Dude your an idiot.

I got into an argument with my friend the other day. He claims that parrots live somewhere between 250 - 300 years. And his logic for that argument is when people say that "if you buy a parrot it might outlive you". He also thinks that bears are the closest living relatives to humans.... yeah.

 

[Standby]

Snip.

I'm not sure if Harmonix are still doing this, but my housemate broke his pedal twice and both times he got a free replacement sent to him (as the original RB1 pedals were quite prone to breaking), still though, if your friend plays the way you described he isn't giving it much of a fighting chance.

Well there was this one conversation with bodyklok in which I acted quite stupid. I believe the thread was "What will you do when you graduate" or something like that.

 

[la-le-lu-li-lo]

my favorite was in some AP class.
some dumb girl raises her hand 'uhh, i read a book once.'

... that was her statement.

:sigh:

 

[la-le-lu-li-lo]

WHO GIVES 2 S%%TS!?!??!?!

those of us who value our education.
though i will say his explanation was a biiiit overboard.
i did better.

"In this state it is often called an amorphous solid or glass."

for me, the operative word there is solid, although I can see the difference between glass and a regular solid, but I think we've derailed this thread enough, I'll concede that you definitely have a point.

Ow.
How much time did you spend trying to convince him otherwise?

"I don't believe in the concept of a hot drink."
Not a clue.

Well that can be an overtly smartass comment if taken into context.
Physics dictate that nothing is actually hot, things just get less and less cold.

To the contrary, warmth is defined by the motion of atoms and molecules. Less movement, the less 'hot' it is. So nothing is actually cold, it's just less/not warm.

This is how I understood it...

i'm fairly certain you're the first one who got it right. :]

Why, thank you o.o...

And you get a cookie.

On topic though,I was once told this.

Dude,you're arabian right.
yeah.............
So,you're like from China aren't you
............yes I am
Dude,that's cool

 

[la-le-lu-li-lo]

Why, thank you o.o...

no problem!!
i always appreciate those with some sense.

About 2-3 mins. He's one of those people that no matter how convincing of an argument backed up with rational reasoning, he is still right and you are wrong. He also thinks increasing the volume of hs voice makes him more right. Good guy though.

Funniest I remember is a girl once arugued there is 54 states of america one being canada the other being puerto rico. I also convinced her I won an olympic gold medal in 1984. I then explained that this was impossible due to no time travel. she said then how did you do it? I anwsered time machine. This was 7th grade and to this day she still thinks puerto rico is a state. We are Juniors now.

I'd say that Puerto Rico is essentially a state, but missing the legal status. After all they're subject to U.S. jurisdiction and sovereignty, and its current powers are all delegated by the United States Congress. Plus Puerto Rico is represented in the United States Congress by a nonvoting delegate.

I say we combine North & South Dakota into one big Dakota and fill the gap with Puerto Rico.

or we could grab 9 more small countries and have 60 states.

There are the two stupid sluts in my school. I am talking full out retarded here. This happened in a Geography class. I wasn't there. Oh, and we live in Canada.

"Taylor you're such a fucking idiot! You can't take a bus to Pakistan because Pakistan is an island!"

I didn't have classes with either of them, but my friend did and he has a lot more where that came from but I can't remember.

Blood traveling back to the heart is blue.
I am not fucking with you. I had to debate with them for almost an hour. Their reasoning? Veins are blue. Blood is blue because it has become de-oxidized. I was the only one in my group of around 10 people who are all B or A students to say this was total bullshit.

Actually haemoglobin is purple when it is de-oxygenised (some say blue-red). Veins though are blue because of their coating. http://www.ebi.ac.uk/interpro/potm/2005_10/Page1.htm

I'm sorry to sound like a smug bastard, but after doing more research this is a more popular misconception than once thought, but de-oxidized blood is dark red. there is a disease where some of your blood can be blue (Sulfhemoglobinemia) but a normal, healthy person won't have blue blood (Assuming they are a human) Veins are blue because of the poor reflection of light by skin and blood.

 

[Birras]

One of my firends doesn't really say anything stupid but he sure does stupid things like pawning about $700 worth of games and xbox equipment for about $140. And then another aquaintance thought that you could drive from Seattle to Montana in about an hour and that you could drive to Japan.

You, in fact, can drive to Japan. All you need is one o' them newfangled flyin' machines that one the Civil War for the Confederacy! Just make sure the solar-powered wind turbines don't run out of propane.

actually im sure its the other way round "cold is a lack of heat" since its the heat that is energy so you measure the energy not the lack of energy like with light we dont say that light is the lack of dark we say dark is the lack of light

On the most basic level it's just however fast the atoms are vibrating.

At a 5 hour driving course, when the instructor got to seatbelts, one Hispanic man raised his hand and said with a straight face, "They don't save lives."

Instructor: "Yes, that's what they're made to do."
Man #1: "No, they don't. One of my buddies died because of them."
Instructor: "How so?"
Man #1: "Well, he was drag racing, going about a buck-twenty, buck-thirty..."
Instructor: "Buck?"
Man #1: "Yea, buck. As I was saying, he was doing 120-130 mph when he crashed into a wall."
Instructor: "Was he wearing his seatbelt?"
Man #1: "Yea, he was, man. They're supposed to, like, save lives, but they don't."
Instructor: "....I don't think a seatbelt would have made a difference in that situation..."

Tell me that that doesn't look purple, mind you I'm beginning to think this is a purely aesthetic quibble. Unless either of us can be bothered to take this pic to an interior designer and ask them it could go either way (and I'm sure that they call everything beige)
