    The inner core is made of solid iron and nickel and is unattached to the mantle, suspended in the molten outer core and is 4000 degrees

    HOW THE HELL DO PEOPLE KNOW THIS UNLESS THEY HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN TO THE CORE?????

    i think i know what you mean, i thought of this one boring day too, or when it says on the light bulb box that it last 8 years how do they know if i have the light on all day and night or just on all night, if i had it on all day and night it might last 4 years but if i just have it on just at night it might last 8 years
    Actually a lightbulb will last longer if you leave it on constantly as switching it on and off puts more strain on it. Thats why bulbs often go when you switch them on.

    I think thats the first sensible thing I've ever said on boards:)

    You drill a big hole. And drop down a thermometer, attached to a jet pack. Or something.

    What's sex like for the opposite sex?

    Those people who served "breakfast" in the hotel after my debs, were they staying up really late or getting up really early?

    Do homeless people ever ****? And if so, where?

    Think of how much that bill is going up due to your light being on constantly...trust me my plan is watertight, just do it.

    It's basically color-blindness

    That's the whole point. It's not. Otherwise we wouldn't be able to be spot-on when discussing colour with other people.

    I think of killing people, but it's not as simple as that. I think of somebody I want to kill, and then I match with them, usually while thinking of their face or their most irksome mannerism, a method of execution. For example, I take that block headed bastard Mark, and imagine him drooling as he speaks completely certain that the garbage he spouts is fact, and then the method of execution is revealed to me like I am a prophet receiving the word of god. In this guy's case the method is a Magnum fired at point blank range into the back of his big melon head. Central to what I am talking about here is the fact that I don't have to search out the method of execution, it is revealed to me, perfectly matching the particular idiot I want to murder. It is satisfying, and it has me sleeping soundly in minutes.

    colour-blindness test, problem solved. They can spot them pretty well in electrical industries.

    That isn't the Mark I speak of, he has nice arms and is attractive....but I would cut his head off with a saw (not tied up, but unable to get away for some reason, don't know that part yet) if I did want to kill him, wouldn't want to though because as I said he has nice arms.

    read once that there is no end in the universe that it is ever expanding and you could never travel to the edge as you would just end back up in the same spot!:rolleyes: wow.. confusing.
    always think about that one!!

    How did Soldier Boy become successful

    i assume he aimed to become a general at an early stage of his life and then followed these steps


    -Be ambitious, but channel your ambition.
    -Begin to prepare as early in life as possible.
    -Take college preparation courses in high school and study hard.
    -Show leadership skills in athletics, community service and other activities.
    -Seek appointment to one of the four military service academies.
    -Gain admission to a prestigious military college such as Virginia Military Institute or the Citadel.
    - Enroll in a university with a Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) program.
    -Study military history, history, international relations and politics.
    -Never fail to do your best. Few general officers were C students.
    - Accept your commission into the military service of your choice.
    -Seek out an assignment to a military specialty in a combat arm or in an area where there are rapid promotions.
    -Do your best with every assignment without complaint or compromise.
    -Seek out advice from a high-ranking mentor.
    -Marry well. Marry a person who understands the marriage may sometimes take second place to military duties. Marry a person who will be a perfect partner during social events.
    -Keep your career free of controversy. Do nothing to warrant letters of reprimand. Follow equal opportunity guidelines. Never engage in sexual harassment.
    -Take graduate courses.
    -Apply for advanced schooling through the Command and General Staff College and similar military institutions.
    - Be prepared to spend 20 years or more in quest of your goal.

    I've thought about things along that line a good few times,
    Also the colour description thing too.


    Sometimes I get oldly philosophical and think about where names for everything came from. I mean, some things are onomatopoeia but, why is a tree called a tree, and the sky the sky? Y'know what I mean?

    I usually make up fake scenario's, and try and predict conversations between me and some random person.
    or i would say to myself, if i did that, what would happen, and i would make up a story in my head with dialogue and everything. i probably should write some of them down, i have some crazy adventures :)
