    I thought the words "sunny" and "England" were mutually exclusive? ;)

    A couple years ago we (Phoenix) went 150+ days with no rain!

    Hi,

    I guess I am somewhat of an old timer (believe a year and some change under my belt here on AD). Anyway took a break as the flamewars and pointless threads really didn't merit a response. I think its best to take a hiatus when you get irritated about multiple threads (i.e. Saw 3, Casino Royale, etc) and everyone basically says the same thing. Anyway good afternoon to all and will see you around the forums.

    For ye Ireland:

    This works for any 7 digit number! Let's use 555-1283 which is
    5,551,283. Which is 10,000(555)+ 1283, if A =555 and B=1283 then

    [(A x 80 + 1) x 250 + B + B -250] 1/2=

    [80(250)A + 250 +2B -250] 1/2 = 40(250)A +125 +B -125=


    40(250)A + B =10,000A + B = 10,000(555) + 1283 =5,551,283

    All you have done in total is multiply the first 3 numbers by 10,000 and add the last 4 numbers to it. Which is putting back what you took out of the original 7 digit number with which you started.

    Edit equations were messed up in post hopefully fixed!

    Afternoon all!! It was 80 degrees tuesday,and snowing like a mofo now,go figure?

    DDP: Better get that update buddy!!!



    Here's a truly heartwarming story about the bond formed between a little
    > 5 year old girl and some construction workers that makes you believe
    > that we CAN make a difference when we give a child the gift of our
    > time...
    >
    > A young family moved into a house, next door to a vacant lot.
    >
    > One day a construction crew turned up to start building a house on
    > the empty lot.
    >
    > The young family's 5-year- old daughter naturally took an interest in
    > all the activity going on next door and spent much of each day
    > observing the workers.
    >
    > Eventually the construction crew, all of them gems-in-the-rough,
    > more or less adopted her as a kind of project mascot.
    >
    > They chatted with her, let her sit with them while they had coffee and
    > lunch breaks, and gave her little jobs to do here and there to make
    > her feel important.
    >
    > At the end of the first week they even presented her with a pay
    > envelope containing a couple of dollars.
    >
    > The little girl took this home to her mother who said all the
    > appropriate words of admiration and suggested that they take the two
    > dollar "pay" she had received to the bank the next day to start a
    > savings account.
    >
    > When they got to the bank, the teller was equally impressed and asked
    > the little girl how she had come by her very own pay check at such a
    > young age.
    >
    > The little girl proudly replied, "I worked last week with the crew
    > building the house next door to us.
    >
    > "My goodness gracious!" said the teller. "Will you be working on the
    > house again this week, too?"
    >
    > The little girl replied, "I will if those assholes at Lowes ever deliver
    > the damn drywall..."

    GOOD MORNING


    Donology (The non-scientific study of donuts.)
    (Not to be confused with donology (spelled the same) which is the non-scientific study of Don.)

    As you probably are aware, donuts exist in nature in many forms. Some have become highly domesticated while others remain very wild. It is these wild donuts which hold special interest for me. I have traveled far and wide in search of the wildest donuts and have studied them in some detail. Below is a summary of some of my findings.

    To study the wild donuts, you must first travel to where the big herds congregate for self protection from the many predators which exist in the wilds. Here is a picture of a typical medium size herd with a lone Donopthor
    [​IMG]

    (Engineerus Munchus) stalking them. Note how the wildest donuts try to hide themselves between and under other less wild members of the herd. Unfortunately for them, their brightly colored coats tend to give them away. However, as is often the case in nature, this same trait often makes them the last to be attacked. My research has led me to believe that the explanation for this is that most predators are afraid of these "show-off" donuts. There is probably good reason for this although I have yet to determine exactly what it is.

    Here is a close up aerial photo of the same herd. Notice the pair of brightly colored donuts.

    [​IMG]
    These are members of a sub-species known as Donostrus Sprinklus which has developed a highly visual coat which, in a strange way, seems to help them survive. The one on the right (the female) is the subject of a further study of mine.

    It is probably important to point out at this time that the only known way to study donuts dictates that said donuts must ultimately lose their lives. But the student should not take this too hard because, first of all, donuts only have a life span of a day or so (though some have been know to hang on for weeks) and secondly, all of the researchers I know of do not ever hunt donuts for the trophy only; we always eat the donisen (donut flesh). So, you see, it is all part of nature's great plan.

    Warning: Shocking photo. Wear dark glasses!

    [​IMG]
    That said, here is a rather grisly photo of a donut predator feeding on an unfortunate member of the herd. Notice the general feeding frenzy all around. This herd was eventually completely wiped out. However, thru the amazing resiliency of nature, exactly one week later, a new herd was roaming the great halls of this wilderness.

    As I mentioned, my main area of study has been the sub-species, Donostrus Sprinklus which is commonly known of as "Sprinkle Donuts" or just SDs. And, of course, the most facinating part of an SD is it's sprinkles.
    Below I have compiled some example photographs taken to illustrate the amazing findings from my study in Sprinkology.
    Using powerfull and extremely high-tech, whiz-bang, way-cool, very-expensive microscopes, I have penetrated to the very core of a donut sprinkle to discover it's secrets.

    These shots are progressivly closer and closer views of a typical sprinkle.http://www.icehouse.net/msjmsj/donology.html

    It's around 30 degrees here in central Ohio. Didn't get much snow,but the 30 mph+ wind hasn't helped any. Back to hibernation mode, LOL

    A good weekend to watch the Masters!!!!

    Looks like the temps dropped in atlanta, where the masters is going on.

    greensman: I heard that Texans don't drive very well in the snow. Is that true? LOL

    A man is driving along a highway
    and sees a rabbit jump out
    across the middle of the road.
    He swerves to avoid hitting it,
    but unfortunately the rabbit jumps right in front of the car.


    The driver, a sensitive man as well as an animal lover, pulls over and gets out to see what has become of the rabbit. Much to his dismay, the rabbit is dead.

    The driver feels so awful that he begins to cry.

    A beautiful blonde woman driving down the highway sees a man crying on the side of the road and pulls over.

    She steps out of the car and asks the man what's wrong.

    "I feel terrible," he explains, "I accidentally hit this rabbit and killed it."

    The blonde says,"Don't worry!"

    She runs to her car and pulls out a spray can. She walks over to the limp, dead rabbit, bends down, and sprays the contents onto the rabbit.

    The rabbit jumps up, waves its paw at the two of them and hops off down the road.

    Ten feet away the rabbit stops,
    turns around and waves again,

    he hops down the road another 10 feet, turns and waves,

    hops another ten feet, turns and waves, and repeats this again and again and again, until he hops out of sight.

    The man is astonished. He runs over to the woman and demands, "What is in that can? What did you spray on that rabbit?"

    The woman turns the can around so that the man can read the label.

    It says..

    (Are you ready for this?)

    It says,


    "Hair Spray-

    Restores life to dead hair, and adds permanent wave."

    Happy Easter!!!
