@Schnakenburg
But it's adorable!!!How can something so cute be that evil?

12 months ago #9642647            

@chaosgirl13 We didn't know either... Until it started to drink our beer!!!
There were general panic when someone started to argue that it might even go for our other alcoholic drinks!

@Schnakenburg This is not acceptable. I do not feel safe anymore. What is next, out sweet sweet candies!?

12 months ago #9643151            

@Schnakenburg How about we tempt it with cider and Ice wine. Then lock it in a cellar

11 months ago #9644652            

@Niren But that is where we keep the wine!!!
But points for effort!

@Schnakenburg .....how about a root cellar, then we use cement to seal him in, then cover it with a pile of dirt then put a park over that

Icelanders and Finns must mate.
It's just logical, really.

@DarkMage7280 The result would be equal amounts of scary, awesome and weird. It must be done.

@DarkMage7280 I don't think the world is ready for that yet.

12 months ago #9642597            

@Lord_Skata If you look at the world, you'll see it's more than ready.
It's practically begging for it.

@Ptarmigeon - It's not about burning books. It's about "buy it now or forever lose your chance to buy it". That's all it is. This is ENTIRELY a different thing than some political group "burning books" because they say something that disagrees with what they believe.

Besides, THEY published it. If they want to burn the paper and the ink of 40 books or so, it means nothing to the rest of us because it's something that THEY made in the first place. Publishers shred, burn, or otherwise dispose of un-wanted or un-needed copies of books all the time.

This particular case is a couple of guys who want you to pay attention to what it takes to publish a book. "Buy it tonight or buy it never", I guess. If you read the article, and/or pay attention the next time they make a "moon book", then I guess they will have achieved their goal of making you pay attention to what they are doing. ;)

Ah, they have to burn the books in order to feed the demon cats...it all makes sense now...

Do that with beer and the Belgians will invade and kill you. And they will be supported by the Czechs and the Bavarians.

I thought a fair warning is in order.

@Rogers
This little ghostie, not THAT terrifying as it sounds to you... we got STUDENTS of Mechanical Enginieering!!!

@Fragger911 the Chemical Engineers in here make an "eat yourself drunk" dinner each year though, it's really popular

Yes, the alcohol really is in the solid food, even though you're allowed to have a beer with it if you like.

9 months ago #9673470            

@Wortel - I would SO much enjoy attending a dinner event such as you describe. It sounds like a really fun time.

9 months ago #9673497            

@KOakaKO yeah I never was there, but I'm pretty sure it's a mazing as it sounds

@Rogers That's no problem for a beer defending army of Belgians, Bavarians and Czechs. They give it cheap amercian beer for distraction and go on.

Norway must find Spain terrifying. Here (in València) we do have a festival which we construct huge dolls and a monument and burn all in one night of explosions without end! It is called falles and always terrifies the tourists

What kind of monster burns THEIR OWN books? I mean, burning books is bad enough on its own, but it takes on a whole new perversity when it's your own book. It's like the difference between sacrificing some random child to a dark god and sacrificing your own son to said god.

@Pippin - I still say there should be a law saying that pineapples do not belong on a pizza. That's just an abomination that shouldn't exist in a civilized world. :P

@Pippin i am icelandic and i love pineapple on pizza.

Aww, look at Iceland's lunacy.

Oh, something I have learned recently, is that people living in the southern hemisphere see the moon upside down. (Anyone living in the southern hemisphere can confirm it by looking at humon's drawing). It's freaking hilarious, especially when people in the north learn that Orion the hunter is doing a one handed cartwheel in the south

@DarkLunar91
I will check this "alternitive Orion fact" personal next month from my point of view in New Zealand. [vacation incoming, at last]
And I warn you, woe you have put me down =) I will find you, princess

@Fragger911 I'd rather you not visit Australia just to hunt me (though if you do end up visiting for less violent reasons you are more than welcome), so for you and anyone else who doubts, proof

@DarkLunar91
Thank you for the invitation, maybe next year. HUNT was a bit harsh from me, meet and chill would be more precise.
In July, I will think of you when I have my stopover in Melbourne.

PS:
Thx for the video, I love the stars.

@DarkLunar91 - Thank you also from me. That video was interesting and informative. And now I'm interested in the rest of the videos from that channel.

Yup, in both senses of the word

@DarkLunar91 I'd love to see Orion doing a one-handed cartwheel* but it would freak me out seeing the moon's hare making Mochi** upside down

* My city is near the equator, but 10 degrees north
**Yes, that's the chinese-japanese myth of the hare-shaped silhouette on the moon, making tea (according to the chinese) or Mochi (acording to the japanese) No, I don't have any asian heritage whatsoever, I learned that watching anime XD
