Has anybody seen Avenue Q and if so is it funny?

I love it. You can find all the songs on Youtube, especially of course the famous "The Internet is for Porn". Give it a try there. If you want to keep them a surprise, there are also interviews with the puppet cast that will give you a taste of the humor.
 
Soup guys.

My little brother just started high school and I don't want him to be a loser. How can I get him to stop playing Runescape?

Make a new account and do something so evil you get banned. Make another account and do it again. Keep doing this until they have no choice but to ip ban you.

It really depends which school he's in, there are some that don't care if you play Runescape and then there are some that will beat you in an alleyway because you play it.
 
Buy him Guild Wars?

In all seriousness you must provide a suitable substitute, or he'll surely just return to it some other way.
 
Do we really need another one of these threads?

By the way though, you did well to steal this off abaddon.

Really? I've not "chased" this thread for a good while now..
 
Swings and roundabouts.
 
Aren't some museums free? Also, even walking around in London can be good.
 
OK, a real question - is it true that a woman in stilleto heels exerts as much pressure on the floor as an elephant?
Let's see.

Let's say a woman - Jane - weighs 180 pounds (she's been hitting the ice cream a lot). Her stiletto heels each touch the ground in two places, for a total of four. Let's say the front part is 3 inches by 2 inches, and stiletto is half a square inch (we're estimating here). That's a total of 6.5 square inches a foot, or 13 inches square touching the ground. That's an average of 13.84 pounds per square inch of pressure.

Now for the elephant, Janette. We'll try and cut this as close as possible, and say that she's an Asian elephant, which according to Wiki, weigh between 6,500–11,000 pounds. Let's say 6500 pounds is accurate, again, to make this as close as possible (I'm rigging the results as much as I can, because it'd be too easy if we chose a giant bull African elephant ;)) An Asian elephants foot is pretty big, and for the sake of argument, let's say it's perfectly circular, and roughly 1 foot across. That gives us a radius of six inches, and an area of 113.09 inches per foot. And an elephant has 4 feet, so that's a total of 452.38 inches. That comes out to 14.36 pounds per square inch.

Which is actually pretty close. But again, we kind of rigged the results - we chose a light elephant, and a heavy woman. If the woman weighed 120 pounds, the average would be something like 9.23 lbs/foot. And if the elephant was a bit bigger (even for an Asian elephant, still) at around 10000 lbs, the average would be something like 22.10 pounds per inch, over twice as much. (Although I suppose we could compensate by saying the bigger elephant has a bigger foot...giving him an extra inch around the foot, that'd still be 18.84 pounds per square inch)

In short: it's plausible, but you kind of have to cheat a little with the numbers to make it work. (Or feed all the elephant's food to the woman, to decrease his weight and increase hers ;))

Hopefully I didn't just make a fool out of myself by messing up basic algebra....

Thanks for the advice guys, I have a follow up question. I have discovered than he now goes on /b/ (and Runescape). How can I keep him from being a huge loser? I went to my parents' house and saw him and he was recycling lame memes like a total newfag.
 
Beat him. Day in. Day out. Beat him to punish him. Beat him when he does something wrong. Beat him when he does nothing wrong. Beat him to let him know you hate him. Beat him to show how much you love him.

So endeth the lesson.
 
In task manager, it shows that the processes my computer is running takes up about 50-60 percent of my CPU but it says that 70-100 percent of my CPU is being used up.

What's using up the difference?
