it's possible, it just takes a lot of lemonadeI wish I knew what a non linear language looked like.dog piss
Kind of impossible to talk like that. It's also a horribly inefficient form of language.
no we'll turn Jupiter into a terrestrial planetQuoteThe size is another problem: No information can go faster than the speed of Light ... and that has been very much proven in Physics. Travel to somewhere that's even a hundred thousand light years away is pretty much infeasible if you consider the lifespan of human civilizations ... the whole planet would need to cooperate just to send a handful of people away, to never hear of them again. Likely?I second this. What sane species would want to do this?
One that wants to guarantee long-term survival? An Earth-destroying disaster will be less substantial on the human race if we've already colonized some far off planet, or maybe terraformed Mars or something.
I got 95, A+I still get a comparatively large amount of booty! Whoddathunk! Seriously, I'm stumped meself, everytime a girl thinks I'm one of the sporty cool types, and no way of rabbling will convince her that I'm actually a spotfaced geek, deep inside. I think it might be the alcohol and the hormones.Dude, if you haven't noticed, geeks are the new jocks.
Heh, I scored higher than 91%, lower than 9% in that nerd test.
all cultures need languages, but a language is a very loose conceptAliens also probably wouldn't have language
Eh, they could have language, just probably not as we know it.
I believe some calculations put there like 15-16 thousand Civilizations out there.nah they'd blow themselves up, face mounted testicles... *takes gun to head and pulls trigger*
Main issue is that they most likely are COMPLETELY alien, were not talking star trek aliens, were talking about eyes coming out of there mouth mounted testicles, they probably wouldn't even have feet, maybe not even mouths or even eyes. (Edit: Testicles are earthlike things aren't they? Remove them then.)
Not to mention Cultural differences... Oh gods the Christians would be horrified.
Even if they were able to get to earth, they'd be REALLY STUPID to make first contact.
I'd be within a year after first contact, at our current situation, we'd blow ourselves up.
So, what would an Alien Toady be like?exactly and it be focusing around the elvish stupidity
What game would he create, hyz'tz'rxfd'er Fortress?
Interstellar travel is stupid. Inteligent life forms wouldn't do stupid things.and intelligent life forms wouldn't say that either.
speak for thyself, I'm about to step into a cryochamberI don't know about you people, but I really am excited for the prospect of space colonization.
Yeah same here, it's too bad that our generation won't experience it.
the best in the world!I don't know about you people, but I really am excited for the prospect of space colonization.
Hope you have snacks prepped for the long wait then
No wonder that nobles always screw over our fortressesI had a nightmare I was a noble once.
Oh god that must've been terrifying.
Here's hoping they're not making bauxite floodgates as part of their "flood the world with magma" project.one of the chinese officials shall read this and say, "@!$# they figured out our plan"
A wolf pack, for example. A single human may live for seventy years. A single wolf will live for maybe twelve. The wolf is not an individual, though, the pack is, and the pack will live for longer than a single human. A single tree often has a lifespan greater than that of a human, but the tree is not the individual, the forest is, and most forests today have been around for millennia.... are you serious? individuality is all that separates us from communism+(90% of all dumbass animals)
At least, that's my theory.
all dwarves have uber livers, all that booze can't stay in their blood forever.Elven Words
[T_WORD:SUCK:pelese]
[T_WORD:USELESS:liva]
Hehe, pretty funny right?
"Liva" would be more appropriate in the dwarven language. What self-respecting dwarf needs a liver?
