Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around the humorous concept of "thread killers" on a forum, where participants analyze who tends to end conversations with their posts. The top offenders identified include franznietzsche, Moonbear, and tribdog, with a playful tone suggesting a competition for the title of "thread killer." Participants debate the validity of counting last posts as a measure of thread-killing ability, arguing that it should be adjusted based on the total number of posts each user has made. The conversation shifts into a light-hearted narrative, likening thread-killing to a horror movie scenario, with participants playfully accusing each other of sabotaging discussions and attempting to "steal" the thread. The banter includes references to fictional scenarios involving dramatic rescues and humorous characterizations, maintaining a light and comedic atmosphere throughout.

Well, Mathworld told me that the Gaussian was the normal distribution, but what is an inverted Gaussian??
It's like pineapple upside-down cake, but different.

Turn it upside down! You were talking about rate of mistakes with age...at peak performance, you reach a nadir in number of mistakes, not a peak. I don't know, it's closer to dawn now than dusk, so I'm too tired to find out if I can legitimately call it inverted...I doubt it's even Gaussian. It just sounded good dammit!

Fingers and toes, one of my favorite topics. My middle finger is about half an inch longer than my index. My ring finger is almost as long as my middle finger. My thumb can touch my wrist. My feet are more like flippers, over 4" wide. My second toe is as long as my big toe, which is big and fat. (I don't like wearing shoes.) I can support my body weight on just my big toes fairly easily, and can turn my feet so they are almost parallel facing backwards. This puts some strain on my knees and hips and feels a bit uncomfortable. Ever have a hip pop? That is a loud snap.

Hope your wing gets better soon Moonbear.

Your thumb can touch your wrist? You mean the wrist on the _same arm as the thumb is on_?? You are making it up.

I don't suggest you share all that information on a first date. :bugeye: BicycleTree has webbed fingers, and you've got flippers for feet. And those creationists all are arguing there are no transitional species around. :-p :smile:

Hope your wing gets better soon Moonbear.

Already feeling better today. Thanks. :smile:

No, my thumb can touch my wrist on the same arm. I'm double-jointed. I don't know exactly what that means, but I think it means I have longer ligaments, or more stretchable ligaments. I'm not as flexible as I used to be 10 years ago, but my legs and arms are still very flexible. I can still touch any point on my back with one arm and put my feet behind my head. I used to be able to do a split (front to back) but I can't do that anymore.

I also can touch my thumb and wrist, which comes in handy playing odd guitar chords.

How does one discover these things about themselfs? Did you just one day say, I'm going to try all kinds of odd stuff with my body?

How does it help with guitar chords? I can't think of anything you'd do with a guitar that would require touching your thumb to your wrist. :confused:

Yeah, something like that. Who hasn't at least tried to do a split? What guy hasn't played 'mercy' in grade school? Who hasn't twisted an ankle while walking or running? My ankles twist, but don't sprain. (well, once I sprained an ankle) I rarely won at mercy, but I couldn't be beaten. It seemed natural to test the limits.

What I want to know is how people learn things like eating glass without dying, or breaking boards with their heads, or piercing their body with needles. How many people try these things? Can anyone do it?

Must have been a deprived childhood she had. :biggrin:

Moonbear, bet you 20p that you can't lick your elbow...

I've noticed that the majority of people have a second toe (the toe next to their big toe) that is as long or longer than their big toe. Mine is shorter. My toes all progressively go down in length with the big toe the longest.

Anyone else with toes like this?

You could start a thread called "Comparison of TOEs"

Playing a F chord and reach your thumb up to hit a A note on the E string, most people can't do it.

And no I don't recall trying to twist my feet backwards. Tho I did shove a bean up my nose once. :blushing:

No way! My arm was sore for three days the last time someone posted that you can't lick your elbow and I was determined to find out if I could. :-p

My big toe is also longer than the other toes. I read somewhere a long time ago that a "big" big toe helps you to sprint.

I can lick the inside of my elbow. That counts.

If you'd cover them up at night, they wouldn't be malformed. It's probably frostbite.:-p

I would like to try a couple of odd things with your body... :wink:

If you're getting that close anyhow, might I suggest an alternate target?:-p

Well, I might have suggested the same until you told me about the flippers. I'm a bit of a bigot when it comes to dating within my own species. :-p

Well, I tried that ursine canine thing, and that just didn't work out well, so I'm going to just stick with other bears for now. Besides, I need warm and fuzzy, not cold and wet mammals in bed with me.
