[GAME] Super Bull**** (Lets Bluff!) (I like parenthesis) (Is this too far?)
Permalink Closed

Remember the card game from childhood which wasn't really about anything but calling the other person's bluff and subsequently failing because your sibling was a good liar?

My kitty (Saberrah) thought it would be a good game to modify for the forum. Instead of bluffing about playing cards, each person will take a turn stating a random 'fact' or piece of trivia. Its up to the next poster to guess weather its true or made up, and if they get it right, to post the next piece of trivia. If they get it wrong, they simply get skipped.

There really isn't a good way for punishing people, or keeping track of who uses snopes or wikipedia so we'll just have to play nice ;)

FACT: The name for cheddar cheese comes from an English village of the same name, Cheddar.

(okay, go)

That would be right, depending on who or where you get your information from! The encyclopedia says village, but I've heard caves before. Close enough ;)

Think up a good question, bluff or not.

Lucifer was the most beautiful of angels and believed that because he was the most beautiful, he should be God instead, so God cast him out of heaven.

I'm gonna have to go with a true on that one.

Legend has it that Goonswarm administratively disbanded it while seizing some assets. It is rumored that as a rite of passage, a potential Goonswarm member infiltrated BoB.

GOOOOOONS! furiousfuriousfuriousfuriousfuriousfuriousfuriousfuriousfurious

I'd heard they got someone inside BoB to turn-coat.

Also heard that BoB is/was only made up of CCP employees, so they have all the good toys.

reasonably sure it hasn't. although alchemists in the old days attempted to transform a lump of lead into gold, and although they may have succeeded in getting the outer layer to be a gold-toned metal, it would be impossible to turn a lump of lead into a brick of solid gold.

Well I'm trying to find a source at the moment, but I'm reasonably certain I was told in a class once that, in the late 70s, Lawrence Berkeley/Liverpool National Laboratories successfully converted a single molecule of lead isotope into an isotope of gold, but there a few problems doing this...

A) the gold is radioactive and useless for anything other than energy research.

B) it takes SOOOOOOOOOOOO much friggin energy to make the physical-state jumps thats its really really impractical to do this.

a single atom is a whole lot different from a one- or two-gram chip or a 3kg block. something of that mass could NOT be converted safely and efficiently by any means

Ok here we go...
Glenn T. Seaborg

In 1980, Dr. Seaborg successfully transmuted several thousand atoms of bismuth into gold at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory. His experimental technique was able to remove protons and neutrons from the bismuth atoms. Seaborg's technique would have been far too expensive to enable routine manufacturing of gold, but his work is the closest to the mythical Philosopher's Stone.

Ok, so it wasn't lead...bismuth's just one proton and neutron bigger, so I'd call that close enough.

"close" only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades ;)

Its almost impossible to turn lead into gold even 1 atom at a time because the most stable nucleus is iron. Anything heavier only wants to lose nucleic mass and anything lighter just wants to gain. Lead is lighter than gold but heavier than iron so it would resist the process. Thats why nuclear reactions in power plants are the breakdown of uranium or plutonium (heavier than iron) or the fusion of hydrogen (way smaller than iron). Even the sun doesn't have enough energy to fuse atoms higher than iron which is why many scientists believe the material that the solar system formed out of was from a supernova or similar extreme event (that would explain the uranium and stuff found on earth).

There once was a man from Nantucket...

True or false? =P

Ok seriously, um... Question Question...

All I can think of is work... So here goes

The adverage density of any top manufactureses visco-elastic (memory foam) is 5.3. And the density of *HD visco is 7.3

uhhh... it's definitely true that there was at least one man from nantucket. if i recall correctly, he also had a daughter named nan, who stole all of his monetary earnings in a pail when she ran away with another man from nantucket.

ah, indefinite articles... yay!

as for memory foam... no idea.

GOOOOOONS! furiousfuriousfuriousfuriousfuriousfuriousfuriousfuriousfurious

 



not completly.

a BOB officer (of one of their most valued and expensive corporations - black nova) was convinced by the goonswarm  to defect to their side. 
He in turn disbanbed BoB, and joined up with the Goonswarm.

so it was not a infiltrant, but a traitor.
