172) You are taking the biology exam. Lecture gives you the following questions on a sheet of paper:
1. Why do a badger has multiple ways to get out of his burrow? 2. Why are some lizards able to regenerate their tales, if cut off? 3. Why did the dinosaurus die long long ago? 4. Why do bears sleep in winter? 5. Why do little cats are used to turn around trying to catch their tale? 6. Why do chameleons change their skin colour? 7. Why do hares change their fur in winter/summer time? 8. Why can't penguins fly? 9. Why do frogs always catch an insect with their tongue? 10. Why do cangaroos have a pouch? These questions seem no problem for you. Here goes the answers: 1) If a badger suspects one way is mined, it uses another to go to the shop and purchase the minesweeper. 2) They have got an organic armor. 3) Because of plague. They didn't possess the medical bay technology. 4) Just mothballing maintainance costs. 5) Little cats are learning the function "Repeat Orders" . 6) Cloaking. 7) Retrofitting armor. 8) Their engines doesn't store enough suply to lift the weight of a penguin off the ground. 9) They have the religious talisman. 10) In order to have a possibility to transport extra population. The next day you come to know exam rezults. You find your paper and... get amased. Slightly. Your mark is nine. The fifth answer is striked out in red with the following comment nearby: All units have "Repeat Orders" available at once when created. The correct answer should be: Little cats are getting used to deal with newly acquired scanning technology; scanning surroundings. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif |

206 Your heart palpitates at the slightest hint that the PBW server may be down.
207 You panic when you discover the PBW server is down. 208 You go into shock when you discover the PBW server may be down for more than 10 minutes. 209 You display severe withdrawal symptoms if the PBW server is down more than a day. 210 If the PBW server is down more than 2 days, you are bundled away by some guys in white coats to a place where you can do no harm to yourself or to others. 211 If you do not have access to the PBW server for more than 3 days, (and how can you, if you are put into a nice, stark, clean, 9 by 8 room with no amenities) you start to drool, become vacant eyed and withdraw from all contact with the world. |
