david.atwell Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 My sister's cat just fell out my sister's window and survived. My sister lives on the eighth floor. There is no tricky language here. He fell eighty feet. From this window, to concrete: No broken bones. As far as the vet can tell, no major damage to internal organs. The best explanation we can come up with is the tree at the bottom broke his fall. Amazing. This cat just got a lot more interesting. Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos. And nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it. One day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world.Amy: But how did it end up in there?The Doctor: You know fairy tales. A good wizard tricked it.River Song: I hate good wizards in fairy tales; they always turn out to be him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

survulus Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 You mean keep going until he dies? And I was thinking about that the other day, your told cats always land on thier feet, but really, does that matter if they were, say, falling from an aeroplane? Wow, I thought that one out too much. And pyro..... what did I do there?.... haha Quote Check out all my newest stuff on my dA I iz bassist here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyrochild Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Not until it dies, no. Just until it realizes it's owner is probably not a good person to be hanging around. And leaves. If you didn't get your own pun, well, there's no point explaining it Quote ambigram signature by Kemaru [i write plugins and stuff] If you like a post, upvote it!

Rick Brewster Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I've just picked up the same book at the library. (A Brief History of Time) I sense another difficult read for me. But I finished the one BoltBait recommended so now I try the one Rick reads. It is very interesting to see what type of books those with more education than I have read. I try to better my knowledge. ciao OMA His follow up book, The Universe in a Nutshell, is more approachable (it has pictures! ) and covers most of the same territory. Worth reading both, then re-reading parts that are confusing. For instance, the whole imaginary time thing hasn't quite clicked with me because I don't believe he explained it very well past making an analogy to a standard Euclidian coordinate system. It's like a necessary part of that conversation just isn't included in the book.

Boude Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Since were talking about books anyway, a short history of nearly everything is also an interesting book. Quote History repeats itself, because nobody was paying attention the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy Man Dan Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 << Could've used a bit more sleep, thanks so much...but there's work to be done, money to be made... Prosilver guy could've used it, too... >> Heh. I was thinking: what about making a "Point at avatar" BBCode? It could detect whether the user has ProSilver or Subsilver2, justify it accordingly, and automatically prepend a » or « to suit. Of course, I wouldn't clutter up the BBCode row with it, but it might be an interesting, if rarely used, feature.

MyChemicalSnowman Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 Since were talking about books anyway, a short history of nearly everything is also an interesting book. My favourite book is "Earth:A Visitor's Guide" simply because it has EVERYTHING in...Almost lierally... My favourite authors though are: Darren Shan Robert Muchamore Stephen King Anthony Horowitz Douglas Adams And a lot more i can't be bothered to type xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like a necessary part of that conversation just isn't included in the book. When I went to the check out counter at the library, the young fellow told me to wait, and he brought me back the updated and expanded Edition of A Brief History of Time. It is an illustrated version. At least this book doesn't have a million pages like the one BoltBait recommended. I've browsed thru several sections of this book already. It reminds me very much of Popular Science. From what I've read so far, I think I will really enjoy this book. I just flipped to the section about imaginary numbers and that is going to take some real outside the box brain cells. LOL! I already ordered the other you mentioned thru interlibrary loan and perhaps between the two of them I might cram some advanced logic into my old noggin. ciao OMA Quote My Deviant Art Gallery Oma's Paint.Net gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
