This thread is getting retarded by the second...

PANZERCATWAGON · « **Reply #41 on:** August 16, 2007, 10:32:02 am »

I agree, back to any questions anyone had?

What is the air-speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

Obscurantism (from the Latin obscurant, "making dark") is the practice of deliberately preventing the facts or full details of something from becoming known.

Either that's what you guys are doing by making these threads, or you don't know what you're talking about.

You don't know what your talking about.

Being openly editable means that it is self-correcting, not prone to error. Most Wikipedia articles have credible citations, and unlike books or journals, Wikipedia remains current and up-to-date.

It still fails, there. Not completely, but you failed too.

I now understand Obscurantism. Following it means you can't be specific about anything.

Yeah, it would be terrible to learn about Obscurantism from experts. It's much better to rely on two kids who like to think they know what they're talking about.

http://www.style.org/unladenswallow/ says it's about 24 miles an hour. Well... that's the european one of course. But what if it carried a coconut? But then again, a five ounce bird could never carry a one pound coconut.

NI!

Nope, still don't get it. Panzer knows more about it than you do!

I'm waiting Panzer.

Supposing two European swallows carried it together? On a line, a strand of creeper, held under the dorsal guidance feathers.

Very well written.
Hopefully it will stop a whole load of whining. I liked that thread, rather the intention it had.
May I ask why you didn't 'go for it'?

Because it is my goal, at some point, to die.

That may sound stupid because everyone dies, but most people don't actually want to die. I do want to die, I don't care when, but I do not fear death in the slightest.

If that were true you'd be dead already ô.o

Haha, yes it would seem so, but I don't want to go into that.

Haha panzer, I thought it was akin to PLATO'S KING PHILOSOPHY(which it actually is, but yeah smegma is a pretentious fuck

)

I somewere heard (Its a trustworth sorce i know that.). That gamma particles (may be pictured as beams in situasions) whit a certain amount of energy, though not enough to get trew an thin obsticle, bounce back. from the surfice of the obsticle. Easy you think. However. If theres 1 particles hitting the surfice at the same time, or a particle whit just a inch from not getting over, It will suddenly appear on the other side of the obsticle. (Dont bother aboute the mesurement problem has nothing to do whit this)
As if it had teleported.

Why does it do that?

(I think asking questions whats this tread is all about)

All I know is that only assholes don't bother with checking if the thread is actually a million years old.

Rai-Dei · « **Reply #57 on:** April 23, 2008, 02:07:11 pm »

Its about a year old, but its gonna help the new forumers understand Smegma's topic better.
