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.

There was a fish. His name was fishy. He died while trying to cross the road to talk to the hedgehog :(

So you admit it, do you.

There's always a few that HAVE to do it the hard way. This is the sort of thing that should be brought up at the G8. Have you heard of the energy crisis? What kind of example do you think you make if you just WASTE energy TYPING smilies. Green peace will have a fit.

I dream of a day when chickens can cross the road without anyone questioning their motives.

The reason is rarely 'to get to the other side.' It's their obvious ulterior motives that make their crossings so heinous.

what kind of left-handed motives?

Uh oh! I'm caught! :blushing: I didn't even notice I did that until now (I've been too busy all day).

Okay, Artman, you might get your chance now. I'm off to Canada for a conference. I'm not sure if the hotel has internet access, but even if it does, I'll probably be too busy to keep tabs on Franzbear.

Hmm...then again..

Franzbear, remember all those fun French words you learned in France? Let's go try them in Quebec. :biggrin: No no, you just go ahead of me through customs, I'll catch up with you in a minute.

I will never let a n00b like you take out franzbear. You weren't even around when the thread was started. You havn't even met tribdog!

i am NOT a n00b!

Yes! You Are!

i almost have as many sciency posts as you do. i am NOT a n00b!

Hmm...I think you should spend less time over here and more time over in the math forum if you think 123 and 924 are almost the same. :-p

If you consider the whole spectrum of possible numbers then 123 and 924 are pretty close.

Also,

9+2+4=15, 1+5=6
1+2+3=6

Also,

the probability of 123 being rolled using 3*10 sided dice is exactly the same as rolling 924 (uncanny or what)

:smile: Okay, maybe stay out of the math forums and visit the engineering solutions where they look at things more practically! :biggrin:

If you look at the subset of numbers that includes the range of post counts for PF members, they aren't that close any more.

New rule, you can't just post "hmmm..." and count it as a thread kill. The kill will go to whoever posted before the "hmmm..." :biggrin:
 
  • #7,375
where was that in the rules?

I just said, "new" rule. :biggrin: I'm just tired of all these "hmmm..." posts. It gets old really fast. (And I'm sitting in the airport waiting for a flight and forgot my Harry Potter book at home and am tired of proofreading manuscripts, so I'm bored enough to start making new rules to the TKC thread.)

Heh, heh, heh. Franzbear, I hear there is a tunnel you can use between Canada and the USA. Better take lots of sinus pills with you (your allergies could act up in that damp tunnel o:) ) Oh and if you are caught in the tunnel try and hide the pills (you wouldn't want them to think they are illegal drugs. :biggrin: o:)
