Just for being in geology I'll skip your banning.

Go to class!

(Yes, call it lecture if you want, but even after five years I still call it 'class' and 'school' :p)

... this seminar should be useful for those taking the dreaded plate tectonics module this year


I don't know what he means - plate tectonics are A-1 Supar!

shouldn't you go to the classes... more often?.


Yes. That's no reason to go, though. Blame my broadband if you must.

I mean, you are paying to be there, are you not?


:nervous: Err... I hope not, or I'm going to have to find a thousand pounds very quickly ;)

If I could go back in time I certainly wouldn't go forward.

*wants a combination*
*V wants the following combination V*
Go forward. Steal starship. Go backwards. Use anti-matter weapons on sludge. Appoint self supreme overlord of Earth. Create a slave-race.


Hmmm. That sounds a little too much like some text-based adventure game......Meh.

Go back to that period in ancient history that always gets featured on TV- you know, the one where all the women wear nothing but leather straps or little rags, are all pretty much hot as hell, and when the biggest problem anyone had to deal with was some frail-ass fire-breathing monster from prehistory that could be dispatched with a good, solid kick. Invent the harem. And the BRL, so that I wouldn't have to waste time with those damn monsters.

If I could go back in time, I would go back to the time prior to World War2, assasinate Hitler and the stupid Japanese emperor. Maybe even Stalin if it happens just like the Red Alert story.:D

If I could go forward in time, I would learn how to develop a hyperdrive, come back and then introduce hyperdrive to this time and be rich and powerful. Then, I can live a life of luxury, surrounded with lots of naked girls. No blue bikinis! Yub yub!!!:D

FTL could quite possible be the stupidest invention which would ever be attained by the human race.

From the people who brought you Nukes, comes: FTL!!! Why spend billions to destroy the Earth when a single FTL craft can doo it for just a few hundred million?

In short: *points craft at Earth*
*engages FTL*
*annihilates several thousand years of history and several billion people within a split-second*
*causes the planet to break apart, thus dooming the human race*

no, because real FTL couldn't be acheived by standard newtonian physics. i'd have to be space warp or something, which isn't true velocity.

Actually, you'd set off a time paradox. You see, you'd go back in time, change something, but at the same time you'd negate your need to go back in time/destroy yourself, preventing yourself from going back in time, causing the reemergance of the need to go back in time, etc.

Do NOT start that time crap. It's even more interminable than a political thread, and somehow even more irritating than a TaS one.

Anyway, yeah. But you wouldn't need to be going at FTL speeds to take out a planet, anyway. A rock the size of, say, a piano going at 1/3 the speed of light would do grandly- make a mean-ass crater, punch through the planet, disrupting the core, and likely knock it off-orbit enough to send it either into the moon or the sun, whichever came first.

I REALLY love that part.


I was just wondering what would be the consequences if someone had killed Frank Herbert before he wrote Dune:
1. No Command & Conquer series
2. No Dune (well duh)
3. Cryo wouldn't be in bankruptcy
4. No Frank Herbert (duh again)

1. Probably no RTS at all as we know it
2. Well... :(
3. CRYO=EVIL=EVIL=EVIL=EVENMOREEVIL
4. Don't care.
