I thanked him whole-heartily for my Plasma Rifles.

Nikolai Tesla, the man who discovered how to harness the power of electricity. More to the point, the man who figured out how to supply electricity to the masses without having a huge power-station every single mile.. If left to Edison, the only places with electricity (without your own generator) would be places similar to Wall Street.. Densely packed offices filled with wealthy people.
@ YomiSicc, he's a fascinating man, was extremely brilliant, you should read up on him or watch some documentaries..

He worked on the idea of delivering electricity without lines.. Also he was toying with the ideas of a directed energy weapon and a flying machine that had no conventional engine, no wings, no propeller..
It's actually kinda scary to think about all the things he could've accomplished given the funding and time.. He was definitely gifted.

if he had been properly funded etc we wouldve had wireless electricity, phasers, flying cars, and maybe even teleporters by now >:|
anyways..
cross-posting this because i worked hard to make it, and maybe someone else will find use in it
its not hard to tie a tie =/
1. put it around your neck, slide it to where the wide end is further down than the narrow end.
2. take the wide end, and cross it over the narrow end. Wrap it around all the way once, and then once more, stopping at the back.
(note: make sure to leave the second loop loose)
3. take the wide end up through the neck, and then back down through the second loop.
4. pull wide end to tighten knot, then, while holding the knot, pull the narrow end to tighten until comfortably tight.
pictures coming in a sec.
(edit because i missed a step)

I don't think I could do it even with that.. I've never worn a tie in my life.. I've never even worn a suit. Dressiest I ever get is a buttoned long sleeve dress shirt and slacks.
Even that is only for like, funerals and court. For job interviews (never have gone for anything 'serious' the height of my interview career is Kroger's or Walmart) I just wear a good pair of pants and a dressy short sleeved buttoned shirt.
Actually, last time I had to go to court, my lawyer told me (when asked what I should wear) to just wear a nice pair of pants and a good shirt, and leave the suits to the lawyers.

I wore a tie every weekday for most of my teenage years, and can't for the life of me remember how to tie one a decade later.

thats just a basic four in hand knot, theres a few others, the half windsor knot looks nice, but basically its hard to tell the difference between them =/

By slipispsycho 2011-10-14 03:21:31
I have no idea <_< image dyslexia? Yal both have black avatars with a single image in the middle that is kinda dull and not completely contrast to the black?
Also, it just seems like a Yomi question.. <.<

Now I turn into my son..
"HEY! I'm very disappointed in you! I'm not happy."
(That's what he says to anyone every time someone makes him angry we don't just let him get his way.)

Never. -_- I'm bored.
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
