So I just got back from my bio final, and damn, that was weird. I had to write an essay on why clones would doom the rest of humanity to extinction. For real. We had to use our knowledge of the benefits and costs of asexual vs. sexual reproduction to justify our positions. I personally argued in favor of the clones because asexual reproduction uses less energy, and even though genetic diversity would be lost, we humans can make up for it with our brains. We don't need to evolve resistance to a disease, we can just make a cure. Also, no other species in the world occupies as many different habitats, thanks to our ability to make technology to allow us to survive in so many different habitats.
So...
Plus, what good is a Time Egg if you don't have a Clone to back it up?

Easy... a time omelet.
Wow...now that's gotta be the breakfast of the ages... mmmmm....
breakfast of the ages is totally grits with some pepper and hot sauce on it!~
Okay, so yesterday I was bowling. There was an arcade, and my friend was looking under all the machines for tokens. I just reached under on, and pulled out a coin from Israel. Pretty exciting when you're a coin collecter.
wow that's not fair... when I was your age I did the same thing and the best I ever found were like 6 quarters...
really crazy thing is I just had a dream about that last night... that's so random...
GET OUT OF MY HEAD RUSS! ^_^
If you reach under arcade machines at the bowling alley, you're lucky you found a coin and not a used condom or a syringe.

More importantly though, why was there an Israeli under an arcade machine!?

Why? Do people get laid on arcade machines regularily in your area? And wouldn't drugs just REDUCE your ability to play a game? (unless you're playing something like Metal Slug. Then it might help make you more crazy and fit in with the game more)

I have no idea. I can hardly even read it. The only thing I can read on it is the word "Israel" and the number "10" on the reverse side. Everything else in Arabic. Although the menora (or whatever that Jewish candlestick is called) that's on the front is a another pretty good hint that it's from Israel. 😊
Arabic, huh. You sure it was Arabic? Cuz, you know. Them Hebrews. They, uh, tend to speak Hebrew.
The words on the Israeli coin are... Arabic? I'm gonna bash my head into a wall until that starts to make sense.
Arabic:
Hebrew:
I swear, if this happens again Russ, I'm gonna hafta throttle you.
The Hebrew says "Ivrit Shefahayfa" ... Possibly. (Ivrit = Hebrew, She = "of, kinda." .. the "fa" is a mystery to me, ... and "hayfa' is a city, but that isn't necessarily true.) Of course, there are none of the usual dots for pronunciation around the words, so just forget about it.
EDIT: Didn't observe the space between shefah and yafeh. 😛 Oh god. XD
Israeli coin will usually be called Shekels. Haven't actually been to Israel though, so I wouldn't really know.
I believe it's "Ivrit shefah yafeh" - Ivrit of course being Hebrew, shefah is "language," and yafeh is "beautiful." I don't really take any credit, I just happened to have my Hebrew/English dictionary on me. Bah, one of these days I'm gonna sit down and really make an effort to relearn Hebrew.
that would be tough... i you do though rock, you gain mad respect in my book

I loled.
How come none of you have responded to my last post?

Hundreds of thousands of non-Hebrew-native Jews learn Hebrew as a part of their Jewish education, but that doesn't seem to grant them enough "mad respect" for you to refrain from using "jew" as an insult.
... Not to drag something out of GB, or anything....
This is what I love about this thread. Somebody makes one simple mistake, and then it turns into a conversation that has nothing to do with the previous one.
Never let this thread die.
^^It doesn't look like you'll ever let it.
Even if everybody else leaves this forum, I'll constantly post in this thread.
Well, I finally got my hands on Sonic Unleashed (wii).
...It's....not all that bad, actually. The Sonic levels are wild fun (at least, the first one was). The night stages are a bit meh (I wish the attack buttons would be mapped to something other than the shoulder buttons.... >_<😉 But they're still pretty fun. And the intro video is pure win. I loved it. XD
So far, my only major gripe is that it's been 1 and 1/2 fast sonic levels to 3 long werehog levels. (first sonic level was super short, so I count it as a half). I mean...I don't mind the werehog levels much at all, but I think that 2 in a row was enough considering that they take a lot longer.
So far, my projected opinion is: "It's ALMOST awesome."

Well, considering the general state of AGN members, it's perfectly normal.

If that ever occurs, I promise you I will post, as well - in the form of constant Hebrew lessons, and I swear to (non)God, if you fail to learn anything from them, I will hunt you down.
Aegix: I was going to buy the Wii version, but I heard that it has two less stages than the others. Now, that just makes me mad! They couldn't have cut some crappy Werehog levels in order to make room for the African and City stages?
More importantly, my own special, bizzare OCD won't let me play something that I know is incomplete.
Amaster42 wrote:They couldn't have cut some crappy Werehog levels in order to make room for the African and City stages?
Agreed. Cut out one werehog level from each continent, and put in AT LEAST one of those levels.
That, and I REALLY think it could have benefitted from an SA2 style mission system, with each sonic level having 5 missions.
1: Normal level
2: Get 100 rings FAST!
3: Gather 3 medals scattered around the level (There would be more than just 3 out there, obviously.)
4: Play with some kind of limitation / LEVEL MOVES AT DOUBLE SPEED! :naughty:
5: Hard mode. Many more enemies and plenty of crates to slow you down.
If they did that, and cut down a bit on the werehog levels...I would probably give it a 10 on 10. The speed gameplay is utterly fantastic and needs to have a bigger role, and while the werehog is OK, it needs to stop hogging the spotlight.
Well, I really had trouble deciding on Wii games to ask for this year. I already have all the staples, I don't really want Sonic yet (I'll rent ti firs), and my violence phobic parents won't let me have No More Heroes or Metroid 3, so I ended up asking for de Blob. Any other suggestions, anyone?
There's the obvious Mario, Smash Bros, and Zelda.
I actually asked for Metroid for Christmas. I stopped caring about Sonic when they got rid of Tales as a controllable character. Tails is without a doubt, the best character in that series, and I refuse to play it after they dumped him.
