Thread Killer Champions: Franzbear & Moonbear

    Thread
In summary, Franzbear is the most prolific thread killer in the forum. He has killed at least 12 threads and is likely responsible for 21 more. His ability to kill threads is not a direct outcome of the evidence (number of last posts). You have to at least factor in the total number of posts by each person (posts in GD) to get a more accurate representation of the killer instinct. Franz and Moonie have so many posts here, they are more likely to be the winning killers. You have to divide the number of kills by the total number of posts during the same period to get a corrected distribution.

Naw... if that's what he'd been talking about, do you really think that I would have referenced something as large as a gerbil? :-p

DocToxyn, we're still waiting for that new tatoo picture. (taps foot impatiently)

It's the anticipation that's the best part... o:)

:-p No, looking at the picture is definitely the best part. :approve:

That is really a nice tatoo, pretty good canvas too. :wink:

The turtle looks great, but couldn't you have housebroken it before it did that all over the rest of your body? :-p

Is that really your turtle? What's his name?

I don't name my turtle. Its so slow that I barely stick around for a conversation :rolleyes:

I'm really glad the pictures cleared before I looked at that post. Given the current topic of questionable male fashion, I might not have returned to this thread.

cronxeh- that looks like a Russian tortoise, Testudo horsfieldii (Agrionemys horsfieldii), am I right?

Evo is rather fond of chelonians so be prepared...


By the looks of it, you are right, thanks

I had no idea what this turtle was until now.

Quick googling revealed operating temperatures to be between -30F to 108F. What an engineering marvel :rolleyes:

The Russian is quite popular in the pet trade, I have one of his cousins, a Greek. How did you end up with it, if you didn't know what it was? Did you collect it yourself?
 
  • #3,648
nah my mom got it for my brother, and since he is only 9 it ended up with me.. i mean it practically lives under my bed

i was sitting in my comfy recliner today when something bit me on the toe thumb. in an instance i thought it was a tarantula.. i yanked my foot up in the air 2 feet high, shaken, looked down and this s.o.b was just sitting there laughin his arse off

Oh, no, I'm sure seeing the actual picture is the best part! :biggrin: :!) :!) And my migraine finally went away; I think that picture really helped erase those speedo wedgie pictures out of my aching head. :-p

Toe thumb? Cronxeh, I'm not sure we can allow you to switch to bio, we try to sequester the folks with webbing and extra body parts into physics. Just take a look at DocToxyn's body there and you'll see where we set the bar for biologists! :biggrin:
 
  • #3,652
I know.. I'm afraid I won't be able to switch into Bio if I want my BS by 2007 :frown:

I'll stick with an MS in Biomedical Eng by 2008 though :-p

You served yourself with...turtle? Keep that up and you'll be on the endangered species list. :-p

Don't feel bad about not naming your turtle (very nice turtle BTW). Many owners don't give their turtles names. Also, taking it slow can be good, but you should stick around for at least a little conversation. :rolleyes: Biting turtles--not good.

Join us again next week when we will discuss my favorite topic, pigs. :-p

I'll take your word for it. Personally, I've never bitten one.

Yeah, it can be really weird when guys name their turtles.
 
  • #3,658
Oh what about women naming their cats?

I'm starting to suspect that you're confusing the 'turtle' with the 'one-eyed zipper eel'. A common mistake; they look quite similar from the neck up.

Exactly. The "one-eyed zipper eel" becomes a "turtle" when immersed in water (hot tubs, etc.)

You call that water?

Last I checked the pH was around 4! :eek:

Are you people TRYING to get our turtles sick?

Oh, no, not at all. Turtles aren't much fun to play with when they hide in their shells.

Hello everyone. A few more days and this semester will be over with :smile:

How is everyone else doing?
 
  • #3,665
You hear that, Danger?

There is a conspiracy on a global scale (they already took over division cycles and stay ahead of us by almost 2 % in numbers!) to systematically and innately break down the calcium shells on our turtles by use of their acid!

Oh yeah preppy boy?

How about them finals stretched over 2 week infused with sleepless nights on caffeine and dihydrogen monoxide piling over sketchy notes

Now, now, now, calm down. So many urban myths! For example, you will not go blind if your turtle comes out of it's shell. Turtles are a valued creation and must be protected. That is why we opened the clinic you know.

Absolutely! We take great pride in the loving care we give to turtles. :approve:

That depends entirely upon the temperature of the water and the quality of the company. :-p

'Suzie' is actually the only one I'm familiar with by name. I found that a little distracting.

So you only date Jewish boys?

I hate to disillusion you, but the term 'bone' is just a euphamism. I might be pretty freakin' old, but I don't have a calcium shell yet.

Oooh, yeah! Can't get enough of that dihydrogen monoxide!:-p

Well... if it comes out too fast... :wink:

Correct. One can't go around exposing turtles to every environment. It is good to know a few basics of accepted turtle care.

Turtles require the proper environment to truly grow and be happy. Turtles like warm moist surroundings. This can make them just poke their heads out of their shell, raise up, and dive right in and come back out and dive right in again, and come right out again. :-p Just a happy happy turtle. :-p

I'm going to go wash my turtle and put it to sleep, since its already sleepy.

It always wakes me up in the morning :rolleyes:

You occupy a unique niche; not everyone has a sundial for an alarm clock.
