Black Knight

That was funny, I'm a native speaker and I gave up about halfway through. I've never even seen some of those words.

Man are you lucky! My world civ teacher was an idiot. They made it a freshman class so they stick all the basketball coaches as teachers and they royal screw it up. We used a crappy textbook from about ten years ago that showed a map with the USSR on it!

Anyone here ever read Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert Heinlein? That is a very interessting book.

I'm a Catholic, though I think being Eastern Orthodox would be pretty cool.

I'm reading (for about the fourth time) the best book since LotR: A Canticle for Liebowitz by (frank?) Miller. It's about thses monks that preserve humanities knowledge after a nuclear war. Basically it's like the Middle Ages with mutants only better.

One of my friends (who is in Calculus), sits around and thinks up math problems. He gave this to his calculus teacher and she couldn't solve it so she gave it to our Pre-Cal teacher and she couldn't solve it either. So she gave it to us! (as if we could solve it!) Anyway he said my answer was right (1/4), but refused to show me the work.

My Pre-Calculus teacher gave us the following problem as a challenge: x^2x=2x the ^ is raised to the power of (just in case you didn't know) I found that 1/4 was the answer through guess and check but I don't know how to work it! I'm sure it's all just algebra, but I haven't got a clue. Any help would be appriciated. Thanks

Danke

I have a 3.55. Its odd because I get A's in challenging classes but in easy classes like Vocational Studies (a life skills class) I get B's. The only C I've every gotten was in AP Chemistry. We went though all of Siberberg's Chemistry in half a year! My school is on the block schedualling system so our cllas are 1/2 half an hour each.

You have to unstand a bit about computers and their history to find it funny. I had my mom read it and she didn't find it fuuny either. No offense ment by any of this

Yeah, It's a joke. Read the other article "satarizing a technical audience" or something like that.

Hier ist eine Papier für meine Deutsche Fach: How did I do? Can you please point out mistakes?

I was being informal, which I felt was more fitting of this forum.

Fire Giant, Can you give me some examples of your dialect versus Hochdeutsch. I was reading a book and the one charachter was speaking Schwäbnisch and it was nothing like what I've learned.

Ja, Adam. Ich kenne den französisch Lerher und er ist blöd und hat viele Haare. Als ein Affe hat! Our German books have these interviews with "native speakers" and the example had the person being interviewed saying " Also, ich..." I bet you find this as funny as I find the "Learn to Speak English" programs on the Spanish channel.

Um meine Schule haben wir Deutsch, Französisch und Spanisch. Ich habe das Französisch ist blöd gedenkt. Und ich mag Spanisch nicht. Also, ich habe Deutsch genommen. P.S. Please correct my german. It's not very good.

Can anyone here speak German? Either fluently or taking it as a class? Post here in german if you wish. Ich kann nur ein bisschen Deutsch sprechen. I habe Deutsche Zwei.

What's twee?

No offence but, to my ears (and I'm sure to other americans) british english sounds effemanate or womanly. I'm really not sure why but it does. Maybe because your "r"s are so soft. So how does american english sound to britsh ears? Just wanted to ask.

Hands down, Rats, yes rats are the ultimate pet.

Hey, how come TLA has cool smileis with a LotR theme ( :gandalf: ) but you guys don't. I personally want to see some germanic warrior smilies

I'd pick Orcrist But seriously I'd pick the Roman Gladius. Come on this weapon conquered and maintained the roman empire.

First of only one billion dollars is new to the nasa budget. The rest is just being redistibuted in the program. Secondly, has any one read Mining the Sky? It is about how much money we could make if we would only commercialize space. The asteroid belt is litteraly a gold mine. Also a private company can a pay load in space for almost half the amount of NASA.
