Well, I've had no problems determining the sex of someone IRL, just helping fas out a little(doubt my post was useful though

)

And I haven't had sex before, so I'm still 'safe' from sex-determining troubles

@Brink: Bored to death? No computer games, no girls, no homework?

Life is very good

A minor annoyance is that the PET-camera broke down again (as usual) during my holiday, so my and everybody else's work will be a couple of weeks postponed.

@CE-Yeap, no computer games(just finished the exp pack for NwN the other day), no girls(erm, I think my *luck* has run out), and most definitely no homework (done with college

)

Ah,equipment failure, the bane of all researchers?

@Brink: You should start playing Diablo 2, like me

Bah, I am sure it's just a temporary spell, you "luck" with girls will return!

Yep, equipment failure...I recently had a dinner discussion with a rat researcher and I complained about how difficult it is to conduct studies on humans, and that it must be much easier to study rats. He replied by telling me about his first study with a new type of knock-out mice (ie genetically altered mice) and that he, during the first year, considered giving up research and instead write a book with the title "A thousand ways to kill a rat without really wanting it"

Now I must work, I have a deadline Monday and another one Tuesday...see you later, take care!

So I guess the frilly negligee and the belly dancing lessons aren't sufficient incentive. Odd.

Well ... that is not something we need to get into here at a public board with minors visiting ...

@CE
Do give us a yell when your researcher friend brings out his book. My younger brother recently started looking after mice and I swear he is going to lose them at my parents house sooner or later

@CE-Ah,I don't really want to go through the trouble of searching for my diablo 2 cd again, so I think I'll pass on that offer

I've never experimented on rats before....humans, maybe, but never rats

Balut! I can use that as the name for the character in Oragami Studios who refuses to "name himself" like all the others do.

It sure beats "Bahalamute", which was what it was going to be. Thanks, Wander-boy. *Hugs*

@Azzilla, spam should also be, well, courteous and relevant (according to the Spamificon of Glutaeus Maximus, c 214-213). Your last lengthy post wasn't just trivial, the hallmark of all good spam, but irrevelant to the triviality of the discussion, and very long, which makes it difficult for anyone who posted before to keep the thread going.

I can see that we shall have to educate this stout young fellow in what makes good spam. I'm just a spam tyro. There are many others here who are spamming veterans, and I hope I can pick up on this subject and give you the kind of direction and governance which all newbies need.
