    Oh, shit. No. You're right. I'm sorry, my sleep-deprived mind had me thinking of things as they are and not as they work on paper.

    Edit: It also kept me from wording this to sound sincere. Trust that I'm not being sarcastic.

    I wrote a new poem. Any thoughts? Puerile? Decent? Image-y?
    When

    When will your words end their ricochet,
    Forever beating against my delusions so futilely?
    Like a disorganized army
    they throw themselves constantly at the fortress of my will,
    Spear themselves on hope,
    Bleed on my dreams,
    And die before the edge of reason,
    The graveyard of all I fear.

    I like the idea of the Beastmaster class and I like how they have left the creature types slightly generic. I'm not sure it is distinct enough from the ranger though.

    We do have a rule, and I think it was the first thing I pushed for when I got modded.

    Man I remember the jet question. The jet takes off. Or its tires blow out, it skids off the conveyor belt and kills everyone onboard horribly.

    Man why haven't mythbusters done this? All you'd need is a model aeroplane.

    I don't really get what's to misunderstand. It's a plane on a conveyor belt.

    Most people think the speed of the plane is measured relative to the conveyor belt because they're retarded.

    This doesn't seem like a mistake mythbusters would make. Moreover, since their thing is actually recreating the conditions of the myth, they'd still see the actual effect.

    Of course I suppose the whole thing is made more complicated by the fact that you'll have some residual ground speed added by friction in the coupling between the wheels and the plane.

    EDIT: And of course there's the fact that the conveyor itself would just keep going faster and faster until it blew up because the plane would keep gaining speed.

    They wanted to find out if cowboys randomly shooting into the air could hurt people when the bullets came down. To test this they spent fucking forever trying to fire bullets directly vertically. They considered it disproved because rather than recreate the myth they tried to recreate the one scenario in which it wouldn't occur. At this point I started ignoring mythbusters.

    ...Its pretty obvious that if a bullet comes down, and hits you, you'll be damaged. I didn't see the episode, but I assume they were mainly trying to see if it was possible for a cowboy to hit himself doing that.

    Otherwise it would be a retarded myth to check.

    Hello Chat,

    so I went to my brothers house at the weekend and played fallout 3, fable 2 and farcry 2 on the 360. fallout3 is awesomo!

    I also recieved a new pc which is super nice too and I have binned my 5 year old dell. It was a productive weekend, I even managed to avoid a 5 car pileup on the motorway on the drive there too!

    It was mostly how lethal it would be. Which is very lethal, unless you fire it almost perfectly vertical in which case the bullet will tumble, drastically reducing it's terminal velocity.
