I asked a similar question in another thread. Say that you want to convince someone, just by speech over the phone that you are dead.Obviously the person would thinkt hat you are not dead, due to the fact that you are calling. Say that the person being phoned is an average person.What do you have to do to convince the person that you are dead.Or how much? Is it possible to make anyone believe anything. Just something I though about.Please move if in wrong forum.

This thread is for anyone who applied to, is applying to or is thinking of applying to university. The university students or graduates can tell of their experiences, and us pre-undergraduates can fret over it. I'm really asking this because I had my interview at Cambridge (UK) and was rejected (no surprise, as the interview went horribly), and I'm reapplying next year. They ask some really strange questions at Oxbridge, or so I've heard ("Tell me about a banana. How would you weigh your head?"), though my own questions were easier and I still managed to mess it up... I've got to unsuppress the memory before I can talk about it. So, what sort of questions were yo…

Contribute any really stupid or funny quote here. Like this: LAWYER: How many times have you attempted suicide? DEFENDANT: Four. LAWYER: And were you successful any of those times?

Was just scrolling through the forums (as you do), and noted that Sayo has now got 5,000 posts. At the time of writing, the forum says that we currently have 50,468 seperate posts on here, which tells me that he has currently posted about 9.9072679717841008164% of the posts on here (according to Mathematica ) - something not to be sniffed at So thought I'd create this to celebrate this milestone in posting history. Well done sayo

...I was just wondering if any of you have Emulators on your computers, or know any good SNES or Genesis websites?.... I'm currently playing Shadow Run on my comp.... How about all you.....(and shut up about my pathetic grammar....I do it on purpose....).......

What is your favourite game console?

I read in a book that this was the most beautiful number and altough this post has no importance at all...just wondered why is was the most beautiful number.

In the year 1999 and seven months A great King of Terror will come from the sky. He will bring back the great King Genghis Khan. Before and after Mars rules happily. How do you begin Terra-Forming another planet? There is an ancient, but educational game that hopes to answer this question though simulation called SimEarth. I can tell you that the in the begining the secret is to crash a Comet into the planets. Many things will happen including depositing water and gasses, liberating elements and compounds stored underground, and raising the temperature. So lets crash a comet into Mars. Unforutunately there is no remote-control for comets. The plan would…

as above and WHY is your Favorite Month?

Kazzappo! With the magic wand of superness, I have made you King God of the Universe for the day. What will you change? You might want to just make small tweaks here and there, or you might be in favour of scrapping the whole show and building a new universe (with rules that make sense, maybe?) Perhaps you'll arrange the galaxies in a grid formation, or maybe just making the sea taste like chocolate will be enough for you. Anything goes!

Excerlent book if you havn't, well worth it. Just one question for those who have read it. When Dave and Jon are fighting on the bridge in edinburgh, and the van pulls up, who the fuck is in the van and what has it got to do with the story? it is never mentioned again.

My clothes are shrinking. Is it because I am washing it in the wrong water temperature? Or maybe is it because I am drying it at the wrong temperature? Or maybe both? I would hate to have to conduct experiments on clothing shrinkage with my own clothes, so I'd really appreciate it if someone has an answer.

I'm just wondering what people think about movie/game ratings. Do you think that kids aged 10 shouldnt watch movies like kill bill vol.1 or play games like gta? or do you think it's their choice? I personally feel as if ratings are useless. I went to R rated movies with "EXTREME VIOLENCE" labels and came out of the movie laughing. I've played gta vice city and have never went out in the streets with a bazooka in my hand. So i find ratings uselss and also the recent inforcments in my fav. movie theatre forces me to download movies ( from now in you need id to get in to A.A and R rates movies). So because of such stupid rules im forced to download the movies and thankfully …

Yes I need resources...I need theories in metaphysics....and quantum physic anybody help?

Share if you like. Readers discretion advised. Mine was very bad. I started the night out normally having 3 drinks at my sisters apartment with her, her fiance and her friend (who was really hot but not into me at all). Soon we went out and stopped at a bar which had a pretty good blues band playing. Me and her fiance and another couple competed in a game of darts which we won. Next we headed out to another place which I didn't like. I had a shot and a beer there. After we headed to a restaurant to get some chicken fingers and I had a beer there. Next we headed to a party where I had a beer. Everything was normal. We headed to this other party and that's where it …

I just finished watching Star Trek I, and right at the end Kirk describes the heading as, "Out there, thataways." I was like, man, if I was kirk, I'd throw the inertial dampers out a bit, be like chucking your car into 1st and footting it to the floor for 5 seconds. That would be sweet at warp 6.

hah!

how many (known) steps does it take for you to get to george bush? (no linking through members of this forum, since you can now all do it in at least 4 steps) my girlfriend's father [1] (who I have met) used to work with a close relative [2] of the former chinese leader [3] who has met George Bush [4]. I can even do it in 3, but through a less interesting channel. One of my lecurers [1] has worked with Tony Blair [2] who has met George Bush [3]

Hey, I run a little zine called the F.I.R.E. that has spread a wee bit. Unfortunatly one can't trust my friends to get anything done in time. My latest issue has been waiting three weeks for articles and I've only have two so far. I was wondering if any of you would like to put an article in it. Anything political, anti-political, or even just advertising or reviewing something. The name stands for Free Information Resource Everlasting. [blame me for that] I can e-mail anyone an issue of it if they want, just ask. Please, I need articles. I'll accept almost anything!

I'm pretty sure it's me, negative 94. Yes it's true, and so very, very, sad.
