give you one if he, well, meets his end.

Not for a few months. I would expect it to take a solid 2 or 3 months to port and test, especially considering Jeff's possibly altering text size.

There aren't four middle fingers, are there?

Are you going to reveal it for those of us who are stupid?

I just read the preview on Appletell, and I'm more than ready to play. Quit teasing me and just let me have it!

Originally Posted By: *i Practically speaking, it changes nothing. Yupp, I can see that. I'm a good little kid, no problems here. Now just gimme Avadon and a week off from school!

Okay, so I'm a day late, but I just wasted probably thirty minutes burning over 40,000 (k)cal as a T.Rex. I want a twinkie.

If you angle is close enough, there will be a small enough horizontal component. Or we could, ya know, not try!

Well I completed my New Year's resolution, so I can rest for the rest of the year. It doesn't count until version 1.1 is out! Speaking of release...

But still, raindrops of copper-jacketed lead is not what you want falling on your head. Mythbusters tested this, and their results were in agreement with recorded cases of vertically fired bullets. If a bullet is fired straight up, it will end up in a free-fall after a time and then fall at terminal velocity. While this is enough to hurt, it is far from lethal. However, if the bullet isn't fired straight up, it will retain its projectile course and end up hitting with greater velocity (the vertical velocity is terminal and there is additional horizontal velocity).

Being a native of Wisconsin and a resident of Maryland, I watched and enjoyed the game.

Diki just sells them to Jeff, hence the massive amount of skeletons we find in random jars. EDIT: I misread/misunderstood what you were saying about the postcount. Ignore my first two sentences. I shall leave them to remind me of my shame.
