So what's there to know about, say, you that might come in useful? Something that we haven't already read on another thread?  ???

Ok. I give you the answer and you give me the question, ok!?

is....
is... fourty-two!  ;D

This is a serious question!

Ok. I give you the answer and you give me the question, ok!?

The answer is...
is....
is... fourty-two!   ;D


That could be a number of things:
- how much is 6 times 7?
- what is my (= Zebra's) shoesize?
- how many brain cells are there left in Robocop 100th' head?
- what's the square root of 1,764?
- what number follows 41?
- how many copies of "The Model" do I (= Zebra) own?
- how many books are there on the top shelf of my (= Zebra's) book case?
but I guess it's neither of those, and I've run out of good ideas.

But like I said on page 1, don't blame me for getting it wrong! ;)

I just wanted to know if deepthought is better than you ;)

Well, let's go on board of a starship named "heart of gold" and fly to the restaurant at the end of the universe.  ;)

but since it's not only geeks and weirdos who know the reference to 42, maybe FaultyDog was trying to put a different spin on it

Okay to carry on what Zebra started for us and what FaultyDog tried to...question, here's another answer!

It is.........................................

drum roll, please...........................................................







IT IS..................................................................................












...They have to otherwise cheese would eat us and women would stand on their stomachs and dogs and cats would drink tea together!

You don't got the question - so he is  ;)


I have to disagree with you on that one though... I think it's a good thing I do not have all the answers. Especially when it comes to "What's the meaning of life?" (ok, so I googled it - big deal!)
I know it's supposed to be 42, but that's WAY to simple for me. Life's not that easy! ::)

hello, Henk. what is your opinion on wibble-farming?  ;)

ballooons...BALLOONS!!!

hello, Henk. what is your opinion on wibble-farming?  ;)


Wibble-farming is an urban myth! There is no way you can keep wibbles in open air!  :o
ANYONE with a certain amount of knowledge to our fuzzy friends KNOWS that they should be kept in a dry, dark, and cold place at temperatures no higher than -20° C (preferably a refrigerator), in solemn confinement in a sealed airtight box. Only and ONLY then do they stand a chance of living longer than the average of 1.3 milliseconds.
So if you're thinking of picking up wibble-farming.....it won't work.

:D :D :D :D :D :D :D  ???

Seems my english is to bad to get it. I'll follow the thread in silence  :-X ;)


I would gladly explain, if I could. But since words sometimes have more than one meaning, it's hard to give you the full meaning.

I'll give it a try anyway:

This is where it all started, rather harmlessly

ballooons...BALLOONS!!!


I replied:

Balloony!

with a reference to the balloons mentioned before. It also happens to be a song by L.A. Style.
Furthermore it is more or less pronounced the same as "Baloney", which means "nonsense", as I took it that NullandVoid wasn't serious.

Mr.Tumnus corrected me:

BALONY

thinking I got the spelling incorrect. But that wasn't the case. Besides, Mr.Tumnus ALSO got the spelling wrong!

So I ended with:

BALONEY ;)

- the correct spelling.

And that's why I said:

No, it's really baloney (that is: nonsense). And yet it all makes perfect sense, when you read the last entries.... ???


You see? It's all baloney, really.... ;D

Slowly but surely i got it. Oh if only my old english-teacher could see my now....

But almost. Best was music. Second maths. And third english.

But almost. Best was music. Second maths. And third english.


I dropped music early on in high school - mainly because of the teacher. So I've only had that for a year or two. Maths - well, I DID pass that one, eventually. English was one of my best subjects, along with Dutch (surprise, surprise).  ::)
I also passed my exams for biology, physics and economics. I don't think you'll be surprised to find out that I didn't go to college (what kind of study could you start with these subjects??)  :-\\

Of course I've also had German, French, science, social science and even Latin - dropped them all, because I was no good at them.  :P

POLITICS and then go for a job in the government. ;)


Of course I've also had German, French, science, social science and even Latin - dropped them all, because I was no good at them.  :P
Let's talk in german!  ;)
I was only at middle-school. ten years. That's enough for me and the teacher. *lol*

POLITICS and then go for a job in the government. ;)

Why didn't I think of that?  ;D


I was only at middle-school. ten years. That's enough for me and the teacher. *lol*


In total, I spent no less than 14 years in different schools. :o

Current Dutch scholar system:

age 4 to 12 : Basisschool (Primary school), which is divided in 8 years. (So age 4/5 is year 1, age 5/6 is year 2 and so on, to age 11/12 is year eight)

After that, there are various Secondary or High Schools, like VMBO, MAVO, HAVO and VWO.
They differ in years (varies from 3 to 6) and level of education (VMBO being regarded as the least difficult, VWO being rated highest). That's of course a matter of opinion.
Once you've finished VMBO or MAVO, you can choose to step in in year 4 of HAVO and subsequently finish that also (HAVO has 5 years).
Once you've finished HAVO, you can either step in in year 5 of VWO, go to University or College, or get yourself a job.
Once you've finished VWO, you can either go to University or College, or get yourself a job.

It's really quite complicated.... :D

Now, when I went to school, the system was slightly different. There was no such thing as "Basisschool"; back then it was divided in "Kleuterschool" (years 1 & 2) and "Lagere school" (years 3 to 8). And VMBO didn't exist at that time....


Anyway, I ended up in VWO ("Voorbereidend Wetenschappelijk Onderwijs" or Preparatory Scientific Education). And now I'm sitting here typing silly stuff...... :D :D

Thank you for your explanation. I think your schoolsystem is not more difficult than ours. But the problem is, can a child in age of 12 decide what it will be later? Think you choosed maybe the wrong subject. And now is your only future to be a politican. ;)

That's the question indeed! Can a 12-year old take such decisions? And if not, at what age should a decision like that be taken then? That's tough.... :-\\

Maybe I did make the wrong decisions at some point in the past, but you can't change history.

And I don't think I'll ever go in politics, thank you! I'm content with my present job. ::)

It was a bit unfortunate to not have you around when the whole discussion started - it might have helped (not blaming you or anything!)
And I'm not sure if DAK's thread got locked or that he has locked it himself. It could be his own decision.There's only two persons who can answer that, I think: Michael or Chucky.

No, just kidding!  ;) You didn't mention going on holiday, however. Did you enjoy your holiday? You've really missed some action here!

It was a excellent holiday. Best was the music in Italy. They are flying allready on a 80s wave.
Do you mean the leaving of DAK?

I'm very pleased to hear that!


Do you mean the leaving of DAK?


Well, DAK hasn't left altogether. Their home is currently being rebuild, and now DAK is temporarily offline (might take a few weeks, according to DAK). But Kyle has left as you may already know, and in the aftermath of events DAK has deleted his old thread and started a new ("Talk 2 DAK" - currently "Talk 2 ") whilst chaka is not posting as much as she used to. (That has also to do with her school work)
