I'm With Stupid 28: Have a Stupid New Year
So here I am, having fun kicking the Drengin out from the galaxy, when I start to think about binary numbers for whatever reason. And then it occurs to me: Blast! I'm With Stupid! And I was supposed to post it on Friday!
The rules, quoth :) Smiley:
For each question, provide an answer. Any answer. Scoring is based on how many other people give the same answer. For example, if the question is "Do you hate George W. Bush" and 5 people say Yes, 1 person says No, and 3 people say Philly Cheesesteak, then each of those answering Yes gets 5 points, the person answering no gets 1, and those saying Philly Cheesesteak get 3.
1. Who was/is the greatest mad scientist*?
2. It's round, black and fits in a glove compartment: what is it?
3. What game deserves a sequel the most, but is never going to get one?
4. What movie of 2003 will win the Oscar for best movie?
5. What was the best new game in 2003?
6. Fill in: Everything I learned about ____, I learned by playing Civilization.
7. Have you read 'the Lord of the Rings'?
8. Where does the one and only, true Santa Claus live?
9. What was the first day of the third millennium?
10. Did Jacko do it?
11. In fifty years, which nation will hold hegemony in the world?
12. Do you have any idea how difficult coming up with these questions can be?
13. Are you afraid of the number 13?
* Shamelessly ripped off from Slashdot.
Deadline: January 6th, 1800 GMT.
Edit: of course, the obvious - PM your answers to me.

Are you claiming:
A. Abstract Idealism isn't valued anywhere
B. It's so obviously easy to find a place where it is valued more than here.
I'd be wrong if either were true but which are you implying?
BTW bump-mapping is still preferable to gouraud mapping.

I don't know whether to be happy that I've found the smartest place out there...
Or sad because this is the smartest place out there.
I think I'll just look stunned and confused. 
Now I have a bump on my head.

I'm claiming that the Internet isn't exactly the best place to go for any 'profound' discussion. If you need warez, pr0n, or are doing a study of various typos, then the Internet is the best place to be. But discussion of "abstract idealism" doesn't fit into any of those three major categories (warez, pr0n, or in a very distant third, typos).
Zero's right--I have yet to find a place better than this Apolyton OTF for reasoned intelligent discussion (and a good laugh too in the more humorus threads.) Read one of the ME(middle east), economy, or Iraq threads, and you'll notice some of the brightest OT of Apolyton hanging out there. 
Nice way to bump btw.

You've discovered the difference between an optimist and a pessimist - an optimist believes we live in the best possible world, and a pessimist knows it
