  Uh, yeah.  Umm, no comment, I think. 

Don't make me get Storm to translate that.

 I am informed it means Republic of Lebanon.  I just copy-pasted it from the Wiki into al Jazeera arabic for the heck of it.

I copied and pasted it in order to post in the Weird Links thread.

Link

If I click a link that opens in a new window, IE crashes and locks up my computer, so I copied the link to start at that thread again.

"You realize that this"

I assume there was an end to that statement somewhere.

1. Barney is well-described with the following phrase:

    CUTE PURPLE DINOSAUR

2. The old Latin alphabet used the letter 'V' in place of 'U', therefore the above phrase is modified to:

    CVTE PVRPLE DINOSAVR

3. Letters that do not represent Roman numerals are removed:

    CV-- -V--L- DI----V-

4. Add up the Roman numerals of the remaining letters:

    C + V + V + L + D + I + V

    100 + 5 + 5 + 50 + 500 + 1 + 5 = 666, which is the Number of the Beast.

5. Therefore, Barney is considered Satan.


So funny I just had to copy and paste it into other msn conversations.

W00T! *originally showed that to Jason*

There was a man who sat each day looking out through a narrow vertical opening where a single board had been removed from a tall wooden fence. Each day a wild ass of the desert passed outside the fence and across the narrow opening--first the nose, then the head, the forelegs, the long brown back, the hindlegs, and lastly the tail. One day, the man leaped to his feet with the light of discovery in his eyes and he shouted for all who could hear him: "It is obvious! The nose causes the tail!"

Spreading the false cause fallacy, humor edition.

* The game is based at the centrepoint of Christ's birth. Will He be in the game?
No. It could be taken as sacrilegious and/or preachy to include Jesus in a game; either way it could be offensive, so it's best to avoid the issue altogether. Of course, players could create such a unit with our modding tools, if they wish.

One of the questions from 0 A.D. I found to be pretty intriguing.

"On November 22, 2005, hellogoodbye released a home DVD titled OMG HGB DVD ROTFL."

That's the output of a client-side HTTP request for one of my labs.  You can really tell a lot about a user, just from the way they request information.
