[Borachio]

Top five reasons to be cheerful.

1. Something nice to study,
2. phoning up a buddy
3. Being in my nuddy
4. Saying hokey-dokey, Sing Along With Smokey
5. Coming out of chokey

Or so nuncle Ian told me.

Nothing quite as cozy as laying in bed at night thinking about the eternal abyss.

 

[Birdjaguar]

That's one hypothesis out of many others.
BTW, similar holes have been found as far away as Ireland.
None have any debris, or other signs they were used for long periods of time.
Hiding valuables would have, you'd think, left some dropped items, or drag marks, or other signs.

What are the other explanations?

Top Six:

1. Pacific
2. Atlantic
3. Indian
4. Arctic
5. Borealis
6. Procellarum

Nothing quite as cozy as laying in bed at night thinking about the eternal abyss.

I've done that a couple of times... once when I'd been reading a collection of Asimov's essays and there was one about the Moon and how we're really lucky to be living in a time when the Moon is the right distance from Earth to allow for total solar eclipses and we have the knowledge and technology to understand what it is and to study it. He then explained that since the Moon is receding from Earth, there will come a time when we will no longer have total solar eclipses. As the essay progressed I got more and more depressed (rhyme not intended, sorry).

6. Procellarum

Rules violation!

 

[Lohrenswald]

Given that there were independent Scottish kings before William Wallace, that seems unlikely.

kings=/=parliament

 

[Arakhor]

Indeed, but I fail to see how Wallace's rebellion would encourage a parliamentary system in Scotland if there wasn't already one in place beforehand.

You thought you could get away with it didn't you? You thought we weren't paying attention?! You think you can just do whatever you want whenever you want?? You think we aren't watching your every move?!? ANSWER ME!!!

Rules violation!

Time to bring out the big guns... Enjoy:

I should see if I can find that movie somewhere. Monty Python isn't usually my kind of humor, but this is hilarious.

 

[Hygro]

Listen to this song Valka. Please, you don't have to listen to the whole thing, just listen to like 25 seconds of it.

Does it sound like a car alarm to you?

The thing most deeper fans of rap don't understand: a Tribe Called Quest is some of the least musicallly accessible in the genre.

Is it spelled with an "h" in greek?

I suppose it comes from Theresias (as in the blind, multi-gendered prophet), then? I actually didn't make the connection, and in greek it returned from the latin and is now "Tereza", which doesn't sound greek as it is

θ -> th is extremely common in transliterations from Greek to Latin alphabets. It particularly makes sense considering theta probably represented /tʰ/ in Ancient Greek. Just as φ represented /pʰ/ and χ represented /kʰ/

Exactly... If you're trying to impress Ms. Valka with the musical value of Hip Hop I would go with something more like this:

Not saying its gonna work... but I get Hyg's point...

 

[sophie]

I would think Kendrick or Kanye would be better introductions. Their beats, in particularl Kanye's are much more conventionally musical in style.

Rules are made to be broken. But were they broken? Or did your eagerness to deploy the Holy Hand Grenade blind you to the truth? I posted a purported list of the top six oceans, but was it actually such a list? Six names were listed, Certainly the first for were. But the last two names are not the same. They are not even wet and are oceanus in name only. Are they actually oceans? If I call a dog a cat is it a cat? My post was a list of four oceans and two non oceans. Any reasonable person would know that it was two lists that I had numbered improperly: a list of four wet oceans and a list of two dry, areas someone has mislabeled as oceans. Clearly no rules violation. You, good sir, were led astray by a numbering system that was unrelated to the actual content of the two lists presented. You are FAKE NEWS! I demand an apology and a retraction of the Holy Hand Grenade.

Top Six Cats:
1. Siamese
2. Maine Coon
3. Domestic Tabby
4. Korat
5. Cocker Spaniel
6. Irish Setter

Clearly that is not a list of cat breeds. It is a string of 10 words associated with six numbers.

To quote OP, (paraphrasing the Book of Armaments chapter 2, versus 9-21):

A thread for your "Top 5 __________." Five is the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be five. Six shalt thou not count, neither shall thou count four, excepting that thou then proceed to five.

Clearly then a rules violation was committed, by the plain language of the OP, and there shall be no retraction, but instead there shall be an additional Holy Hand Grenade for this latest additional counting of Six...

Oh Lord bless this thy Holy Hand Grenade...

One!

Two!!

FIVE!!!

No, THREE!!!

I was talking about a literal car alarm.

As for this video, I concede that it contains music. But to my ears, it's not anything I would consider good music. The voices grate on my nerves.

Consider the flip side of this. Everything I've just said, I've heard other people say about some of the music I like, such as musical theatre. They can't understand how I can love something like "Fiddler On the Roof" or a rock opera like "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" or a Yanni concert.

Even cats have opinions about music. My first cat, Cassandra, had the same opinion of the soundtrack to Oliver! that my grandfather had. Both of them hated it, probably because it was loud, brassy, and Jack Wild (he played the Artful Dodger) was an enthusiastic singer, but not a good one. So she wasn't into musical theatre. But when I put on a record of Strauss waltzes, she settled down and listened to it.
