    Oh right. I don't know what's used for all our drawings, since I'm not involved with that side of it. My boss handles all that. I just produce the goods basically

    I would put my money on manufacturing, engineering, and/or designing stuff. I remember what fillet means from my brief experience with AutoCAD and SolidWorks.


    Well I'll be. Manufacturing it is.

    Razors my edges, and trebled my steel -

    One foe did I follow - Sought I the blood of one alone
    And never found it.


    What weapon is this?


    It's obviously a USAF rocket drone sent to kill Osama bin Laden- sent to find one foe, but never found it.


    Oh, bin Laden, hide and seek champion of the world. I think he beats Where's Wally by a long shot.

    Trenton was third yesterday, so it's not like he's posting way more than anyone else.

    Dikiyoba.


    He made it to the top of the list this morning, with about 292 or thereabouts.

    Ah well. When the appeal of theory dies, hopefully there's an application portion to take things over.


    I think that just depends on your education, and where you take so said education. If you take a "theory" based education like physics, well you just base all your "knowledge" on theory. I'm not sayin that everything in Physics is based on theory, but as far as I can see, there's a lot of things outside of Earth itself that Physicists are more or less less taking stabs in the dark and going with the idea that makes the most sence until proven other wise.

    *now has the thought of a human splitting from the groin up to the head with strands between them before they snap, and a shell like substance starts covering the halves as the organs reform* I almost threw up there, great job.


    Technically speaking, everyone starts off as 1 cell splitting into two cells, then four, so on and so forth.
  7. Yeah I can remember the day too. I was only 12 at the time, and about 2 minutes before heading to school, there was a big "America under attack" headline, and both me and mum were wondering what was going on. The majority of the school day was spent listening to the radio to try and find out what was going on.

  8. I haven't been many places, but heere it goes.

     

    FAVOURITES:

     

    Coolum Beach-QLD. It's got some of the nicest beaches and being in town nice, even if there isn't that much to do.

     

    Caloundra-QlD. It's got some nice beaches and stuff, and a reasonable amount of stuff to do.

     

    DISLIKES:

     

    I am very not keen on going down to Melbourne or anywhere in Victoria for that matter. The majority of people I've met from there were either really annoying, or arrogant. Or both.

  9. I had a wierd dream the other night where I was chased by a large alien frog, which had a face similar to a baby orangutan, and ran like a doberman. It couldn't be killed nor could it swim, it just sank. I tried shooting it a couple times, but it just layed there and made funny noises. If it tried eating you, well that was quite wierd too. It didn't have teeth, so it'd just somehow stick your head in its mouth and you walked around with this frog thing on your head as if it was a hat.

    They look like they were out of Midway.

    Apart from that:
    The scene leading up to the first battle in 300.
    Theres so many parts out of the Die Hards I think of any favourites. I haven't sat down and watched any movies for a long time so I can't think of any more off the top of my head.

    A little off topic here, but am I the only "adult" here who isn't in, hasn't gone through, or isn't planning on going through grad school?


    I didn't even finish high school, so uni is completely ruled out for me.
