HAHAHAHAHA, about halfway through, gold. -fuse.

Don't read this if you want to solve the triangle puzzle on your own. Those triangles aren't similar, they aren't even triangles really. This is because the slope of the red triangle and the slope of the teal triangle aren't the same. You can see this by counting down two and then over five on the red triangle. You will see that it doesn't exactly cross the corner point. Also, if you add the area of the individual peices, you get a total of 32 units. But when you calculate the area of the whole triangle, you get 32.5 units. As for the absense of that unit at the bottom of the second triangle, look at it like this. The teal triangle has a slope of 2/5 whereas the red triangle has a slope of 3/8. This means the slope of the teal triangle is less steep than that of the red triangle. This means that the top of the first triangle is actually concave and the top of the second triangle is convex, so the extra area has to come out somewhere. So, the top of the first triangle's concavity compensates for the extra half a unit and the second one's convexity of the second adds an additional half a unit. .5-(-.5) = 1 whole unit, hence the hole in the base of the second triangle. And no one cares probably. -fuse.

I played on today, and even though the game I played was hella lame, I have to say I enjoyed playing it. It's very unique. In the start up page thing where you select the option to play the game or edit this or that you don't even use the d-pad. The controller acts kind of like a laser pointer. You just point it at what you want to select and hit the button that is conveniently located under your thumb. There's something about that that I like. The system is like those VR games you used to play for $5 a round at those really cool arcades, except not as gimmicky. I like the wii. I'll probably get on eventually. -fuse.

I love Thanksgiving because pie is one of my favorite foods. With that said... I'm more excited about Christmas and New Years this year because I'll be celebrating it 17 time zones away, on the beach, in the Australian summer, with one of my best friends ever. -fuse.

Every time I see this on TV, I wonder what the hell I'm supposed think is happening on the phone. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4rpvb9vjEE Anyone care to fill me in? -fuse.

Yes, that is how we do. Add an egg sometime, it's the bombdiggity. -fuse.

What are some good spicy ones? I love spicy. Leave some suggestions. I'm gonna go check out the asian market and refill tomorrow. -fuse.

Explosion. That way I wouldn't crap myself and I would be guaranteed quick death. -fuse.

Thank you. I really hate those Duo commercials. On the up side, I hear these zune things are supposed to have some sort of connectivity with each other without using a cord. I think that means you can trade music between zunes wirelessly. -fuse.

I usually drain out most of my broth and make it with an egg. So my noodles are more lo mein like I guess? But when I do have the broth, I do drink some of it at least. -fuse.

Re: I'm officially a man Haha, that's the stupidest thing I have ever heard. That's the sinlge greatest thing I've seen in a while. -fuse.

I don't want to get trashed tonight because I've got no one to cart my sorry ass around and I'd hate to have the police sub in for my friends. Next weekend will be the weekend of trashedness. Long story short, I'm terrible at planning things and I only thought about where I wanted to go tonight, and didn't consider that I'd probably want to go to these places with people. Besides, tonight I'm supposed to get a round bought for me from halfway around the world. -fuse. Also, I'm out for the night. I'll post the results tomorrow.

Today is my birthday. 21, but I've been drinking since forever, so it's not that big a deal. I don't plan to get smashed, I just want to have some good times with some good people. It's too bad crooked isn't in town. -fuse.

Also, try the stairs. There's only really one part of that thing that I like. An internet cookie to you if you guess which part. -fuse.

Phone commercial. Good stuff. -fuse.

My secret to survival this winter is escaping for a month to a country where it's currently summer -fuse.

I'm worried that it will hinge on some false/ignorant promise of pulling us out of Iraq. And the only reason I'm worried about it is because I believe that, for the most part, people are idiots. I'm worried that some politician will make the bogus prromise of pulling us out of Iraq, and that the general population will fall for it. Here's why such a promise would be false/stupid: For a quite some time now, the middle east has been kept at a certain level of stability by the power dynamic between Iraq and Iran. We removed Sadam because our leaders saw him as a ruthless tyrant. They didn't bother to take into account the delicacy of middle eastern politics. If they had, they would have noticed that Sadam was a tyrant, but he was a very also effective ruler. You can tell me all day about how terrible he was as a person (killing his own countrymen and all that) but I'm already very aware of that. The problem that we have created by removing Sadam is that we have destroyed the balance between Iraq and Iran. We have created a virtually powerless Iraq. If we were to pull out any time soon, Iran would move definitely move in. Iraq would resist, but let's face it, all that would amount to is a lot of Iraqi deaths. You may say, why does this matter to us? Well, Iran definitely has a nuclear program capable of producing nuclear arms in relatively short order, and they definitely do not like us. Also, taking control of Iraq would put them closer to Israel, which they have also expressed great dislike for. In short, pulling out of Iraq any time soon could cause much more trouble in world affairs than staying. I don't think that the American population is attached to world events enough to realize this and that a false promise could lead them astray in the democratic process. Share your thoughts and such. -fuse. p.s. This is my first crossfire thread.

I always seem to enjoy the intro credits to these movies more than the movie itself. -fuse.

I don't use GAIM anymore since my linux box decided to die on me about a week ago. I hope I can get it fixed (it's a laptop, so I'm not up to doing it myself). If not, RIP little buddy. -fuse.

^^Chyeauh. I use trillian too. It's great. -fuse.

I haven't read a single bad review. And I HAVE read several that say it is the funniest movie ever, in the last decade, or at least in the last few years. -fuse.

Peed in her butt, used funnel. -fuse.

I just didn't show up for "important meetings." They tried to fire me the next day, but they fucked up because they paused in the process, which gave me time to say "I QUIT!" They did the whole "You missed the meeting yesterday, so guess what that means...." me: "I quit." -fuse.

I voted last week, but I only voted for two people. I'm not very politically active and didn't know anyone else on the ballot. So I thought it would be irresponsible to vote for them without prior knowledge of their stance on key issues. But I did vote. Also, as far as the going to shit thing goes... We are stuck in Iraq now for quite some time. I don't like it, you don't like it, but it's a fact. Removing Sadam was actually not a good thing to do. This is because it disrupts what stability the region had by destroying the power dynamic between Iraq and Iran. If we pull out any time soon, Iran is going to fuck everything up and we will have a MUCH larger problem. All I'm trying to say is that when the time comes that people are running for office saying that they are going to get us out of Iraq, don't believe them/vote for them solely because of that promise. They are trying to tell the public what they want to hear, which in this case is probably one of the dumbest things we could do. -fuse.

Sometimes when it's wet out, I roll my jeans up. I have this thing about the grimey feeling that jeans get when ground water gets on them. It REALLY bothers me. -fuse.
