The many questions-not-worth-their-own-thread question thread XVII

[Tee Kay]

When is Pakistans next election?

Does it look like different parties will be elected?

2013

The Muslim Leagues might have a chance in the next election. Also, Musharraf might be coming back. No other parties are strong enough at the moment though.

I thought his sense of humor seemed familiar . Is he providing your material ?

No, that's Stratego's job.

Disaster!!!

My neighbors horses are running around in my yard and into an adjacent field and he won't answer the phone! These are not ponies, they weigh a tonne. What should I do?

Animal Control? Sweden does have it, right? If not, rent a bunch of Cowboy movies, and learn how to use a lasso.

Shot them and then eat them with hot sauce and noddles.

And then get a lawyer for lawsuits that will come flooding in when the PETA and the neighbors decide that wasn't the greatest thing to do.

It was an embarrassing episode since it was my dad who accidentally opened the gate. I guess we could have called someone but I was hoping for it to work itself out. We tried catching them but they went bezerk and attacked and ran around and around. Eventually it went back to the gate when my dog got mad and chased the dogs into the forrest. Then we started blocking roads and lured them with sugar and eventually got them back.

Horses are scary.

What is the correct procedure for doing this. I assume a pro would have done it much more smoothly.

I have no experience with horses, but I guess that above all things, you want to try to remain calm, because otherwise, the horses would be more easily startled. I think sugar would work. Now this may be just a stupid idea of mine, but I figure that if you held sugar in one hand, and a rope or something like that in the other, and coaxed the horse to come for the sugar, you could slip the rope over the horses' heads and slowly lead them back towards the gate.

Sorry to make an example out of you, but you see the first six words? Since this a questions and answers thread, I suppose that you shouldn't post unless you know what your talking about, and thus, you should stop after those six words.

Lets maintain some integrity here, guys.

Well, I figured having watched people handle horses (No, not on TV or the internet; IRL) would mean something. Oh well.

Now, for my own questions:
Question #1: What does OOC mean? Does it mean "out of context"? "Out of control"? "Old Oak Common"? "Original Omnibus Company"?

Question #2: Is it usual for cats to go wild over a pair of slippers? (i.e. Rushing over to lay on them, grabbing them and kicking them with hind legs, etc.)

Random survey question. First read this:



Question - where is the actual mother: in the cupboard or outside?

Offer to cut the child in half, the one who gives the child away, is the real mother. (not my own idea) - just heard it somewhere.

I wish I had as sharp a mind as you.

1) "Out of Context" "Out of Character"

2) Quite

I was looking for articles and I found what appears to be a student magazine. It had a rather weird article about the war on Christmas including this paragraph:

Remember that Christmas was originally solely a Christian holiday. Therefore nobody
has any right to secularize and change a holiday that was adopted besides the original founders of
it. Because of this, only one person has the sole power to truly change something about the
celebration of Christmas, and that’s the Pope.

WHAT?!?!?!?! The Pope is the "original founders" of Christmas?!?!! I'm confused.

 

[Disgustipated]

Only Jesus Christ himself can dictate how we celebrate christmas. It's up to him to come back from the dead and tell us.

 

[Traitorfish]

You keep your midwinter deities, thank you, and I'll keep mine.

Yeah, the Pope (I forgot which one) was big on making Christmas during a Pagan holiday to offset Pagan celebrations.

That was written by an idiot. Ignore it.

I keep him chained up in my basement. You can't have him.

So you finally let him go??

Anybody know what average processor, RAM, and video card specs would be able to run current games on medium settings?

A new one?

New computers are average. They usually go for a sale. If they don't do the job, wait a year and then buy that years "new" one.

Whatever you do, do not buy the current "top of the line". They will not be as "fast" as the "average" one next year.
