  1. Am I allowed to complain if people call me Soggy Frog? Or Soggyfrog
  2. Heh heh, I've heard that joke before, but not in that format. Good stuff.
  3. CBC reported 44 000 dead this morning, and that number is still going to rise. I'm not sure exactly how this compares to other events, relatively it's not that huge a number, though that isn't accounting for how many more people may die from being cut off from supplies, how many more bodies will be found, the damage to infrastructure, and the aftermath of the event in the region. Perhaps a bit blunt in my saying it, for as Stalin said, a single death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic. The concept of a tsunami, however, really emphasizes the devastation of this event. It shows that we can still be humbled before what destruction the earth can create. You may not be using the right adjective, Tim, because I don't think this is one of the most horrible events in manhood, because what will happen is that people will come together to repair the loss. It is destructive, yes, but if the morals of men hold true, there is light in this. What is terrible is when men destroy one another.
  4. CodeOp was recruiting moderators, and PM'ed me @ Through The Ages. I didn't take up the position, or the opportunity to have the position, because I wanted to stay and grow into the community first.
  5. Consider yourself introduced, and welcome to the forums
  6. IPB, thought I wouldn't mind standard.
  7. Wallet for my dad, plus a gift card, and a set of Paganini CDs for my mom. Plus soap from my chemistry class for all!
  8. We don't have enough forum members, because this is 1445 different members
  9. I haven't made a post here in a while, though I haven't completely left. I scanned in some old pictures of my frogs. Seen here on the left is the Turkish team, the Canadian team on the right, and an older team without any nationality in the rear centre, and the Swiss team on the rear right. Strewn about are the Swiss Guards, folded in my friend's style. Swiss team in the rear left, and Swiss Guards strewn about as with the above photo. Norwegian team on the left, Swedish team in a line on the right, with some generic frogs behind. Behind those are the Australian frogs, and some particularly tiny frogs are behind those. Some more shots with all the frogs: I finally got to making a step-by-step instruction on the art of paper frog folding. Almost all of it came from memory, and a mere glance at a frog was enough to make me remember what I forgot. Strange, I haven't folded a frog in ages First, here are all the steps for making frogs. Don't worry, I'll tell you what they show. 1. Take a square piece of paper, and fold it in half. As you can see, dotted lines represent folds. 2. Fold diagonal creases on the top side of your newly created rectangle. 3. This is a tricky step to illustrate, and just as hard to explain. First, create a crease halfway across the top half of your rectangle. Now, bring in each end of that crease, using the diagonals from the last step, so that the ends of the crease touch the very centre of your rectangle. You should have a triangle on top of a square, as in step 4. 4. Create front legs for your frog by folding the tips of the triangle upwards. Don't rip the whole triangle, just the part that is above the main body. 5. Fold the bottom half of the square upwards. 6. Fold each side inwards, not folding the front legs, only the area of paper underneath them. 7. Fold the bottom half of the square upwards. 8. Even trickier part, even harder to illustrate. You'll have to use that brain, in coordination with my visual aid, to reach step 9. Fold the tips, that are touching the centre, outwards (a), making sure that you make diagonals ( as shown. For the love of frogs, please don't resort to ripping anything. 9. You have created the rear legs. Fold them downwards. 10. Fold them upwards again. This simply adds more depth and thickness to the legs, which is important in making the frogs jump. 11. It also looks nicer. 12. Flip frog over. 13. The lower crease goes in, the upper crease goes over. This is a particularly important part, but it takes practise to know the right way to do it. What this does is create the spring that allows your frog to jump. 14. You're done! If your frog in no way resembles this, re-read instructions, then post about how my instructions make absolutely no sense. Pictures of a British team, which will soon be in the works, and potentially an Icelandic team, will be coming in the near future.
  10. I'm good with logic, but I've never actually made an attempt at solving a rubik's cube, I don't think. And yeah, congratulations
  11. It was awesome. It's amazing how word spreads on the internet.
  12. I imagine with these sorts of issues, there's the admin log (or something of the nature) to review. Besides, we are a mature community that won't resort to such abuses, right?
  13. I've been to the U.S. a couple times, when I was younger, so it wasn't sufficient to learn about fahrenheit. Anyways, we travel around Canada a lot more, which, with all the trouble caused by 9/11, is far easier. I suppose it is a simple calculation that one can easily commit to memory, but my point is, the celsius (as it works with kelvin) and the metric system must be adopted, so why try restrain its advance by advocating fahrenheit? It's not a big deal, I just thought it would be a good idea to further justify my complaint.
  14. 50 - 70... But why did you have to go with farenheit, it's so inconvenient for us folks outside of the U.S.
  15. Fedex. My dad owns a Mail Boxes Etc., and he said Fedex. UPS has screwed up a number of times, so...
  16. If I may, I give you my greetings, and welcome to WFG. Enjoy your stay, and may it be long and prosperous!
