The questions-not-worth-their-own-thread question thread XII

I'm pretty sure she's asking if it was possible the booming noise she heard was a plane crash. It's possible. Seems there's been a lot of crashes this year.

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

Or it crashing nearby??? I still hear the plane but I dont see it anymore....

 

[aimeeandbeatles]

Ok, Im not panicking anymore, but what I was asking is that suppose that the plane managed to land safely on a road or someplace flat (it seemed to be going downwards and the nearest airport is several miles away). Does it make a booming noise then, or only in a crash?

 

[Yared]

well, one is latin and one is english plural.

Tapezii is Latin?

 

[Dachs]

Trapezia is the actual plural of trapezium, at least in Latin.

If you guys want to buy two albums of the same artist, but only have enough money for one, how do you decide which one to buy?

Which two albums?

 

[Huayna Capac357]

Well...this is kinda a hypothetical. Also I want to know one's general process, for future reference.

I choose the rarer one, the one I have less songs off of, or the one that's considered better. But why buy albums anymore, it's past the 90's man?!?!?!?

Random selection. Then ask for the other one for Christmas (or a birthday, whichever is sooner). Or, shop around and find a better price. Or, sell some old albums (assuming they're actually on a disc), keeping the digital copies, of course, to raise funds to buy both new albums.

This. And I think he meant albums off of iTunes or something.

and trapezii the latin plural of trapezius. unless it's that weird declination.

Thanks, to both of you.

I was playing Pirates! today and heard this song. I know I've heard it before elsewhere, but I can't place it! Help me out!


Link to video.

EDT is three hours ahead of PST. If someone on the east coast were to take a two hour flight to LA, woudn't they technically be GOING BACK IN TIME?!!?!

 

[spryllino]

Cheezy, it's in Civ3 too.

Concord flights used to arrive before they left - something like take off at 10 am local time in London arrive at 8 am local time in New York.

Technically, no.

I currently have no video games and have nothing to do. Can someone recomend me one? I only play games on the Wii or on the computer. I don't really care if the game is an oldie or not.

 

[ParadigmShifter]

I'm gonna get Super Mario Galaxy 2 soon.

I also picked up Morrowind pretty cheap from Steam that would keep you busy for a long time.
