  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,036 ✭✭✭mad m


    Ah cmon Gordon should be a rule for no backward writting,well the amount that Capt has put in anyway.Funky Penguin was a joy to try and read his stuff.Us lazy people wont bother even trying to read Capt'n midnights essay.

    Well anyone was it good? ah feck it ill get a mirror tomorrow.Fairplay to you Capt'n Midnight for writing it.Is there a program where you can type something that long in and hey presto hit a button and its all backwards? Cut and paste does the rest. :D

    Dont know either,but after the trouble he went to doing that i thought he was in the running.


  • Moderators, Education Moderators Posts: 9,767 Mod ✭✭✭✭mayordenis


    He isnt a contestant like.

    If there is, I will swiftly remove my leg and kick myself withit.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,522 ✭✭✭✭Gordon


    lol. I haven't decoded Capt Midnights message yet, will need a few slide rules and a calculator.

    tba that essay brought a tear to my eye, half from laughter and half from joy, well done. As for the word count - my bad, I did not stipulate that the word count should include the message title or not. However I also made a booboo by including sacred words in the message title.

    Therefore the additions to the rules:
    All future essays must be 793 words and include the essay title. However you must decode the original essay title with sacred word consideration - as tba did.

    Mr. Nice Guy if you have typed your essay already without the essay title I will allow it for this first essay. Any future essays however must contain the essay title without any sacred words (sorry!) and the essay text plus title should equal the holy number of words.

    Oh yeah, Capt. Midnight isn't a contestant! Maybe he's putting himself into the fray for being in Survivor II: Boards.ie.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,421 ✭✭✭Steveire


    Just for you funky, i threw together this amature program:
    just put a '#' after the text and hit the button. I included an example too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,522 ✭✭✭✭Gordon


    I can't remember the rules I've set (I'd be the first knocked out in one of my challenges) but doesn't MNG have 1 hour 40 minutes left?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,880 ✭✭✭Raphael


    He has until 8 o clock Irish time on Sunday. So....40 minutes left!

    MNG, you neglected to put a space after some of your semi colons.......


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,727 ✭✭✭✭Sherifu

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,323 ✭✭✭Hitchhiker's Guide to...


    The word count is 793 - just checked it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,352 ✭✭✭funky penguin


    As far as I can see, it's the lack of spaces behind some of the semi colons thats causing the different word counts.

    is this one or two words?
    alright;men
