Extremely off topic; Someone in the computer lab here just ripped a huge one, and I was the only one in the room to say "Bless you." Of course I realized all too late that it wasn't a sneeze.
I wonder who should be more embarrassed. Sucks to be the nice guy, huh. :-/
Didn't you know, ShadowTiger - a fart is simply your soul trying to escape your body through your ass.
Dang, now I want to try that on the next person I hear rip a big one, just to see how high I can crank the awkward-o-meter.
ST, that's just hilarious! I got to try that one out! 😊
lol thanks. I did my fair share of chuckling in my seat as well.
Also, the Font Conference was pretty awesome. Wingdings looked like my old history teacher. Sounds like him too. ._O
Also, Rock_Nog, may I ask, what / who is your avatar, please? 😊
She looks like one of the dancers from the intro of Batman Beyond.
She's Death, from the Pearl Jam music video "Do the Evolution."

EDIT: Funny you should mention that, phattonez, as one of the directors of Batman: the Animated Series worked on the video.
You can really tell. It has the same sort of animative style about it. It's pretty obvious, if not from the purple girl herself.
Also, Jesus Golfs. I'm spending tonight on CollegeHumor.
I haven't had a single post in the past two pages so I feel like I have to post now.
‰ <- That is a very strange character. Someone tell me what it means.
It's a mutated percent sign.
There's many more strange characters, like:
☺☻♥♦♣♠•◘○◙♂♀♪♫☼►◄↕‼��▬↨↑↓→←∟↔▲�ΦΘΩδ∞φε∩≡�≥≤⌠⌡�≈�∙�√ⁿ�
Those aren't strange characters; their uses are all fairly obvious. What about these: � ‰ ‡ † „ ƒ I'm rather fond of the one that looks like an F-hole. ƒƒ
Does this look familiar to you?
ƒ(x)
Lawl, of course not. *phails at math*
F-HOLEEE
If you don't recognize it, how do you know it's something math related?
Because of the x and parenthesis. It looks mathmatical, but I've never seen the ƒ used in math before.
You've never heard the phrase "f of x" or just the word "function?"
I don't believe so. I really didn't learn anything in my math classes in highschool. It's a wonder I passed.
What math class did you make it up to?
Probably, like, Algebra 1… I think. And I only took that for half a year, and I was failing. This discussion is making me feel sooo intelligent, thanks.
Heyyy, no problem. That explains why you wouldn't know about ƒ(x), no problem.
EDIT
BLAST FROM THE PAST!@!

😮 Looks like the jar of souls has sucked back another oldbie.
Welcome back.
Don't mess with me. They made only 3 Metroid Prime games, not 8.
This thread is slowly becoming spam. I'm worried. :uhoh:
This thread became spam on page 2 (but I have 40 posts per page).
I think this thread turned to spam after [this] post.
True. Very true. 😊

You know how % means "percent", or "per hundred", and means 1/100? So 5% is 5/100, or .05? Well, � means "per mille", or "per thousand," and means 1/1000. So 5� is 5/1000, or .005.

Exactly.
By the way, you could just paste the symbol into wikipedia to get to this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E2%80%B0
Same for the other ones:
