Why don't you calculate what 10 percent growth of 58 million dollars over 20 or 40 years is. It's way more than double.

If she takes it over time it doesn't grow -- it's just roughly double the...

If alternative fuel systems were economically viable, their use would be more widespread. A fully-electric car costs something like $30,000 and even that comes with all kinds of tax credits and...

If you don't take it in a lump sum the lottery pays it out over time, 20, sometimes 40 years. The lottery depends on the time-value of money to come up with the whole amount won. If you take the...

Do you walk or bicycle everywhere? Do you realize how many people heat their houses with oil? How do you think most of your groceries got to the grocery store? Do you realize that the majority of...

Once for each new person coming here looking for information about Oddworld games is reasonable. How are they supposed to know unless they ask -- extensive research?

The least we can do is share...

Exclamation Conspiracy on the forums!

There was no 1,000th member! I distinctly remember amber being 995th, Khanzumer was 999th, and Mac the Janitor was 1,001st, but there is no member between Khanzumer and Mac. There are nefarious...

You said one of the reasons yourself. Most kids' parents object to their kids being taught swear words.

Another reason, and it's really extension of the one above, is that young children...

I thought the original Star Wars was the 3rd in the series, making the Return of the Jedi number 5. No? Was the original no. 4?

A couple of years ago when they re-released all three of those...

I find cursing most helpful to blow off steam in stressful situations.

Other times, it helps you be expressive. "Idiot!" doesn't quite say it as well as "F***ing idiot!"

Apart from that, it's...

I don't care. I just couldn't resist the opportunity to shoot you in the ass with an elephant tranquilizer gun.

And I don't smoke. Anymore.

I think that as long as members are "rewarded" by the number of posts -- the only available objective criterion -- there will be a tendency for some members to post for the sake of posting.

K. Jump into the sports car, drive off, turn around, quickly accelerate to 120 miles an hour and smash head on into the elephant.

Then, I'll climb out of the wreckage and elephant...

Re: Sensible members need a place of their own.

I'm all for a more consistently mature tone on the forums (I can't help it, I'm old and cranky), but unless you have readily ascertainable criteria for selecting members, and age is the only workable...

Anyone who would even notice the wallet has a disturbingly warped value system.

I think (or at least hope) that most people don't have a warped value system, so I think people that answer that...

Didn't you guys see that rift in the time-space continuum go by?

As far as this topic goes, maybe we could just append it to the On-Line Hike.

You also have to be a native-born citizen and 35 years old to be President of the United States. You have to be 18 years old to vote.

Even constitutional rights are not absolute and unqualified.

I haven't said a single thing about what one needs to do to become president.

I also wouldn't discourage anyone from running for elective office. However, if you're going to be successful at it,...

I also noticed the Rating Pending stamp in the lower left corner. Do they use those ratings outside the US? Also, MO has been rated Teen (T) in the US, so if they use the same ratings, it's wrong.

Of course he/she wouldn't. It would have no significance whatsoever unless we break out the noisemakers, streamers, cake, and ice cream and make a big deal out of it.

But it looks like you're all...

I didn't say it was right; I said you can't change it by "merely" becoming President of the United States.

We could all sign on at the same time and throw cyber-confetti.
