Tell me about it. Right now, we're in the first town in Pokemon Crystal, just outside it actually, battling level 3/4 Pidgey's and stuff with our level 11 Totodile.

Democracy in 12 minutes, and it'll last for a grand 30 seconds until everyone anarchy's the chat to oblivion.

I'm on the same boat with my data structures class, which is bad because it's considerably harder than most, if not all of the classes I previously took during my university.

It's just difficult to find studying material for that particular subject online.

Okay, what is up with the forum name this time? I know plenty of California working girls because I live in California. Hell, most of the women in my workplace make more money than I do.

Kanzler March 2nd, 2014 11:06 AM

That's so sexist. You should talk to your boss about that.

University of Pennsylvania conducted a study recently and concluded that absolutely none of the women living in California work. I think the moderators just want to spread the word, which I think is wonderful.

I'm glad you said that. When I initially saw the title of the thread I automatically started reading it like Katy Perry's "California Gurls," but then was oddly confused half way through it. Now I know I'm not going insane over here.

DCC titles never cease to amaze me

Taemin March 2nd, 2014 4:17 PM

I was pleased once I realized I could sing out the thread title in the actual tune.

Alexander Nicholi March 2nd, 2014 4:32 PM

Katy Perry seems to be one of the more plastic-y of the barbie girl stars of today. Is that a bad thing, though? I wonder… :>

Sir Codin March 2nd, 2014 4:33 PM

Watching Plinket's reviews of the Star Wars prequels right now. So depressingly true.

On the other hand, I'm actually looking forward to the Star Wars sequels mainly because a) J.J. Abrams is directing it and I loved his Star Trek movies and b) George Lucas won't have as much leeway this time around to ♥♥♥♥ things up. Hopefully we'll get more of something like The Empire Strikes Back instead of The Phantom Menace.

She isn't really plastic-y! She's actually lovely and probably is one of the stars that actually have a personality

Today I was on Wikipedia reading about an alleged anti-gravity/time travel device constructed by Nazi Germany called Die Glocke. It seems to be composed of two counter-rotating cylinders with a violet mercury-like substance (red mercury) in the middle. Some say it was an anti-gravity device, others claim that there was a mirror on top of it that showed images from the past; I myself believe it was a time-travelling device, mainly because right before the war ended the project's lead scientist and the device vanished. Also, in 1966 an unknown object supposedly crashed somewhere in the middle of Ohio or Pennsylvania, never to be seen. It intrigues me~

Wikipedia...Not on there as much as before because I don't have to do essays or papers anymore, but whenever I got myself on an interesting page, I will start hopping from one link to another XD I'll start populating my brain with useless information.

Same for me bud, I had a feeling someone was inspired by Katy Perry here.

You probably shouldn't believe Wikipedia. Go to the bottom of the page and look at the sources and see if those look like legit pages and read about them on there. You might find more information that is more relevant.

Sometimes there aren't sources for everything; and for a reason. That doesn't mean it's a load of crap by default, River. D:

That's what the professors would tell us to do for papers, if we ever were allowed to use Wikipedia. Instead of referencing sources from Wikipedia, look at the footnotes and locate where the information came from :P We had a discussion about this in my culture class, but I wasn't listening XD

I never said it was a load of crap!
I'm just saying, you can't always trust them. And to try and find footnotes to maybe support what was being said. It could also help you find more information than what is on Wikipedia.

....I feel like I could have just saved so much time if I had just done that!! My god, you my friend, are a genius.

What's everybody up too today?

I got an email back from Centrelink responding too my Student Allowance claim! Just got to print a bunch of ♥♥♥♥ off and hopefully I get some moneeey. I would like a job, though, but nowhere's hiring right now. Gonna actually go and lurk around online, see if I can find anything that's not fast food.

I thought that was common sense...XD Not that I'm insulting you and telling you that you have none >< But if the information's on Wikipedia, it's bound to be from somewhere else.

Yeah, I think I learned this in middle school when I was younger. I found it by scrolling to the bottom and seeing it and then I tested it out on other Wikipedia pages. However, later on, my teachers have told me about it. Not sure why someone wouldn't know. D:
