I am physically assembling a book, and I don't know what I should make the cover out of! BTW, it is going to be hard cover.... Plus, I need to get some pages printed (approx. 1500+), so I do not want to waste my pinter ink. Is there any cheap printing service?

At least I though so. About a year ago, I saw a show about worlds dumbest drivers(or something like that) and they showed a woman somewhere in England filled her car with Diesel fuel as opposed to the regular one. So as she was driving there was a huge while wall of smoke that she was leaving behind. It was so bad that the cop who was trying to pull her over, was having trouble avoiding other cars. Today, when I got stuck in the very same situation. The woman had somehow did the same thing and was producing very much the same scene that I saw on the TV. It was funny at first, but quickly turned to utter dismay because that was a single lane rd and no possibility…

and its the funniest thing every. obviously football (soccer) isnt very much popular there, and u can see the stadiums virtually empty. Altough people who were there were making as much noise as they could. i couldnt find out where the noise came from cause all the fans tv showed were mostly sleeping hehe. And the commentary was also a classic. they kept chatting too much, you may have noticed that in some of the wimbeldon coverage as well. Also they say corner kick, instead of the usual corner over here. and while talking about the position , they also kept saying forward position, midfield position. Ah, american commentators, they are a legend.

Now that we have the new bubble feature... (if you don't know how to do it, quote this) This thingy... ...I decided to make this thread. Bubble all you want. The rules:1. You must be responding to someone else, not just making random sayings. 2. Use the same bubble for all your posts in here. 3. No double posting, edit if you have to. 4. Read this first, and try to go in that style. 5. Don't just use single word posts, really argue... single words are boring. 6. Try to make it FUNNY! I'll start. Excuse me, is this the right place to practice anti-semetism?

I realized how bland my writing skills are, and I wanted to know: how can I write better? Just practice?

Is there such a major for marxism?

What did socrates say on if every fool agrees on a foolish idea, is the idea right? Anyone know the quote???

Yay!

Since I was born and raised in NYC, I was devastated when the Twins fell. Perhaps you can even say that(to a degree) I was devastated more by the loss of buildings then the lives lost that day in NYC. Anybody that has been in NYC since 911 can see that a Huge chunk of the city is simply gone forever, and that is a truly depressing sight. While it absolutely sucks that New York City will never build buildings as tall as the WTC(at least that's what the current administration is saying - Damnit, they need to get Guiliani back in the Mayors seat:mad:) This is a welcome and long overdue project. http://edition.cnn.com/2004/US/Northeast/07/03/wtc.cornerstone/ind…

Recently I've noticed how many forum members would like to see Adam back around, just for the entertainment value. I would too. So, here's the question: Do you want Adam back? Examples of Adam: http://www.scienceforums.net/forums/showthread.php?t=777 http://www.scienceforums.net/forums/showthread.php?t=550 http://www.scienceforums.net/forums/showthread.php?t=480 I'm sure you could find more. What do you think?

What is everyone's age and occupation(or what you spend most of your time doing)? I'm 19 and a sophomore at USF. I do some volunteer work and hope to go to medical school.

For the fans out there amongst you (of which I most certainly am one), the supposed title is behind the door that used to read "don't disturb" on J.K. Rowling's website. I won't tell you much more than that, but the name of the new book is behind it, and in the spoiler below: [hide]Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince[/hide] Personally, I think it sucks.

Math is fun because u can do things that you can't do in reality. ex.1) Assymtotes how in reality can one object approach another forever without the two objects meeting? ex.2) Negative Distance how can point A be closer to point B than point B is to itself?

Ok, we had a thread where you made up wacky news items, but then Sayonara said that wasn't what he wanted it to be, so I started my own. Any odd news story that is NOT true goes! Nuclear Missiles Launched at New Zealand! Bill Clinton Reveals Homosexual Relationship with Ken Starr! Iranian Town Spontaneously Combusts! Man Misspells URL, Discovering Secret Government Website Disclosing All About Conspiracies! more to come...

And where could i post a topic concerning met and climate?

Well, I'm sitting here at work looking at this lovely piece of hardware, and am brainstorming ideas on driving my coworkers insane. Any ideas? Bear in mind I work at an electronics manufacturing firm, so we can be a bit creative. Any input would be appreciated.

WARNING: If you are like me, you probably won't read this post. The 'why' of this is explained in this post. . . I'm a smart kid. I speak multiple languages, I am socially intelligent, I'm creative, analytic, etc. . . All that stuff, no problemo for countSpanky. Academics have been a breeze up till now. I'm 18, and have NEVER, EVER had to open up a book or study for anything, which is noteworthy, because the Belgian school system supposedly sets the highest standards in the world. I passed every test, and probably kicked ass while doing it. 'Up till now', meaning, utopia has ended. This year has been hell for me... It was so bad, I even feel below average, …

I got an email telling me that I have to send this image (which was attached to the email) to 10 other people (or something like that) or my email acount will be terminated. What is this? Does anyone know. PS: sry if the image is too big.

I am now officially a drop out. I love life... Though on the bright side, my wife now has a job with a respectable firm, so relocating doesn't seem like so terrible an option. It would be great to stay and all, but I'm not going to watch her take a job in no way related to her degree just so I can piddle around.

What do you guys listen to? Myself, I listen to classical music (more specifically baroque, classicism, and romantic), Rock (led Zeppelin, Bad Religion, the Ramones, AC/DC, Rage against the Machine).

blike makes Sayo an admin, which is clearly a slap in the face to me, and he tells me it's temporary to implement some discussed changes to the site. Sayo does something outside of that scope, so I deadmin (not demod) him pending clarification of what/why he was supposed to be doing. He posts a disrespectful remark about it. Then, rather than explain the issue, blike completely locks me out of all admin/mod functions without saying a word. blike, I've lost all respect for you on every level. Your actions were underhanded and an afront to human decency, and due to that and several factors regarding the clearly biased way you handle things, I feel obligated to …

To anyone whos watching the Tim v Mark match, do u know the name of the woman in the audience wearing the yellow top. shes sitting directly behind henman's wife. Shes proper ffiiiiiitttt.

I miss the times when we had gigantic debates about things like evolution. People like danmoore80, for example, argued about this for weeks. But now we only have one or two of these people. And, taking extrasense for an example, they don't put up much of an argument. So... why don't we get some interesting discussions going around here?
