BOOBS?



BOOBS!

That was terrible!

I think it gave me a boob-seizure.

What is this current talk about boobs?

its probably boob related

RT: You know what would be really cool? If we could all send Christmas/holiday cards to each other. []

That would be pretty cool, actually.

If only my handwriting was legible!

Should we exchange addresses via pm or e-mail? We'd just need a secure way to do it...

...Google Docs? Is there password protection there? []

dropbox....

Y'all can't have my address, sorry.

Well that was a given. []

Why don't we just make e-cards...
If only I was good at drawing...

this thread just made my day! cards!

ok
i looked for the guilty pleasure thread and couldn't find it and i dont want to make another thread sooo.
i just got this gulty pleasure of touhou
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Touhou_Project
its a japanese game series that takes place in land called gensokyo, no i havent played it, but i' found some fan made music and have been more into it since then
the world is filled with super powered girls who fly around shooting magic lazers at eachother and they look cool doing that.
its kinda childish at some points because no character actually wants to kill the other characters, besides a few crazy ones, but no one ever dies. its like dragon ball z with every character being female i guess.

thats flandre, she's me favorite character so far. a vampire trapped in the basement of her and her sister's mansion due to her crazy powers.

I just thought I would share this very important concern. Deer everywhere are being misled and lied to. The government claims these Deer Crossings are safe for the deer, but those are lies!


Next time you come across a Derr Crossing sign, please, do your part to help everyone, and move it somewhere safer.

Think of the deer!

RT: Yoga pants.

So a while ago this comic came out on Wonderella.



I'm not very good at maths but I'm curious to know the answer to this, if you can even work out the answer. Can you guys help me out?

Problems: A block is not a standard unit of measurement
Nor is "like hell"

So that's where I went wrong on my Maths coursework.

Perhaps if we establish a formal measurement for the purpose of the problem?

There may be a more elegant way to calculate this, but I kind of brute-forced it.

Let's say the average block size is about 100m², meaning the distance to travel can be assumed to equal about 200m.

Now we calculate the amount of time it takes for the train to get there. I did this by adding the distance travelled/minute until I reached the limit (in this case, 5 miles or about 8km).

The first minute the train travels at 55mph, and covers a distance of 1475m. The next minute it travels 54mph and covers a distance of 1448m. After 5 minutes, the distance travelled like this equals 7108m, with 892m still to go. The train, now going 50mph, covers this distance in 36s.
The total time wonderwoman here has is 5 minutes and 36 seconds or 336 seconds in all.

This means she has to travel 400m (return journey included) in 336 seconds. To do so she would have to move at an average speed of 1.2m/s = 4.3km/h = 2.7mph. This is roughly the average human walking speed.

RT: Why does the forum logo not say "BOOBS ARE THE BREASTEST"? I'd think that'd be the first pun made...[]

You have to take into account how much time she would spend at the store, as well, to be able to say whether she would make it or not.

Well, as it closes in ten minutes she wouldn't spend bags of time there. Unless there's a queue or something?
