[Bob27]

I guess the English Mountains are in England. Anyone think so?

 

[ragingspeedhorn]

Which country has the worlds largest cheese?

 

[Dork990]

@ bob: That would be too easy....



@ ragingspeedhorn: I have absolutely no idea at all :?

 

[Chaotica]

Oh, I have one - And I know the answer, I'll give it later

How can people have Near-Death experiences?

 

[GST_Nemisis]

[Chaotica]

I found the answer to your question

Which country has the worlds largest cheese?

Largest Cheese
Agropur made a cheddar weighing 26.09 tonnes (57,508 lb 8 oz) for Loblaws Supermarkets Ltd at Granby, Quebec, Canada on September 7, 1995. Over 245,000 kg (540,000 lb) of milk were used to make the giant cheddar.

Found it at: http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/content_pages/record.asp?recordid=49166

 

[Malufa]

Do you know which countries leading export is cheese?

Anyone know where one can buy a DJ Mystick CD?

Anyone ever wonder what colours you cannot see look like?

 

[Shados]

Anyone ever wonder what colours you cannot see look like?

Yes, but have YOU ever wondered that the colour you call green looks the same to you as the colour I call purple does to me? Perhaps everyone's favourite colour is actually the same colour but we all perceive the colours differently. Makes you think, don't it?

 

[Miznunkey]

A collision!

I think I have the answer to the 'Near Death Experience' one. Heh.

Kinda like when you have a 'near miss.' You know... when someone says:

"That car nearly missed me!"

NO IT DIDN'T! If it almost missed you, it would have hit you! That is a COLLISION!

So a near death experience is when you almost get squashed by a gigantic slab of cheese from Canada but manage to escape??? Do I get cash if I'm right?

Actually Shados what is one of my favourite philosophical points to bring up with people. How do you know the sky is not really green and you just call it blue because other people do? If we both look at the same picture do we see the same colours or do we just use similar words and assume we see the same thing?

It is like when you think of it, think of how much power is in a word. In the modern age this is often overlooked, but I encourage you to really get your mind into it. With almost no effort I can cause you to think of something, and with some time I can describe to you something you have never seen before. That is a lot of power when you think about it.

Take for instance a volleyball. what do you think of? A light-weight, rubber-like spherical object with line in it. How is it different from say a basketball? With that simple of a description it is not at all, but add in one small word and it is; white. That was all it took, one single word and my audience's entire state of mind was changed and their concept of my words changed. Pretty freaking awesome I think.

Where are the English mountains?

did you see this from my location? well if you did the mountains i am refering to are the pennines. there are a long range of mountans that covers 3/4 of England vertically (or latitudually?) and they are famous for they beauty, terrain and, as with most mountains, tendance to get very very rainy. they are favoured by hikers who often travel the whole length of the country on a hike called the pinnine walk. if you ever get a chance you should check them out because they are a master peice of british countryside and greenery.

near death expericence is when a slight change could had caused your death.

 

[Malufa]

I liked Wales better than I did england, Emil loved Wales so much he staid there while I left for other parts. Those of you who will play Dark and Light with me will get to meet some of my closest friends as well as my real life twin, who will also be my game life twin :shock:

 

[GST_Nemisis]

my question out of the blue:

lol do you know what English people say about Welsh people?

 

[Malufa]

Yes I hear it all the time from my english friends.

Speaking of which, Emil's accent has gotten so bad it is hard for even me to understand him.

 

[GST_Nemisis]

welsh accent?

 

[Shados]

Actually Shados what is one of my favourite philosophical points to bring up with people.

Mine too, .

If we both look at the same picture do we see the same colours or do we just use similar words and assume we see the same thing?

More than we just use similar words, but we have both been taught that that particular colour we see has that name, although if you saw it as I do it might look like what a different colour looks like to you. The only problem with this topic is it's incredibly hard to explain, =/

"In the beggining there was the word, and the word was God."

Or something like that.


P.S. It was really hard to get all the colour codes etc. right here lol.

 

[Malufa]

I was speaking from a non-biblical standpoint and am refering to philology which I know I have and I believe I share it with Dan and perhaps you. If I remember correctly, that is the love of words, something that Ronald Tolkien also admitted to having as well as his closest friend, whom you might know as CS Lewis.

 

[Shados]

Oh yes, I agree about words. I was just quoting the bible to make a point, which if you think about it gets pretty complex. The bible says "The word was God" and all, and itself is a collection of words that have held sway over many human's beliefs for thousands of years. Simple words, nothing more. And I love words too, but my Microsoft Word is kind of retarded in that department, I once spell checked something of mine and it came up saying "Wordiness - Consider revising" about a sentance if mine XD.

 

[Malufa]

Yes well it is hard to edit english into a comprehensive and fully understandable manner without becoming too verbose and thus creating run-on sentances that never truely dseem to end because the propensity for words within said sentance is so numerous that many people seem to thin that it is actually a paragraph and thus needs many different sentance denotations and, while the author may agree, finds to be beside the point of which he is failing to make at this time. :roll:

:shock:

 

[Steven]

Haha, well said. I could not agree with you more on that one. =)

 

[GST_Nemisis]

Lol that was quite a mouthful

what is the best pc game ever? and what is the best of recent years?

ever would be FF8, recently CS:S or Oblivion!

 

[Malufa]

If anyone mentions Oblivion again until my new computer gets here I will cut out your heart and feed it to the Goddess Lloth. I will then trap your soul in a gem and sell it to the highest bidding demon for more power, leaving you to your eternal damnation with more than a smirk on my face.

I would not count FF VIII as a computer game seeing how it is really a PS game that they opted to make on the computer as well, but other than that I would have to say: Rinoa!

Currently I would say... Nothing comes to mind, sorry.

 

[Shados]

Lol that was quite a mouthful

what is the best pc game ever? and what is the best of recent years?

ever would be FF8, recently CS:S or O*******!

Not CS:S, the other one. And yes FF8 is the best pc game ever, and neatly ties with Chrono Cross and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for best game ever, at least to me.





P.S. Seeing as I sold my soul for power a long, long time ago I just can't resist this:



OBLIVIONOBLIVIONOBLIVIONOBLIVION
OBLIVIONOBLIVIONOBLIVIONOBLIVION
OBLIVIONOBLIVIONOBLIVIONOBLIVION
OBLIVIONOBLIVIONOBLIVIONOBLIVION

 

[GST_Nemisis]

LOL u havent got oblivion yet?!?! omg the side quests rule! make sure u get some of the mod fixes and the water fixer first though, other wise u may get some bugs and really poor water quality.

 

[Malufa]

I just bought the collectors edition today, my new computer should be here by wednessday. The reason I did not buy it before was that it did not work on a mac, which is what I am currently using.

 

[GST_Nemisis]

i have always wondered what the strongest material in the world is, theoretical or real. i thought it was diamond because of the bond strength and macromolecular structure where the carbon bonds are extreemly hard to break. however, i dont know if there are stronger materials. i have heard of buck minster fullerines that have been deloped in a macromolecular structure that means they cannot be compressed, ever, because the bonds push against each other in a way that makes their structure stronger. the only way you could compress it would be to force it together so much the electrons cannot repel each other. is this true and are there any other cases of increadbly strong materals?

 

[Malufa]

In comics it would be an adimantium-vibranium alloy, like captain america's shield. In books I would go for Heartstone, both of which have the same basic principle. Virtually indesctructable material which gets stronger the more force is exerted onto it.

Real life I would have to go with S4.

 

[GST_Nemisis]

what is S4?

oh and another one would be unabtainium from the core which gets stronger the more pressure you apply and turns heat into electrisity.

 

[Malufa]

Fourth generation steel, lighter than 03, greater tensile strength than spider silk, and about as dense as we can make it.

Question: Do You Believe This?

[Malufa]

That is pretty funny if you ask me. I wonder if they plan on changing the meaning of the A to compensate.

 

[GST_Nemisis]

Can you become resistate to Arsenic or do you just get killed by it? (you may know where i got this question from )

 

[Malufa]

You can make your body resistant to just about anything if you do it properly.

 

[GST_Nemisis]

even lava?

 

[Shados]

No. Humans in lava are like snowballs in hell.

 

[Malufa]

Notice the phrase "just about" in my statement.

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

Tsk tsk, always a get-out clause.

 

[Malufa]

Very rarely are things ever 100%.

 

[Rao Dao Zao]

Except death and taxes. 8)

 

[Healingpoison]

lol
Was Chris Columbus the first European to reach the Americas? (I'm testing you)

And,
Who stared in the movie Shrek? Wait... nvm that question.

 

[GST_Nemisis]

btw the even lava thing was a joke, obviously.

 

[Healingpoison]

What is the plural of blunderbuss?

 

[Malufa]

Vikings were the first recorded Europeans to make landfall in the Americas, however there is reason to believe that Heracule (the greek version of Hercules who was based on a historical character) accidentally was lost in an area near the bermuda triangle.

 

[Healingpoison]

Hmm....

Eric the Red (Viking) I believe was the leader of the vikings that landed in America. Though, sadly, many people believe Chris Columbus was.

 

[Malufa]

You are close; Erik founded Greenland and hen one of his raiders first set foot on the shores of Vinland. Erik, however, being intelligent, claimed it as his own discovery and inherited the money from the colony.

 

[Healingpoison]

You're good.

 

[Malufa]

I like history. I also like religions, philosophy, metaphysics, quantum mechanics and theory, fuzzy logic, and languages.
