A russian, a frenchman and a british man are trapped on an island. Suddenly a genie appears and allows each man a wish, three wishes in total. Frenchman: I wish I was back home in Paris with wine. Genie: Granted *puff* British Man: I wish I was back home in London with my wife. Genie: As you wish *puff* Russian: I feel lonely... I wish my friends were here. *puff* The British man and the frenchman appear beside him all angry.

Only Germany has it. People are divided into three schools after grade 5 according to the grades. I myself was divided this way and got sent to a Gymnasium, I spent nearly 2 years there before moving.. How it works is, according to your grades you can move up or down in the gymnasium, realschule or hauptschule. Haupt is the lowest school and Gymnasium the highest, Realschule mostly concentrates on teaching subjects for mediocore technical work.. like electricians, some engineers etc etc. I have to say in the gymnasium all the classmates were decently smart and subjects were very interesting, among some aspects there was a lab with animals in the school, the biology class was as big as a university one, there was mandatory latin, french and english, Social Sciences, History of the world, religion, oh and we were sent to France a bunch of times as exchange students..... however most people in the school were completely racist (especially towards one race I'm not going to mention for some reason) but I think that's a seperate discussion. Anyway, germany is under pressure to remove this sytem since noone else has it. What do you think of this?

J.C: The hardest thing about drawing fantasy for me is the details. I can do an outline (even a moody one; energetic, happy, bored) of a creature, however I lack the biological understanding of how exactly this creature would work and where it's details should be and how they would look moving against air etc etc. I have the same problem with dificult things such as a musket, a running man, a jumping horse. In reality you have to really understand all the main physical/technical factors before drawing... I think to make a great strong person picture you would have to concentrate on the heart's beating and draw from it, like blood vessels flowing through the person pumping muscles. I have a great picture in my mind currently... Lord Sinister: Read Da Vinci's instructions on proportions. a palm is four fingers a foot is four palms a cubit is six palms four cubits make a man a pace is four cubits a man is 24 palms and these measurements are in his buildings". The second paragraph reads: "if you open your legs enough that your head is lowered by one-fourteenth of your height and raise your hands enough that your extended fingers touch the line of the top of your head, know that the centre of the extended limbs will be the navel, and the space between the legs will be an equilateral triangle". The lower section of text gives these proportions: the length of the outspread arms is equal to the height of a man from the hairline to the bottom of the chin is one-tenth of the height of a man from below the chin to the top of the head is one-eighth of the height of a man from above the chest to the top of the head is one-sixth of the height of a man from above the chest to the hairline is one-seventh of the height of a man the maximum width of the shoulders is a quarter of the height of a man from the breasts to the top of the head is a quarter of the height of a man the distance from the elbow to the tip of the hand is a quarter of the height of a man the distance from the elbow to the armpit is one-eighth of the height of a man the length of the hand is one-tenth of the height of a man the root of the penis is at half the height of a man the foot is one-seventh of the height of a man from below the foot to below the knee is a quarter of the height of a man from below the knee to the root of the penis is a quarter of the height of a man the distances from the below the chin to the nose and the eyebrows and the hairline are equal to the ears and to one-third of the face Also, Draw an excoskeleton made up of small bones. The size of the bones parts should all be based on the Da Vinci description. EDIT:

I wish I still had those dreams... Is something wrong with me? Why have i stopped dreaming?

When I was in Spain I bought a Napoleon Bonaparte Coin made during the time he occupied the territory. It turns out that coins those days were very unstable and tend to bend. It seems the main ingridient was copper.

JC, replica art is a technical skill. You CAN learn it through the Da Vinci Skeleton system (Draw internal organs/bones first to the proportions then sketch around them, then erase internal organs/bones) after a while it should be automatic. What you cannot learn is the mind's fantasy and interpretation of what is real. Realistic drawing can be achieved by more than 95 % of people with time as far as I know. Anyway, just finished auto-portrait, might upload soon.

As I see it, very interesting to read, however I will wait untill next round to join. Just like I do with any new MP game I get .

Should school be optional before 18?
ProHypster replied to Epsilon's topic in Serious Topic Discussion
Kirkreng, with all due respect there are millions of teens 13-17 who have to pay rent/work to survive. There are hundreds of thousands who start their careers at 13-17 years old and are succesful. By the way, it would help if the serious topics with a specific question regarding aspects that are different in every country would state which country we are talking about when asking the topic question. -

Same in Ukraine. Also I agree, I think the principal should be the final judge of whether you can or cannot leave school. However there are certain situations in which people have to leave school as it is better for them. If you are just quitting school for no reason and have no job to begin with, then the principal should talk you out of it if you do have a job and a plan then you should be able to. Let's not forget there's adultschool for those who want to catch up to school. -

Guys common. The rewind button and possibly the pause button are the only buttons that will allow you to have all the buttons eventually. Or how about this. Get the rewind button. Don't like it? Rewind, get another one.

I guess I should add to my statement . My question is this, if the transition to adulthood lasts differently for everyone (And I don't even remember ever having any mental disturbance during puberty btw) Why the 16/18/19 oh yeah and 21 (in USA) year barrier for people? Because it's simple and easy to use, I understand and we are too lazy to use the proper mental barriers. Better easy then rightfully. @Doomshepherd However the hormones DO NOT stop after the transition from teen to adult And they appear more significantly during seperate stages later again. Though for me, I really don't recall (And my mother agrees) any mental disturbance or rebellion other then the ones I still arguably reasonably have against some authority. I never argued with my mother or father other then for the reason of my own freedom. I never felt compelled to do anything stupid and never felt I needed to boost my social status. In fact I kept only a few friends that were alike, I'm proud to have a manipulative social status among average people. (Meaning I can easily change states from super cool to super dork or the opposite whenever I want to, it's all very primitive I understand now) -

Nah, maybe your opinions are similar however I only agree with Bill's post that: Children =< 13 years old -
'twas another day of long search for good music. The more good songs you have the harder it gets really. Now the saddest thing is I won't be able to listen to all of it fully untill tomorrow . Good night mates.

The first brony to actually post on the forum would likely be Michael Archer, I think I'm the first to actually discuss the show purposefully, making this thread for example, and then very possibly you. On another hipster related tangent, I've been a brony since about late January-Early February. Anyone care? ...No? Okay... How can you even compare bronyism to being hipster . Hipsters try not to associate themselves with any subject, other then if it fits the particular moment. The only group all hipsters belong to is the hipster group no matter what they think since, all of them are after all hipsters (just like rockers can say they are not rockers but they're music is still rock technically so it makes their statement invalid).

Lol, I noticed that happened to one particular person here

That happened to me too all the time untill I moved into my own apartment. I used to practice kick-boxing.....

pk0mmcR9jUM After a long time listening to subgenres of house and the respective genres of trance and techno and minimal I stumbled upon this guy and got reminded why House remains the purest and favourite form of dance music with it's genius balance of all four components of music.

I disagree. Alyxx: I disagree Kirkreng: I disagree Bill Ludwick: Agreed -
Rewind, because if you rewind constantly before death you will be able to invent/design the other buttons eventually. Also for the stated reasons trial/error and do things you wouldn't do normally then rewind... So if you like all these buttons you should all really choose the rewind button.

I propose a test for decision making rather then the traditional 16/18/19 year old barrier. If a person at 16 is as smart and responsible as a 25 year old average person he should not be limited freedom. Although people at 16 smarter then 25 year old average person usually find a way outside the system for their things.... This isn't only about school though, still I'm a strong anti-ageist -

Me and a bunch of guys climb buildings to chill out often and I have a few parkourists among them, and yes theoretically you would be right. However that would take longer and with more struggle then how you simulated it. And that is why I mentioned it, the length of the lamp was clearly only enough for one foot/hand in my opinion . Anyway I was thinking how else you could get there and I realized there was two other long lamps stretching from one side to the other in that room that you could have used through climbing on the boxes in the back first and then on one of them, then then the other. I don't know if you missed them or anything... just saying it would probably be what I'd do in real life.

I want to ask what the hell you used to upload those pictures? What kind of scanner? Or what program you used to draw him... Also, proposed name: Skelly, the three tooth skeleton. EDIT: FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU I didn't know this topic was necroposted and read the whole first page without realizing he already named him > See this is when necroposts get annoying.
