What Sapiryl said. I love WinXP, has been great so far, but nooo...stupid BIO...

 

S_G - I'm a better elf than Bloomers - I don't need a wig or fake ears to start with, and my face is just the right shape.

 

Hehe Yerril. Are you still trying to fish out Tiamat?

My geography teacher pisses me off. Tomorrow is the second last day of school until summer. He expects us to do a test naming AND placing ALL the states in the right place, name their capitals and locate them as well. It's worth 100 points and you need a 60 to pass. Hell, *I'm* not studying!

 

What!!? DinoTiggy? Yawning in IT! Impossible, Oh well, I missed today at school so I'm not complaining

 

I don't understand...how can you be eight people?

 

We had sports day heats yesterday, after running 2km, I think that I am really dead, maybe an undead. Because I definately feel like it. After the race I managed to down...
2 cans of sprite
1 bottle of water
3 calypso's

 

I missed sports Day!!!!!!

I am poopy at running, walking, throwing, jumping and everything else for that matter.

I missed it coz i was ill and my Mobile Phone came in the post too!

Now i can compose silly tones...

 

Oh dear, TS

Today I'm back to school! A four day weekend because I couldn't move and wasn't well, I have song lyrics in my head and I will probably keep asking (Can anyone else hear that music?)

 

I wonder whats going on. I've made a few post and for a week or two now they havn't been showing up. I even get that page saying thanks for posting. :hmmm:

 

Tal ... sorry to hear about your ankle. That's what happens when you miss a reflex save. Next time don't put all your points in charisma & intelligence

 

I'm going swimming today, and also looking at a camper that we may buy. But I'm mostly looking forward to swimming.

I stole this from somewhere ...

The Cartoon Laws of Physics!
-----------------------

Cartoon Law I
=============
Any body suspended in space will remain in space until made aware of its
situation.

Daffy Duck steps off a cliff, expecting further pastureland. He loiters
in midair, soliloquizing flippantly, until he chances to look down. At
this point, the familiar principle of 32 feet per second per second takes
over.


Cartoon Law II
==============
Any body in motion will tend to remain in motion until solid matter
intervenes suddenly.

Whether shot from a cannon or in hot pursuit on foot, cartoon characters
are so absolute in their momentum that only a telephone pole or an outsize
boulder retards their forward motion absolutely. Sir Isaac Newton called
this sudden termination of motion the stooge's surcease.


Cartoon Law III
===============
Any body passing through solid matter will leave a perforation conforming
to its perimeter.

Also called the silhouette of passage, this phenomenon is the specialty
of victims of directed-pressure explosions and of reckless cowards who
are so eager to escape that they exit directly through the wall of a
house, leaving a cookie-cutout-perfect hole. The threat of skunks or
matrimony often catalyzes this reaction.


Cartoon Law IV
==============
The time required for an object to fall twenty stories is greater than or
equal to the time it takes for whoever knocked it off the ledge to spiral
down twenty flights to attempt to capture it unbroken.

Such an object is inevitably priceless, the attempt to capture it
inevitably unsuccessful.


Cartoon Law V
=============
All principles of gravity are negated by fear.

Psychic forces are sufficient in most bodies for a shock to propel them
directly away from the earth's surface. A spooky noise or an adversary's
signature sound will induce motion upward, usually to the cradle of a
chandelier, a treetop, or the crest of a flagpole. The feet of a
character who is running or the wheels of a speeding auto need never touch
the ground, especially when in flight.


Cartoon Law VI
==============
As speed increases, objects can be in several places at once.

This is particularly true of tooth-and-claw fights, in which a character's
head may be glimpsed emerging from the cloud of altercation at several
places simultaneously. This effect is common as well among bodies that
are spinning or being throttled. A `wacky' character has the option of
self-replication only at manic high speeds and may ricochet off walls to
achieve the velocity required.


Cartoon Law VII
===============
Certain bodies can pass through solid walls painted to resemble tunnel
entrances; others cannot.

This trompe l'oeil inconsistency has baffled generations, but at least it
is known that whoever paints an entrance on a wall's surface to trick an
opponent will be unable to pursue him into this theoretical space. The
painter is flattened against the wall when he attempts to follow into the
painting. This is ultimately a problem of art, not of science.


Cartoon Law VIII
================
Any violent rearrangement of feline matter is impermanent.

Cartoon cats possess even more deaths than the traditional nine lives
might comfortably afford. They can be decimated, spliced, splayed,
accordion-pleated, spindled, or disassembled, but they cannot be
destroyed. After a few moments of blinking self pity, they reinflate,
elongate, snap back, or solidify.

Corollary: A cat will assume the shape of its container.


Cartoon Law IX
==============
Everything falls faster than an anvil.


Cartoon Law X
=============
For every vengeance there is an equal and opposite revengeance.

This is the one law of animated cartoon motion that also applies to the
physical world at large. For that reason, we need the relief of watching
it happen to a duck instead.


Cartoon Law Amendment A
=======================
A sharp object will always propel a character upward.

When poked (usually in the buttocks) with a sharp object (usually a pin),
a character will defy gravity by shooting straight up, with great velocity.


Cartoon Law Amendment B
=======================
The laws of object permanence are nullified for "cool" characters.

Characters who are intended to be "cool" can make previously nonexistent
objects appear from behind their backs at will. For instance, the Road
Runner can materialize signs to express himself without speaking.


Cartoon Law Amendment C
=======================
Explosive weapons cannot cause fatal injuries.

They merely turn characters temporarily black and smoky.


Cartoon Law Amendment D
=======================
Gravity is transmitted by slow-moving waves of large wavelengths.

Their operation can be witnessed by observing the behavior of a canine
suspended over a large vertical drop. Its feet will begin to fall first,
causing its legs to stretch. As the wave reaches its torso, that part
will begin to fall, causing the neck to stretch. As the head begins to
fall, tension is released and the canine will resume its regular
proportions until such time as it strikes the ground.


Cartoon Law Amendment E
=======================
Dynamite is spontaneously generated in "C-spaces" (spaces in which
cartoon laws hold).

The process is analogous to steady-state theories of the universe which
postulated that the tensions involved in maintaining a space would cause
the creation of hydrogen from nothing. Dynamite quanta are quite large
(stick sized) and unstable (lit). Such quanta are attracted to psychic
forces generated by feelings of distress in "cool" characters (see
Amendment B, which may be a special case of this law), who are able to
use said quanta to their advantage. One may imagine C-spaces where all
matter and energy result from primal masses of dynamite exploding. A big
bang indeed.

Jen found this gem in the Autobiography of Chuck Young, the creator of
the Road Runner cartoons.

"Rules that we obeyed in the Coyote-Road Runner Series:"

1. The Road Runner cannot harm the coyote exept by going "Beep Beep!"

2. No outside force can harm the Coyote-only his own ineptitude or the
failure of the ACME products.

3. The Coyote could stop anytime -- IF he were not a fanatic. "A fanatic
is one who redoubles his effort when he has forgotten his aim" -George
Santayana.

4. No dialogue ever, except "Beep Beep!"

5. The road Runner must stay on the road -- otherwise, logically, he would
not be called Road Runner.

6. All Action must be confined to the natural environment of the two
characters -- the Southwest American desert.

7. All material, tools, weapons, or mechanical conveniences must be
obtained from the ACME Corporation.

8. Whenever possible, make gravity the Coyote's greatest enemy.

9. The Coyote is always more humiliated than harmed by his failures

ROTFLMAO Wow that's really funny

Only 13 more days till summer hols!!!
Only 2 month and 1 day till my 15th birthday!!!

 

Well, since you people post so much, my last post was about a geography test. I aced the geography test. 81%. Go me!!!

 

81%? And you said you did no revision

NWN here in 3 days (If they delay again I will go mad ) and I'm already on Sumerr Holidays

 

I got 87% in my geography test, and I didn't do any revision either, I also got 96% in French, but that exam was easy peasy, and I didn't do any revision for that either!

 

*sigh*
I'm stuck in the middle of Exams at the moment. I came into school, and after 10 mins I was in the Hall doing my French Listening GSCE. An hour later I had my German Listening GSCE. After 2 Hours we had a 15 min break. Then back into the hall for a Maths GSCE, only finding out I had no calculator!
I spent 5 mins running round school trying to find some damned gullible year7 willing to give me theirs... came into exam 10mins late.
After 1 and a half hours of Maths, we had a English Literature Exam. After an hour of that; I took my Swedish Oral Supplementary GSCE.

Tomorrows Lineup:
8.30 - Morning Registration
8:45 - French Second/Reading GSCE
9:45 - German Second/Reading GSCE
-------
9:45-10:00 - Morning Break
-------
10:00 - Core Science GSCE
11:00 - Double Science GSCE
12:00-12:15- Lunch Break
-------
12:15pm - Core Science Second GSCE
13:15pm - Double Science Second GSCE
-------
14:15pm - Afternoon Registration
14:30pm - End of School

*sigh*
What a**hole thought it was a good idea to squeeze all exams into one week?! Ah well, back to revision...

[edit] On a lighter note; my 500th post!!! [edit]

Lol Gopher. I finished my GCSEs a week ago

Anyway, they should have calculators in the exam room for you to borrow if you don't have one, and anyway, there is plenty of spare time in Maths GCSE papers. Both papers I had over half the time spent doing pretty much nothing other than checking it once or twice.

Heh, you're one of the Lucky one's then aren't you? I've got 3 weeks to wait 'til my summer holidays!
And in 2 Days, i'm taking my French, German, Spanish and Swedish Oral Speaking exams!! Day after, there's the English Romeo+Juliet Oral Presentation!
5 Languages..*grumble*..

[MAY? my first one was last week!!!]
Yeah but seeing as i'm not english, these English exams aren't exactly helping!

[This message has been edited by Gopher (edited June 26, 2002).]

 

Bah, I did 5 languages too (although I did one a year early), and I survived (barely). Did your exams on just start? My first exam was way back on May 10th.
