No, because the stomach relies on messages from the brain and blood from the heart to digest. Nope. I'm going to use the child for world domination. My torso is fine. I'm not the baby-carrier.

April Fool's Day (or All Fool's Day if you prefer) is a day that allows for even the most serious person to exercise their inner troll. Everyone has a sense of humor, some more ridiculous than most, and April Fool's Day has evolved to allow people to display their sense of humor in clever and/or crass ways. It is a celebration of humor, which is why most people find it amusing. It is fun to trick people and to avoid being tricked.

Well, if Tim knows enough about Miranda to know that they share some of the same likes/dislikes then it's entirely possible that Miranda feels the same way about him. So Tim has a couple of options here. 1. Tell Miranda that he likes her and is interested in spending more time with her. This has the possibility of backfiring, however is also the most likely to result in a dating relationship with Miranda. 2. Go out on a limb and strike up more conversations with Miranda. This will be difficult with the given shyness, but will result in more overall knowledge of her and give Tim the option of asking her out on a date in the future. However, this could easily end in a 'friendzone' situation. 3. Go out with a girl who isn't the dream girl to gauge Miranda's reaction to this news. Miranda will likely play it cool, but it will also give her a chance to see how Tim acts in a relationship, and if she's interested in a relationship it will go more towards whether or not she goes out with Tim. My advice to 'Tim' is to not get his hopes up too high, though. Most high school relationships end, even with 'dream girls' and 'dream guys'.

I have a deal with my fiance that if it is a boy I get to name it Albert Andrew Nolen III and if it is a girl she gets to name it. She hasn't chosen a name as of yet.

Any fires you start in real life will likely not result in any disciplinary action here on the forum. Unless you posted graphic imagery about the fire. If you are referring to flaming, then it is entirely dependent on the severity of it.

1. Well, the community is one of the largest communities across any game/universe that I've ever come across. That being said, there are some pretty deep fractures within the community that cause in-fighting as well as drive some away. After the release of Halo Reach the only thing that kept me a part of the Halo community was the community itself, so there's also that. 2. Basically everyone on the moderator team and a few staff members and 'normal' members. I'd prefer not to name names as it would hurt feelings as well as be taken as favoritism.

Yes, I am going to have a baby. lol Nope. Eye color is naturally blue (or light grey/violet as the case may be), but becomes green or brown with additional pigmented cells that are added to your eyes based on your body's genetics. There is a procedure that will disrupt the layer of cells that causes the color of your eyes, leading your body into removing these cells, leaving you with blue eyes. They accomplish this by using low-energy lasers. However, the procedure is technically surgical and is also pretty expensive (they estimate $5000). It's also not available to the general public at this time, as they are still doing studies to determine efficacy and safety. There will be people who will tell you that you can change the color of your eyes through a number of means (including drinking copious amounts of coffee, meditation, subliminal messaging, and even colored eyedrops), but these are usually the same people who would use poison ivy to treat ED. Eye color is like skin color. The only changes one can make would be temporary at best, and harmful to one's health at worst. There are some big things coming soon, and as such I'm a bit too busy for comical banning.

I was thinking about doing one soon, but things be crazy with the kid on the way and all.

We've attempted to in the past, and they've informed their call center employees to stop googling (or binging) 343i whenever someone calls in about Halo. However, that doesn't stop the idiots from doing it anyway. 1. I don't speak for Twam, but I'd wager that it's because of how busy he is. That and he might be all shy and stuff. 2. Instantaneous Teleportation 3. He does. If you annoy/anger him enough. Well, considering I don't recall having to ban you, then I'd say yes you are. Also, I don't get proud of other people. Roughly 9.86960440109 Yes, it is. It's also a video game and a trading card game.

At first glance, the answer would be that there's no point at all. However, there's a few reasons for them. One reason is to distinguish between homonyms (e.g. be, bee or their, there, they're). Another common reason for a silent letter is that the word is shortened from another longer word. Like the n in damn, because damn is from the word damnation. Another theorized reason is that some silent letters were added to the spelling of certain words when education became an important part of one's social standing, so that someone who was educated would be able to tell when someone who was not educated was attempting to pretend to be. People who have not received formal education tend to spell phonetically, so they would exclude the silent letters from their writings. Well, let's see. In the 1500's life expectancy was about 27 years (based on some notoriously inaccurate findings, mind you) and today life expectancy is about 67 years or so. Mind you, we only started keeping track of this statistic relatively recently, and it varies wildly nation to nation. For instance, the current life expectancy in Japan is 82 years, while in Mozambique it's only 42.

Probably just defend my home. Everyone would be acting all crazy, and I genuinely wouldn't have anything else I'd want to do. 21,600 times 365.242 = 7,889,227.2 blinks per year, which means 394,461,360 blinks per 50 years. You forgot the quarter of a day, but other than that, yes you were correct. Yes, he did. Fifteen years ago.

That depends. In normal mathematics, it equals 2. However, in other various types of math (that are usually used as logic games) it can equal 11, II, or 1*2

Nah, I wouldn't kill someone. If someone angered me to the point where I was considering killing them, I'd probably just kidnap them and torture them for a while. Much more satisfying than simply killing someone. I liked the multiplayer of Halo 3 the most, but enjoyed the campaign of Halo 4 just a tad bit more than Halo 3's.

Excellent. *taps fingers together*

The average adult blinks between 10 and 20 times per minute, so let's call it 15 times per minute. There are 60 minutes in one hour, so 15*60 = 900 blinks per hour. 24 hours in one day means 900*24 = 21,600 blinks per day. There's a really good chance that Kentucky is going to win this time around, but we'll see.

I haven't read Starship Troopers but I have seen the movies. They're everything one could want out of a gritty, over the top sci-fi series. The Simpsons, Futurama, Family Guy, and American Dad. In that order.

They aren't always wet, but there are a couple of reasons that cats and dogs try to keep their noses wet. They lick their noses to assist in their sense of smell, clean their nose, and to help regulate their body temperature. Usually the wetness is from licking, but it can also be from a runny nose (i.e. mucus)

Literally as many colors as your eye can see. So more than 10 million. This is accomplished by careful breeding of roses, placing certain colors in dyed water (like black roses), or by full blown genetic manipulation.

If you mean being a moderator, it's just sifting through posts and shouts and making sure everything's on the up and up. If you mean my personal job, I don't currently have one. I am awaiting the opportunity to see a doctor to get treated for a long standing illness. I was given the choice (unlike most) of selecting a religion and after doing my research into each religion I came to the conclusion religions are simply old systems of governance and mass population control. So instead I came up with my own moral guidelines for right and wrong by viewing the action in a third person perspective and determining if it causes suffering. If it does, it's wrong. If it doesn't, then how could it be wrong? So am I religious? No. I am, however, existentialist I suppose.

Over two years, if I remember right. I've made slight edits to it, but the overall signature has remained the same for most of my time on the site so far. Pokemon, because it was just more interesting to me. Also because more people in my area were playing it than Yu-Gi-Oh. Yeah, it is Yami Bakura and probably due to the massive amount of backstory and character dev that went into his character.

I played the Genesis more than the SNES, so I'm gonna go with Genesis.

I expect Homo Sapiens Sapiens to evolve further mental capacity, and then we'll likely lose some muscle and bone density due to the fact that we will have technology to do menial labor for us. After a few million years, I would honestly expect us to look how we now portray extraterrestrial aliens. Gray skin, large crowns, and larger optical cavities. I personally use Android, but I can see why people choose iOS. It is more user friendly, even if it is lacking in customization.

A woodchuck would chuck as much wood as a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood. Yes, but it was a while ago. 1. This is literally on a game by game basis, and on a user's personal preference. Not to mention that the question either excludes PCs, or assumes that all PC gamers have a quality machine, which the majority definitely do not. 2. An MMO has to have a few things to be both good for players and for the devs. It needs to be balanced (i.e. a level 5 vs a level 5 should be based upon player skill instead of purchased gear), it needs to be profitable, and it needs to maintain playability for quite some time. A great example of an MMO achieving these qualities would be World of Warcraft. Players had to pay to play instead of pay to win, but they got a great experience for their cash. The developer has been able to maintain employment for quite a few people while making massive profit in the meantime. It has also been going for eleven years, which is GREAT compared to most of the games in the MMO genre. 3. There actually are currently VR headsets that are fully capable of use. However, they are expensive and generally employed by the armed forces as training tools. The Oculus is simply trying to make it cost effective and release to the public, much like Sega did back in the 90's. If I remember right, they said that the VR effect was too realistic and they were afraid users may injure themselves while using them.

No, I have permanently retired from Pokemon battles. My favorite indie game is Solar 2, because it is well thought out and really fun. Well, if I couldn't be a Homo Sapiens Sapiens, then I guess I'd be a Homo Sapiens Neanderthalensis. Depends on my mood. Generally I prefer steak because it is more filling and can be just as flavorful. I have no plans to do so, so no. Some might, but not all. Well, you're pretty scaleful. Due to being a fish. So 10/10.
