What makes people want to steal?

Are the jealous or something?

Why must math be hard?

There are many reasons. They're not the same for everyone who steals. It can be need (and lack of vision to think of an alternative), greed, jealousy, desire for vengeance, the thrill of the challenge, compulsion and several other reasons.

Syntax error.

Like everything, it has some complex aspects. It all depends on how deep you dig. I think the complexity of mathematics lies in the fact that not everything that is true in any given consistent algebra can be proven with a finit set of axioms, so it's often hard to tell whether certain assertions hold or not. But some other aspects are easy to understand and apply, especially the ones we normally encounter in everyday life.

the "no answering questions in the form of another question" rule has sparked a few question, oddly enough:

what would happen if I made a non-answer statement in the form of a question?

what would happen if I asked a question in the form of a statement?

and on a random note:

can one simply burninate into morodor?

if trogdor met nessie, what would happen, and how far away would we have to be to be safe? (measure in lightyears, if necesary)

two cars, a red sedan and a blue muscle car, leave the same garage at the same time, traveling at 30 and 25, respectively. which one turned left?

if the question is meaningless but the answer is meaningfull, does that retroactively give the question meaning?

is it possible to have a three sided polyhedren composed entirely of trangles?

It still wouldn't be a proper question. Unless you managed to give it the content of a question rather than just the form.

It would be treated as a question, as long as it's clear enough. It's happened before.

No.

How can you be sure they haven't met yet? People keep saying that Nahuelito and Nessie are related, so they must have a secret way to travel very long distances, which means Trogdor may have made use of it as well... assuming they all exist.

Me.

Sometimes.

No.

Bloody hell, isn't there another compiler we could use?

Why is the news so depressing lately?

What is your favorite kind of chocolate?

Is it possible to buy holy water from anyplace?

Syntax error.

Can I blame Bill? :-)

[bill]

Would anyone mind if I wallowed in self-pity for a bit? 

[Valynth]

Is it true that women have a poster of me with the caption: "Avoid at all costs if single?"

Why do I find myself at the best possible position at the worst possible time?

How can improve that?

What would happen if we developed a computer the size of an atom?

Is that even theoretically possible?

[Castle Pokemetroid]

What is the name of the smallest thing?

What if there were things smaller, but we just didn't have the tech to see them?

How come I almost never go to the general discusion page?

Sure.

It just seems that way. With al the dark time in winter our body produces less serotonin. That is what makes you moody.
The one with marzipan in it.
Depends on which game you play at the moment.

I cannot stop you.

Feel free to - just not right here.

My sister hasn't got one - but then again she lives several thousand miles away from you.
Bad luck.
Try harder. If your chances are 1% it just means that you'll have to be more persistent to find this 1%.
We'd probably get filthy rich.
Right now we aren't able to shape atoms very well and as far as we know it consists of to few components to form something as complex as a computer... so my guess is: No.

The smalles things we know so far are called 'quarks'.
Well, there's always theory and observing how bigger objects react to something we cannot detect.
(Much the same way we can say that there are planets circling far away stars by how their light-intensity changes)
It bores you.

[KarlOmega1]

How come I'm the butt of everybody's joke? Is it because they can't see anything good enough behind my reasoning? And why do I feel like everything I do (including some of my better thing) gets shot down before it might be realized I might have something of worth?

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

Do you think Karl is expecting to not get shot down again, asking in here? :-)

[bill]

Why can't things be simple?

Why can't we have nice things anymore?

[Suwako]

Why can't things be more challenging (difficult)

Why can't we have bad things anymore

Why do teachers take me serious.

Why am I a bad influence?



Why can't a pay the Bill(Buckner?)

Well, you do call yourself omega. As everyone knows, the omega is the weakest part of the group. Hence the mocking you.

Do you think Karl is expecting to not get shot down again, asking in here? :-)

It's a valid hope - albeit a faint one.

Why can't things be simple?

Why can't we have nice things anymore?

Because they keep evolving and this often includes more details.
We do have them. You've just numbed yourself to the small pleasures of life.

Why can't things be more challenging (difficult)

Why can't we have bad things anymore

Why do teachers take me serious.

Why am I a bad influence?



Why can't a pay the Bill(Buckner?)

They are - all the time. We just learn and earn new skills to counter it.
We have just enough of those - trust me with this.
It's a good thing. Be proud of it.
Hadn't noticed yet.

Why does everyone like to troll people when they know its not funny?
Why do people worry the sun is the first thing to go when the world ends?
And why are people so stupid shove anything in their mouth and maybe eat it

Boredom - or dislike to certain people.
Dunno. I myself am pretty sure I won't be around when that happens anyway, so... Who cares - and he's the only one.
Curiosity. And rampaging moronism.

[KarlOmega1]

Why is Ink not doing art anymore? Does he fear someone will envy his art skills?

[e_voyager]

why do i get the felling that more control only leads to more conflict?
when do twink powers fail?
is having  nigh infinite lives a twink power?
have you ever played Ecco the dolphin?
what roll do i need to make the saving throw for common sense?

[Tiger_T]

RL-interference.
He fears nothing! I'm sure he enjoys others envying him.

when do twink powers fail?
is having  nigh infinite lives a twink power?
have you ever played Ecco the dolphin?
what roll do i need to make the saving throw for common sense?

Because others will feel oppressed by your control.
When the GM says so.
Depends on the scenario.
No.
Twenty or more.

[llearch n'n'daCorna]

what tune can you play on Ecco?

[Suwako]

Killing in the name of; who?
Pi = 3.14?

[Drake Manaweilder]

How do you kill that which is undying?
How is pi infinate, if it is less than 4?
If you possessed magic in real life, what element would you have control over?

[Roureem Egas]

what tune can you play on Ecco?

Chopsticks.  

Killing in the name of; who?
Pi = 3.14?

Bill.  

Well, that is what most people usually leave it at.

How do you kill that which is undying?
How is pi infinate, if it is less than 4?
If you possessed magic in real life, what element would you have control over?

You don't. You reject it entirely and erase it.  

I'm guessing someone made an error in interpretation somewhere along the line.

Illusion or Redirection, because meddling can be fun.   Who said I had to pick something conventional?

what is the surface temperature of the sun?

what is the name of the guy on that movie with that thing and where he is trapped in a phonebooth of all things?

If a cow has three legs it is a tri-ped, if a cow has two legs it is a bi-ped, what do you call a cow with no legs?

If a tree falls in  a forest in New England and no one is around except a man named bob  with an umbrella, how do you remove the seed pod of a cactus that has mysteriously latched itself to your leg?

Do you know where you were on the evening of February the 29th, 2005?

Can you identify the difference between a riddle and a joke?

If you answered yes to the previous question, what is the difference?

[superluser]

what is the surface temperature of the sun?

Does the sun actually have a surface?  Was I wrong to believe that there is no one ``the surface'' to the sun?

Oh, and what happened between September 3, 1752 and September 13, 1752 in England?

[TheGreyRonin]

If you're not a furry, don't want to be a furry, but like furries because they're mostly great people, what is the best way to fit in?

If Llearch reproduced, would his children be sentient boxes at birth, or would they start out as padded envelopes and grow from there?

[Cogidubnus]

Alright, I have to choose between Indian or Chinese black teas - which way should I go?

Is there any place that sells Japanese Shinken for less than $5000?

Why did they discontinue selling my favorite guarana-flavored beverage at the Net Lightning?

[Aridas]

This is a serious question which must be answered properly for ultimate awesomeness. Someone MUST know this!

What's the "official" name of those little kid-powered vehicles that you used to sit on as a kid, and when you swerved the handlebars left and right, it would move?

[Suwako]

Is humping Powercores with manta's frowned upon?

5800°C in average on the photosphere.

Stuart Shepard.

Extremely handicapped.

An elephant in a baggie.

Will Friedle. And yes, he has.

Many kinds. Charmander, Vulpix and Vaporeon are my favorites, in no particular order. I also like the Dratini family, Butterfree, Venomoth, Espeon and some others.

If that was even possible, yes, I would.

That evening never happened.

Yes.

A riddle has a hidden answer and the purpose of having the listener (or reader) try to figure out what the answer is. A joke has the purpose of being humorous. It is possible for something to be both: a riddle with a humorous answer.

what is the surface temperature of the sun?

Does the sun actually have a surface?  Was I wrong to believe that there is no one ``the surface'' to the sun?

Oh, and what happened between September 3, 1752 and September 13, 1752 in England?

If you consider the outer layer as the surface, it does.

10 days.

If Llearch reproduced, would his children be sentient boxes at birth, or would they start out as padded envelopes and grow from there?

Just be yourself. Being nice also helps.

He does have a son, actually. I've seen photos. He's cute.

What's the "official" name of those little kid-powered vehicles that you used to sit on as a kid, and when you swerved the handlebars left and right, it would move?

Can you draw one? I'm having trouble picturing such a vehicle. I don't think I've ever sat on something like that.

Alright, I have to choose between Indian or Chinese black teas - which way should I go?

Is there any place that sells Japanese Shinken for less than $5000?

Why did they discontinue selling my favorite guarana-flavored beverage at the Net Lightning?

It depends on the brand and your personal preference, but most Indian and Chinese teas are good. Whatever choice you make, odds are you'll like it.

Yes, here. (That's in Mexico, by the way, but the seller says they're shipped from England).

Probably not enough people were buying it. Same reason why they discontinued cottage cheese in Argentina.

Is humping Powercores with manta's frowned upon?

Yes. Manta rays are not supposed to have intercourses with powercores.

Ooh, there was this song I heard on the radio. It went "Duh duhh de dahh du dahh de dee daah du dah dahhhh", but I can't remember the title. What was it?
