This his how it's done, wim:

Nope, Temujin is a magical wizard who merely pointed to areas on the map and they fell under the control of the Mongol Empire. Tragedy struck when he broke his finger though. That's the only reason the Mongols didn't usurp all of Christendom.

Thanks guys, I appreciate it, truly!

This thread is asking for some serious Julia Gillard spam. Unfortunately im not on my pc right now, so it won't be from me.

From the ''Moving Forward'' thread.

So where is this haiku thread?

I LOVE haikus. I dream in haikus.

Well, okay, I don't. but I could

 

[Birdjaguar]

There have been several haiku threads in OT in the past.

How many decades ago?

People are still waiting for that contest they wanted us to have... and which challenge you accepted.

It's dark, wet and miserable outdoors and that's during the day!

-Arakhor, when describing typical English weather.

To be fair, it is winter.

 

[Chukchi Husky]

I don't know, it's the same in the summer, except for the day when the sun comes out everyone complains about it being too hot and that there will be a drought.

Tak comparing Spain with England:

...and when they cook it doesn't imply a sliding scale of curry vs. unpalatable blandness.

EDIT:

I am amazed that NickyJ posted on the same page as a penis.

From the Orwellian America thread:

If we attached Orwell's corpse to an electricity-generating turbine, which of the following prefixes do we need to use: kilo-, mega-, giga-, tera-, peta-, or higher?

That Canadian stereotype is true! Everyone in Canada was so nice when I visited there that is was a little bit scary. The only rude person was someone who cut in line in front of me at McDonald's in Timmons and I'm pretty sure he said something in French.

(seriously, somebody in Timmons spoke French?)
