[slalomdms]

[MaidMirawyn]

Oh, I love three word story threads. They can be sooo fun. And odd. Definitely odd.

Notice how I totally ignore the sports talk. La la la....

 

[vibrokatana]

dual smite is fun and challenging

 

[MaidMirawyn]

Does that mean I can smite two guildees at once? Hmmm...who can I pick on?

I think Mike gets spot one, for sure.

 

[techwhosaysnee]

What???? ME???

But I'm the innocent one. Get Andrew. He has sausage on his nose!

I feel that since Tobias wasn't discussed throughly we should ignore the fact that he wasn't my uncle and that he still isn't my uncle.

 

[MaidMirawyn]

So, he wasn't your uncle, and he still isn't your uncle? That's a good thing. I think it is worthy of celebration.

Especially if it's three am, and you've been booted from Guild Wars for an hour and a half...

 

[A Servant]

I wasn't booted. I was error 7ed right out. Now andrew was booted. And Tobias well he wasn't playing, I think!

 

[one2dredd]

lol there is a topic!!

 

[MaidMirawyn]

I was in Dredd's party. We were booted at the same time. It's a sad, sad thing.

I found a logic training tool that is weird. It gives you a random argument, and you must find its flaw.

I just thought the argument was funny...

No nurses are lizards.
No nurses are cafes.
Thus,
Some cafes are not lizards.

Some flowers are not oysters.
Some flowers are explorers.
Thus,
Some explorers are oysters.

I like random silliness. The sad part is, though, I've seen this logic used on websites...

No nurses are lizards.
No nurses are cafes.
Thus,
All cafes are not lizards. <----here was the flaw

Some flowers are not oysters.<---- All flowers are not oysters.
Some flowers are explorers. <---A flower can't be an explorer
Thus,
Some explorers are oysters.<--------This is just silly.

That stuff just confuses me....

What are you supposed to do with the statements.

Is a perfectly sound and logical argument.

Anyone have a peanut.

Quit that now, I mean it.

Brill super montem

In ancient times, a town on the Island that would one day become England was named by its inhabitants “Breg”. In the ancient Brythonic language, the word “Breg” means “Hill”.

Later, Saxon invaders probably conquered the town. One way or another, it came to be inhabited by Anglo Saxons. These new tenants probably did not know what “Breg” meant. So they decided to call the town “Breghyll”, which in their language meant “Breg Hill”. This name was eventually shortened to “Brill”.

Later, some writer decided to point out that Brill was located on a hill. So he referred to it as “Brill-super-montem”.

Which, when fully translated, means “Hill Hill on the Hill”.
