Who is Mohandas Karam Chand?(hint:Gokul is absolutely forbidden to answer) :wink:

Yes Sir John Ryan is Tom Clancy's protagonist, and he gets knighted (yeah, okay :rolleyes:) in Patriot Games for saving the Royal family from a breakaway wing of the IRA.

Poolwin, I saw BttF again only a couple of days ago...so I kinda got lucky there.

Who is the Celtic God of War worshipped in France about 2 millennia ago ?

Oops : This question goes into storage for now.

PS : I shall defer on Poolwin's question.

Interviewers: Who is Motifs ?

Motifs: Thanks, that is what I guess a lot of people are wondering. Anyway, I think I should have an self-introduction first so as not to be any impolite to all of you, my fans! I am a real fan of TV games, I spend at least 6 hours a day for games only because I try to conquer all of them but unfortunately have never made any success.
I love mathematics and coding theory. Here is an evidence I thought up just a few minutes ago about how to prove number 7 is really sick[/size].
Lets call Motifs ME and call Steve 7.
In a trivial counting problem for kids under 7, which i am sure all of you have experienced and finished, we all know that when we count upwards or downwards, 7 is also standing before or after 6.
It is a fact that even a kid realize: ...5.6.7.8...
I am really passive and Steve is an active person. So, he is always trying to do lots of things to make things move on...
Now let him(STEVE) put ME in any position in the above number series.

Case 1: ...ME.5.6.7.8...
You see that ME five SIX SEVEN eight..

Case 2:...5.ME.6.7.8...
Again Five is before ME, after ME is SIX SEVEN

Case 3:...5.6.ME.7.8...
In this special case, do you think it is what I said or Steven did ? It is him who always tries to gain an active position (a real multiple active user-sometimes Uniform sometimes Multiforms). Correct ?

Case 4: ...5.6.7.ME.8...
One more time, it is SEVEN who is actually after SIKS
The last case is meaningless to me because 6 is before 7...

Hmmm, is there any correction you think I should make in the above proof ?
By the way, anyone DARES not CARES to give me some information about WHO THE FOOK is this 6 Seven ?

As far as I can see, not only CANADIAN but AUTRALIAN is also really AFRAID to handle THIS THING, even though it was/is completely WRONG. and Actually THIS FOOKING THING HAS ALWAYS BEEN WRONG UP TO NOW.

So, DARE to tell me who the FUUK that topper is?

Er, Motifs, it would seem that your post is way OT. What do other 'regulars' to this thread think?
 
  • #46
Motifs seems to have a thing for the number 7. I won't even attempt to penetrate the fog here...
 
  • #47
Gosh, I thought I was getting better at math, but I sure didn't understand what Motifs posted. :rolleyes: *sigh* :frown:
Can we play the "who is" game some more, though, please? huh? huh? That was fun. :biggrin: :smile: :biggrin:

Who was

Marion Morrison
 
  • #49
Can we rule out any relation to The Lizard King?
 
  • #50
Marion Morrison is some famous dude's real name. I'm sure of this...it was like Buddy Holly or some pretty well known dude like that.

Dude, I know I've heard this before...I bet I'd get it if you gave me 5 choices. But for now, I'll go with Buddy Holly...dude ! :wink:
 
  • #51
No lizard king. No Holly, duke.

  • #53
:bugeye: duke!:bugeye: Of course, that's who :biggrin: ... but you're not supposed to answer your own question until other folks have given up. :confused:

Okay Ivan, since you answered, you ask again...

(poolwin : toutatis is correct :smile:)

I didn't expect many people to recognize the reference. I guess the "Duke" has more lasting power than I realized. I would expect everyone here to remember Gigantor, but the Duke...who knew?

Okay I'll ask that: Who is Gigantor? Can you still sing the song? :biggrin:

Gigantor...I've got no freakin' idea who that is. :confused:

Yahoo found him. I'm surprised - I thought it was the same search engine.

Well, considering that MIH just hooked me up with my old buddy,
www.gigantor.org

I will yield the floor to Math so that I may go listen to my Gigantor music.

btw, I had a Gigantor that my dad made from Brew102 beer cans. It stood about four feet high. I was so spoiled :biggrin:

Gigannnnntorrrrrr...Gigannnnntorrrrr...

Yay! I get to ask one!
