While We Wait: Part 5

[Ninja Dude]

Personally, I prefer it when Lucky posts his Dwarf screens on the NESing forum.

Oh, who do you guys think was the greatest Islamic Empire Ruler?

Eh. I don't know about that. Lucky's dwarf fortresses here seemed to die quickly. Maybe it's bad luck or something. Then again, our luck gave us the name "Anusbeasts" for our fortress name...

Also, you see to like changing to a completely unrelated subject really quickly.

Anyways, I can't answer your question because I know nothing of the subject.

Yes, I totally specialize in seemingly random topics.

Fine, name the greatest and most economically prosperous ancient empire.

The dude who was your avatar was pretty good. Harun al-Rashid was pro. Suleiman the Magnificent...and probably al-Mansur ibn Abi Aamir.

EDIT: As to your second question, I submit that that question is too broadly defined.

Once again, I don't know too much about economic stuff, but I'd say the Roman Empire due to the fact that they were pretty much the best ancient empire ever. Although my definition of ancient is bascially anything before the Middle ages, so someone better educated in history could probably prove me wrong and give you a better answer.

What, was my response TOO AWESOME?

Also, that topic wasn't nearly random enough. How's this: discuss the Battle of Panion. Go.

Doctor Wik I. Pedia has no idea what you are talking about, so it must not have been important.

I'd prefer The Battle of Manzikert or The Battle of Calais.

The Battle of Shafalus. WHAT!!! My nickname from Shakespeare has turned into a greek battle. Awesome.

Which raises the question: Is a person who loves Wikipedia a Wikipediphile?

BTW, its Professor Wikipedia.

Or more importantly does this mean that you become a registered sex offender... I must admit I am guily of looking up 'vagina' from work just so I could see a picture of one, considering those porn websites are blocked by the IT dudes and my wife was at home with the kidlets.

I'm starting to wonder if all people are like this and I am the only, sane, un reproduction affiliated person on this planet!

Don't worry sheep, you're like a drop of water in the ocean compared to the sick bastards in my class!

 

[Thlayli]

I'd prefer The Battle of Manzikert or The Battle of Calais.

You can get plenty of that in Age of Kings (and the expansion).

 

[carmen510]

Remember the 'boner' example in class sp?

Especially when you asked the science teacher what it was.

Give ya a hint mate, when the hormones start kicking in, you will know that asexual reproduction is somewhat unnatural for humans.

Yeah, that's a good overview of the engagement. Wikipedia is too Latincentric and actually an overall terrible way to look at classical history, FYI.

I'd prefer The Battle of Manzikert or The Battle of Calais.

Manzikert: an altogether boring affair until twilight hit and betrayal allowed the slaughter of a relatively small portion of the imperial army. Not all that exciting. Calais: do you mean the Battle of Gravelines?

The Battle of Shafalus. WHAT!!! My nickname from Shakespeare has turned into a greek battle. Awesome.

Unless you are using a horrendously esoteric spelling, this battle does not exist. By the way, Midsummer Night's Dream was not nearly so good as, say, Henry IV, Part I or The Tempest, which were my two favorites.

Dude. Show some class. There are kids here.

That's where I got them from.

Shut up!

I think they have, but I have complete and utmost control over every aspect of my life. Except for grades.

EDIT: Amen, Dachs, Amen.

Ok, Carmen, how'd you spell that greek battle you were making fun of my name with?

 

[Thlayli]

That's where I got them from.

Yeah...I sort of figured.

Come on sheep, you don't want to transfer some plasmids every now and then?

 

[carmen510]

I think it was 'Operation Shafalus', but I was bullsh*tting you.

 

[sp1023]

Son of a ... Anyways, who here has a facebook!?

What're plasmids?
