Is this a trick question?  

[copycat]

How can you not understand , am i that insane or do ppl around here make me sound insane

Well
a) I don't play those mini-games that much
b) My memory is not storing many particulars of those mini-games, when I play them, especially not sounds.

We opened the asylum for that reason

* copycat starts to train more cats specialized in emotion therapy.

[copycat]

Yeah it has held out because 3/4 quarters of my posts actually make sense

* copycat calculates...

0.75*0.75=0.5625, oh well, at least it's still above 50%.

[Questing Character]

I don't know why, but the fact that the cats are giving the emotional therapy around these parts makes me put less faith in the asylum....

[B'rrr]

wouldn't that be 0.75 * 0.25?? ; )

[Yonkey]

Actually I've heard that pets do help with emotional therapy because they're supposed to reduce stress levels or something.  

[Jeysie]

Yeah, we'll get everyone a black cat.

Peace & Luv, Liz

[Yonkey]

Hahaha, I forgot completely about that.

Actually this reminds me, in one of my classes they said that North Americans see black cats as a symbol of bad luck, but they're seen as a symbol of good luck in the UK.  Is that true?  Mango?  Alex?  Kimmie?  

[J-ROC]

Why are we multiplying again?

[Yonkey]

It's a necessary part of sustaining the human species.  

Oh, you weren't talking about that.  

[B'rrr]

Yeah it has held out because 3/4 quarters of my posts actually make sense

3/4 quaters isn't that double?? ..i mean in dutch it is. It would be 3 quaters or 3/4. 3/4 quaters would mean 3/4 * 1/4 = 3/16

[MangoMercury]

I always thought black cats were good luck.  I read in a storybook that if a black cat comes to you from the right hand side then it's good luck.  So maybe it's bad from the left?

Oh, and i don't know about pets reducing stress levels.  The amount of bites and claw attacks I get from my cat does ANYTHING but that

[J-ROC]

No, three quarters is just three quarters.  3/4.  0.75. 75%.
No more, no less.

this is why I'm confused about the multiplying.  Why are we multiplying at all?!

EDIT -> Ah, I re-read it.  All is clear as mud now.  Good at math, suck at reading.

3/4 quarters would also indicate to me that we would get 3/4's of 1/4.  Rob is correct.

[racx_00]

i didnt mean to confuse ppl

LOL!

[racx_00]

You are right, they are amazingly crazy ; ) ....hmm, and feel free to join the Asylum Krista  

* B'rr wonders if he is the only sane person left on this forum

You are as sane as I

Guten Tag Krista

Enjoy your stay , and remember every1 here is insane

[racx_00]

Well
a) its not a trick question
b) if you played MoE then you would remember Connor saying it

[Yonkey]

I always heard that if a black cat crosses your path, you'll have bad luck.  Never specified which direction though.  

Personally, I'm not superstitious so: black cats, 13, broken mirrors, walking under ladders, opening an umbrella indoors (hah i still don't get that one) don't mean anything to me.

The only one I'd consider bad luck is the broken mirror, but only because you have to shell out some cash to buy a new one!  

[Storm]

If you see a black cat, you have to spit on the ground 3 times against the bad luck. Of course, I don't do that myself - I'm not superstitious, not to mention ick

[Yonkey]

Interesting!  I guess projecting saliva is enough to scare both the cat and bad luck away!

Haha I'm just kidding, I've seen the spitting thing before too.
