lzfan715 Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 It was about a guy who takes a "friend" into a wine cellar/catacomb and then chains him up. After that he builts a wall around him and leaves him there to die. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shadowlongerthansoul Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 His parents say he was normal when he was little, then he had a really bad seizure, and that was when his abilities bloomed. So scientists have taken an interest in him, wondering if everyone has the capacity for genius that he does, and it just takes something to "unlock" it... Here he is on David Letterman, talking about how he set the record for reciting Pi to 22,000 decimal places Link And here's a 6 minute video about the challenge to learn Icelandic in 1 week... Wow, Sounds like this guy has the mnemonic memory down to a 'T." That's fascinating. Custard Pi.....mmmm. Thank you. Shad w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katuschka Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 He recited π to 22,000 decimal places? I don't think I'd be able to do that if I devoted my entire life to it. I know that π is 3.14...that's all if need to know...that and π(r2) is an equation for something. The area of a circle? Yep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manderlyh Posted February 7, 2008 Author Share Posted February 7, 2008 Here's a poem that I wrote down in one of my classes today that I really like: Merry Go Round Colored Child at Carnival By Langston Hughes Where is the Jim Crow section On this merry-go round, Mister, cause I want to ride? Down South where I come from White and colored Don’t sit side by side, Down South on the train There’s a Jim Crow car, On the bus we’re put in back— But there ain’t no back To a merry-go-round! Where’s the horse For the kid who’s black? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy-Conway Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 ....and now for something completely different.... The word fuck is completely versatile.... The most interesting and colorful words in the English language today is the word "fuck". It is the magical word which, just by its sound can describe pain, pleasure, love, and hate. In language , "fuck" falls into many Grammatical categories. It can be used as a verb both transitive (John fucked Mary) and intransitive (Mary was Fucked by John). It can be an action verb (John really gives a fuck), a passive verb (Mary really doesn't give a fuck), and adverb (Mary is fucking interested in John), or as a noun (Mary is a terrific fuck). It can also be used as an interjection (Fuck! I'm late for my date with Mary). It can even be used as a conjunction (Mary is easy, fuck she's also stupid). As you can see there are very words with the overall versatility of the word fuck. Aside from its sexual connotations, this word can be used to describe many situations: 1. Greetings........."How the fuck are ya?" 2. Fraud..............."I got fucked by the car dealer." 3. Resignation......."Oh, fuck it! 4. Trouble............."I guess I'm fucked now." 5. Aggression........."FUCK YOU!" 6. Disgust................"Fuck me." 7. Confusion............." What the fuck....?" 8. Displeasure............"Fucking shit man..." 9. Lost........................"where the fuck are we?" 10. Disbelief.............."UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLE!!" 11. Retaliation............."Up your fucking ass!" 12. Apathy................."Who really gives a fuck?" 13. Suspicion............."Who the fuck are you?" 14. Directions.............."Fuck off." It can be maternal........"MOTHERFUCKER!!" It can be used to tell time......." It's four fucking twenty!" It can be used as an anatomical description............."He's a fucking asshole." Lastly, it has been used by many notable people throughout history: "What the fuck was that?" ~Mayor of Hiroshima~ "Thats not a real fucking gun." ~John Lennon~ "Where the fuck is all this water coming from?" ~Captain of the Titanic~ "Who the fuck is gonna find out?" ~Richard Nixon~ "Heads are gonna fucking roll." ~Anne Boleyn~ "Any fucking idiot could answer that." ~Albert Einstein~ "It does so fucking look like her!" ~Picasso~ "You want what on the fucking ceilng?" ~Michaelangelo~ "Fuck a duck." ~Walt Disney~ "Houston we have a big fucking problem." ~The crew of Apollo 13~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzyMerkin Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 It can be used as a verb both transitive (John fucked Mary) and intransitive (Mary was Fucked by John). That'd be active and passive use. I'm a fucking nerd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manderlyh Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 I've got notes on that one! ROFL One of my English writing teachers lectured us on it, then later on in the day, I got another lecture on the topic from my linguistics teacher...

Gainsbarre Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Iw rote this thing, it's like a commentary from an old Movietone or Pathé Newsreel that they used to show in the cinemas, about a busty young new actress: "Yes Chaps, its vim and vigour down the old Hollywood Boulevard way, as ample actress Bibi Boobstocking busts her way onto the sensual silver screen. What's the matter, mate? Gobsmacked over Miss Gorgeous or has Bibi Boobstocking busted your balls? She's one gal who knows how to play hard. Men all over the world can now freely froth at the mouth as Miss Boobstocking helps you to manhandle your manhood one-handed style. And don't be alarmed, chaps, if you hear a disturbing quivering in my voice. It's mighty difficult to commentate over a pathé news reel while ejecting your buzzboy out of his cockpit."
