Ah. Mine was started by a pyro with an impulse control problem.

Isn't that somewhat redundant?

Re: City of Heroes - Online Hero Game

What does that mean?

They only way to get the influence in the first place is by "arresting" villians.

Great, now we have to fight for the last word in two threads

Re: The Last Word

Ecclesiastical full moon, which is not quite the same thing as physical full moon.

 

Also, at one time I thought the formula was first Sunday after the first Friday after the first ecclesiastical full moon after the vernal equinox (Good Friday being a significant day in itself). That may have got built into the ecclesiastical full moon formula, though.

I'm not sure it would be since it has always been based on Passover, which has no reason to be pegged to a Sunday.

Broadband, man. BROADBAND.

Are you kidding, that has to be broadband.

Re: The Last Word

Nothing like finishing an assignment on the last day.

I was supposed to finish the assignments. Now I get it.

Re: The Last Word

Is that anything like "nihilo-constructivist"?

I got better.

I didn't vote for you.

Re: The Last Word

That's good. I don't give lab assignments unless I have built into them ways that make dry-labbing apparent. Perhaps it's apparent only to me in the assignment itself, but it's very apparent in the document I file with the Dean.

 

"Most professors believe that burning at the stake is too lenient a penalty for cheating, but they'll go along with it anyway since it's cheap and convenient."

I half dry-labbed something once. We were supposed to run the experiment twice but I ran out of time for some reason so I fudged the results of the second experiment using the first as a guide. I don't believe the teacher noticed.

I was, however, annointed as the student with the worst luck in lab work ever by my HS Chem II (Inorganic) teacher. I had to repeat several labs because he said my results weren't possible. One experiment involved silver nitrate (I believe) and, of course, was sensative to light. The second run of the experiment was kept in the supply closet which only the teacher had access to. It was also ruined by light exposure but the teacher said it looked like someone had shown a flashlight on it for a couple of hours and couldn't figure out how that had happened. I didn't have to attempt it a third time.

Needless to say, I decided to stay away from any field requiring lab work.

What's wrong with it?

It wasn't Purdue?

Re: The Last Word

UMass in Amherst, not Indiana, or so I was told by someone who lived nearby.

 

EDIT: Snopes says there is no such thing, though.

Which would explain why I, as an IU-hater (I mean really who could like a school that keeps a furniture salesman as a basketball coach*), heard the story about IU.

*Did you hear that Bobby Knight went into the furniture business? If you buy a coach, he'll throw in a chair.

Re: The Last Word

Wasn't it the library at Indiana University where the engineers forgot to account for the weight of the books in the stacks when planning the foundation causing the building to sink into the ground as the stacks were filled?

Re: The Last Word

For my master's the advising was extremely important because they did not announce what classes would be offered in future semesters. Without the adviser you might find yourself unable to take a required class because you missed the offering.

Re: Storn's Art & Characters thread.

There is Australian Rules Football and then the second raters like:

 

Rugby Union

Rugby League

Gaellic

American

Soccer

 

It is next to impossible to get a broadcast of Aussie rules football here in America.

Re: The Last Word

Nope. The only reason I knew it was there at all was because I put my head directly over the little dish (between a watchglass and a crucible ... I don't know the right term) as we cooked it and looked into it. So it was coming straight up into my face. No clue about it any other way.

We were making enough to actually see it. Of course, we were supposed to be doing it and were working with fume hoods. It is a neat color though.

Re: The Last Word

Ventilation is the key. And since chlorine has a pretty distinct odor' date=' that helps. Not like it's carbon monoxide.[/quote']

 

Plus it's a lovely shade of green. In sufficient quantities. Was it bad that the chem room had a green cloud in it?

Re: The Last Word

Why would either of you do those kinds of things? Tear gas isn't deadly' date=' but chlorine?[/quote']

 

We made chlorine gas in high school Chemistry I. I had a bad cough for the rest of the day.

Re: The Last Word

I have to pay extra to recycle. Isn't that backwards?

So I don't do it. If it was free I would but why should I have to pay extra?

Re: The Last Word

Not so much with the teaching method, it's just that it is basically a whole new area of math that you haven't leaned anything about yet.
