USAFA Facts Of The Day

[42L5V]

This has the potential to turn into a really good thread...


I just wanted to get in on the first or second page before this turns into the RTO thread, or the drinking thread, or the CD player thread, or the random thought thread...

Rock Island Ranger, I mean only to type the facts of the day as I receive them, I am not one to judge their kindness or validity.

Excellent response, young Jedi.

Interesting Fact Of The Day: Jeremy Bentham, a British philosopher who died in 1832, left his entire estate to the London Hospital provided that his body be allowed to preside over its board meetings. His skeleton was clothed and fitted with a wax mask of his face. It was present at the meeting for 92 years.
Fun Fact Of The Day: Chris Langan has an IQ of 195, the highest known IQ in the US. He started talking at 6 months and by age 4 could read and comprehend books. His IQ puts him in the same class as Sir Isaac Newton and Michelangelo. He's in his mid-forties, and he works as a part-time bouncer at a bar and lives in a one-room house on $6,000 a year. He has since won the award for biggest waste of life.
Not So Interesting Fact: A broken clock is right at least twice a day.

Any Rangers or forum members want to write a page and half in Portuguese on what they did last weekend for me? I'd really appreciate it, especially since I don't know how USAFA would react to the answer if I could properly portray it in a language that is still mostly a mystery to me... :(

Interesting Fact of the Day: John Wilkes Booth’s brother once saved the life of Abraham Lincoln’s son.
Fun Fact of the Day: The first bomb the allies dropped on Berlin in WWII killed the only elephant in the Berlin zoo.
Not So Interesting Fact: No one cares if you find out one of these facts is wrong.

Ranger Zonk 1/75, Sir, Father, Daddyman;

Did you intentionally write "It makes its youngster of having of house. Its in the proper one"? Is that an old Portuguese Ranger riddle? If so, you have proven your supremacy once again.

This is just too damn funny to ruin or fuck up.

Interesting Fact of the Day: Bats cannot fly if you shave their wings, they use their hair follicles to detect perturbations in the air.
Fun Fact of the Day: In the year 2000, Pope John Paul II was named an "Honorary Harlem Globetrotter."
Not So Interesting Fact: Bats also cannot fly if you cut their wings off.

And for those who need it...

perturbations: a secondary influence on a system that causes it to deviate slightly.

My Poruguese is a little rusty, but try this on for size...(no it wasn't me, but it was fun to write!!!) It'll be a good start for you....

Sim, eu pulei para fora uma boa avião.
Sim, era uma explosão.
Sim, vou fazê-lo novamente.
Foi um mau dia cabelo, mas hey - Que diabos. Estes dias de cabelo ruim que eles estão todos os dias. Não o suficiente para passar por aqui. :-)
Eu quis Eu poderia ter passado mais uma semana na Califórnia, mas a minha mãe era o aniversário de terça-feira e ela virou 60 (feliz aniversário, mãe), então eu fugi de lá Cali e tenho que passar um par de dias a convergência para os familiares.
Foi um grande fim de semana. Não tem certeza que posso corresponder a um novo, mas estou certo de que irá experimentar algum dia. Fotos em breve.

No sábado passado, fui a OpenTech no período da tarde a ouvir Ben Laurie, Bob Blakley e Alec Muffett pontificar sobre segurança. E um bom pontification que era!
Então no domingo, reuniu-se com Bob novamente, juntamente com a sua filha e Alec assustadoramente inteligente para brunch, em Covent Garden. A conversa foi redemoinho em torno de redes, a identidade, relacionamentos, mas não exclusivamente assim. (Vou escrever sobre isso em um post separado.)
Posteriormente, Alec e eu procedeu à Bloomsbury a reunir-se com Marc Canter e um amigo na London Review Bookshop café. Outro intensa e divertida conversa verificado e não tenho de provar que os desenhos para a posteridade. Há algo mais preservadas do que tarde, e que é Marc assinatura para a sua ópera limonada (ele não beber chá ou café assim Alec da postagem título é um pouco mais de uma licença artística:)).

Thank You Ranger Oto-Man,

"Yes, I jumped for I am a good airplane. Yes, it was an explosion. Yes, I go to make it again. It was a bad day hair, but hey - That devils. These days of bad hair that they are every day. It enough not to pass this way. I wanted I I could have last plus one week in California, but my mother was the tuesday anniversary and it she turned 60 (happy birthday to you, mother), then I I ran away there from Cali and I have that to pass a pair of days the convergence for the familiar ones. It was a great weekend. It is not certain that I can correspond to a new, but I am certain of that it will go to try some day. Photos soon. In passed Saturday, I was the OpenTech in the period of the afternoon to hear Ben Laurie, Bob Blakley and Alec Muffett to pontificar on security. E good pontification that it was! Then in the sunday, it was congregated with Bob again, together with its son and frightfully intelligent Alec for brunch, in Covent Garden. The colloquy was whirlwind around nets, the identity, relationships, but not exclusively thus. (I go to write on this in one post separate.) Later, Alec and I proceeded to the Bloomsbury to congregate with Marc Canter and a friend in the London Review Bookshop coffee. Another intense and amused colloquy verified and I do not have to prove that the drawings for the posterity. It more has something preserved of what late, and that it is Marc signature for its opera lemonade (it not to drink tea or coffee thus Alec of the postagem heading is a little more than an artistic license:))."

You are a good airplane indeed Ranger Oto-Man.

[Oto-Man]

A Ranger can dream, right?
