¿Question #2920?
puffinge: Entertain me. Please talk at length about a topic you enjoy.

TheGrimReeple: No. That's not a question.
ocdspectrum: I like red carding people who don’t ask questions. Here you go.
0Shea0: I enjoy making my own yellow cards to hand out. First I find some paper on the side of the road. Then I don't drink water for like 2 days so my urine gets yellow and stinky. I pee in a rusty teapot and burn off a bit more of the water. Then I soak the trash paper in the condensed urine for three weeks. I just finished a batch. Here is your yellow card!
BOBBYCAN: Shetland ponies are small horses. They whinny in Scottish.
pricero1: The reaction rates for ¹²CH and ¹²CD with normal isotopic abundance CO and ¹³CO have been studied at 293 K for pressures between 12.5 and 500 Torr and at 100 Torr for temperatures between 293 and 650 K. The pressure and temperature dependence of the addition reaction of CH with CO have been measured. The addition rate coefficient can be fit to the expression 7.2±0.3×10-¹²(T/293)-2.4±0.2 cm³ molecule-¹ s-¹ at 100 Torr total pressure (He buffer). A fit of the pressure dependence to a Troe expression with Fc = 0.6 yields a low-pressure rate constant (k0) of 2.4±0.3×10-³º cm6 molecule-² s-¹. The rate for carbon atom exchange has been measured by comparison of the ¹³C labeled and unlabeled reaction rates. The isotopic exchange reaction is 1.0±0.2×10-¹² cm3 molecule-¹ s-¹ at 20 Torr. The deuterium isotope effect on the exchange rate is large, with an inverse kinetic isotope effect (kH/kD)=0.28±0.08 at 20 Torr. This inverse isotope effect reflects the competition between collisional stabilization and isomerization, and is a convolution of isotope effects for the isomerization, unimolecular dissociation, and stabilization rates. The experimental results are consistent with a mechanism for exchange that involves isomerization of an HCCO adduct via an oxiryl intermediate, and indicate that insertion into the C–O bond is not important in this reaction.
AbraxiS: A topic i enjoy...there are many.One of them is war related stuff...i just love all things related to war,and when i mean war,i mean all wars. My dad was a Marine (in portuguese,Fuzileiro) all of his life so,since i was a baby,i´ve got involved with war stuff. I liked to go with my dad to his naval base and see all those guns...i dont know why,but i feel fascinated with all that stuff.When my time camed,i didnt go to the marine corps,i went to the Army.I was an Infantary Rifle man,seargent. I just loved ridding in those tanks,even if it felt like i was a pinball ball. Anyway,i also like Football,or Soccer in American,but since you are from the states,you probably dont want to know about it. Nowadays i work as a security guard and im married to a lovely woman....and i have 2 kids,a boy and a girl :) And thats it ;) Cheers Paulo
galenochfarlig: If you do a concept-historical deconstruction of the 'State' one can actually find that it is likely that the criteria for obtaining and maintaining Statehood actually contains a human rights requirement. It pretty much began with the peace of westphalia. It was during this period that the idea of the State as a permenent structure became dominant. And during the 19 century one can find a clear pattern of states intervening in other states' internal affairs just on grounds of protecting the population from generally awful conditions due to civil war, and other wars of course. There's the first part of my upcoming paper in international law... I really had no other things in my head to write about... =(
Ronnyknox: so there I was, all alone in the dark, when out of the blue there was a huge explosion and my mom got scared and said you're living with your auntie and uncle in bel-air
2amp: ah, that's not in the form of a question...
kapnkrunch: Entertain yourself, jerk.
Impr3ssion: The Legion of Super-Heroes is a DC Comics superhero team. Created by writer Otto Binder and artist Al Plastino, the original Legion first appeared in Adventure Comics #247 (April 1958). Although time travel stories in comic books are frequent, the series is different from most in that it actually takes place in the 31st century (stories published prior to 2000 were set in the 30th century). Legion of Super-Heroes stories contain more elements of fantasy and science fiction than most American comic books. The Legion is also known for its sizable roster. Most Legion line-ups include more than a dozen minor and major characters. A common visual associated with the group is a tidal wave of colorful heroes utilizing the group's "flight rings." The team was originally closely associated with Superboy and was first portrayed merely as a group of time travelers who frequently visited, or were visited by, the young Superman. It was several years before the Legion’s origin and back story was fleshed-out and the group's connection to Superboy was loosened. They have since remained a somewhat popular DC franchise.
DHEK: I'll pass. Go find some other way to entertain yourself.
Decorius: I have been answering these questions for sometime now.
MightyMike: The National Audubon Society started Project Puffin in 1973 in an effort to learn how to restore puffins to historic nesting islands in the Gulf of Maine. At that time, literally all the puffin eggs in Maine were in two baskets - Matinicus Rock and Machias Seal Island. Although puffins are not an endangered species (they are abundant in Newfoundland, Iceland, and Britain), they are rare in Maine. The two surviving colonies were very vulnerable to a disaster such as an oil spill, or accidental establishment of predators such as rats or mink. The Project began with an attempt to restore puffins to Eastern Egg Rock in Muscongus Bay, about six miles east of Pemaquid Point. Puffins had nested there until the early 1880's when hunters took the last survivors of this once-flourishing colony. The restoration of puffins to Eastern Egg Rock is based on the fact that young puffins usually return to breed on the same island where they hatched. Young puffins from Great Island, Newfoundland (where about 160,000 pairs nest) were transplanted to Eastern Egg Rock when they were about 10 - 14 days old. The young puffins were then reared in artificial sod burrows for about one month. Audubon biologists placed handfuls of vitamin-fortified fish in their burrows each day and, in effect, took the place of parent puffins. As the young puffins reached fledging age (the time when birds leave the nest), they received leg bands so they could be recognized in the future. After spending their first 2-3 years at sea, it was hoped they would return to establish a new colony at Eastern Egg Rock rather than Great Island. Because this was the first time an attempt had been made to restore a puffin colony, the outcome was unknown. Between 1973 and 1986, 954 young puffins were transplanted from Great Island to Eastern Egg Rock and 914 of these successfully fledged. Transplanted puffins began returning to Eastern Egg Rock in June of 1977. To lure them ashore and encourage the birds to explore their home, wooden puffin decoys were positioned atop large boulders. These were readily visited by the curious young birds, which often sat with the models and pecked at their stiff wooden beaks. The number of young puffins slowly increased. In 1981, four pairs nested beneath boulders at the edge of the island and the colony has since increased to 37 pairs in 2001. In 1984, National Audubon Society and the Canadian Wildlife Service began a similar puffin restoration project at Seal Island National Wildlife Refuge in outer Penobscot Bay (6 miles east of Matinicus Rock). Hundreds of puffins once nested at this large mid-coast Maine puffin colony, but hunting for food and feathers decimated this colony by 1887. Between 1984 and 1989, 950 puffin chicks were transplanted from Great Island Newfoundland, to Seal Island and 912 of these fledged. Seven pairs returned to nest in 1992 and the colony has rapidly increased to 145 pairs by 2001. National Audubon biologists have also developed techniques for managing terns and storm-petrels, species that also have declined in recent years. Techniques such as gull and vegetation control, use of tern decoys, and tape recordings of courtship sounds broadcast from the islands are helping to restore colonies. These efforts are so successful, that in recent years, Eastern Egg Rock has become the largest Common, Arctic and Roseate Tern colony in Maine. These techniques have also helped to protect the terns at Matinicus Rock and establish new tern colonies at Seal Island, Stratton Island (Saco Bay), Jenny Island (Casco Bay), and Pond Island (Kennebec River). These methods are also proving useful for helping endangered seabirds in the Galapagos Islands of Ecuador (Dark-rumped Petrels), California (Common Murres) and Quebec (Northern Gannets). Restoration of seabird colonies takes years of persistent work, since so many factors influencing success are beyond the control of researchers. For example, young puffins must find ample food and clean waters while avoiding predators. Unfortunately, oil spills, depleted fish stocks, entanglement in fishing nets and predation by gulls decrease the number of surviving birds. Considering these odds, the establishment of new puffin and tern colonies through active management is especially exciting. Project Puffin has a year round staff of seven which increases to include more than 50 biologists and researchers during the seabird breeding season in spring and summer. The project is based in Ithaca, New York and the Todd Wildlife Sanctuary on mid-coast Maine. http://www.audubon.org/
Drafey: Ok.... I just spoke for about a half hour on something really neat.... did you get all that?

vampywife: I don't think this will be very entertaining for you, as I enjoy the topic of Psychological disorders. They are all very interesting, and sometimes pretty scary. I think everyone has a favorite disorder they like to diagnose people with (it's usually Schizophrenia), but in reality, there are so many disorders, the chosen one is often incorrect. Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder is another popular one to suggest your friends are, however, there are two types of Obsessive-Compulsive. There is a disorder and a personality disorder, which is far worse. Often people with OCD also have OCPD, but not always. Sometimes, people you think have OCD are just anal retentive due to strict potty-training practices as a young child. Anal retentiveness is fun, really, as things are so much more organized. For example, if you want to watch a specific movie, you can go right to it because it is alphabetized or placed by genre instead of going through the entire collection in search for it. Another favorite of mine is the group of Paraphilias--these are sexual disorders ranging from sexual sadism to necrophilia. You should really study this topic more in depth when you get a chance. Have a happy day :)
Cromaa: OK.
MisterCranky: I can do a few tricks...some old, and then some new tricks. I'm very versatile! And...if you're REAL good...well, I really just don't feel like keeping up that charade any longer.

brainrob: I've finished talking now. Were you entertained?
TrimChris: Ok.
keldrak: i like fudge
bigbadsteve: i really enjoy jumping from one subject to another in conversation. did you know that ted nugent has never done drugs? not even once. so, was that a bong that jabba the hutt was using in return of the jedi? cause it sure looked like it. why do star wars questions annoy scott reed so much? does he hate star wars, or just the questions. i actually did see him give a real answer to one once. i was quite shocked. not once did he mention his hatred of star wars questions. ya know, i just happened to look outside(i am at work) and i saw a shopping cart full of pop cans. it had an american flag drapped over it. i wonder if it belongs to a homeless person. there sure are a lot of them around here. its almost like someone dropped a busload of them off. speaking of work, yesterday, there was this new girl at the restaurant next door and just for kicks, i started asking her geekquestions. she was actually rather amused by them, which kind of surpised me. now the phone just rang, but no one was there. dont you hate that?
steef: ribs, Adam had'em
Cyberjunk: I like to practise my nonsensical Latin: In non urna. Pellentesque ultricies turpis ac wisi. Nunc sit amet erat. Nulla facilisi. Praesent blandit mauris id odio. Etiam ornare, justo ac ullamcorper pulvinar, diam orci consectetuer nulla, a rutrum lectus nisl in lorem. Integer lacinia diam ac tellus. Nunc venenatis lobortis sapien. Aliquam dapibus tincidunt enim. Donec pharetra fringilla sem. Praesent euismod purus. Etiam ipsum dolor, semper vel, ornare ac, euismod vel, magna. Nam ultricies.Sed id quam vitae orci suscipit imperdiet. Suspendisse est libero, ornare ut, lacinia nec, eleifend ac, arcu. Vivamus elit tellus, suscipit ac, luctus nec, sagittis ac, ipsum. Integer tempor. Fusce et diam sit amet neque faucibus adipiscing. Donec iaculis sodales ante. Vivamus leo orci, placerat ut, placerat id, volutpat non, neque. Etiam venenatis sollicitudin tellus. Fusce vitae arcu in leo venenatis vestibulum. Vivamus dictum urna ut purus. Maecenas nec nulla ut lorem sagittis lobortis.
puffinge: I love the Billboard singles chart. I know who made almost every hit, especially in the 60s but I'm also good in the 50s and 70s and decent in the 80s. People quiz me all the time, and I generally do well. Did you know that CCR had 5 songs reach number 2, without ever having a #1? The Beatles record streak for weeks holding the #1 position was broken by Louis Armstrong with Hello Dolly. If you have any interest in the charts, let's talk about it sometime.
vetinari7878: I love uchronia, or in layman's terms, alternate history. You know, the stories where history went in a totally different direction, like the South winning the American Civil War, or the Nazis winning WWII. Two famous books about this topic are "The Man In The High Castle" and "Fatherland". Anyway, I like it a lot because it mixes SF and history, which I love. There are so many interesting possible divergence points in history! I wrote some short alternate histories when I was younger. The weirdest was one where the Superga plane crash (the one in 1949 where the whole Torino football team died) never happened. It ended with Beograd being obliterated by an A-bomb in the 1970s (don't ask!). If you are interested in role-playing and alternate history, I suggest you read both "GURPS Alternate Earths" sourcebooks. They're pretty good.
Unitbuster: Did you know that ants actually have 2 stomaches? The first stomache is referred to as the crop, or group stomache, and is used solely for storage purposes. If another ant comes along and needs food, the ant with food in its crop can regurgitate it to save its fellow ant from starvation. The regurgitation process is called trophilaxis. The second stomache is the normal one that digests food. If the ant gets hungry, it will send food from its crop to its stomache and digest it. This has been a random smattering of facts from the myrmicology department. Thank you.
erli: I'm resigning from my current job and will be earning big bucks soon. They say money isn't everything but there is something very comforting about riding in a top-down Benz
mrbeankc: Once upon a time there were three bears....
POvidiusNaso: How about word origins. Did you know that the word "fromage" in French, meaning "cheese," comes from the Latin for "form"? Okay, another one. Squirrel comes from two Greek words, "shadow" and "tail." The word "joy" is derived from Latin's "gaudeo", which means "I rejoice." The word "palace" comes from the Palatine hill in Rome, where Augustus lived. "Leopard" means "lion-panther." Homer was believed to have been a hostage once because his name means "hostage." Vergil was called "parthenos," which means "maiden" because his name is similar to "virgo" and he liked boys.
meshuggener: You know I like frogs. I can't talk about them though.
Mease19: I really like taking baths. Baths are awsome. I like to add some bubble bath mix in, it makes you smell nice the rest of the day. I like really big bath tubs. They allow me to sit sideways and watch movies on my laptop. I also like to have some wine or other fruity beverage and perhaps grapes or toast. The best part of baths though, is pulling the plug and letting the water drain and feeling the cold from the water line slowly go down your body. Then its time for the towel! I love baths. Hope this was entertaining.
