Great Quotes

You might want to narrow the scope of what you’re looking for a little.

This, but sticking with the ‘school’ and education’ theme for your yearbook…

“People whose concept of ancient history is the first series of Star Trek may be treated with patience, because it’s usually not their fault they were reduced to getting their education from school.”

“We got a talk about it at school. There’s lots of stuff most girls can’t do, but you’ve got to pretend they can, so that more of them will.”

— Sexism explained

“His philosophy was a mixture of three famous schools — the Cynics, the Stoics and the Epicureans — and summed up all three of them in his famous phrase, ‘You can’t trust any bugger further than you can throw him, and there’s nothing you can do about it, so let’s have a drink.’”

“Getting an education was a bit like a communicable sexual disease. It made you unsuitable for a lot of jobs and then you had the urge to pbum it on.”

“(Your name here) was superstitious about books. He thought that if you had enough of them around, education leaked out, like radioactivity.”

“The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.”

“While I’m still confused and uncertain, it’s on a much higher plane, d’you see, and at least I know I’m bewildered about the really fundamental and important facts of the universe. We’ve really pushed back the boundaries of ignorance.”

“They both savoured the strange warm glow of being much more ignorant than ordinary people, who were only ignorant of ordinary things.”

“Give a man a fire and he’s warm for a day, but set fire to him and he’s warm for the rest of his life.”

“Sometimes, the best answer is a more interesting question.”

”As humans, we have invented lots of useful kinds of lie. As well as lies-to-children (as much as they can understand) there are lies-to-bosses (as much as they need to know) lies-to-patients (they won’t worry about what they don’t know) and, for all sorts of reasons, lies-to-ourselves. Lies-to-children is simply a prevalent and neccesary kind of lie. Universities are very familiar with bright, qualified school-leavers who arrive and then go into shock on finding that biology or physics isn’t quite what they’ve been taught so far. ‘Yes, but you needed to understand that,’ they are told, ‘so that now we can tell you why it isn’t exactly true.’ Teachers know this, and use it to demonstrate why universities are truly storehouses of knowledge: students arrive from school confident that they know very nearly everything, and they leave years later certain that they know practically nothing. Where did the knowledge go in the meantime? Into the university, of course, where it is carefully dried and stored.”

I get lonely, come meet me IRL

I won’t be going, way too busy… but I must say – I’m glad to see so many people from the Great White North in here.

Koo roo koo koo.

quite frankly all of them are 1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-2

hacker is at least 1-2-4-1-2-4-3-5-1-2-4-2-5-1-3-4-2

Is that only at End-Game, or actually right from inception?

Suggestion: Allow Consumable to be sold in stacks

Sarcasm Inc Posted:

Yes, but you’ve missed one salient fact – he/she/it hasn’t purchased Episode 2, so they haven’t got access to Herbal bumault.

SanDyk Posted:

Then the solution is obvious. Get Ep2 to fix this “bug”

Salient fact finally addressed.

And you’re right, the consumable issue seems much more trivial right now… on the ‘purchasing from Herbal bumault’ end, of course.

But MC BanHammer did get the gist of my post. Being able to stack and sell in Kyoubai seems to make sense. There is probably always going to be a market for Act 1 ‘stick in the muds’ (Like me until 2 hours ago) that want to purchase Act 2 items. And possibly even a larger market when Act 3 comes out.

Selling a few dozen ‘andy male reproductive organ (feat. carrot top) – stand up comedy – vol 1.hear’ as one stack in the Ppwn Shoppe would be nice as well, don’t know why everything BUT the moar. files stack when it comes right down to it.

But hindsight is 20/20, and I can see that in the face of the larger issues, this is MOAR. than a little trivial Log in to see images!

“The Yen Buddhists are the richest religious sect in the universe. They hold that the acgreat timesulation of money is a great evil and a burden to the soul. They therefore, regardless of personal hazard, see it as their unpleasant duty to acquire as much as possible in order to reduce the risk to innocent people.”

Seriously though, I’ve ordered a set of 12 for myself through PayPal, but for some reason its holding the payment until the 24rth of this month.

Drop me One BP, and I’ll use it to customize my avatar.

Drop me Seven BP, and I’l actually start episode 2.

Drop me Eight BP, and I’ll do both.

AND… I’ll return them to you when I actually get my own.

This could be the beginning of a beautiful TRUSTINESS relationship.

I do not renege on any promises I make, IRL or in this virtual world connected by a series of tubes.

Luck versus Charisma

man-man Posted:

Easiest way would be to settle on a standard 4 visits to run, then we just have to chart out Luck against Charisma and all the data will be easy to compare. On the other hand, that’s no good for anyone trying to build a streak whilst helping out.

“Boy-boy: ‘Oh NO, Man-man, not the fish scales again, anything but that!’”

Ah well, I can see that any data I’m going to provide isn’t going to help out – Sorry. I’m still leveling, trying my hand at Domination and waiting for my Paypal account to be activated so I can actually purchase Episode 2.

In a few weeks I’ll have no problem running the same 4 forums to create a control sample, but as for now – I’ll leave it up to you Veterans with time on your hands.
