Well, I figure that

Quote: "do not lock if you want some fun. do not spoil if you are a moderator."


means absolutely nothing since they're a new user and I really couldn't care less if I spoil their fun

For now, it's a good exercise in making fun of someone who can't speak like a normal person

That was my first thought upon seeing the title. I was thinking of responding Jackie Chan, telling him who he was, but i'm trying to cut down on my randomness so i choose not to.

Yes, but you can't find them in stores. You will have to order them online at www.ohgoshimtoorandom.org. They work to a certain degree, however i'm still feeling randomness creeping down my spine.

Perhaps you need to look deep within yourself, see the almost intangible and devisable presence that lurks below your waking self inside your darkest dreams, it is there your true identity lies.


And about as silly as a bum full of smartys.
And yeah, I need a signature like I need a case of the crabs.

I bought fifty of those, but honestly, all it did for me was cut my breathing. When I woke up in the hospital, they said I shouldn't patch them over my nose and mouth. They didn't say that in the manual...

WhoTF is PcRaider?

I think you're it. You're Insert Name Here, and the question is to insert a name . Plus you make spelling mistakes as well.

@Dazzag: 42?

42? Nope. Thought someone would say that though. Bit too obvious. Seriously, the answer to the original puzzle is in that page. Whatsisface is obviously chuckling away silently to himself.

But we can't compare IP-adresses, can we? The mods can, though. Heya, mods! Run us a IP-check please . Or would that ruin the little game?

Well I guess the:
"`1234567890-=
~!@#$%^&*()>+"
is a clue to his keyboard layout and hence nationality. Hold down shift, type the numbers and you get the symbols listed.

Looking on wikipedia at keyboard layouts I'd say greek comes pretty close (Apart from the > symbol)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:KB_Greek.svg

Any greek members?

I kinda agree, although, honestly, I am quite curious. I think it's some prank from some new guy around.

Although Batvink does give a clue: It's JessT! He even go as far as to say "You're it!". Or is that being plain stupid?

My guide is in the form of six books in one, so page 127 is on the first book still. The second book starts on page 150 so 150+127 should be the page you're referring to, right?
Chapter 27:
Quote: "I Trust you had a pleasant meal?" said Zarniwoop to Zaphod and Trillian as they rematerialized on the bridge of the starship Heart of Gold and lay panting on the floor."
Then they talk about meeting the ruler of the universe. Is this what you're talking about? :/

Still you feel like home there. A sad home. A slowly boiling home. It si not even built yet.

And your standing at the white coasts, watching the huge seas where marauders and murderers lived.

Is your kind nothing more than a thief who wants to survive?

There will be more. Not now. How can you miss so much when seperated in two?

I dont think I've ever seen one of your posts where you havent called someone a noob

I'm gonna go check page 127. Dazzag.. you dont remember every page do you?


[edit]

There were lots of numbers mentioned, and when I matched them to the relevant symbols, I got this:

(!%!%@)

Maybe... CIBIBAD?


Btw, to whoever was asking, I'm Greek

Tried googling "a slowly boiling home" there. Came up with nothing. Then it suggested that I try "a slowly cooling home" instead. It didn't come up with anything for that either. Useful.


Wait... a boiling home? Sodom and Gomorrha were smitten in some fiery way werent they? sounds biblical 'cos it's signed 15-4... it isn't Aluseus God is it?


or... is there anyone here with Pompeii in there name?
