Old Man Posted March 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 The Most Metal Deaths in Middle-Earth: Ranked L. Marcus 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted March 24, 2020 Report Share Posted March 24, 2020 Not bad, but surely Hurin rates an honorable mention. He didn't die because Morgoth ordered he be taken alive, and he single-handedly killed seventy trolls while his axe dissolved in their corrosive blood. That out-metals Gollum easily by a score of seventy acid-blood trolls to one hobbit finger. Then Morgoth chained Hurin to a mountaintop to torment him and explicitly did not let him die. What happens after that can't help being a letdown, but when Satan Itself doesn't let you die, that adds more tungsten to the metal you earned.

death tribble Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 I am doing an objective where I start a book on 1st of the month and finish it by month's end reading a set number of pages per day. The trouble is when you get to a book that grips you or an author and you want to continue regardless. I am reading one of David Weber's Honorverse books and it is getting close to the end. And it has been a real test of will to stop for the day instead of plunging on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Bushido Posted April 3, 2020 Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 I have no idea where to post this, but since it started with a random wonderance of my own, I figure this is as good a place as any. I am a bit dejected because my wife will not help me swarch for vaguely corroborative-sounding or complex and difficult-to-read scientific studies to help me in my project. Maybe some folks here know where I might look. At any rate, I feel it is of utmost importance to the survival and advancement of mankind that I make this happen: I am tryinf to start a rumor that Facebook causes autism. I think this can only help us in the long run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cancer Posted April 3, 2020 Report Share Posted April 3, 2020 Hm. Physical sciences and I might be able to help. This one's outside my comfort zone. Not that comfort matters, but I don't know that literature at all. Let not my deficiency in this sway you from your righteous quest, however.

Cancer Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 The 2017 Word Association Game thread is on page 589. The wavelength of the resonance doublet of sodium is 589 nanometers. This is a coincidence that should be taken with a grain of salt, or at least the part of salt which isn't chlorine. tkdguy, L.

Cancer Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 Well, optical wavelengths in Angstroms are 4-digit numbers, not 3-digit numbers. Just like this thread is on page 656, which in nanometers is the wavelength of the H-alpha line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

death tribble Posted April 9, 2020 Report Share Posted April 9, 2020 Went through a few Gary Numan songs to find a specific one that I recalled a video of. Had a woman sitting on his car as he flew overhead. The song was I Can't Stop. Also found out the name of the woman, Tracey Adam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

death tribble Posted April 21, 2020 Report Share Posted April 21, 2020 The tenant who is in hospital is an alcoholic. So I went in to his flat get rid of any empty bottles. Seems he does not put any bottles in the recycling. I removed around 140 empty bottles of wine, 10 small beer bottles, 40 odd plastic bottles of cider and 19 bottles of spirit. Filled three recycling bins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
