Oh, you're giving us license to use google? Don't mind if I do  |

Sounds like Charles Dickens. This is up his alley, but he's too talented to be accused of plagiarism. Well, being accused doesn't make him guilty. My guess is Charles Dickens. But then his most popular book is Oliver Twist, I think. Oh snap. I'll think harder |

Well, it's not so easy if one does not use google. Only God knows more stuff than google. Is that guy still writing? I've outgrown his writings a long time ago but I'm curious now |

[quote author=tpia@]author's name has three initials wrote well known trilogy which was made into a motion picture and has a fan following setting is earth, not top, or bottom, but___________[/quote]Waaaay too many clues. dominique: i've read a couple though i cant remember the titles cos i didnt enjoy them. One was about polluted water that was making the people in the small town act funny. The other was a collection of short stories which i didn't bother to complete (help me out with the titles if you know them). The author is thoroughly overrated imo.I think he's over rated too. From a 9/10 to 10/10, lol. He writes too much, I think. He doesn't wanna calm the eff down and put something really mindblowing together. That's why he doesn't have any books that really stand out like most authors do. He's over rated cuz his books end up as movies. Lemme try one: - This was the third book where the main character features - The name of the book's main character is the name of a real life person - The writer makes everything in his books happen within 24 hours What's the name of the book and author? |

| Food › Re: Which Soup Combination Do You Like The Most? by vescucci(m): 10:07am On Oct 04, 2012 |
Gbegi and ewedu Okra and Ogbonno Egusi and okra Those are the ones I can eat. Now, I've not eaten naija food in ages. If you gimme ewedu and okra, I'd probably eat it without complaining |

Let's not make this into one of our religious bashings. People have been killed and I'm sure it's not only Christians. Our problem is we cannot distinguish religious intolerance from tribal intolerance because mostly one tribe is predominantly of one religion and the other is of another. This is just so sad. I wish we'd scrap the SUG things. They have never benefited anyone except the students involved. Sometimes, not even them |

Anything more than 3 seasons is not for me. Actually, Rurouni Kenshin probably enjoys the nostalgic effect. I watched it when I was 14. I used to be maaaaad about Pokemon then and could recite them like scripture. So, I guess you're right. Please recommend adult stuff that will be really serious and not more than 3 seasons. Elfen Lied is cool but these people are children  |
| TV/Movies › Re: The Most Violent Anime You've Ever Watched? by vescucci(m): 3:36pm On Oct 03, 2012 |
Lol. Dude! I checked your list. You mean to tell me you ranked Rurouni Kenshin, one of my favourite anime EVER, 4/10?!!!! Waaaaat?!!!!! |

Smart folks roam these here parts, mi dear. Smart folks, I tells ya. Lemme try one since we've proven to be resourceful: I heard the author wrote this book while he was sick in the hospital. The book was made into a movie The author is bespectacled He writes a lot about Maine, which I suspect is his hometown but I'm not sure. Guess the book AND the author. |
| Literature › Re: Guess The Author Or The Book by vescucci(op): 8:24am On Oct 02, 2012 |
Dang! I have no idea. It sounds like a children's book though |

Ok. Let there be as many riddles as possible. When answering, you just quote the post of the riddler. Let's hope things won't get ridiculous  Also, formulate the riddle however you want. Just make sure the answer is a book or an authour or both even. And, er, make it sufficiently diffult that a simple google algorithm won't present you with the answer. You can't expect folks to be gentlemen and ladies in this 21st century. |

^^^Are you wiegraf? Lol, it's funny I just started to download One Piece cuz someone recommended him to me. I later realised what you said, it's one long ass show. First season from my torrent downloader preview seems to be 62 episodes!!! I have downloaded about 2.5Gb of it already so I'll just finish it. But I don't think I'll continue. When it's not Dragonauts Myanimelist, a friend of mine introduced me to it. I have an account but damn, I'm a novice compared to some folks!!! I'll check out your list since it's ranked. Thanks |
| Literature › Re: Guess The Author Or The Book by vescucci(op): 10:28am On Oct 01, 2012 |
Lol, sure anyone can participate. You're welcome I think it's Sue Grafton or something. Never read any of her books. I just see her books when I used to buy books from my University days. The first clue was just so, you know, easy  If I turn out to be wrong, this will be so embarrassing. The rules don't allow you to say it's correct till a day has passed. I dunno whether to change this. What do you think? |
| TV/Movies › Re: The Most Violent Anime You've Ever Watched? by vescucci(m): 6:24am On Oct 01, 2012 |
wiegraf: Amazon. Do you mean to pirate your anime? That's stealing. Don't you feel bad? You should. You might be a horrible, horrible personI have fairly unlimited bandwidth. But my external hard drives are almost full though. When it comes to good stuff to watch, I have a fear of some apocalypse that will bring down everything on the internet. So I collect a lot of movies and stuff that I wanna show my kids. ( '-') As for torrents, some of them have little seeders. Anyways, my favourite anime are those that don't drag on forever like Elfen Lied and Death Note. So, I don't even bother with stuff like Bleach. I've stopped following Naruto. It's starting to make me feel like Kishimoto makes his stories up as he goes. |
| TV/Movies › Re: The Most Violent Anime You've Ever Watched? by vescucci(m): 6:18am On Oct 01, 2012 |
I started Elfen Lied yesterday and the first episode made me shout "Good Lord" a couple of times. |
| TV/Movies › Re: The Most Violent Anime You've Ever Watched? by vescucci(m): 6:17am On Oct 01, 2012 |
PhysicsQED: I would recommend just watching them online (if you have the bandwidth, that is).Thanks man |
