Hook, line, and sinker?

Does that mean that we took the bait?

Didn't you send this conversation to an aquatic theme on porpoise?

"Just"?

The heck with work. It'll still be there later. Enjoy the show!

Wood you beleaf that I tried to leaf, bud I had to come back to see how long this wood go on? Edited because I forgot what forum I was in and neglected to ask a question originally.

Paul Banyan?

A slow cooker!

I vaguely remember hearing a joke about splitting Alaska in half, thereby making Texas the third-largest state.

Gilligan's Planet?

Doesn't ring any bells, but this site might be of some use: http://www.loganberrybooks.com. I did a little searching there based on your post and didn't come up with anything helpful, but if you go to http://www.loganberrybooks.com/stumpthebookseller, there's a way to submit requests to them for help (costs $4).

Yeah, well, Harley's psychotic. Edit: Geez, I really need to pay attention to posting dates before I reply.

Two-Face?

I used to know BASIC, Ada, Pascal, FORTRAN, COBOL, and had a little bit of C/C+ knowledge. That was about 20 years ago. Now . . . I do some work with DCL (Digital Command Language on OpenVMS) and *might* be able to get the gist of a COBOL program.

Damage Per Second. It's an MMO term--basically, a character whose main function is to dish out as much consistent damage as possible.

"Bud-" "Wei-" "Ser."

It's not teh bunneh guarding a future bacon supply?

Well, Cygnia's not a gazelle.

That link now leads to this: "CNN PRODUCER NOTE NASA has confirmed via email that this story is false. A spokewoman for the Jet Propulsion Laboratory says that the largest object detected by NEOWISE measures 3 km in diameter and poses no risk to Earth. The iReport has been removed. - davidw, CNN iReport producer"

The Tick . . . and he needed a chimney to throw at them.

I'd settle for it to be incorporated into car windshields, myself. Having chips and cracks heal themselves instead of having to have the windshield replaced would be nice.

If you're getting too old for people, is the double posting because senility is setting in?

From the abstract of the paper: "Through the control of reaction kinetics and vascular delivery rate, we filled impacted regions that exceed 35 mm in diameter within 20 min and restored mechanical function within 3 hours. After restoration of impact damage, 62% of the total absorbed energy was recovered in comparison with that in initial impact tests."

In college, I played in a big campaign--15 or 16 players at one time--where virtually all archetypes had multiple characters. It worked pretty well for us because it allowed us to split into squads without any glaring combat weaknesses. We often had multiple gaming sessions in a week with small teams, then one big session to bring everyone together. The characters' and players' personalities were varied enough to avoid serious out-of-combat overlaps most of the time. In the few cases where overlap developed, the characters went the friendly competition route. Overall, the campaign was a lot of fun even though the big sessions tended to drag because of side chatter developing and players not paying attention to the action.
