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.

Strange that it's easy to read and type backwards. Maybe that will be the next thread...everyone has to type backwards.

Yes, I read the posts backwards sometimes.

ehmt ormf aedr het evre ddliem oD uto?
I can read them backwards pretty easily, but typing the words backwards is difficult. One word at a time is easy, but whole sentences get a little confusing for me.

Yes, look at it from the other side of the screen.
or maybe in a mirror

hmm, if you used two mirrors would the image be clockwise again?

What if it's an evil smiley that doesn't have a reflection? :devil:

I have the habit of reading the last post in a thread and have no idea what is going on, so I read the post before it, then the one before it, all the way back to where I left off.

Does anyone else read threads backwards?
It must be true, great minds thing alike. I am always doing the same.

For me, it sort of depends. In this thread, I can't stand to miss anything, so always go back to my last post and start from there, but I do the backward reading thing in a lot of other threads that have gone past a page in length. Then again, doing things backward may not be all that uncommon for me. :-p

In that case, the reflection that it doesn't have would be transposed.

Anyone heard anything about the show coming on the Scifi channel Saturday "Earthquake, Nature Released?"

Maybe just me. I'm a bit of an oddball :cool:
There are others out there somewhere.

I would have thought you were a bit of a baseball. After all, you are what you eat.

Yes, but I'm more like a lozenge shaped baseball on an elliptical field. I also don't have nearly as many stitches.

But for computational purposes we could still say you were approximately spherical, right?
 
  • #3,976
Maybe if you squint really hard while shaking your head in a circle. I'll look much more normal that way. Or if you put me on a pylon and spin me really fast. My center of gravity is the same as everyone elses.
I wonder if she'll do it?

I wonder how similar computer cathode ray tube light is to moonlight.

That's a relief. After hearing about those flipper feet, we wouldn't want you to be any more banged up than you need to be. :smile:

Those flippers are pretty useful. Great balance, prehensile toes, good force to thrust ratio in a liquid medium, and its a unique fashion statement. The lozenge shape makes me fairly hydrodynaimic. In fact I look a lot like cronxeh's fish things up there.

I don't know. Being a cowboy can be fun too. Remember, my feet can turn almost all the way around. Some people's toes curl. My feet turn.

:confused: Now I know I missed something, or at least I hope I missed something. I need to start getting to sleep before dawn.

I was listening to this 2 hour debate of Evolutionist vs Creationist. Both have graduate degrees (except that the evolutionist has a PhD, and Creationist has MS). The beat down of a creationist is very in-your-face kind of a slap.

Do you find it strange that "gordo" means "fat" in spanish? :biggrin:
