Phi for All

That's not the... thrust of what swansont's getting at. A seeming act of homage leads to the introduction of an invasive and deadly enemy who destroys you from the inside. Is that what you're looking for in a condom?

I have a friend who is an Environmental Engineer with the EPA. Give me a list (not too long) of questions you would like him to answer and I will let you know what he says.

I think so. Absolutely, but the benefits of having people look to Trojan as an authoritative advocate of sexual health should be obvious. Most good marketing campaigns are aimed at exploiting a perceived need, but that's not always a bad thing. I would love to see more dialogue involving healthy sexual perceptions. I'd like to see several destructive tendencies eradicated from our culture, most particularly the disparity between male/female sexual reputation. Why is a sexually robust male perceived as a stud while a sexually robust female is perceived as a slut? Trojan making more money while advocating sexual health is OK by me. If Spartan weren't synonymous with practicing great self-denial, it would have been a better choice. They had cooler shields anyway and I think that's the image the condom manufacturers wanted.

I want a device that lets me see two minutes into my future (like Nick Cage in Next) so I can anticipate any misteaks mistakes I might make.

I've used a mortar for bricks before.

Good, tell us a bit about yourself, please.

ENOUGH! HazMat infraction awarded to the kid who refused to grow up. Thread closed.

What, it could happen! He knows how to turn on a computer so he can't be a total idiot, can he? Can he?! Wait, I went back and reread this thread. Never mind.

I think he's catching on to the fact that he spends an hour on silly garbage that takes us seconds to delete. He may actually be learning some math and science here.

Unpublished studies (aka "completely made up") show that your IQ goes up a few points when you join SFN so you are already a bit smarter. Welcome to the community. the tree is the perfect UK maths person for you. He'll help you out as long as you continue to write so well (he's mad for proper spelling).

AS SOON AS I HAVE THE TIME TO DO IT = when the Teletubbies marathon is over. In the US, multiplication doesn't get taught till the third grade.

hydrogropus, this makes two threads you've opened that make no sense and give us nothing to discuss. I warned you once about the "mama insults" so hopefully an infraction notice will show you I'm serious. Next time please ask a question or make a statement that challenges us to discuss *something*. If you are new to discussion forums I suggest you read some of the other threads to get an idea of what we need from an opening post. I'm closing this one, please try again.

♫"One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do!"♫ I've only "come out" to some close friends and family so I'm a little sensitive. Most who meet me would never guess geek. Oh, well, that's completely different. Nose-spurting is part of the Triathlon in the Geek Games, along with White Sock/Black Shoe Matching and Booger Particle Acceleration.

I just heard a comedian doing a bit on the paperclip. "I sat down to write a ransom note and the paperclip popped up and said, 'Hey, I notice you're trying to write a ransom note. Would you like some help writing that ransom note?'"

I think *present* physicists are laughing pretty hard right now. And those physicists are too smart and savvy to drink anything while laughing. Most geeks are too easily embarrassed to risk liquid shooting out their nose.

Wow, a tsolkas thread turns into a thread about Farsight! My duty is clear.

I'll break a dollar and get some nickels. In fact, I'll use the dollar Cap'n gave me when I said, "If I had a nickel for every time AnemicPsyche whined, 'yOU'LL pAY!!! yOU'LL aLL pAY!!!'...."

Thank God for Glider! This was my first thought after reading the OP and I'm glad someone else mentioned it before I posted. It's a still shot so why bother with doing it for real? It will look so real you couldn't tell the difference even from a moderate close-up.

As iNow said, it's his choice and it's actually critical that he quits for himself and not for you. If he quits for you he'll always be tempted to borrow one from a friend (and misery loves company, so most smokers would oblige him even if they knew he was trying to quit). If he quits for himself he'll be more likely to resist even when he's around others who are smoking.

Newton will remain "right" until tsolkas fixes the link in his OP. I'll give it two days before closing this thread.

Funny you mention puzzles. AnemicPsycho once did a jigsaw puzzle in record time: the box said 3-5 years but it only took him a month!

I normally disallow posts by new joiners asking for private mail contact. This seems fairly straightforward though and I think it would be a great opportunity for someone interested in learning and teaching. If you do contact gouzai please be cautious and courteous and make certain this request is legitimate. This is *not* an endorsement from the Staff and I would love to hear how this worked out.

A tiny mind *and* a tiny willy? Poor AnemicPsycho! I like the part where the demigod spends an hour wreaking his havoc and it takes us like two minutes to clean it up. Real smart demigod that.

Three men died on Christmas Eve and were met by Saint Peter at the pearly gates. "In honor of this holy season" Saint Peter said, "You must each possess something that symbolizes Christmas to get into heaven." The first man fumbled through his pockets and pulled out a lighter. He flicked it on. "It represents a candle", he said. "You may pass through the pearly gates" Saint Peter said. The second man reached into his pocket and pulled out a set of keys. He shook them and said, "They're bells." Saint Peter said "You may pass through the pearly gates". The third man started searching desperately through his pockets and finally pulled out a pair of women's panties. St. Peter looked at the man with a raised eyebrow and asked, "And just what do those symbolize?" Sheepishly the man replied, "They're Carol's."
