No. I'm not even quite sure what they are, though the term has a slightly fuzzy memory attached to it.

I bought some cabbage and I put it in my fridge but I didn't need to use it for about a week and a half. Then, when I unwrapped it, the cabbage was full of bugs - hundreds of little flies and aphids, most of them still crawling around! I peeled off the outer layers and there were more bugs, and there were bugs even deep inside. I threw it away.

Hmm, I'm considering lining up at the theatre for the new Star Wars movie. I wonder if it's true that some people have started waiting in line a month early...

Re: The Race to Insanity and Beyond!
 

Why? The movie will be exactly the same in a month, when all the fuss and long lines will probably be game.

Plus, a near-empty theatre is a lot more peacefull.

Re: The Race to Insanity and Beyond!
 

I had the realization that there's some things that come neatly folded when you buy them, but once you open it up, it's hard to put it back properly.
- road maps
- sleeping bags
- dress shirts

Space-ship parachutes.

They had some astronauts come by when I was in elementary once. Big huge parachute, teeny tiny little can - about five inches high and no more than three across.

Maybe they have finally recognized our insanity

Re: The Race to Insanity and Beyond!
 

Meh, insanity only means out of touch with reality.

The Race to Insanity and Beyond!
 

Hey, I wonder what it would be like if I were made of anti-matter? Well, I guess I won't survive very long at all if everything around me was made of matter. On the other hand, if everything else were also made of anti-matter, I suppose nobody would notice any difference.

Re: The Race to Insanity and Beyond!
 

How do we know *we aren't* the anti-matter?...

Re:
 

For the antimatter people, we're indeed the antimatter.

If you were made of antimatter, you wouldn't immediately disappear IIRC - only when you touch your realmatter self would you both disappear. Antimatter, like matter, is a specific kind of material. Anti-oxygen atoms wouldn't annihilate nitrogen atoms.

Re:
 

Says you. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Since no-one has discovered true anti-matter, we're free to speculate. (On the other hand, negatively charged protons are another matter http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif )

Re:
 

Yes they would.
Not 100% of course, but the electrons and positrons, protons and antiprotons would all pair off and annihilate.

You'd be left with an Antiproton, a Positron, and a handful of neutrons. And a whole lot of energy blasting out in the form of photons, pions and other debris.

Re: The Race to Insanity and Beyond!
 

Guess what! I finally figured out how to throw grenades! You pull out the grenade, like this, then you pull out the pin, like this and then you throw the grenade (Not the pin, that's very important), anBOOM!!!!

* And you should always make sure that you don't hold it for more than three seconds. Medic?

Re: The Race to Insanity and Beyond!
 

Insert your own Monty Python holy hand grenade reference here http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: 1,500
 

No, no, no. You're doing it all wrong. Here, give me that.

takes grenade from Narf

See? You have two guys take out the grenade on a pillow, pull out the cross, and then throw it at the bunny. Stand clear.

Oh, and if it doesn't sing "Halleluah" in the air, you probably forgot to pull out the cross.

Re: 1,500
 

Silly people, It's just an ordinary grenade.

Like this one right here.

* Evil Grin.

/me starts pulling pins out of grenades and throwing the grenades.

MWUHAHAHAHA!!!!

Race to Insanity and Beyond!
 

Only 3 seconds? I seem to remember in some movie, the good guy and bad guy were tossing the grenade back and forth, back and forth, and finally it exploded when the bad guy caught it, but it seemed longer than three seconds. Or a grenade comes flying into the room through the window, and the people fumble around trying to grab it, and it's rolling around on the floor, and then the hero finally gets it, throws it out the window, and it explodes. That seemed more than three seconds, too.

I guess some grenades take more than 3 seconds to explode.

Re:
 

Those are movie grenades, they rely on pyrotechnicians for detonation, not fuses.

Re:
 

Some grenades only blow up if the pin is out, and a jolt hits the grenade, hitting some vital piece out of the grenade.

Re: The Race to Insanity and Beyond!
 

Like I said.....

Re: The Race to Insanity and Beyond!
 

Yeah! Now blow up already!

Re: The Race to Insanity and Beyond!
 

Ashton has the grenade blow up in his hand, and he stands there, blinking.

Who took the pin out???

Re: The Race to Insanity and Beyond!
 

Boom! Boom, boom boom boom!
Who took the pin out???
Boom! Boom, boom boom boom!

Sorry, that just reminded me of some old rap or hip-hop song... wow, is the genre that established that it's POSSIBLE to say "old rap or hip-hop song"??? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/eek.gif

Re: The Race to Insanity and Beyond!
 

Depends - How long has it been out and what are you comparing it too?

Re: The Race to Insanity and Beyond!
 

I dunno, but it's been out a couple years now I think...

Re: The Race to Insanity and Beyond!
 

I was refering to the genre.

I mean, compared to classical music, contemporary is barely out of diapers. Some of it is still in diapers.

I need to exercise more... how embarassing, a little 78-year old guy beat me in arm wrestling.

Was he chinese, with a scanty beard and mustache?

Re: The Race to Insanity and Beyond!
 

Did he look yellow, lumpy and kind of rock-like? With big, bulging green eyes?

Re: The Race to Insanity and Beyond!
 

No, he's a bald Russian dude (or so he claims). However, he sometimes says and does things that make me wonder if he's from another planet. He brings weights to work and lifts them every lunch time.

I've been lazy these last few months and haven't been going to the gym. Maybe I can buy those velcro strap-on weights and wear them on my wrists and ankles all day, I wonder if that will make me stronger.

Re:
 

Or maybe they'll be so heavy that they'll fall right off the velcro and break a couple of your toes. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

I couldn't find it when I did a search and it doesn't have a section on the Malfador site.
