Things To Do While Waiting For Death... 2006

That's not really him singing that song; someone's just cut together words from a few speeches he's made that are the same as the words from the song, and dubbed them over a soundtrack to make it sound like he's singing it.

 

You're such a killjoy, SC

Well I for one thought it was very clever and funny, thanks for posting it Bou .

Pick your nose.

[Magere Hein 1,398]

Can anyone explain this one?

 

Please?

 

My guess is that it has something to do with the thickness of the black lines.

 

The pieces of the left picture wouldn't fit as depicted in the right one, because of different angles. Count 'm: the slope of the hypotenuse of the triangles is 3 to 8, the slope of the skewed side of the quadrilaterals is 2 to 5, slightly more. In the right picture, behind the lines, there's a very acute parallelogram of white in the middle with area 1.

Hein

I have read and re-read your explanation, but I just don't get it. And I have stared hard at the diagram to try and find the 'parallelogram' but it not appearing to me. I have now printed of a copy of the diagram and with some scissors will attempt to try it out. How sad.

 

EDIT:

Have done the scissors thing. It works, all pices fit as they should, so I am even more perplexed.

 

Aaarrrgggghh. I hate not understanding things, and it's too early to have a beer and calm down.

I do now, thanks.

 

I can have that beer in peace now, and I owe you one.

 

Cheers

Try this out.

I'm just about to attempt number 3.

(Took me ages to figure out what I was supposed to do)... a great way of passing time whilst awaiting death** Here

Thank you, Hein. It's pretty obvious once it's been pointed out. But I couldn't have got there by myself!

 

Meanwhile....

You swine SC, as anyone who knows me will testify I am extremely gullible and easy to wind up, it's something of a sport in my family to tell me tall tales, I fall for them almost every time, providing my parents, siblings and husband with great amusement .

[Star Crossed 33]

Don't just wait for death, race towards it by attempting to join The 900 Club.

 

Made me feel a bit peckish reading that. I wonder what's in the fridge?

Going back a bit I just did the Dante's Inferno test. I was a 7th leveller - violent

You mean those hail storms, lighting and rain a few weeks ago was my fault. Great. . . I totalled the truck !!

 

However, the resemblance is quite uncanny.

[Madame Defarge 21]

I'm Storm as well! Since we can fly, truck disorders shouldn't be as much as of a nuisance

to us as they are to the earthbound. Sorry to hear yours is totalled, though.

I am really quite spooked by how accurate that assessment of my character actually is!

 

Welcome to the forum, Bloody Mary.

[Lady_Fiona 0]

while waiting for death you could get stuck in a traffic jam on ascot high street for an hour like i did this morning.

 

Why do i live in ascot and its ladies day today.

[Magere Hein 1,398]

Why do i live in ascot and its ladies day today.

Sounds like a good day for a holiday. Somewhere else.

I am also Iceman, equally not surprised and quite accurate.

 

I can certainly turn any lady into ice merely by looking at her. What's more, they never ever melt, even after I become nearly invisible.

 

Sometimes even telling jokes is a bit of an effort for me to be honest, I'm sure you've all noticed.

 

I will let you know if I ever advance in ice weaponry, I've had no luck so far. Maybe if I waited until the winter I'd do better.
