I just implemented your idea.

So, what do you two do for a living? You both seem to stay up pretty late (I thought I did) - especially you thoh13 since you're two hours ahead of us.


That's one of the perks of being in college. Going back tomorrow (today) actually, so my break's over....but even w/ class in session I stay up pretty late

TTH, did I hear Tub and Pictures in the same sentence? (Feverishly starts writing Picture Posting Manual.)

First, you will click HERE.
Second: Grab the picture off your computer.
Third: Scroll down and Right Click the code in the box titled "Hotlink for forums (1)", choose "Copy"
Fourth: Paste in your reply box.
That's all there is to it... It's free, and usually the pictures will stay there forever so you can grab them whenever you want.

What school are you going to?

My son is a high school senior this year; so we're going through the application process.

Chemistry

I tried editing my other post but you already posted.

Continued.....That's why when Try mentioned something about U of I and Chinese food I thought he knew me from somewhere but I guess it was a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Tryagain, I think you have been outriddled, outwitted, outmanoeuvred, outgunned, out of order, outlasted, outmatched, outposted, outplayed and most likely be outraged. Serves you right for going on the turps. Laughing

Well Dutchy you should know better. Tryagain is not out anything. He probably already knows. He is very smart and seems to be on top of exactly what goes on.

What's up dudes, anything going down?

I hate those Hollywood parties, oh, my aching head; but what a chick I scored with; came from a long ways south of Seattle, engineering graduate x2…

Mark: "I've worn a dress on two or three occasions…" Shocked


OMG I shudda known when you started whispering Pythagoras Theorem in my ear!!! Embarrassed

Something seems different, did I forget to shave, I don't seem to be able to place the eye candy but without my glasses, I just can't put my finger on it. I am sure as the day goes on it will come to me.



TTH:

Now you are talking! money and dogs right up my alley Laughing

I have been BANNED from making any obscene comment!!!


Coins: If one is not a nickel, the other is a .50 cent piece Cool (I collect coins & bills BTW)

Yeah! I am sure orphan Bill will be pleased to hear that. :wink:


Dog: The dog= 1/2, then he or she is running out of the woods not into. Cool


Thoh:

COINS: One is a half-dollar, the other is a nickel. Cool

TRIP: You have to make the second half in 0 time, so infinately fast. Cool

FOREST: The dog can run into the woods half way - any further and he's running out of the woods. Cool



Mark:

Nil by mouth, but he has a kiss like a suction pump. Razz




About 1000 pages ago, or about three weeks ago I posted up:


The Washington Post quoted a National Academy of Sciences panel in its July 31, 2001 paper: "Making vehicles more efficient would add to their sticker prices, but that cost would be offset by saving on fuel. A small SUV, for instance, could average 26 percent better mileage for an upfront cost of $818. ...Classified as light trucks, SUVs and minivans currently are required by the Department of Transportation to get an average of 20.7 miles per gallon."

Assuming that the average person drives her SUV 15,000 miles in a year, and that gas costs $1.49 per gallon, and that SUVs currently get 20.7 mpg, how many years would it take for the SUV to recoup its initial cost of $818 to improve its gas mileage by 26 percent Question

To the best of my knowledge, I have not seen an answer, if one has been forthcoming; please accept my apologies as I have missed it. However, if it has defeated the forums best brains….YEAH way to go me!




The circumference of the globe is approximately 40 000 km. If we made a circle of wire around the globe, that is only 10 metres (so 0,01 km) longer than the circumference of earth, could a flea, a rabbit or even a man creep under it Question



A man kills his brother in plain sight of many people, and yet he will never be charged with murder or any other crime. Why not Question













Good joke ya'll, you have made my day. Laughing Laughing Laughing Now it's time for a shot of turps!

radius of wire: 40000.01/2/pi*1000=6366199.315m
radius of earth: 40000/2/pi*1000=6366197.724m
difference: 1.591m
the man doesn't have to creep if he's short enough...either way, all 3 can

He killed his siamese twin.

So where are you from Try?
