Merged Their Return

[Rramjet]

Yes, I know, I live quite near by

It is an English joke that "an area about the size of Wales" should be made into a recognised measurement as it is often used to describe large areas in the UK media (such as the amount of rain forest cut down on a daily basis).

I wonder if "about the size of Wales" and "two to three football fields a minute" can be converted into one another...

 

[carlitos]

Sorry - I was referring to Britain; based on name / flag combo I assumed Wales. Remember, no man is an island, but in a bathtub you can be a whole continent!

...and it seems incontinent ...Wales is not an island either...

No ****, sherlock.

Maybe, but I think you'd have to convert it by use of "the time it takes to boil an egg" instead of using the more traditional 'minutes'

An English joke. The Welsh are the Irish who couldn't swim.

Everyone knows that's three sedate perambulations around the kitchen table....

I asked an old farmer in Wales how far it was to the town. He said;
"Three cigarettes."

If you heard thunder yesterday, on Thor's day, that wasn't angels. God of Thunder was just having a go.

ETA - It's Thonor's Day on your little island, actually.

The God Of Thunder is just trying to build a little publcity for when his movie opens in May.....

That would mean that the size of Wales is 1440 times two or three football fields per boiled egg divided by three (because I think it actually takes three minutes to boil an egg)?

A little longer to boil one too hard for copper tools.

Nor is Rhode.

 

[EHocking]

Nor is Rhode.

Rhodes is though...

 

[Andrew Wiggin]

Indeed, I hadn't thought of that one.

Surely if "they" were already here and we started looking skywards for someone to land, then that would upset the one's who were already here because they would see it as us wanting someone to come and save us from the one's who are already here... That could lead to a diplomatic incident of truly universal proportions...

Given I've seen claims that 'they' live underground or under the ocean, perhaps a 'moment dirtward' would be safer. Wouldn't want to piss off the indiginous space aliens by favoring the space aliens from space.

A little math, of the extremely rough sort, indicates that an area about the size of wales is a square with sides about as long as a crow flies in the time it takes to consecutively boil sixty eggs. Assuming a very motivated crow and soft eggs. Oh, and breakfast will be late this morning, as I'm making the eggs one at a time rather than throwing them all in the pot.

Folks, at post 2356 I have already claimed victory on this thread.

You can continue posting at it, but please stop the mockery and dedicate yourselves only to praise my immense wisdom and marvel on how bright is the light of my knowledge, illuminating your path towards the Truth.

By the way, it was post number 2356.

2+3=5 5+6=11

5+11=16

1+6=7

7 as you should know, is the most mystical number.

I AM YOUR TIMELY TRUTH!

Send money to help my light illuminate the world.

Is it red?

And if you coddle the eggs?

The amount of times I've relieved myself onto the ground. I abase myself before our subterranean overlords.

 

[EHocking]

They'll grow up to be wimps, thus the expression, "soft eggs".

 

[Andrew Wiggin]

And if you coddle the eggs?

Never coddle the eggs. Wales gets smaller if you do anything to make the eggs cook faster.

 

[Andrew Wiggin]

Grrr. I was thinking of poached eggs; it looks like coddled eggs actually take longer since they have to cook slowly, so either I find a less motivated crow or Wales would be larger. Now I'll have a lot of angry welch after me as their land randomly changes size.
