    Did the bells in the Maritime Sailors' Cathedral ring twenty-nine times, or eight hundred and forty one times?

    I got talked into joining writing.com, and I have never been more confused in how
    crazy the whole thing is laid out and setup. And for some random reason or another
    a short I posted on there got 3.5 stars and I earned 110 points. Still no clue what
    the hell is going on there, or what all that means. It is bloody awkward and confusing.

    I like it much better here, where things make sense. :supersmile:

    Putting ice cream sprinkles in oatmeal was not a bad idea, it was a good that didn't work.

    Little bit of a difference ;)
    What.

    Watching Stargate: Saskatchewan... oops, sorry, I mean Stargate: Atlantis, and got to the episode where the Wraith make use of that multi-gate bridge they created between the Pegasus Galaxy and the Milky Way. How did no one think that this bridge directly back to Earth might not one day get used by the Wraith? o_O

    Dear Student,
    I told you multiple times throughout the semester that what you were attempting to write was not a research paper, nor even an essay, but a poorly thought-out rambling collection of nonsense. I told you that you needed a minimum of two citations per main point. I told you that you could not use "I" in a research paper. I told you not to begin sentences with "and," "but," or "so."

    Oh well, I guess someone has to anchor down the left side of the bell curve.

    We were watching that the other day and I said "yeah and the wraith will be using it to gate to earth" as soon as the episode started... more to the point why do the security guys all stand around the gate pointing guns at it where they can be easily stunned, rather than following basic military principals and taking cover ?

    and how come Midway conveniently has an armory holding M240 machine guns and M4 assault rifles when there should be no need for that level of hardware (except for tiulc and ronan to use in gunning down the wraith)... and how do they open said armory given that they arent Midway staff.

    Also why does the midway armory contain the aforementioned M240s and M4s when the stargate teams are all armed with Herstal P90s

    I conclude that its best not to think about these things too much

    Did you mention that using 'perscomms' refferences for fellow students doesn't qualify as a 'citation' :D

    Oh my God. Now that's a masterpiece. It took a few seconds for me to realize that this wasn't a screenshot from a 1960s movie.

    I liked SGU too, but they made the show dark and lost a lot of their fanbase.
    If it makes you feel better, don't think of the show as over, they're just drifting between galaxies right now.

    I wonder if 'Medicate me' has any correlations to Victoria. I also wonder if The Passing Light of Day is Remedy Lane part two. Is Elysian Woes really To Bid you Farewell continued the way The Twelve Step Suite is continued? It makes me wonder...

    Gonna spend all day alternating between sieving (we have a machine that does it for us) and reading Gone for Soldiers by Jeff Shaara.
