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.

I'm not sure if reading them all would do any good, and most likely would inflict irreparable damage. Don't give into the "thread-killers temptation", or you will be sucked down into a morass of franzbear, pirates, innuendo and questionable good taste. Save yourself...!
Aye, there be monsters here.

Arrrghhh! :devil:

:smile: Yeah, there's nothing questionable about it, good taste is simply not to be found anywhere around here.

I just ran across this in the technology forum, posted by Anttech in the "How does google work" thread.

And now we know the truth! :biggrin: Just make sure your mouth is empty when you read this.

Google's pigeon-driven methods make tampering with our results extremely difficult. While some unscrupulous websites have tried to boost their ranking by including images on their pages of bread crumbs, bird seed and parrots posing seductively in resplendent plumage, Google's PigeonRank technology cannot be deceived by these techniques. A Google search is an easy, honest and objective way to find high-quality websites with information relevant to your search.
All that work for nothing! Well, I'm out 2 dozen loaves of wonder bread and they'll never let me into the pet store again. That could have something to do with my hampster powered generator.

By collecting flocks of pigeons in dense clusters, Google is able to process search queries at speeds superior to traditional search engines, which typically rely on birds of prey, brooding hens or slow-moving waterfowl to do their relevance rankings.

When a search query is submitted to Google, it is routed to a data coop where monitors flash result pages at blazing speeds. When a relevant result is observed by one of the pigeons in the cluster, it strikes a rubber-coated steel bar with its beak, which assigns the page a PigeonRank value of one. For each peck, the PigeonRank increases. Those pages receiving the most pecks, are returned at the top of the user's results page with the other results displayed in pecking order.
I'm still wiping the tears out of my eyes. :biggrin:

A little story is in order. A few years ago Moonbear received the letter in her mailbox which changed her life forever http://carboninside.com/16.gif


Before she used to fight with her colleages to get into the only bathroom available on the floor http://carboninside.com/41.gif,[/URL] and the battle wasnt always in her favor http://carboninside.com/2.gif

But now she found out she got a tenure! http://carboninside.com/45.gif
It seems her sleepless nights devoted to prayer have been answered http://carboninside.com/47.gif,[/URL] and now her creativity can really take off http://carboninside.com/34.gif as she can stay in her new lab all week long http://carboninside.com/44.gif

Was at work. Now I'm not. I had to interrupt my games 6 times to deal with customers today. How inconvenient.

Only if I get half credit for the kill. Those socks are worth all of your other ingredients put together. (Do you have a 'Hazardous Materials Handling Permit'?)

I don't think it's what you have the hamsters doing that they object to, so much as your motivational methods.

You don't have antivirus software like Symantec? You may have adware.

Yeah, I think it's adware. Any idea how to get rid of it? I tried a few online programs and they search for the added files but won't delete them until I purchase their product. Is there a truly free one out there? Hmm, prolly not. :cry:
I think it was that cheap anime floosie.

I don't know if http://www.findarticles.com/p/search?tb=art&qt=%22Antiviral+agents%22 is reliable or not, but it looks okay. I found it amusing that I was looking for something on antiretroviral medicine and the same site is offering anti-virus software. :biggrin:
