[color=crimson] Here's some radnom facts you may not know. Soft drinks are technically flat until the bottle is opened. A shaken bottle will only "fizz up" once it is opened because of this. Leather is outlawed in India, since the production of it involves killing cows, considered sacred in Hinduism. You have a higher chance of going bald, if your hand is bigger than your face. [/color]

[color=crimson] I'm in the minority of people who like the zoom-in feature. I think it's pretty cool and adds something more to an already outstanding animation. Though, when they're all together like that and zooming at different times, it can be a little distracting. Having them each on seperate lines would help.[/color]

[color=crimson] [b]Teacher:[/b] Alright, Jimmy, your book report now. Jimmy: Yeah! (laughs) this-this-this-this book is claaled, claw of the wind! It's about talking dogs! Freeaky faar out maan!

[b]Teahcer:[/b] The dog's thoughts manifest in the book, actually, and they don't really talk, although if Disney ever got a hold of the movie rights they probably would. Not to mention you'e misspelled every word that's come out of your mouth, which I though would be impossible since you aren't writing anything! This is a sure fire failure, young man! [b]Jimmy:[/b] Woah, so the dog's thoughts manifest? Then, he can kreate things wiht his mind! FaaaaaR Out! [b]Teacher:[/b] You're either very dumb, or very stoned.

[color=crimson] I picked "Through the Fire" by Christian metal band, Day of Fire, it's a great rock track and it's lyrics are sufficently uplifting and spiritual to boot. [quote] [i]Day Of Fire Lyrics[/i] [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]Walk in the flame again, I'll be there to hold your hand, Keeping you safe until the end And when the flood begins, I'll be there with you to stand, Walking in faith until the end[/size][/font] [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]Chorus: I see you through the flood, See you through the fire, See you through the storms-a-raging.[/size][/font] [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]Walking the darkest rain I cover you by my name, A shelter inside your world of pain Step on the waters waves Coming to me by faith I am the light of better days[/size][/font] [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2](Chorus)[/size][/font] [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]I see you through the flood, I see you through the fire, I see you thorough, the storms are raging[/size][/font] [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]don't be afraid I'll never leave you lying Forever yours[/size][/font] [font=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][size=2]Forever yours Forever yours I am[/quote][/size][/font][/color]

[QUOTE=Syrius] Random Fact #1: The sport rugby is an all amateur sport, you do not get paid to play it, because their is no "going pro" You actually have to pay to play it. Pay for all of your gear, etc... And if you happen to get hurt, which chances are you will, you better hope you have good insurance, because they will not pay for your hospital bill. However there is a league in England and soley in England where you are paid to play it as a career type of thing, but It has its own rules, and is different. [/QUOTE] [color=crimson] Actually, players in New Zealand, South Africa, and Australia [i]do[/i] get paid for 1st XV and representational Rugby. Rugby is a professional sport where I come from, and it's big business. I'm pretty sure that players in the top teams get medical as well. [quote=Ziggy Stardust][font=Arial][color=Sienna] To expand on that, the original Beetle was rather ugly. Adolf was the one who gave it the cute features and curves that make it the greatest selling car in existance. [/quote] Adolf Herbie? Whoever designed the beetle, despot or otherwise, the thing's still cute. [quote][/color][/font]In Iowa, if three indians are walking down the street, they are considered a war party and can legally be shot.[/quote] Wow, I wonder why, in the days when the "Indian" is now the Native American, some of these laws haven't been amended, I'd would not be living in Iowa if I was one of "dem injuns!"[/color]

[quote name='Prick Wizard']i think that it's generally accepted that elves do exist. if elves do not exist then how come hundreds of non-fiction fantasy novels talk of the exact same race of people and often all describe them as having pointy ears and magical powers.it's far too much of a coincidence to think otherwise.[/quote] [color=crimson] I think it's generally accepted that [b]Chewbacca [/b]existed as well, the proof is right there, in all the Star Wars EU novels, online thesis and even those diehards who dress up as him in conventions, they must have had one wookie-acious encounter. Since so many people have written about Chewbacca, denying his existence would be a fallacy! Plus, there are pictures of him too, and video! Doesn't mean the crop circles were of Wookie creation, though. ;)[/color]

Donald Rumsfeld considers the ramifications of accepting Dick Cheney's offer to go out on a weekend quail hunt.

[color=crimson] It's no big deal for me, just wondered why with all the avatars Matrix has it was never given it's own category. I think another soultion that would work to pad-out the plethora of Matrix avatars would be to make some more movies ones up to add movie variety. I'll see what I can do in regards to submitting some.[/color]

[color=crimson] Okay, here's a goodie.... Start with Bill O'Reilly shooting a quail, then have Dick Cheney shoot him, and go "damn, now I've shot the greatest proponent of our cause!" and make his caricature all upset and crying. then have Bill whimper from the ground. "I't's okay mate, I'll tell them it was Kerry." Have John Kerry in the final frame say something random like "I shot an owl!" It's a hoot and a holler, and a sure-fire hit, excuse the puns. :animeswea[/color]

[b][color=crimson]OtakuBoards.com Vs. OtakuBoard.com:[/color][/b][color=crimson] The latter is offline now, but this is from any timeline, right? I can't recall how many times I left out the "S" and got scarred for life at what I saw... The crab-mascot thingy still creeps me out. :( [b]Ronald McDonald Vs. Old McDonald:[/b] One owns a farm, eieieio, and one is the mascot for a huge corporate entity that uses a lot of cow. The stipulation being that if Old McDonald loses, Ronald gets the old farm and, instead of continuing to host a variety of animals , it would become a bovine-exclusive farm. If Old McDonald wins, Ronald has to convert to Bhudism, and forgo beef from all mcDonald's product. [b] Fox News Channel Vs. Cable News Network:[/b] News Corp's finest duke it out against FOX's hot-shots over Election '08. Will Fox once again prevail with it's unbiased, balanced and fair approach? Or will the CNN's slants and leans prove a slippery slope? [b]Charles Vs. n00b wannabee image posters:[/b] There is only one image poster around here, seeing Charles put wannabees in their place should prove to be the highlight of any Celebrity deathmatch super-smash melee!

[quote name='Retribution][size=1']Superior technology that allows for these patterns to be layed in a fraction of a nanosecond by lasers from trillions of lightyears away?[/size][/quote] [color=crimson] Exactly, they're doing this to curb their boredom, watch us freak out and all. Sure, they could vanquish us in a micro-second, and they've probably done that to about a bajillion other races in the galaxy. Figured if they do that here, then they'd just end up bored again, searching around for the next race to f around with.[/color]

[color=crimson] This theory give the alien concept credibility. But in all seriousness, they're most probably tractored in by an attention seeking farmer, or prankster, something along those lines. After all, why would aliens be so hell-bent on forming mysterious patterns in corn? Too much time on their hands, boredom?[/color]

[color=crimson] I feel like the OtakuBoard's avatar gallery could do with a little adjusting. I'm suggesting that, since there are enough Matrix avatars to sink a ship in the "movies" category, that a seperate gallery be created for them. We, after all, have galleries that consist of 4 avatars at the least. I suggest this because I feel like the other movies avatars are drowned out by them, you get a few Kill Bill ones then pages of Matrix ones, you could be forgiven for thinking that the rest of the gallery consisted of Matrix Avatars solely. You could argue that's because no-one has made movies avatars that preceed the letter M, but in the end, I feel that there is ample reason to give the Matrix it's own little space in the avatars categories.[/color]

[color=crimson] It's about time I won one of these... [img]http://img155.imageshack.us/img155/5265/dogplayingpiano3ry.jpg[/img] [/color]

[color=crimson] I'm not an Otaku per se, but I laugh in the cinema if the joke is funny enough, hell, I'll even laugh so hard as to fall out of my seat if the joke is an absolute gem. The thing is, there isn't that much funny in a typical movie, probably a good thing because I don't exactly want to die from terminal stomach cramps or something. Most movies pack in lots of chuckle moments, though.[/color]

[color=crimson] It's pretty decent, but I wouldn't be using it simply because of the "Made with magicsig.com" text that marks every sig it makes. If the text was more un-evasive like it was perhaps plain white and smaller, it would be much, much better.[/color]

[color=crimson] I'd say, if there are no abnormal suicide rate statistics fro Valentines day, there are no abnormal suicide rates. It's like the Christmas suicide urban legend, which was debunked by Snopes.com. As the legend goes, "a holiday or special day like Valentines which epmhasises togetherness and family/love will inevitably greaten the pain of those who do not have that special someone, driving many to end it all." However, there is no fact behind this assumption Though it is an easy conclusion to come to, it is most likely that suicide rates stay steady as most victims will procrastinate and mull over the though of taking their own life before going ahead on the plan, unless they're completely sadist and 100% self-loathing.[/color]

[color=crimson] It's quite a relief to know that this comic's humor is different to that in Slackers in Slacks, last thing I want this comic to be is a carbon copy. Here's my first stab at political humor, you know the incident, now see the comic! [img]http://img47.imageshack.us/img47/6778/quail00017ko.jpg[/img] My next comic will try the multi-celled approach, it might make the more complex jokes and punchlines easier to flesh out. Thanks for the comments and crit, much appreciated, keep them coming. ;) [/color]

[color=crimson]Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you, SuperPlant, an almost daily comic that took it's inspiration from DW's Slackers in Slacks, but didn't take any of it's class, art style or decency! Well, it originally used the Akbar font exactly like Slackers, but I changed that along with the wacky borders because Comic Sans and straight borders are easier to work with... Originally set without main character until I made one out of SuperPlant, the earlier comics are totally random. Here are the first five....
