Yoghurt Posted November 14, 2002 Posted November 14, 2002 That's not the point, To mark a point with an X, the point should be a treasure or sometin... or a chest with some ticket in it. You could also point something with an arrow. Look at your windows for instance, what's that arrow called? a pointer you follow me, so it don't matter what you use, you could always point something or somewhat
Alien426 Posted November 14, 2002 Posted November 14, 2002 "It's entirely pointy!" You mean spot. X marks the spot. Arrows should only be used to shoot at something. Disclaimer: Follow the link at your own risk. Some may find it too gory.
Kryllith Posted November 14, 2002 Posted November 14, 2002 Yeap Yeap, x's aren't use to mark points, they're used to mark spots. Dots are used to mark points, but the point itself doesn't have any dimension. Of course, the x is simply two segments, formed up of points, represented by dots, so ultimately the point of the dots is to make up the segments that form the x that marks the spot which contains buried treasure... least in this segment of the thread. And we come full circle... Kryllith

jimmycracker Posted November 15, 2002 Author Posted November 15, 2002 All right, new topic. Why don't monkeys grow beards??
Yoghurt Posted November 15, 2002 Posted November 15, 2002 hmmm, that's a tough one... Maybe because monkeys have bad breath... You see... Monkeys remove the fleas from eachother, a beard ofcourse is a gigantic flee house

RicardoLuigi... Posted November 16, 2002 Posted November 16, 2002 The answer to this question is something called logic. The reason that "monkeys don't grow beards" is because it's not in their genes! Their bodies and the way they grow do not require them to grow beards. That's like asking why guys don't frow beards until later on in life. It's because their body doesn't tell them to do that yet! It's just the way the species' bodies work!
jimmycracker Posted November 16, 2002 Author Posted November 16, 2002 New topic: Name a word with no vowels. Wait, I already know: "psst" http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=psst Ok new topic: When were wigs invented? Did they evolve from the word twig? I'm betting they did, because as you know, the Hamakaka Indians of 60 BC saw hair a sign of power and strength, and they tried to cheat the system by putting twigs on their heads.
Jack the Black Posted November 16, 2002 Posted November 16, 2002 Originally posted by jimmycracker (I am prepared to get flamed) Okay. Take that. Well this was a stupid thread to begin with so why not continue with stupidness.
RicardoLuigi... Posted November 16, 2002 Posted November 16, 2002 Wig is a shortened form of the word "Periwig". It is unknown when the first wig was invented, and all that we know is that the ancient Egyptians shaved their heads and wore wigs to protect themselves from the sun and that the Assyrians, Phoenicians, Greeks, and Romans also wore wigs sometimes, too. Next question please... :D
jimmycracker Posted November 16, 2002 Author Posted November 16, 2002 Okay: Who the hell came up with all these 4th grade phrases and when: Person 1: Hey, you! Person 2: What? Person 3: You have five seconds to get rid of it. You know what I'm talking about. All these stupid phrases that when I was in 4th grade, I would hear every damn second. Question 2: Why do I keep listening to this?!?! Question 3: Why are all the ignorant highschoolers the popular ones?! (I don't want to be popular, of course, but it still drives me nuts) Question 4: Wouldn't all the world's problems be solved if Earth got blown up by the Death Star? Question 5: Who's better; God or doG? Question 6: Why do we live to die? Question 7: Why am I making this post? Question 8: When would you rather die; at 2 or 90,000?
RicardoLuigi... Posted November 16, 2002 Posted November 16, 2002 Answer to: Question: 1. The teacher 2. I wouldn't know, because I can't access the page 3. Because non-highschoolers are too smart 4. Pretty much 5. God 6. We don't live to die, we live to serve a purpose on the Earth 7. Because I asked what the next question was 8. 90,000
