alaric saltzman: tym 2 ask my own:

1. The office team is out racing at the skating rink during a long lunch hour. Samantha beat Jim. Louise was not last. Dennis was beaten by Jack and Louise, in that order. Jim was not first. Jack lost to Jim. Who won?

2. When Jim was taking a stroll one day, he met his father-in-law's only daughter's mother-in-law. What did he call her?

3. You bought 2 antique lamps for $50 each. Later, you were offered $60 for one and you sold it, changed your mind when you saw its duplicate being sold for more, and bought it back for $70. You then sold it for $80. The first one didn't sell at all so you reduced it by 10% below what you originally paid and managed to sell it. Did you make or lose money on the deal, and how much?

1. Samantha
2. Edit: oops mother, not in law
3. $5 profit

obadiah777: HMMMM. LET ME ASK YOU, ARE YOU GERMAN ? IS WIEGRAF A GERMAN NAME ?

THE STORY BEHIND THE NAME IS PATHETIC. I WAS PLAYING A GAME, DIDN'T WANT TO USE USUAL HANDLE ON INSTINCT, USED GAME CHAR'S. INCIDENTALLY THE CHAR WAS ANTI-THEIST, AND I DID THIS BEFORE FULLY DISCARDING RELIGION OR KNOWING ABOUT NL/RELIGION. IT WAS MEANT TO BE...
IT'S PROBABLY A CORRUPTION OF WIGLAF, A NORDIC NAME (which might have originated from germany, etc...) /uselessinfo

YOU PICK 777 BECAUSE THAT'S THE KIND OF PLANE YOU WANT TO HIJACK?

obadiah777: I AM NOT ARGUING ABOUT TIME PERCEPTION. YOU SAID 'OLDER PEOPLE HAVE SHORTER DAYS BECAUSE THEY HAVE A LOT MORE INFORMATION TO CONTEND WITH'. THIS IS THE ONLY POINT I WAS TRYING TO CORRECT. WHICH I SAID IT WAS SCIENTIFIC HERESY BECAUSE LACK OF ENZYMES IS WHY OLDER PEOPLE HAVE SHORTER DAYS. HOWEVER MAYBE I WAS JUMPING THE GUN. LET ME ASK YOU. WHAT DID YOU MEAN BY 'SHORTER DAYS' ?

YEAH, LIKE YOU IMPLY HERE, I MEANT TIME PERCEPION. MAYBE I WASN'T CLEAR, HEATHEN. ENZYMES I SUPPOSE SCIENCE MIGHT DEAL WITH FAIRLY EASILY. TIME PERCEPTION I WOULD ASSUME WOULD REQUIRE EXPANDING THE BRAINS CAPACITY/SPEED OR DELETING OLDER MEMORIES. PERHAPS NOT SO EASY TO SOLVE.

obadiah777: ENZYMES CONTROL EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS IN YOUR BODY. I MEAN ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING. THE LESSER ENZYMES YOU HAVE THE OLDER YOU START TO LOOK AND FEEL.

WIKI, BUT REFERENCED, SEE THE SECTION ON LONG TERM TO SEE WHAT I SPEAK OF, HEATHEN. ENZYMES ARE PROBABLY RELEVANT, BUT IN OTHER WAYS

Delafruita: reminds me of an issue that happened a while ago.a big Bro of mine met a fine christian gal in church and somehow god 'showed' them and the pastor that she was his missing rib.naturally,she said she was a virgin and Bro didnt attempt to reach 3rd base till wedding night then VOILA,she wasnt a virgin.the suprising thing was she maintained her stance on been a virgin.her explanation-anyone who is in christ is a new creature,old things have passed away and all things have become new.hence the moment she gave her life to christ,she became a new creature hence a born again virgin.

Oddly enough, her logic isn't that bad. I admire her creativity...

REALLY? I'LL LOOK IT UP. IT COULD BE BOTH AS WELL. YOUR BRAIN ALSO CONSTANTLY MAKES CONNECTIONS, DO THE ENZYMES AFFECT THAT?

EDIT: THINKING ABOUT IT THOUGH WHY WOULD ENZYMES AFFECT PERCEPTION OF TIME?

Ignoring crazies who want you dead just because, there's the issue of real estate in the brain. Older people have shorter days because they have a lot more information stored up to contend with. They start thinking about something, have experience, frameworks etc to compare with. Young people don't and rather have space to fill with knowledge, experiences etc. If you really think about it, live long enough and you're bound to grow crazy eventually.
Lack of fresh ideas, population problems (as already mentioned), and unknown benefits (or disadvantages) of random genetic mutations. Any other (non spiritual abeg) problems one can think of? It might not be a straight forward issue. From here on out though it seems we will determine how we evolve. And there's also the predicted singularity....

Inb4 hubris, arrogance, die because god said so, or heaven etc
also as it's 2012, WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE SOON anyways

Is this pro-teh-ghey or anti-teh-ghey? I came here thinking bigot to bash only to find non...

Links or it didn't happen op

This is an interesting article....
Intended audience (of sorts) doesn't care though

Observe how the religious want to make sure you die, just because.

Or, 'what road will your partner suggest I do not take?' Will point out the correct one.


Even if he were too short to reach button 8, why does he go to the top when its raining? Consierge?

Uyi Iredia: This post is silly. Just as you've proven yourself to be multiple times. I make a valid point about atheists position. You brag about it being stupid. How can you do science when you yourself said nobody knows ? I will let your comment on the 'sky tyrant' pass . . . for now.

Valid point?

You eediot you do science when you do not know, that's the whole point.
I didn't brag about it being stoopid, I said it was stoopid, that's a fact.

Now you just trollin'

Double post

Uyi Iredia: And I'm sick and tired of atheists as yourself pretending that their position doesn't require them to believe that either the universe sprang out of nothing or it always existed. Saying that they don't know is a cheap cop-out to prevent investigation into this all important matter of where the universe came from.

And making up stuff is a better, more honest approach?
Why make such a stoopid comment, who's preventing who? The one who wants to go about doing the science or the one who claims to already have the answers so we shouldn't bother? Meanwhile presenting sky tyrant and his gang of imaginary friends...

Tinkybabe: @

You are still missing the point.the answer you have provided has only helped in identifying the two men and not the way out.In other words,you'd have to ask another question to get out of day and the riddle does not permit that.
Now, I rephrase the question: What one question can you ask the guards(good and bad) to know the way out?

'what road would you partner suggest I take?' They will both lie

obadiah777: I SEE YOU DONE HAD ONE TOO MANY GULDER. LOL

WHO MADE GOD'S PURPOSE THEN?

WackyJ1: Nobody promised anybody real resurrection. Only a genjutsu where perhaps the dead can come alive again but a genjutsu is a genjutsu and i don't think Obito confused it for reality as in madara really promising to bring Rin back from the dead. He doesn't believe he's going to resurrect everybody so that he can kill them again, that defeats the Tsuki no me plan's purpose.

As for the reason why he should hate Konoha lets not speculate yet lets chill and watch how Madara go twist story put for Obito head..

Genjutsu or no doesn't matter, all that matters is they'd be real to him, or whoever is in the genjutsu. It's a derp philosophy thing, sort of similar to how zetsu doesn't care about dying, he knows there's a copy out there. Or star trek and teleporters, teleporter actually kills you then rassembles an exact copy elsewhere.

Life gives itself a purpose simply by being alive. 'God' would face the same dilemma (if indeed it is a problem) either ways.

This sort of relates to morality (careful, a certain someone may be peeking), and setting goals for moral codes etc.

A = false
B=true

Ask A, "would B say B is the liar", yes
Ask B, "would A say A is the liar", no
So ask anyone, if he says yes, you're talking the liar, else the other one.

Each syllable is 5




Edit:36 and 19 ... I suddenly can't count..well not so sudden, have good reason *wink*, anyone?anybody?meh never mind

tayoccu: Correct me if I'm wrong, but kishi showed us a scene in the anime where kakashi was talking to Rin @ obito's grave after hizuren died, she was a grown woman, and she was in anbu gear.

I think you speak of the gf of one of the examiners, the one that looked always sick, killed by the sand nin

musKeeto: hehehehehehe... lmao... the thread dey smell lux, lux...

Dohohohohohohohohohohoho

Next2Bezee: Early!!! going to read now

EDIT: Nothing New, I still fail to see why Obito will see this as enough reason to attack the leaf, Isn't it logical that there must have something that happened to make Kakashi do this?? Or has Obito secretly just been looking for a reason to hate Kakashi??

I've not noticed tobi being particularly sadistic like orochi. Heartless and efficient yes, but there's no particular pleasure from inflicting pain. He believes he is going to resurrect everyone that he's killed, so he can kill guilt free. The downside being he MUST succeed, else a lot of people would have died for nothing, hence his single-mindedness and dedication to the plan.

But yeah, why the hate for konoha? Frankly, I think he in particular could care less, he's just putting on a show, except maybe he thinks them hypocrites. Madara though hates them for real, for whatever reasons. Then again tobi didn't need to unleash kurama maybe? Tobi's actions in rain, where he made them kill each other, controlled their kage etc would seem to imply maybe some sort of revenge, maybe he blames them for her death. So kakashi probably clean here from that angle...



Edit: yeah that's his real eye, else I would have said maybe some zetsu clone impersonating kakashi

Yes, if you've read chapter, wtf just happened... I would have said zetsu/madara setup, but he was viewing stuff using left eye, so that's his real eye on that...

mkmyers45: You throw away the outside
and cook the inside. Then
you eat the outside and
throw away the inside. What did you eat?

Just about any animal that can be skinned and has bones would qualify. A few fruit too. Unless your 'eat' isn't literal...

this is early
http://www.mangapanda.com/naruto/604/

mkmyers45: Its google actually

heh, I was thinking so... That's why I spelled google googol (the correct spelling) earlier, but it also could have been teh, which I also used in that post. Either ways, that's still more of trivia, lots of people don't know what a gogool is...

Google is now a word on its own anyways, with its own meaning. And ok is OK, probably abused more

He stops on the 7th floor to do something he doesn't want others to see, which won't take place when it rains? Solo master?

"Defending a statement logically is what matters."

Someone once said if religious people were logical then they wouldn't be religious.

You could be a muslim and defend statements logically, something your esteemed bro could have stated without showing his barbarism. But if you really believe the statements you make and want to logically address a faith based system, well, note the word faith. It isn't supposed to be logical, it is supposed to be sky daddy or whatever gods makes me happy against reason, I'll cling on to faith since it comforts me.

By the way, in other news, many religious people forget this when they are judging people not of their faith and assume they have some sort of 'truth' which gives them reason to do as they please and trample on rights, like women's rights, as you and your bros have so graciously demonstrated. You have shown some of the inherent hypocrisy in Islam (there's lots, lots, more) as well, glaringly obvious to everyone except muslims. Also, you've demonstrated how many of your arguments are flimsy, as they are based on unjustified beliefs. Your bros would still force them on others (against reason) though without compunction if they could. Nay? They've already stated that their women are more or else property, they'd extend the honor to kafirs, etc if they could.
Anyways, Islam has a very special hell for kafirs, and its doctrine is immutable (despite being designed for the 7th century). Not to mention a prophet who took up arms himself, married a 6 year old, held slaves, massacred villages, started his own political system based on 7th century conditions, etc etc and is still considered the model human that most muslims aim to emulate. Put these things together, join them with the lack of reason in a faith based system, and you might find you are wasting your time here, also, its dangerous. You continue to question, that hell I mentioned is where your bros would believe you should be, and sadly, many would recommend their 7th century laws stand and thus you should be killed for having different views. In their minds, they would actually be doing the morally good thing, after all it's in the books, which don't lie and cannot be questioned. At the very least you will be ostracized, they don't want themselves or their loved ones going to hell with you, so they wouldn't want your evil influence. Maybe you should just zip it.

For instance, these guys still think it cool to stone people to death for (alleged) adultery
http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=9eb_1293414372

Others think it ok to stone victims of rape, 13 yr old ones too
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/nov/02/somalia-gender

It's the immutable law, they do not think there is anything wrong with these

Islamophobia doesn't exist...

ramble ramble ramble
heh heh, macdaddy, is that you?

4, Jennifer is 15

Tinkybabe: TRY THESE



1)You can take four of the five letters out of this word, but the pronunciation never changes. What is the word?

2)A man who lives on the tenth floor takes the elevator down to the first floor every morning and goes to work. In the evening, when he comes back; on a rainy day, or if there are other people in the elevator, he goes to his floor directly. Otherwise, he goes to the seventh floor and walks up three flights of stairs to his apartment.
Can you explain why?

3)You find yourself in a strange place guarded by two guards.One of the guard always say truth while other always lies.You dontknow the identity of the two.You can ask only one question to go out from there. What should you ask?

4)If Susan is 10, Arabella is 20, and Jim and Neal are both 5, but Richard is 10, how much is Jennifer by the same system?



5)A newspaper is supposed to have 60 pages
but pages 24 and 41 are missing.
Which other pages won't be there?

Gotta run...
3 is popular...
Who would your partner say is the liar? If he says the partner would say himself, then the partner is the honest one, else reverse

5
Is pages and leaves? 36 and 21

2 looks juicy, I'll be back for it

4, you've not told anything about jennifer, I'm missing something?

Edit, oops, no 3 corrected

Steve Woz interviewed by slashdot community... fairly interesting

musKeeto: Na... the truck would probably have burned some fuel, which could be equal to the weight of the bird...

Bravo good ser, and...

....I was going to say that....
well, it actually never crossed my mind..
