Please ...Just answer the OP's question.

[StewartR]

"What do you get when you multiply 6x9?". Since this equation only works out correctly in base 13, obviously the human experience is flawed and we can never know the meaning of life except indirectly.What do you get if you multiply six by ... nine?Been there, done that, got my towel . . .But POTN wouldn't be half what it is (and Pekka's bandwidth bill wouldn't be half what it is) people didn't repeat other people's answers...

Spidey as a dancer? yuck

What was the OP question again?

[StewartR]

I would get more charged up about games if the players were actually from the state/area their team represents. The Indianapolis Colts mean nothing to me because none of the players are Hoosiers. Who cares if they win? They aren't "us". Of course this would screw up the entire draft mechanism.They're not "you"? They're at least American, probably, most of them. Over this side of the pond the press are getting excited about the prospect of an all-English final to the UEFA Champions League - the semi-finals are Chelsea/Liverpool and Manchester United/Milan - but this week these 3 "English" clubs fielded a total of 10 English players between them in their starting line-ups. I've been a Manchester United fan since I was 6, but these days it's a sort of "our over-paid foreigners are better than your over-paid foreigners" sort of game.

I think is was something like not enough posters taking things seriously, but I could be wrong. It's buttied way too far back there.

umm not to sure, but it could have something to do with how the universe doesn't give the right answer to the right people, that are sitting on your right, using the right hand to control the camera. or something like that. :lol:

Getting back to the original point of this thread. This forum was once a place where you come and ask a serious question and get a serious answer. It has lost some of its professionalism by those that want to mock and make humor about anything. I know there will be those bright witted posters who will do the same to this post. So be it. I find now if I want to find out something accurate I need to go to another forum that offers those opinions supported by fact.

I guess I don't understand the problem. Again, I completely agree with you that the OP's question in any given thread should be answered in a serious manner. I don't agree that it should be strictly kept to just that unless the OP intended the thread to be "fun". In fact, I think the reason this thread turned into what it did is because we are all just using absurdity to support the fact that we agree with his/her point.

[Permagrin]

Sure I enjoy a fun thread but start it as that. Do you think that the OP intended for his thread to become this. He posted it in the "general chat" section. So if anyone posts a question in here cylentka, am I to assume that you feel it is fair game for anyone to turn it into anything they want. It is not only happening in this forum to seriously toned posts but in virtually every forum on here. I could point you to many that this happens.

and yet, perhaps this IS what the OP intended...and since you don't know, perhaps you'll hold your soap box until it is determined...

my point: not everything has to be abusive, argumentative or contradictory in order to be helpful....and just an FYI humor goes a LOT further than condescension if one is attempting to make a point.

yeah but you can't eat felines.

Speak for yourself paleface! hehehe;)

here here, I 2nd that. I think from now on every post should have a joke in it, not related to the subject what so ever :)

Early morning factoid:

The Killer Whale, or the Orca, is actually more of a dolphin than a whale.

Carry on.

[cylentka]

Um, Puds, aren't dolphins whales in the first place?

[puddlepirate44]

Um, Puds, aren't dolphins whales in the first place?

Nope. Two different families. Dolphins originally came from Schenectady, NY. Whales from somewhere in the Southwestern region of the UK. The Whale family had their names changed at Ellis Island when they immigrated. Their original name consisted of too many consonants. I think it was Wwhhylls, or something like that.

It's all true.

Nice try, Puds

We're getting off track here... What does all this have to do with mayonaise? Wait, dolphins? Now I get it! I like extra dolphin in my tuna salad sandwiches and those always have lots of mayo. Good job! Carry on.

[cylentka]

We will discuss mayo again on the 5th of May. That is, if the dolphins don't sink. Oh!

Ummm, he never once mentioned Schenectady. I disagree wholeheartedly with this Doctor's treatise.

ooo, that was bad.

I'm still on my first cup of coffee this morning. I think that's a universally known and accepted excuse for lame-itis.

Yikes... Did this conversation almost turn serious? Hmmm... And why are we going to slather dolphins with mayo on May 5. It is Cinco de slather dolphin with mayo day?
