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.

Well yeah... they pretty much come as a set.

I have a theory that if sixty people bring knives to a place that nobody knows exists, everyone will feel a slap.

Personally, I feel that abstract representational art should capture the essence of the subject in some way. A sculpture with a concave back is an interesting 3 dimensional doodle, but it doesn't show the spirit of the turtle.

Shouldn't you be in that turtle dish?

It's a nice piece of art but I wouldn't call it an actual turtle. What kind of turtle has a concave shell?
It's a not-actual abstract turtle

That would be an actual non-abstract turtle, or maybe a non-actual, non-abstract turtle. :-p

No, yomamma was right, it would be a non-actual abstract turtle.

It's not turtley enough for you?

Or maybe a non-actual abstract non-turtle.

Faraday did extensive experiments based on this very theory.

I call it a wodden non-actual abstract un-turtle with non-convexlike shell and abstract legs for short: WNAAUTWNCSAAL (acronym)

I remember the snapping turtles from a long time ago... canoeing over the lake shallows.

The pull-down menu that says [Size] right above the other formatting commands. '2' is normal, '1' is small. Just go back to '2' to cancel.

Hey, you little bugger! You already did it. What are you asking for?

How do people make a post with just a smiley and no text? I always get a message saying that I must have at least 10 characters.

Hardly a meeting or convention exists but could be enhanced by promotional material from the Tourist department of Bad Lauterberg.

Put some other stuff in white so nobody sees it

Tourist with a capital T and that rhymes with P and that stands for Pool-hall.

It counts the characters you have to type for the smiley.

Hey, thanks! I never thought of that. (Have to make it something innocent, though, since it'll show up in the quote screen.)

Unfortunately for you, my screen colour is set to very light grey for doing art, so white shows up. :-p :biggrin:

I actually have a moustache superior to the finest grade of paper ducks.

this is my idea of an abstract turtle:

<gasp>[/URL] I WANT IT! :!)

Actually it's not abstract at all, the other part of the sculpture, the lid (or shell) has been lost. The two pieces, made in Taiwan, were originally sold at Walmart for $5.95. The bottom piece (seen above) somehow made it's way to an exclusive art dealer in NY who assuming the piece was making a statement as a "non-actual abstract turtle", is offering it for sale for $15,900.

Well, Danger, everyone has that. Select the text to see it more easily.

Most turtles carry poison darts in secret hidden pouches under their skin.

What I meant is that I don't have to. My screen isn't white, so white text isn't hidden.

edit: Gonna be late for pool. Don't kill each other before I get back.
