random shit

[zeldafreak1]

Heres some random facts i found while bored:
1. Of all the pictures available over the internet, 80 percent of these pictures are of naked women.
2 .There are about five porn pages for every 'normal' web-page
3. In France, a five year old child can buy an alcholic drink in a bar
4. In Texas, a recently passed anticrime law requires criminals to give their victims 24 hours notice, either orally or in writing, and to explain the nature of the crime to be committed. Only in Texas....
5. 101 Dalmatians and Peter Pan (Wendy) are the only two Disney cartoon features with both parents that are present and don't die during the movie.
6. Hydrogen is an explosive gas. Oxygen supports combustion. Yet when these are combined it is water which is used to put out fires.
(My response to fact 6: Logic has been fucked)
7. there are actually two types of humans? The slightly larger and less intelligent kind, males, have protruding external genitalia called "penises" that are used for making important life decisions. Meanwhile, females have these nifty things called "vaginas" that no one understands yet, especially males
8. Charlie Chaplin once won third prize in a Charlie Chaplin look-alike contest.
9. The word "fuck" is actually an acronym. It dates back to the Good Old Days, when England was severely underpopulated due to the usual combination of fire/war/plague, and the King issued an official order to... well, fuck, to replenish the population. Hence the phrase "Fornicate Under Command of the King" passed into everyday language.

I can believe it.

4. In Texas, a recently passed anticrime law requires criminals to give their victims 24 hours notice, either orally or in writing, and to explain the nature of the crime to be committed. Only in Texas....

Probably a "sucker law" to help reduce the amount of dumb-asses in crime, so that they can focus on the cases that really matter.

6. Hydrogen is an explosive gas. Oxygen supports combustion. Yet when these are combined it is water which is used to put out fires.

Well, if we can have table salt (sodium chloride)...

7. there are actually two types of humans? The slightly larger and less intelligent kind, males, have protruding external genitalia called "penises" that are used for making important life decisions. Meanwhile, females have these nifty things called "vaginas" that no one understands yet, especially males.

I say we just accept our ignorance of "Vaginology" as bliss, and move on.

Actually, not true.

The word "Fuck" dates back to before the 1500. The word got translated into a bunch of other languages a shit house amount of times, and eventually became taboo because it still meant sex or having sex.

There are quite a few urban myths explaining this word though, this story being one of them. My favorite one is that an Irish law said that anyone who committed adultery would be punished "For Unlawful Carnal Knowledge In the Nude", with "FUCKIN" written on the stocks above them to let everyone know what they did.

The word "Fuck" has unknown origins due the massive amount of now theories on it was started.

Also, with nature, opposites attract, and opposites happen.

For example, NaCl, aka salt. Na (sodium) is a poisonous material that will kill most life, and it also explodes when placed in water (or any group 7 element)
and Chloride, another poisonous gas that can also kill when breathed or ingested. Together, they make salt, a material that is needed by humans (and other creatures) to survive by maintaining water levels.

Can you survive? I did. (Thank you short attention span!)

Ight. 500 men are about to corner and assrape you. Your only hope is the weapon(s) you were using from the last videogame you played. How fucked are you?

Me: Not very. Gravity Suit with Thermal Beam. I think I'm good.

[Suraru]

Now I've heard this before, cept it was "Your in a zombie apocalypse, the last guy you texted and the last weapon you used are what you have. How fucked are you?"

Well I last texted an epic fat guy, and I last used a pony launching cannon.
He last texted me (good choice), and the last weapon he used was the fire motar from fallout.

So I'm boned, he is win.

Well, I last played Mega Man Zero (got an A rank run through it too), with a fully-upgraded Buster, Z-Saber, and Triple Rod, so I have this to say:

@Zender I figured itd be a MegamanZero weapon. XD But i'd rather have the Shield Boomerang

[Zender_Solarheart]

Shield Boomerang works best if they have guns, since it deflects bullets. In my case, however, I don't find that many places where I really feel it's needed...and even when I do, it's used for defense, not offense.

My general strategy is: use Buster for distant Pantheons, Z-Saber for close enemies and bosses, Triple Rod for nearby enemies at odd angles, and Shield Boomerang when things go Touhou-bullet-hell. Now if only any of those helped me outmaneuver spikes...*grumbles something about Reploids, armored boots, and Capcom's bullshit*

I was playing as Virgil from Devil May Cry 3 using the dual swords and demon magic to finish off a boss. This will be fun!

Its first known use as a verb meaning to have sexual intercourse is in "Flen flyys", written around 1475.
William Dunbar's 1503 poem "Brash of Wowing" includes the lines: "Yit be his feiris he wald haue fukkit: / Ye brek my hairt, my bony ane" (ll. 13–14).
John Florio's 1598 Italian-English dictionary, A Worlde of Wordes, included the term, along with several now-archaic, but then vulgar synonyms, in this definition:
Fottere: To jape, to sard, to fucke, to swive, to occupy.

That's all I found so far. Look more into it yourself, very interesting.
