I have recently re-discovered the Wikipedia article on Impossible Objects, and am now obsessed with learning how to draw a Blivet. Which, in itself, is an impossibility for me, since I was (quite formally) born with 2 left hands.

Today, when a teacher of ours wanted to point out an example for cooperation, helping each other and forging team spirit, he picked out a quote I said to him (of course, without mentioning I said it). That was a joyous moment. =)

"Probably". I would guess that something like that would work, but I've never used such a device... and it would seem like the only way you have to test this is to buy an NTSC game, which would be a rather annoying way to find out it doesn't work. If you're willing to risk the cost, then ...

So basically, if I buy a NTSC to PAL converter and use it to connect my PS3 to my TV, I can play whatever I want - both NTSC and PAL games? (I don't know if I have 720p; I believe I don't, mainly because it's more expensive.)

BonitoDeMadrid

Question: does the PS3 have a region limit? (meaning I can't play PAL games on my NTSC PS3 and vice versa)

I must have read each EG ES book at least 8 times now i just continue in a rotating cycle.

Since I'm near-broke, after spending most of my cash on driving lessons; I don't have an Xbox, Wii, or PS3, just the regular old PS2; and my computer is pretty lousy when it comes to advanced graphics and video games - - Currently, I'm mostly playing Peggle Nights, downloaded for free (after registe...

There are 3 Galactic Empire soldiers, 2 rebels, and 10 Ewoks. Is this entire board giant hairy animals?

The kracken ate Jack Sparrow, making him not cool.

On the contrary. The Kraken ate Jack Sparrow (I insist: CAPTAIN Jack Sparrow!), which makes him extra cool.

I mean, managing to eat a cool person like that makes you get some of his coolness. Ain't that right?

Just finished reading The Road, by Cormac McCarthy. An amazing book, though there's little to no catharsis; which some may find fitting with the (post-apocalyptic) theme, but I found a bit harsh. (I like happy endings)

Indeed; though it also serves as a great example to Stan Lee's immortal idiom, "with great power comes great responsibility" (which, in my case, would probably be to drive my younger brother and sister to places or to go grocery shopping). Also, and not less important, is the freedom this ...

From my SATs preparation book (rough translation):

3 cooks- Jean, Luc and Picard- have 3 skillets in 3 colors: bronze, silver and gold, and in 3 sizes: small, medium and large.

(and it goes on, but you get what made me giggle.)

A triumph most of you, if not all of you, will understand:
I passed my Driver's License exam!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ironically, in high school, the only place where I could get some extra credit- bonus questions and such- was on Math tests (and one Computer Science test).

I figured out it was Donkey Kong, but didn't (and still don't) have any idea what the C meant. So.. Donkey Kong Classic?

Wanted: a free foot massage. Very, very, very badly. (I'm right after a 4km run, which followed- though there was 1 hour between them- a 1.650 km swim, both done with intensity).

Also: a girlfriend. But that's not new.

And it could still be amka. Looks like it's hosted at the same company and was also registered via godaddy.

...how do you know these things? I'm just curious.

It just looked funny, because it reminded me how in DKC there was a goal to reach the perfect score of 101% XD

I keep trying to guess what game is DKC, but I can't come up with any acronyms...

Why do people named Richard automatically have the nickname Dick? What's the connection?

The key difference, at least in my opinion, is that heroin is considered bad by most, if not all people, nearly without debate. Your examples' 'badness' are more, how shall I put this, 'debatable'. My examples to the 'what tomorrow' questions, if any, would be thievery, murder, such. The question wo...

If an all-round chip is applied, that forbids us from doing bad, then yes, to some degree- we'd have Asimov's First Law (swap 'human' for 'half-robot') installed. But considering we'll all be 'robots', is that so bad?

Let me preface this by saying that my visits to the religion forum are sporadic, so for all I know this has been discussed to death and I just missed it. If so, go on about your business, nothing to see here. I can't pick better words for it. Now, to the issue. Consider the following scenario: Hero...

when examined closely enough, everything can be simplified to black and white. That said, I will introduce another of his arguments: "Any moral dilemma that may come about has come about by some fault of your own." (Sorry for the bump) Jota's example pretty much disproved this one, didn't...

Seeing as you used the world "could" in nearly all of these questions, and since we know nothing and everything about God- whether he exists or not- then I guess the answer, at least my answer, to nearly all of these questions (until the "are these ideas blasphemous?") questions,...

I watched FMA: Brotherhood until episode 35 or 36 (last episode I saw, *spoiler* they were just kicking Sloth out of Briggs fortress *end spoiler*); sadly, as often happens to me with anime, there came a time when I had to do too many things, and so I quit watching. Anyway, it's one of the greatest ...

Bob,

I need something or someone to make me happy. I mean really happy, not temporarily happy. Currently, life is moving between slightly happy and somewhat saddened and depressed. And it blows.

I do the reasonable thing, and go to the bathroom right before- like before a test; I don't wanna miss out.

Though, due to the fact that I will drink some beverages tonight, I guess I'll hold on to dear life.

Going over to my aunts and seeing that she has two boxes of Krispie Kreme donuts, a plate of cookies, and a bowl of chips sitting out. Proceeding to eat two donuts, two cookies, several handfulls of chips, and two deep fried tortilla hotdogs. ... but damn it was good. I agree with you so much on th...

Most reality TV shows, and in particular Jersey Shore. Game shows evolved into something so much more sinister than we could imagine.

I have taken on a new task: reading, from start to current, the entire Dinosaur Comics. (Which is pretty hard, considering it started back in February 2003, updates nearly every day, and I have to study for both my History finals and my SAT's.) So, I read and get from February 2003 to July 2003, whe...
