Random Fact Thread

-I believe that that particular ToS rule - at least, according to somebody who posted in such a Support thread - was because, and I paraphrase somewhat, "We can't tell what they're saying."
-Basically, they could be breaking the ToS, but you wouldn't know unless you spoke their foreign language or used a translator.
-So they simply made it an offence to use any foreign language.
-Or something like that.
-It's still a pretty weird rule, and I daresay it's ignored on many ProBoards.
-Not many people would care too much, I guess.
-Years and years ago, at school, we had to make a piggy bank.
-Just one of those paper ones, using a balloon.
-I recall that it was actually fairly fun.
-Or possibly it wasn't.
-My memories are too distant.
-I'm reading The Secret Agent.
-...Very slowly.
-But I should have it finished soon.
-And then I'll be able to move onto something more interesting.
-I admit it's not particularly enjoyable to me right now.
-My day at school tomorrow will probably be fairly dull.
-I'll just be revising for next Tuesday's test all through Maths.
-Although Government should be better.
-I expect to get a lot of Maths homework, though.
-Still, at least it's nearly the weekend.
-For some reason, this week seems to have been really long, and I'd like a rest.

-Ho-hum.
-You might have noticed, but i dobut you care, that I haven't been on much for the past couple of weeks.
-Now I'm considering leaving.
-Just thought I'd tell you.

-I have noticed your absence lately.
-Don't leave, you shouldn't even consider it.
-Where would 667 be without you!?
-No where, thats where we'd be.
-So I'm feeling worse than I did yesterday
-I've been coughing all day, and my throat feels like someone has chopped it up into tiny pieces and served it as sushi.
-Which, you could imagine would hurt pretty bad.
-If I take to big of a breath, or don't breath regularly, and use all of the air in my lungs, I cough.
-If I take too little breaths, I cough.
-Pretty much I'm just coughing all the time.
-Which is making my head hurt
-And my stomach.
-I lost 3 1/2 lbs.
-Which makes 12 total.
-Which is good, as hopefully I'll be able to run faster, and maybe eventually do some weight training.
-I've just been sidetracked by a survey on myspace
-I had nothing else to say of much importance anyways

-After I filled out the application, this rather arrogant member pointed out that I have a thread in there where a couple people wrote things in spanish.
-She said if I didn't delete the thread immediately and put up a warning not to speak any languages other than english, they'd delete my link and ban me.

-Whoa, that was worse than the guys in MY forum
-Damn racists...

-And Akbar, don't go
-As I talk to you on MSN a lot, I doubt it would make much of a social difference, but I'd be without the 667er and all those awesome stories you write
-And we wouldn't be able to discuss as many things
-So stay on, even if you don't post all that much

[Antenora]

-I used to have a big plastic piggy bank.
-I remember that we had to enlarge the slot, because it actually wasn't big enough to put dollar bills in.
-I got rid of that bank at some point, though, or maybe it's just buried in my closet.
-Now I keep my money in a metal Pokemon bank, which I got a long time ago.
-And I used to have a jar that I was keeping pennies in for some reason ,but it got lost or broken.
-I overheard an interesting riddle on the bus.
-"Why did the girl drop her lollipop?"
"Because she got hit by a truck."
-I have a day off from school tomorrow.
-And I think I have next Friday off as well.
-It's nice to get some school holidays.

[Charles Vane]

Akbar, hi.
I don't really mind if you leave or not.
Well I'd have to get onto MSN to talk to you but still.
You seem different on 667 then the few times I've talked to you on MSN anyway.
I have seven piggy banks.
Or three, but seven is just thet hing I say when I don't actually know the asnwer.
I did something horrible to my back.
I'm not even sure what happened but my lower back is killing me, I guess since it saw my shoulder having so much fun with hurting me it decided to join in.
Also my head hurts.
Which I just find weird because I took asprin for my lower back and then my head started hurting. Asprin cures headaches, I don't see how a headache is allowed to start when you've taken headache medicine.
Oh, I have to find out what happens in Enders Game.

[SF]

-So I leave tonight for my 9-day vacation.
-I don't think I've ever had that long of a vacation.
-I will have some internet access, and will be able to check up on 667 and such.
-I still feel sick.
-My head feels like someone beat me up-side the head with a metal folding chair.
-I posted a couple things in CCreativity.
-You should all go and check them out.
-I'm still in my pajamas, as I'm too cold to change into my uniform yet.
-I have gym today, so its not as cold as it would be in my regular uniform
-I don't have much else to say....

[deanna.]

-Haha, I'm the only member on right now.
-I have to go to school soon.
-So I SHOULD be getting my crap together.
-But I'm not.
-Today's our Walkathon assembly at school.
-Everyone raises pledges from people and then we walk 20 km all over our city.
-And you can win prizes.
-But I probably won't win, cause I didn't bring in much money.
-So yeah.
-"You don't have to live like a refugee...."
-I have that song stuck in my head.
-I just heard it on the radio.
-Ack, I'd better go.
- ;D

[Dante]

-We used to have a Sponsored Walk every year at school.
-13 miles, to raise money so that the school could buy things.
-And I only once walked the full distance.
-My associates all abandoned me. Bah, Count Olaf was right.
-But I don't need those weaklings.
-Anyway, we don't have to do it any more in Sixth Form, although we may be asked to marshal.
-Except that this year we're not doing it, because the school allegedly has all the money it needs.
-I find it very suspicious that this happens the same year that I'm no longer obliged to do it.
-Somebody I know used to think that the word "several" meant "seven."
-I can quite understand that, although it doesn't seem one should think it for long.
-The person in question, after I told them, said that they'd been so confused reading books, because so many things were in sevens.
-Heh.
-I used to have a jar for loose change, but one day the bottom broke and all the money fell out.
-It's a real pity that I wasn't around at the time; my father had picked it up for some reason, while I was out at school or somewhere.
-Now I have a small, shell-shaped box, but it's basically become a shiny shiny magpie coin collection.
-I keep my money in a wallet now, although I'd often rather have a box.
-It would probably be less convenient when I have to take money out, though.
-Oh, and why would you have a problem with that, Dante? When do you ever spend money?
-Now, I've forgotten what I was going to say.
-But I had an easy and fun day at school.
-Mr. F. let us go home early.
-And I did all my Maths homework in class (although I still have some left over, but we're not meant to do it until after our test on Tuesday).

[SF]

-This'll most likely be my last post in random fact before I leave
-My dad was suppost to be home an hour ago, but he got stuck in traffic
-I took a shower earlier, and just let my hair dry naturally, and it looks pretty sweet, and I wish it would turn out like this when I want it to.
-Darn hair.
-We got The Da Vinci Code on CD to listen to while we're in the car.
-I've already read the book, but my mom/brother/dad haven't.
-My mom kept asking if she had to read Angels & Demons before that one, and I had to explain to her that a "prequal" meant that it is based before the second book, but was written after it
-Silly mother.
-I'm bringing all of ASoUE with me, and Anna Karenina in the car.
-I never got to finish Anna Karenina, as I had to give it back to the library, so I checked it out again.
-I should have a lot to do.
-Don't reak havic while I'm gone!!!
-Well, I don't have much else to say really.
-So I will be home on the 13th, but will most likely be on 667 before then.
-Bye guys, I'll miss ya!

[Antenora]

-Have fun on your vacation, SF.
-I went to the mall today.
-I bought a Discworld book, The Truth.
-Although I'm reading about three other books right now, I started reading it.
-I'm putting it aside now ,though, until I finish at least one of the other books I'm reading.
-I also found a Violet shirt at Hot Topic.
-My elementary school had something similar to a sponsored walk, only we'd jog in laps.
-I can't remember what I thought of it, although I do remember jogging a lot.
-I used to think that "several" meant "four or five", for some reason, while "a few" meant "three".
-And I got really confused once when someone said "A couple is two or three".

[doom]

-This is kind of late, but I don't want you to leave, Akbar.
-My mother fell and fractured her back a few days ago.
-She's been resting a lot.
-She's been really worried about her health, too, because it probably has to do with her osteoporosis.
-She got a juicer yesterday, and we've tried making some juice.
-Wait, yesterday?
-Might have been the day before that.
-I should start looking for some birthday gifts I'd like, to show my parents.
-There's not much I really want.
-It feels like I've been 13 for so long.
-My throat hurts a little bit.
-I hope I'm not getting sick.

[Dante]

-I don't have The Blank Book.
-I'd quite like it, despite the fact that I already have a commonplace book.
-And I've never actually seen it in stores.
-I used to categorise what words like "couple," "few" and "several" meant.
-I can't remember what each word could represent, but I remember that "a few" could be used to describe something in a three.
-Although really, three isn't many.
-I'm going out for a while this morning to have a flu jab.
-It makes my shoulder ache for a while, or something.
-Possibly it just makes it heavy.
-I can't really remember, as it's been roughly a year since my last flu jab.
-I can see Father outside, putting out paving slabs.
-We've having a bonfire this evening, to celebrate the day an individual failed to blow up the Houses of Parliament.
-Although I am informed that they burnt down anyway a couple of centuries later.
-I'm also meant to be eating breakfast.
-I'm looking forward to that.
-I don't think I'm going to do this Maths homework until after Tuesday.
-I think I'll go put it away after this post.
-Also, I've nearly finished The Secret Agent.
-Remarkably little has actually happened in it.
-The sky is very blue here at the moment.
-And the pumpkin is beginning to look sinister, rather than merely smug.
-It depends on the light.
-My class photograph for this year is up on the piano to my left.
-It's not a very flattering picture of me.
-Or of anyone in it, actually.
-But I generally look much worse in photographs than I do in real life.

[Linda Rhaldeen]

-Hmm.
-It looks like my proboard has been deleted.
-Either that or there's some sort of proboard glitch that takes me to the main proboards page when I type in the address.
-Those people from that other forum probably "tattled" about it having spanish.
-I still don't see what's wrong with it, and they have yet to point out where it says spanish isn't allowed.
-And anyway, it was only three measly posts that had spanish in them
-They shouldn't be allowed to delete my forum, just like that.
-*shakes fist*
-I'm going to try to take this up with the people in charge.
-Or something.
-Grrrr....

[Antenora]

-It does seem that your board's been deleted, Linda.
-The link in your sig leads to Proboards.com, which is usually the sign of a deleted Proboard.
-Sorry it was deleted, and I hope you can sort things out.
-I don't understand why the Proboards people are so strict with that language thing.
-If they're worried about people breaking the rules in other languages, they could always run it through a translator.
-The Terms of Service say that the message board must be in English, which sounds like it only means the board descriptions and stuff, not necessarily that everyone has to post only in English.
-It's unfair to delete a board if a few people post a little in another language.
-I guess I'd better be careful if I ever want to talk about my Spanish class and words I'm learning in it.
-I've been home all day, doing chores.
-I cleaned out under my bed a bit, and found some mildly interesting things, including a striped doll shoe and a poster with dinosaurs on it.
-My parents have gone out to dinner, leaving my sister and I at home.
-Tomorrow, I'm thinking of seeing The Legend of Zorro.
-I remember seeing some Zorro movie a long time ago, and liking it.
