    Hello CP fellows, today I'm 28 and I made a very special present to myself: I quit my job! The funny point is that my last day of work in this house will be my boss's birthday. I didn't know, because I never remember anyone's birthday, but when he read the written notice, he said it's unlikely to be pure chance. Soon I'll start my new job: Database design, interface design ... I'll be allowed to apply everything I've learned in the last years. No boring days anymore. :-D Have a great day, - coco

    This statement is false.

      I put that into Google translation, and this is what came up.

      High should they live, should live up three times up! They live high,
      they live high! They live high, they live high! High, high! High, high! Three-time high!

      If I'd seen the translation directly, I'd have thought it came from Henize. :~

      Cheers, Vikram.

      Never trust a translator service... :rolleyes: Either Google recognized a plural context, or it ignores the context and translates word by word. Hey Google workers, just for the case you read this: "sie" in singular context translates to "she", "sie" in plural context translates to "they". Remeber that! :-D

      This statement is false.

          Oh, so it's self-reference you want, huh?! :-D :cool: -A logician saves the life of a tiny space alien. The alien is very grateful and, since she's omniscient, offers the following reward: she offers to answer any question the logician might pose. Without too much thought (after all, he's a logician), he asks: "What is the best question to ask and what is the correct answer to that question?" The tiny alien pauses. Finally she replies, "The best question is the one you just asked; and the correct answer is the one I gave."

                      0 represents "No". Any number > 0 represents "Yes". Where's the problem in storing "01000001" instead of "00000001" in a yes-field?

                        As the saying goes, I am the sum total of my life experiences, so to return to 28 I would not be me now, I would be me then, and I have no interest in going back in time. :) I don't mind growing older as long as it means I get more of the good things in life, and less of the bad. :) I know the reverse is true the farther back you go in my life.

                                I had some objections to how they pronounced "Elvish" in the movies... (Just kidding. I'm not that much of a nerd.)

                                  The visuals were superb in the films but they massacred the storyline for no reason IMO.

                                      The visuals were superb in the films but they massacred the storyline for no reason IMO.

                                      "massacred" is a touch strong. I was looking forward to seeing Tom Bombadil but apart from that I thought it was a decent screen adaption. The alternative was 24 1 hour episodes ;)

                                        In a good theory there are uncertainty factors for the "unknown influences". :cool:

                                          Hello CP fellows, today I'm 28 and I made a very special present to myself: I quit my job! The funny point is that my last day of work in this house will be my boss's birthday. I didn't know, because I never remember anyone's birthday, but when he read the written notice, he said it's unlikely to be pure chance. Soon I'll start my new job: Database design, interface design ... I'll be allowed to apply everything I've learned in the last years. No boring days anymore. :-D Have a great day, - coco

                                          This statement is false.
