Re: Questions of a weird mind
Speaking to the Mayan calendar stuff, in my Mayan archaeology class, the question about the world ending inevitably came up. My professor, who's been to Central America and spoken to actual living Mayans, told us it was complete bunk. It's no different than the way our calendar stops and starts over each new year, really. It's just their calendar was built on a much longer timescale.

Re: Questions of a weird mind
Of course it's bull****. It's just another apocalypse prophecy and we get a half a dozen of those a year because some people can't come to terms that, shock and bloody horror, the world will continue without them and therefore the world MUST end in their lifetime because they are bloody special or some [REDACTED].

Re: Questions of a weird mind
Depends on your purpose. If you're just that pitiful, you wouldn't be naughty and Santa would give you what you wanted plus a bonus.
If coal is a critical component in your scheme for world-domination, I would expect Santa to be ironic and give you toys that you dislike.

Re: Questions of a weird mind
Poorly made action figures. Wait, those come from sweatshops which Santa would never support. K, disregard.
He would give you a bottle of clean air. Yeup, that's my guess.
Or he'd give you a loaf of thick heavy rye bread or pumpernickle. Why? All the other kids have christmas pudding or roasts, you get thick dry heavy bread.~~Courage is not the lack of fear~~

Re: Questions of a weird mind
Again depends on the wording of the question. The various legal and regulatory definitions of a chicken egg includes the condition that it is an egg that is laid by a chicken.
Your recombinant DNA Frankensteinian/chimerian duck-chicken (Ducken? Chiduck?) wouldn't be classed as a chicken by the above standards, so it's moot to the argument.
Do you think we're spending far too much time debating this?Last edited by Brother Oni; 2012-03-22 at 10:50 AM.

If you tell your pokemon to use air cutter, does that count as "breaking wind"?

Re: Questions of a weird mind
What's the correct pronounciation of μ?
English speakers can't pronounce anything correctly and the german spelling my results in something that I don't think is even close to correct either.We are not standing on the shoulders of giants, but on very tall tower of other dwarves.

Re: Questions of a weird mind
It also rhymes with ν.
But it's a single letter, it's just an M sound. So nothing with the i and the u. Just m. (In words.)
The problem is; I learned it as mu, but with a Dutch u sound, and English doesn't have anything like that (I think). So I think it also depends on your language, although the Greek pronunciation would be the best one.
The normal (Latin) alphabet has the same problem. The way we pronounce the various vowels and digraphs is very different from the Greek and English ways.
The Greek oe sounds like our eu and the Greek eu sounds like our ui. English oo sounds like our oe. English g sounds like our zj (that we never use), our g sounds like somebody with a sore throat. Stuff like that. So it's impossible to say how something should be pronounced.

Re: Questions of a weird mind
They spend most of the year making wondrous examples of various crafts, and then mass produce heaps of toys in the couple of months before Christmas.
This, of course, tricks everyone into believing Santa is not real, and by extension the Elves.
It's an elaborately crafted deception.Mauve Shirt, Savannah, Gnomish Wanderer, Cuthalion and Smuchmuch get cookies for making me avatars. (::)

Re: Questions of a weird mind
Can a eunuch be correctly referred to as a male("a him")?
Likewise, can a neutered cat also be referred to a male?

Re: Questions of a weird mind
And only the bladder is required to generate a need to pee...
Also, if the eunuch says "I'm a guy", I would say he's a him. If the eunuch says "I'm a girl", I would say she's a her. If the eunuch says "I'm an apple", I would see how the apple tastes.
But, biologically, they're male, and the question of pronouns is one of gender, not biology.

Re: Questions of a weird mind
I just thought of something, and I was wondering if anyone knew the answer.
How aware are plants of their surroundings?
I know that they are aware of the heat of the sun and some can feel their surroundings...
But do any of them have other senses?Mauve Shirt, Savannah, Gnomish Wanderer, Cuthalion and Smuchmuch get cookies for making me avatars. (::)

Re: Questions of a weird mind
It's not so much a sense, but a chemical reaction. But you could say that about animal senses as well.
