    I love sarcasm

    It has a hold on you which you cannot break

    :headbang:

    Just make a few threads about how everyone is going to hell unless they repend and you will soon be able to get a blue
    :grin:

    I can tell. :awesome:

    I know! :boing:

    :danceboy:

    My whole year is really sarcy at school, although I was before it was mainstream to be because I'm so hipster :smug:

    5 days without it will be nice

    :evilbanana:

    I'm like that as well, took so long to get 100 :emo:

    I want to get lots done but I feel soooo lazy! :cry:

    I know. Almost 6,000 posts. :sad:

    It is the demon cat, Kirara from the anime InuYasha. My profile picture (and current desktop background) is Lord Sesshomaru (Sesshomaru-sama) from the same anime.

    I so want Kirara as a pet!!!!





    I must finish that anime before going back to school.

    Seshomaru (InuYasha's half-brother) with Jaken and Rin:



    So cool. :ahee:

    My friend was like, you're so sarcastic cause I saw some graffiti in an alleyway that said "Hello Earthlings" and I was like, "Do you know what, that is definitely what aliens would do if they came to earth. They definitely wouldn't go to the whitehouse or some world leader, they would come to an alleyway literally nobody walks down in greater London and write on a fence."

    going cold turkey :cool:

    :thrasher:

    I envy the really witty people :sigh:

    Pokemon cards not Yu hi Oh and the like
    Not only have you missed the hyphens, but where has the "G" gone :lolwut:
    Yu-Gi-Oh! > card games

    (Original post by minimus777)
    You're right, not so hard, apart from the bit where you tell us to put an N and a G together. I'm sure those two letters do not go together!
    Some people manage to pronounce my surname as "win" :lolwut:

    No, it wasn't.

    I know! :emo:

    Hahahahaha! Nice plan.

    I remember playing Yu-Gi-Oh with friends in the garage! :moon:

    And Pokémon as well. And Digimon.

    Digimon!
    Digital Monsters!
    Digimon are the champions!
    :ahee:

    Making me confused! :unimpressed:

    Coooolio!

    "Right, left and centre" refers to cubing algorithms and parts of the cube as well as being an actual saying. :smug:

    Aren't you proud of me? :ahee:

    I know they aren't good enough... :emo:

    ...YET! :mwuaha:

    I was undefeated
    I retired undefeated too

    I managed to confuse Maths_Lover :woo::woo::woo::woo::woo::woo::woo:

    I would have got it if you said L R and M :emo:
    I thought you meant something like that but then I thought, centre :lolwut:
    There's no notation for that :lolwut:
    So I cried :emo:

    You managed to make your teacher get confuzzled :lol:

    I'm breeding a beast

    Yes.

    I so want Audi R8 as a pet!!!!





    I must drive that car before going back to school.

    Lewis Hamilton (Jenson Button's team-mate) with Sebastian Vettel and Jenson Button:



    So cool. :ahee:
    I completely agree :yep:

    Find the least area of metal required to make a closed cylindrical container from thin sheet metal in order that it might have a capacity of 2000pi cm3.

    surface area \displaystyle = 2 \pi r h + 2 \pi r^2

    volume \displaystyle = 2000 \pi = \pi r^2 h \rightarrow h=\frac{2000}{r^2}

    substituting in :

    \displaystyle 2 \pi \frac{2000}{r}+2\pi r^2=f(x)

    \displaystyle f'(x)=-2\pi \frac{2000}{r^2}+4\pi r

    \displaystlye 2r=\frac{2000}{r^2} \rightarrow r^3=1000

    minimum surface area when r=10

    From a mathematical point of vision this is true.


    My engineering side comes out and says that , in fact the shape an radius of partially controlled by purpose. Suppose it is a gas cylinder. According to Laplace's law you want a small radius to reduce the surface tension.

    Yup, spending my days practising and building decks :rofl:

    Only fair since you confused me
    I predicted that you would so I confused you first

    I know now :emo:
    There's actually an algorithm that turns the centre piece 90 degrees.
    Useless on a normal cube but pretty handy for those darn picture cubes :rant:
    Ugly alg too :emo:

    You're not planning another confusion attack are you :lolwut:

    A beast that will crush all opponents :mwuaha:

    I opened it and searched every corner for signs of cubing :lol:
    That's how sad I am :facepalm2:
