I wonder if this will be as popular now.

[Showa Gyaos]

Will the ones that have been made before this topic's establishment be kept open?

[Showa Gyaos]

Because Stuckey never responded to my request to post this in the Video Gaming subforum, I'll post it here:

Unauthorized Internet tournament streaming could soon become a criminal offense.

Would massive disasters, declarations/ends of war, or the termination of one of the most wanted people on Earth qualify for their own topic?

No, of course not. Those aren't major news stories.

Major ones should be the birth of puppies under an interstate bridge, the death of the world's oldest chicken, or a competition to see who can blow the biggest loads going horribly wrong.

Most news stories brought up on this forum can run ten pages, why confine them to an area where multiple topics can arise that have nothing to do with the subject people are trying to reply to.

I agree some news stories posted are border-lined retarded, but still, this is a cluttered way of doing it. We just need some common sense choosing a topic to discuss.

EDIT: Whatever happened to that AIDS topic?

[THE GODZILLA]

Well I think it was better before we had to do that. But whatever.

Why?

[Showa Gyaos]

Well guys, I guess it's time to say goodbye to some dinosaurs:

A huge explosion was detected 13 BILLION light years away. It was a disintegrating star. The fact that we can identify stuff like this is amazing.

a little late though... That means it happened about 13 billion years ago.

A light year is a unit of distance, the distance light travels in a year. The star disintegrated 13 billion years ago, and it took 13 billion years for the light to reach us.

skreeonk I knew I'd mess it up, I always thought a light year was like 9.45x10^15 years, but I also knew it was miles, just plain idiocy on my part

Wrong again.

Firstly, it's in kilometers, not miles.

Secondly, it's 9.45 multiplied with 10^12, not 10^15.

Just for future reference

Israeli scientists now claim that the Jews are a "superior race."

Adolf Hitler would poop his pants.

[Kubo]

Where would we be without SG2010 helping us out with the relative distance of a single light year?

The whole light year thing is quite interesting. I've always wondered if there's some way to break the speed of light...I mean, what the hell would happen!?
