Stickying this for the hell of it.

This topic is going to get so skreeonk cluttered with debates and new stories that it's gonna' become completely useless. Just make a new f'n sub-forum for news.

It's not hard.

Who the hell cares anyway? Most of the news stories people were posting topics about were generally useless or sensationalist crap anyway.

You let the first skreeonk go but you censored the second? You have an allotment of cuss words you can't go over in a day or something?

Oh, and you're just jealous that I made a thread that got stickied and you didn't. So nyah.

In all seriousness though, I don't think this is going to get really cluttered to be honest. If anything, I think people will start getting a little pickier about what stories they post. At least that's what I hope will happen anyways.

Meh. It's not so much censoring. I just alternate between "skreeonk" and "f'n." Do it in real life also, strangely.

This thread probably won't go anywhere cause of all the stupid rules.

[Stuckey]

This thread probably won't go anywhere cause of all the stupid rules.

You mean the rule where if someone thinks that a seperate topic should be made they must PM it to me and if they don't and just decide to make a thread they get a warning?
Yeah, 'cause that rule is totally a hindrance to this thread.

[Tyler]

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

Why?

That George Kovarie IV guy brings up a very good point on the whole Triceratops/Torosaurus issue, though.

And considering Horner doesn't even take his own 'Rex was an obligate scavenger' theory seriously, I think he be trollin' the community.

Stygimoloch's going? Really? That's kind of sad. I'll also miss Nanotyrannus.

Hey, look on the bright side, that means T. Rex filled two ecological niches.

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 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
