Kidding aside ( I didn't really think the US should nuke Libya), I thought that an attack of a mostly gay hating country with tribal traditions of tying up women's vaginas and of 12 year old girl circumcision that was supposed to become more liberal after its dictator was routed, (how the hell do 12 men assault an armed embassy and succeed?) would rile up these boards a little more; and all I find you talking about is some obscure reference to a game maker's name sake being mauled by a bear. Really?

wait no it isn't, what is the matter with you
I thought the US was Libya's main ally and so, given neither China, India nor Moscow were too happy with Kadafi's death no serious repercussions would happen from nuking an already mainly desert country that just crossed it's only nuclear ally :E) -
How about the US consulate murdered in Libiya? I say Nuke them, but then again I'm not a US citizen (nor resident)

The Borg were originally intended to be insectoids, but budgetary constraints turned them into cyborgs

I' still waiting for a vhanatai playable character, but with A ended and no cigar, I don't think there's any hope of seeing one in the remakes.

He could hold an art contest, where the winners get a copy of some of the games

Well, given the fact that Trenton's post count is on par with sylae's who has registered 2 years before him and way over acteon's who registered 5 years before him, it seems Trenton is actively vying for entering the top posters list

Just finished rereading "the hobbit" and also found in the library a dual book of robert asprin and finished reading "myth directions", hilarious, absolutely hilarious. Now I start the second story "hit and myth". I just love how he starts each chapter with a short (sometimes fake) funny quote such as "That's funny, I never have any trouble with service when I'm shopping" -K. Kong.
And here is also another curious excerpt from "the hobbit"
(it comes right before
the telling of what happened to Thorin when the wood elves captured him

For most of them (together with their scattered relations in the hills and mountains) were descended from the ancient tribes that never went to Faerie in the West.
There the Light-elves and the Deep-elves and the Sea-elves went and lived
for ages, and grew fairer and wiser and more learned, and invented their
magic and their cunning craft, in the making of beautiful and marvellous
things, before some came back into the Wide World.
In the Wide World the Wood-elves lingered in the twilight of our Sun and Moon but loved best the stars;
and they wandered in the great forests that grew tall in lands that
are now lost. They dwelt most often by the edges of the woods, from which
they could escape at times to hunt, or to ride and run over the open lands
by moonlight or starlight; and after the coming of Men they took ever more
and more to the gloaming and the dusk.
Still elves they were and remain, and that is Good People.
Faerie? Is there another reference to West-Earth with that name? Light Elves? Deep-Elves? Sea Elves?

Yeah I'm never touching Baldur's gate again, it's just too sticky

Nah, the subject is not affected by the measurement. (putting a camera inside the fridge is no different than putting food, although hardcore quantum physicists would say the inside of the fridge doesn't exist once you close the door :XD)

I think that if it's like in Baldur's gate 2 where you have to pick one (and only that one will remain) or they both ditch you (meaning you can't prevent them from falling in love with you and still have them as a party member), then it's pretty bad. Then it's not optional, it's forced and it truly diminished my enjoyment of the game.

It's a WRAP

In that case what you should do is go to the general forum, look up the puns thread, find a poster with an avatar of a rabbit (or a hare) with a bow and pm him directly (by left clicking his name and selecting "Send a PM") about this errata

Or as a professor of mine used to say:
"Positive + Negative = Eeeeeeenergy"

On second thought, because of the extreme heat near the caldera where the microbes are supposed to be and the low Oxygen concentration, this is more likely:
2CH4 + 3O2 + Heat ==> BOOM + 2CO + 4H2O
Making it very dangerous to live (and breath) near the calderas
-
None, absolutely no trouble. (you'll see why later on)
-
Yeah CH4 + 2O2 + Heat ==> BOOM + CO2 + 2H2O

A point for thought is Chitrachs, these existed in the underworld before there were magic mushrooms, which means either oxygen is not produced magically or bugs in Exile do not breath oxygen. (I'm also assuming the other creatures either have their own magic (sliths, vahnati, gremlins, dragons) or were sent down by the empire (giants, nephils, rats, maybe bats and lizards).

You have just demonstrated the misconception:
On second thought you seem to have misunderstood or misread my intention. The misconception is that people think that we have germs specifically in the stomach, not the gut.
Or did I misunderstand you and by "this one true" you meant that the misconception exists?
Only the intestine has bacteria, these help humans stay healthy (and produce vit k) not break down foods, the stomach of animals that eat grass (such as cows and sheep) have bacteria in their stomachs to break down the cellulose (and there are probably other examples I am not aware of).Originally Posted By: The praxis of practice
You can't make the statistics say whatever you want;
However you can make surveys say whatever you want ( I urge you to watch the first two episodes of Yes Prime minister to see what I mean) -
