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.

Moonbear suddenly realizes the great untapped market for supplementing a professor's salary. :biggrin:
Just name your price. He'll be the tall blond surfer-boy in the front row who thinks he knows everything. I want him to suffer, you hear me? SUFFER! :devil: muwhahhahahhaaa!
I bet there's a whole network of siblings out there who are willing to cough up the cash for this kind of torture. :biggrin:

You're going to have to be more specific than that. There's one of them in every class! :-p

$$$$$ I can see it now. I'll be the only prof on campus who can afford a Porsche. I think I want a red one. :cool:

Well for the fall there are 2 bio classes - physiology and genetics - with both labs, so it kind of turns out to be '4' classes, but then again, biology isn't really the biggest undergrad area - but i know they are looking for a new associate prof. they have 3 floors dedicated to biocatalysts and other bio/chem applications, polymers, etc

That could explain why she left, if bio isn't very big there and if her research was really in a field of biology, she may have felt isolated in a dept full of biochemists.

AAAAGH! Danger, I'm sorry, but your avatar is a bit...scary. :bugeye:

MIH, your current avatar is really cute! Anna Nicole was even scarier than Danger.
This from a woman who presents a bug avatar to the world's foremost insectophobe? I'll tell you how much I can't stand bugs. I'm a Bruce (from Robert the Bruce of Scotland), and by family tradition we're not allowed to harm spiders. To me, the more legs it has, the less I like it. I was actually so scared of spiders when I was a kid that I thought one might run up the handle of the flyswatter and bite me before it died. So instead I would put a 5mm starter's blank in my Llama XV .22 with the 1.75" barrel and shoot the buggers with it. It gave about a 6" muzzle flash that would curl a spider up into a little blob and smash it into the far wall. This was, of course, in the house that was built into the church that my dad worked at. I'm sure that when we left, they couldn't figure out what the hell all of those 6"-long scorch marks all over the carpet were about.
Anyhow, having read all of that roach stuff, I'm even more glad than ever that I live someplace that's too cold for them.
And now, just to double-check reactions, I present the last installment of 'The 5th Dementia' that I did about a year ago. It, like the first, is about mid-point in the quality department.

well actually her research is in chromatin structure and dynamics and protein folding. i guess you could say she is a molecular biologist with biophysics in mind

Thanks for pointing out it's a bug! I was happily oblivious thinking it was a disgruntled-looking dragon.

I liked the first one better. This one is okay for a Tuesday, but I'd be disappointed if it was in the Sunday funnies. Actually, I got a good laugh because it reminded me of a past thread where tribdog's "boys" landed in a pickle jar. :smile:

Alright, alright. You just always have to have the best of everything, don't you? Well, you ain't going to get it, 'cause none of 'em are that great. I will, however, give you this one that I consider among the better ones. At least it's relevant to the thread.:rolleyes:

I've finally had a chance to view your comics. Those are great! :approve:

So, you're multi-talented, eh?

Thanks, ladies. I don't think I'm that good, just persistent. Some of them took a couple of days to do, and I never did get them into Photoshop to start tweaking and airbrushing. I can't draw people worth a damn, with or without Illustrator, so I try to concentrate on mechanical stuff. It feels really good to have them accepted. I didn't know if anybody'd like them. :redface:

Funny, and SO appropriate to this forum too!

That's not what I hear...er, I mean persistence is important too. :-p

*Huckleberry comes up for air*
It's taking forver to get through that member photo thread. I'm amazed by how attractive the photos are. I thought for sure everyone would be atleast middle-aged and nerdy looking. These people look great, and so many of them are so young. I've read some of their replies on other threads and I thought they were professionals in their fields. Where were people like this when I was in high school? almost 20 pages left to go. Be back soon I hope.

P.S. Great comics Danger. I'm lookin forward to seeing more. Very reminiscent of the Farside, but with that indescribable Danger flare. I think to myself when I see them "Something is very wrong with that man, but I like it anyway."

I know! I gave up on reading the archived threads. Hey, why doesn't someone make that thread into a poll on the top three--for us new members? So far I vote for "Dave."

Yeh, I know. :-p

:smile: I almost offered to sponsor Smurf, but he's a minor. :smile: The dirty-old-lady thing is an inside joke I have with a few business associates, etc. I'm really not like that at all, dang it.

There's a height requirement? Dang! No wonder I have so much trouble finding men. *puts on 6" heels* Maybe that will help. :-p

Perhaps someone should explain to Smurf about being a "Kept man." :devil:

What a great idea! (But how did he know about the tatoo?)

Can't speak for anyone else, but I'm going to work. That means that Moonbear should be along any minute. Later, dudes and dudettes.

I've been avoiding this thread because its size and silliness intimidates me :redface: . But I'll make the sacrifice to contribute to your "strive for 5(000)".

Too late! He gobbled that cookie down like it might be his last. :biggrin:

Oh, are you feeling a little under the weather franzbear? Here, have another cookie, that should perk you right up. :smile:

It's not like we need any more competition around here. Every time someone drops out of the running, it seems someone new shows up to take up the torch and continue on.

Oh, just to fill you in, we've already tried fire, explosions, electrocution, hunting accidents, lethal injection, gunshot wounds, drowning, and sexually transmitted diseases (franzbear was hanging around those sailors a little too long way back in the beginning of the thread). Oh, and those cookies have a secret ingredient out of a box with a nice pirate skull and crossbones. Oh, and we even tried boring the thread to death, that didn't work either. But back around post 2000 or so, the thread was declared immortal. Only another immortal can kill it apparently.
 
  • #3,322
Hmmm, I guess we need to kill each other then. We will soon find out who is immortal, and then we can let them kill the thread.

*Enter the immortal Bob* MWHAHAHAHAHAHA. o:) I mean... :devil: I am here to fold your plan more than 10 times. MWHAHAHAHAHA.

So what has been happening? :rolleyes: o:) :rolleyes:
