Fun fact:

$75,000 is the average income where people feel happy. No more, no less. Go higher you have problems, go lower you have... different problems.

My expected average income after graduating is $68,000.

B'awwwwww

Well, I guess it's still a giant heap of money.

 

[UberMario]

Fun fact:

If a person saves one dollar every day from today until the end of November, they can get both Pokemon Black and White.

 

[Fuelbi]

Fun fact:

People who study Latin have a higher lifetime income.

Obviously, you don't need to know much statistics to say that it's because people who study Latin are more ambitious and like to try new things.

But it's just an interesting tidbit.

That'd be cool to learn latin I guess. Be cool to understand all those species names scientist give to animals without a translation, but what's its actual practicality? I mean, they don't print books or have a job where you need Latin don't they?

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Fun fact: Thus far into the school year I've done more Honors English work than I have AP Physics B.

Why.

IIRC, there are some areas of work where the internationally used language is Latin.

 

[Fuelbi]

Really? Could you give one example? Because I thought that Latin was supposed to be a dead language or something

 

[UberMario]

Really? Could you give one example?

Biology, for example, the domesticated ferret's scientific name, Mustela putorius furo, means "little stinky mouse-eating thief". [The latin word for Mouse is Mus, furo means little thief, putorius means stinky] Another animal, the Three-lined Pencilfish, has the scientific name, "Nannostomus Trifasciatus", which literally means "small-mouth [and] three lines", which matches the appearance of this fish.

 

[M.K]

Latin is a dead language because nobody speaks it. It's still a language that is ABLE to be spoken. My Latin teacher went to a University where she was taught to speak it. Although, most people are only taught to read it and comprehend it.
Latin is the Romantic language which every other is derived from. Romantic languages include Spanish and Italian.

Yeah this. Pretty much all of the binomial nomenclature method used to name species (Homo sapiens) stem from Latin origin. Thank whoever his face is, I already forgot his name. XD

 

[UberMario]

Who? Carl Linnaeus?

And yeah, that's a good example too. Homo Sapiens means "Similar to me and wise" or "A wise man". Homo happens to have a double-meaning, standing for "similar" in Greek and "man" in Latin.

 

[Tacel]

Fun fact: The longest recorded Monopoly game played underwater was 45 days long.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Fun fact: I like these fun facts.

 

[UberMario]

Fun fact: Kirby games are more bloody and violent than Legend of Zelda games.

 

[Fuelbi]

Fun fact: Kirby is always angry in American box art versions of the game where in the Japanese versions he's showing a different emotion

 

[UberMario]

Fun Fact: I unwittingly made it impossible for each post on this page to start with the two words "fun" and "fact" without leaving the painfully visible edit note on the bottom of the post.

 

[Tacel]

Fun Fact: King Dedede is the size of an average penguin, making Kirby ridiculously small (8 inches/20 centimetres to be exact), yet both are still in Super Smash Bros.

 

[UberMario]

Fun Fact: Bowser is never the same exact size in any of the mainstream Mario games.

 

[PowerBomb]

Fun fact: Samus' hair has changed color before.

COME ON, TEAM ROCKET

Not sure if /vp/ is doing what /b/ is doing and dumping Raam to troll.

 

[Blaziking17]

Fun Fact: Marco is a freakin' beast!

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Team Rocket is still down by like 1,000.

 

[PowerBomb]

Yeah.

I guess the /tr/ainers don't care anymore. Ah well.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Wave's signature annoys me. It's too bright.

 

[UberMario]

I laughed so hard when I read about the "Acid Rain" glitch in Pt, HG, and SS just now.

Highly relevant to that above clip.

Just beat playthrough 2 of Borderlands. Working on Knoxx's Armory.

 

[F8AL]

Wave+'s signature catches my attention. In a good way.

 

[Fuelbi]

Is it me or did Spire go up like 2 more numbers than his last highest number name change?


Spire X will be cool though

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Spire was Spire VIII before he stepped down from a Super Moderator. Now that he's a Senator he's Spire IX now. Makes perfect sense.

 

[Fuelbi]

I thought he was Spire VII before he stepped down

 

[XACE-K]

Spire was Spire VIII before he stepped down from a Super Moderator. Now that he's a Senator he's Spire IX now. Makes perfect sense.

Didn't he say real life stuff was getting in the way a few weeks ago or something? I thought that when he stepped down, it would be for a longer time.

 

[Fuelbi]

Man, I didn't think the day would ever come


I'm actually SMART this year at school. People are ACTUALLY asking me for help like every 5 minutes in Math and I actually have an idea of what half my teachers are talking about

[Terywj [태리]]

I thought he was Spire VII before he stepped down

Nope. I'm pretty sure he was Spire VIII.

Didn't he say real life stuff was getting in the way a few weeks ago or something? I thought that when he stepped down, it would be for a longer time.

He did, but are we really going to complain about it? He's back to his duties. Sure we miss him Moderating the PokeCenter but he's become a Senator and has more important things to worry about.

 

[XACE-K]

I'm not complaining, I just want to know what happened. A week or so ago I see him with as a writer and then he's a senator. As I said, I thought him stepping down would be for a longer time.

 

[M.K]

There are alot of aspects of the SWF Staff that regular members aren't actually SUPPOSED to know. If he's not willing/able to tell us outright, I would say it'd be unfortunately disappointing trying to prod answers out.

 

[Fuelbi]

That's true you know. He had the orange title for like a week before we see him as a Senator. Them I'm like "wtf just happened here? I thought he quit for life"

 

[Terywj [태리]]

Yeah. As I said, the important thing is he's back. And in an evolved form.

So anyways. There are 11 days left until Black and White.

There are 15 days until Black and White, which comes out on the 18th.
There are like 9 days until the "massive" CoroCoro Mastery Document.

 

[Fuelbi]

And then we have like 8 months left until we get B/W for America :/

 

[kirbyraeg]

woohoo America.

B/W are definitely going to be worth the wait though.

 

[Wave⁂]

Will the 3DS be out before BW?
