Don't post pad; believe me, there is nothing worth all the trouble in the officers mess. Well, except a few waitresses, free meals and drinks, and a couple more things.

Let's try a riddle perhaps. Any use of Google or similar devices is forbidden under the Law of the Race, and punishable by death. Any offender shall be sent to the Cantina to utter the Forbidden Words as many times as shall be needed for death to follow.

"The one who makes it doesn't use it.
The one who buys it doesn't want it.
The one who uses it doesn't know it.
What is it?"

A coffin?

Alneyan · #**653** February 24th, 2005, 10:58 AM

Indeed. Hey, the riddle lasted at least fifteen minutes! Not bad.

NullAshton · #**654** February 24th, 2005, 10:59 AM

I didn't see the riddle for a while

The rules say no more that TWO posts in a row. Double posting is okay.

Alneyan · #**656** February 24th, 2005, 11:13 AM

Double-posting is fine... hey, now that I am thinking on it, the rule does say "no more than two posts in a row", which should mean this thread was not to have more than one post. After all, all the posts in this thread could be said to be "in a row", and all posters have broken that rule. At least no punishment was mentioned when the law was passed, so this legal loophole should not be exploited.

Feel free to ask a riddle yourself NullAshton, or some trivia, or some question, or start an explanation of quantum physics.

A person jumps off a 100-foot monument, and without the aid of any technological devices, survives. You may ask yes or no questions.

NullAshton · #**658** February 24th, 2005, 11:28 AM

You probally want to ask one question per post, for more post padding

Alneyan · #**659** February 24th, 2005, 11:45 AM

I already do more than enough post padding with KOTH and my Dominions games, so I will not indulge in more post padding.

We *are* talking about regular foot, equal to 12 inches, so 30.48 cm, aren't we? (Imperial measures have the annoying tendency of taking different values depending on the country)

Does it involve the use of a trampoline? (Unlikely, though who knows?)

NullAshton · #**660** February 24th, 2005, 11:53 AM

Yes, its a regular foot. And no, it does not involve the use of a trampoline. Remember, no devices helped him to survive.
