Hmmmm... I seem to recall a "Dave's House 'o Fighters" once... Maybe I'm just going nuts.

Daves House O' fighters was a joke from the FS2 manual.

CP: You don't think being surrounded by scantily clad females invoves quite a bit of theorizing? ;7
You know, it's actually quite a mental activity, as well as a visual one. Requires a bit of imagination, but they say the technical bit is everything...

Damn, I'm a dirty old man and I'm not even old yet.

He's 15.
 
But thinks that girls look like a crap? :wtf: He's strange, not that I didn't know his opinions before. :rolleyes:
 
Edit: Bleh, CP is cheating, he always posts those smilies when he says that girls look like a crap... actually CP likes this thread. :D
 
 

I guess... :nervous:

Can somebody resencitize this guy to primal human instincts?


Primal human instincts also involve living in jungles, without any technology or organized civilization... :p

Hey CP, why don't you at least try a girl sometime? If it doesn't work out, your theories are confirmed, but until you honestly try it, the theorem that all girls = bad will remain unproven.


Well, that's like saying that it is unknown whether or not killing yourself is useless until you actually try it. :p

Sure, but it is still too applied for me; pure theory only involves the math. ;7 (like I said, the more interesting functions do not appear in any application)

gah I hate this 56k... :headz:

CP, you need help.:rolleyes:   If you really want to get the full effect of theorizing, come up with a nice theory and then TRY IT.  Its more fun that way.

Edit:  Good list by the way.

The boxed version did. Maybe you got the White label Re-release which had the manual on CD.

I knew that off-hand remark of mine would come back to bite me in the ass. :rolleyes:

Ah, well, like the song says, it's nobody's fault but mine. :o

Dude, vyper, I think CP may be a lost cause. If these pics don't get him to stop his math theorizing, he'll never appreciate the beauty of a woman.

And if he never appreciate the beauty of a woman, then he'll never get a girlfriend. If he never gets a girlfriend, he'll never get laid. If he never gets laid, he'll never have children. AND if he never has children, CP will never have the opportunity to piss in the human gene pool by creating a new generation of math theorists with the wrong priorities! ;) :p :D

CP, I will support whatever decision you make. :nod: :D

See what I said earlier about that; to give another example, suppose you try to theorize what is in the sun's core, does that mean that you should go in there to find out if you're right? :D

What I think about it? She looks like the usual biological crap as all the others do, and as for specific characteristics:

unusual clothing of unidentifyable composition and having small colored bead-like objects
mouth is asymmetrical from the front in its current position
appears to be digging in her genitals for something
somewhat long nails on at least one finger
the sun is most likely on the left due to the brightened hair there
some leaves of that nearby plant appear to be yellow

That's about it.

I have...other methods...of getting new math nuts to sprout up without actually having kids myself... ;7 :D

I actually think everyone else is a lost cause, since they will never appreciate the beauty of special functions. :p (check this out; the real part of the spherical harmonic function in spherical coordinates ;7)

I think we should just give up up on him.  We tried, and he won't get.  Just give him a few years and we'll throw that picture in front of him again.  By the way, thank you vyper, that was a very nice selection.  CP, life is not all books and numbers.  Its one thing to dig math, but to dig it at the exclusion of other more complex things is just wrong.  And if you don't think girls are complex, try telling one that she doesn't need 13 pairs of shoes.:p

Actually, I'm the kind of guy who would try and invent a virus to take down every porn site out there. :D I only take orders if they have logical reasoning behind them, and it is actually all of you that need to "get help" if you see beauty in things like humans. Now this on the other hand:

Beauty in its purest form right there. (the quantity on the right is the third elliptic theta function)

I can think of a hundred better selections, such as the one I gave above. Life may not all be books, but it is indeed all numbers, since the workings of the universe can be fully explained by numbers. About liking math at the exclusion of everything else, see what Hardy said on that subject. :D Girls may well be complex (although even that is a matter of debate really), but that does not make them interesting in the least; the real man will go for pFq hypergeometric functions instead any day. ;7
