One of the many changes involved in the paperwork is actually that a residential area will be bulldozed to make way for a highway overpass to the new Douglas Adams Avenue.
When I read that they administered 3000 times the amount of a human dose to an elephant, it got me curious.

It says males can reach up to 15000 lbs, and females 8000 lbs. I assumed that the average male is 180 lbs and the average female is 130 lbs (I know I'm not really being accurate, but I just wanted ball park figures). That means that the average male elephant is about 83.33 times the weight of a human male, and the average female elephant is about 61.54 times the size of a human female.
So the administered about thirty-six times what they needed for a relative average male elephant dose. YIKES!
Let me know if my math or assumptions were silly, and correct them if you can. I think it's no surprise that the elephant died with that much of an overdose.
Why is this modded interesting and not funny? I mean, don't get me wrong, but it can't be a coincidence that you're posting in a thread started by an article by Jeff Vogel. Unless it IS a coincidence, and then that is funny++
Anyway, Jim, check out the Avernum titles from spiderwebsoftware if you haven't heard of them already. And if you have, I'm kind of upset that the joke is over my head.
I've heard the argument your parent has made before-- it's more along the lines of early evolution rather than the witch-hunt era. If a creature develops the ability, however weak, to tell whether or not a predator, prey, or nothing at all hides behind a rock, they would have a significant advantage over every form of life without such abilities. Selection pressure would force this ability to become stronger, for prey to develop defenses against predator, and vice versa.
Of course, there's a much simpler shit-test for ESP/telepathy. If it DID exist, I'm sure I'd have been slapped for some of the thoughts I've had about my server at hooters.
I haven't played WoW in about four months now, but I routinely remember seeing some sort of rogue application that would appear or dissappear randomly in the dock or the command-tab window when I would be running WoW in windowed mode. I'm positive it was a mac-warden.
Finally, we wouldn't be the first. After World War I, they lost over 60,000 citizens. They felt that the freedoms their soldiers fought for shouldn't be thrown away. As a result, they implemented mandatory voting, and it's worked well for them so far, not to mention the voter turnout increase from 59% to over 95%.
Who's they?

A new blight? Are you sure you're not already playing Avernum 6?

No, there will be alien life forms down on their luck offering to do this for us, in return for our spare change.

No matter how hard I try, I can't see the sailboat!
Reminds me of the scences from I, Robot that showed the immense automated car storage system. I'm looking forward to Parting Attendant 3.0.

Especially good read, thank you.

Great, now I just need to find someone in my guild who's hiring nearby for a high paying job.
I'm terribly sorry. I'm the guy with that laugh.
