Brain wave...

Post by k47a »

Heh, look at that:
Image

I had one of my philosophical moments (man, what else am I studying that crappy subject for?!) this morning.
Well, umm, to cut a long story short: Instead of drawing a plan for a map, you could do it 3d... :roll:
Okay, okay, it's maybe a somewhat silly idea, but still, didn't YOU like to build stuff with LEGO or whatever when you were lil kids? :D
Alright, I just wanted to let you all know about how great a genius I can be sometimes :P !!!
Btw, I'm not sure whether such a thread shouldn't be Off Topic...

lol, the little lightsabre guy has the advantage, in kendo (the primary inspiration for lightsabre fighting) they sometimes used shorter swords to be faster and defend themselves a lot better (you try blocking when your sabre is as tall as you are)

rofl... go Linux-worshippers.

ahem, to the topic.
Well, i cant do anything like that because me 3000+ lego set got auctioned off already :(

No, I didn't use LEGO for mapping yet... It just came to my mind this morning. And our pieces are somewhere in the attic: First, it's so damn small in there, you surely can't go in there when halfa your foot is amputated and hurts like hell :wink: and when you're mom doesn't want you to get 'em... (Why? Well, she already knows what will happen: I'll build something, use 'em pieces for, let's say three days, and then the whole package will cover the whole floor of my room (well, what's not filled already with books and comics and whatever) for months!! No way, she said, but maybe if I put on "bambi-eyes" she'll give up :D )

Umm, no it wasn't me who did those, err, sabre killers. :( But, hey, wanna check out my modelling stuff? 8-)

Btw, is 'tux' the Latin name for penguin?

No, tux is an abbreviation of tuxedo. A penguin looks like he's wearing one, and Linux's author, Linus Torvalds, likes penguins very much. ;)

Are just sure 'bout that, Rookie? 'cause we had a political university party who had a penguin as sig and in the name was something with tux, too...
Alright, you didn't ask for the pics but here they are anyway :P :

Yes, I am sure. It's just because its colour pattern resembles a tuxedo.

probably a rather new word, cause I'm quite sure the ancient Romans never saw a penguine, so why should they have had a name for it?!

But, anyway, what about new plants and stuff like this...? You gotta give 'em Latin names, too, right?! :roll:

Hah, yeah, that's pretty funny. New things get names in a dead language. :?
