Thunders Begins

This made me think of the following sage advice:

“When crap floats to the top, try to remember it’s still crap.”

Oops. Prior to an anniversary several years ago, as a joke, the Thunderbot was programmed to add a year to the age of this place. We forgot to revert the code.

2008 - 2001 = 7 years

Seems like 8 years and I joined in 2007.

You joined 072002 or 200207. Just add it up and call it 11. But then if you subtract the 7 and take off a 2 that leaves 9. 911. Hmm. Do we have your fingerprints on file?

That’s nothing You joined in 02 2002. If you add up the digits you get 6, if you repeat that twice and concatenate the result you get 666, which is both the number of the beast and 999 upside down. 999 is the emergency service number in the UK, just as 911 is in the US. Coincidence? I don’t think so.

A call to your 999 would be long distance for me, so I’d have to dial a 1 first. That would even things up nicely. But I see why you’re screwed. You’re not only unarmed, but you have to remember to drive on the wrong side of the road and dial 999 instead of 911 if you need to call for help in an emergency.

Haha, very clever.

>A call to your 999 would be long distance for me, so I’d have to dial a 1 first.<

You’d also need a country code, for the UK that’s 44. Add up the digits again and you get 9 but you do everything in 3 times as we’ve already discovered. So there you have it, you’ve practically admitted to being a tourist (as your president calls them).

>But I see why you’re screwed. You’re not only unarmed,<

We’re peace loving, like fairies and Buddhists.

>but you have to remember to drive on the wrong side of the road<

You drive on the same side of the road as the Germans and the French and you think we have it wrong? Did we learn nothing from World War 2 (which you guys joined late - typically - by the way)?

>and dial 999 instead of 911 if you need to call for help in an emergency.<

A monkey could dial 999 with the barrel of a gun. We like monkeys over here. If you guys want to discriminate that’s fine but don’t point your anti-monkey bigotry in my direction.

Your member number is 2366. Mine is 566. They are eerily the same, but of course yours adds useless complexity. We’re left with a spare Six. You can have her on Tuesdays.

If you think fairies are peaceful you’ve never stepped on one’s tail.

>Did we learn nothing from World War 2

Probably not. Late? Lend-lease. If your silly country hadn’t disarmed its subjects following the previous big war, perhaps it wouldn’t have had to rely on us so much for help. Now again you’re disarmed and continue to drive on the wrong side of the road. Idiots.

It’s a matter of simple logic. If you move off you’ve left the place therefore it makes sense to drive on the left side of the road.

So where’s this profile button?

No pun intended eh? “hang around”… he was probably already strapped & hanging when he found the forum :p

I knew I should have taken off my socks before I did any figuring. Seven years, it only seems like eight.

Maybe those are bone pressed years?

>Your member number is 2366. Mine is 566. They are eerily the same, but of course yours adds useless complexity. We’re left with a spare Six. You can have her on Tuesdays.<

Complexity is never useless. Take this

4732(1^1183/ 2^1)
or
500 + 66

Which is the better? The answer is obvious.

>If you think fairies are peaceful you’ve never stepped on one’s tail.<

Fairies don’t have tails! Ha!

>Probably not. Late? Lend-lease.<

Sure wait for everyone to spend all their cash and people on trying to defeat the enemy and then prop them up with more cash for a bit before doing the end of the movie cavalry bit once you know the enemy is on their last legs. Then build a fuck off big bomb for the other guys so you don’t have to bother to fight. It’s just lazy. You wouldn’t pay a football star loads of money if they just turned up for the last quarter of each game after it had basically already been won.

>If your silly country hadn’t disarmed its subjects following the previous big war, perhaps it wouldn’t have had to rely on us so much for help. Now again you’re disarmed and continue to drive on the wrong side of the road. Idiots.<

People have to be disarmed at the end of a war or they start doing things like trying to kill mice with their guns* , turning the TV off with a gun, getting into their car with a gun - if they’ve lost their keys -, emptying their bath with a gun or any number of other things.

So how do you guys see around a left bend? You can’t because you’re sitting in the passenger seat to drive and we’re the idiots? Typical of bloody americans “shit I sat in the passenger seat. I could get out but no it’d be easier to get the steering wheel moved over and drive on the wrong side of the road.” No wonder you guys are fat if you can’t even be fucked to walk around a car.

Lmao, this is amazingly off topic. Hurrah!

What would that make it in Canadian, 11.5?
