You haven't grown out of it.

You are here in a forum of people who cannot see your actions, so performing stupid stunts would not get the attention you seek. Instead all you can do is talk about the stupid stunts the you may have done ... so you do!

... and we are all very, very impressed by your mightiness!

Well that was original.

Come on, you could have used that opportunity to write something more interesting and funny. I'm terribly disappointed.

Quote: "In fact he is about to go and commit suicude right now."


Well i'm not sure what you meant by "suicude". I suppose you're talking about succade? Sure! I'll go make that right now, sounds delicious. Never tried it before though.

Talking of puzzles, (weren't we?!), I came across quite a nice one recently. It's actually very old, but I had never heard of it:

You are walking along a road in a desert, dying of thirst. You comes to a fork in the road - one direction leads to an oasis where you can find water, and the other direction leads to nowhere - however, the signpost has fallen down and there is no way of telling which way leads to the oasis. Fortunately, two men are standing by the side of the road who know the way. One of them always tells the truth, and one of them never tells the truth - but you don't know which is which. You can barely speak - however, you have enough voice left to ask one man one question. What should your single question be?

If you don't know the answer, try to work it out without Googling it - and if you already know, then keep it to yourself!

I hate this cruddy puzzel. You say something like "if I ask if this is the right way would you answer 'yes'?"

Theory being that a double lie = the truth? Bah!

I know the answer to this, it was used in Labyrinth for anyone that's seen it, but I've seen it somewhere else.

ok, i think you would ask either of them

"If i ask the other guy which is the right way, what would he say?"

then you go the opposite direction of whatever the response is.

(if you asked the truthful guy he will tell you the lie that the other guy would say, so it is the wrong way)
(if you asked the lying dude, he would tell you the opposite of what the truthful guy would say, so it is the wrong way)

Quote: "I thought it was XX or XY - you automatically get a X chromosome from your dear mother, and if your father blesses you with a Y chromosome then you become male, whereas if he sees fit to give you an X chromosome then you become female."


Hmm... I don't think so. For the fathers recessive X chromosome to work, it would need to be with another recessive X chromosome. The mother has a dominant X chromosome and recessive Y. Therefore, there is an even chance of getting boy or girl. Lookie this handy diagram I made

Quote: "The hydrochloric acid would burn holes in your esophagus, causing internal bleeding and possibly leaking acid into your chest cavity to burn away at all your other organs. Is that better? Or should I tell you that pure hydrochloric acid is much stronger than the stuff in your stomach, and would have no problem eating through the lining that protects us from the more diluted stomach acid.

Still don't believe me? Go drink a beaker full then."


Wow, what's this exotic "esophagus" you talk of - I only have an oesophagus myself

Besides that though, you never said it was pure HCl - pure being rather a 'bad' word too, because it implies nothing about concentration at all (you can have a weak acid without it being diluted, so it could still be 'pure').

You're also under-estimating your stomach acid; it's usually about pH 1, so unless your friend was talking about drinking battery acids or hydrofluoric acid, it's likely to be the same if not weaker.

@venge- Actually whether hydrochloric acid will burn through your throat depends on the amount of time that it is there. I have seen pure hydrochloric acid in action and it still takes a while to burn something.

The worst things that anyone has done at my school were all accidents.

No - the question will give the same answer whomever you ask, so you only need ask one of them.

Yeah there used to be a couple of rough kids in my school... Someone tried to come onto someone else's girlfriend and got their head split when the guy whose girl it was smashed the back of his head into the screw sticking out from one of those construction fences, but that's about the worst I remember seeing done deliberately... Other than that, it's not too bad a place, quite a few chavs but hey it's england, not entirely surprising. Some idiot fell through the roof once because he walked on a skylight to get a football back - he could have just walked around it though... kind of funny... He wasn't hurt too badly though, had to be rushed to hospital but I think he was back in a week or two...

I saw a kid playing softball (gay version of baseball) and the ball was hit straight up in the air right on top of him, he missed it and it hit him on the head and flew back up into the air! It got higher than the three story building behind off his head!
he went to hospital but was back the next day with a massive lump on his head
The same kid got excluded for getting his dick out! he was a bit of a retard
