Random Raves XV: Like Skipping Through A Field of Flowers

[Arakhor]

That's seriously impressive, Dachs.

The longest chain of the same regnal names I know about is James I to James VI!

Nitpick: Mary, Queen of Scots, intervened between James V and James VI.

 

[Huayna Capac357]

So is reciting the alphabet backwards, but it doesn't stop some people.

It's useful if you're pulled over

I have a similarly useless skill, except I can do Roman Emperors.

From 27 BC to 1453 AD, plus some vague comments about silly people like Andreas Palaiologos. Still haven't got the pre-Golden Bull Holy Roman Emperors down, though.

Sir, you are a true mental giant

EDIT: Keeping it legal: thanks to the miracle of modern medicine, my throat hurts less and my fever's gone.

 

[Shekwan]

No clue.. I didn't even study it.. Just a good memory I guess.

But their names aren't even that memorable compared to the English kings that I can all remember since Edward the Confessor!

Well its the equivalent isn't it. Americans name Presidents and the English name Kings.

I can't name all the Taoisigh in order and theres only been like eight or something. The shame.

That's a pretty useless skill...

No its not. If he's doing it for AP I assume it will advance his chances of getting into a good University.

Sir, you are a true mental giant

This amuses me because it means that Dachs is a crazy big person in British English. Ya mental giant!

 

[W|M]

Well its the equivalent isn't it. Americans name Presidents and the English name Kings.

There have been more English kings than American Presidents, plus I can name half the US Presidents, all the Brazilian Emperors and all the leaders of the USSR!

Nitpick: Mary, Queen of Scots, intervened between James V and James VI.

Damn her!

Damn her!

USSR Is easy they only had 8 leaders

 

[Arakhor]

Lists of names aren't too unusual. I can name most of the planar layers from the Planescape AD&D setting.

 

[Takhisis]

Well I can name all of the Argentine champions from 1961 onwards and many of thir runners-up if it helps

(I can name all the Scottish champions for the past 25 years but it's easy since it's only two teams )

 

[Dachs]

Sir, you are a true mental giant

Other than stuff like that, my memorization is really pretty crappy.

This amuses me because it means that Dachs is a crazy big person in British English. Ya mental giant!

Well, I am 6'5" :3

 

[ZeletDude]

First baseball game tomorrow against some small classic hick town Idaho, fun.

 

[madviking]

Frands got accepted into Cal Tech and MIT.

 

[Tee Kay]

No its not. If he's doing it for AP I assume it will advance his chances of getting into a good University.

Well in that case the course sucks.

I can name all the winners, runners-up and hosts of FIFA World Cups, as well as the round Brazil got to in all of them.

A completely and utterly useless skill.

 

[Yared]

Don't you just love checking out the lyrics for a Folk Metal song you like and seeing that it is in Swedish, despite the fact that the band isn't from Sweden?

 

[Takhisis]

Hmmm… Klamydia?

 

[ZeletDude]

Well in that case the course sucks.

Uh.. How does AP suck please tell me? It helps with college, and extra credits and other stuff, plus it's very interesting

 

[GenMarshall]

Avatars and attachments are working again in CFC!!!

 

[Takhisis]

An aimee's back!

 

[Narz]

My daughter was in a really happy mood tonight.

 

[Camikaze]

Uh.. How does AP suck please tell me?

The point being, if being able to recite the presidents in order is a useful skill for this course, then the course must suck.
