I fiiiinally got the criticism joke, but now I'm totally confused by the spiderman joke, which I suspect is not actually a joke just some random comic style thingy to confuse me on purpose...
Congrats on figuring out the first one. I knew you could do it. Regarding the superhero joke. Without trying to sound sexist here, being a girl, I'm certain you don't know the details of most superhero mythologies, so I'll cut you a break on this one. Thor's hammer can only be wielded by someone worthy. Check out this video of the next Avengers movie, where Thor lets everyone have a go at picking up his hammer. I love the look on his face when Captain America (the only one of the lot being true in spirit) has a go at it. AVENGERS 2 Age of Ultron Movie Clip "Lifting Thor's Hammer"Wow I was way out. I thought that was a fancy brass toilet brush on top of the toilet. Thanks for explaining I was way out too, I just thought it was a really heavy hammer and poor spiderman wasn't going to be using the toilet here due to lack of strength. I didn't get it at all. Please tell me you're a guy! Then OYo will see my dumbness has nothing to do with my gender haha. LOL. To be clear, I never called you dumb, it was you that said you 'play dumb' for guys. So in this respect, your dumbness has EVERYTHING to do with your gender. Of course there are plenty of guys that aren't into superheroes (until recently it was mainly a nerdy thing), the same way there are many girls that aren't into demeaning themselves to seem more attractive to men. It may surprise you to learn that I don't understand the fascination most guys have with WATCHING most sports (ie' football, hockey, baseball) and the idolization of professional athletes. I do like watching extreme sports (emphasis on "extreme", ie. rally racing, alpine skiing) once in a while, but these are things I'll never be able to do. I prefer to participate when it comes to sports like football or hockey and don't care whatsoever to be a spectator, no matter how good they are.

Just want to see some funny usernames so I started this In fact I am a newbie, but by my account name NOT-newbie it means that I will quit the newbie status soon (in a month) I can get to Jr. Member in the first week. Anyway.. my username is very related to Bitcoin. How would you manage that? You can't get more than 14 activity points every 2 weeks and I think Jr. Member status is at 40 points.

Personally, I like when the host commented about his "burning hand" after touching the bible. what is "burning hand" As in, he's evil and the bible burned his hand. Although I think he just said his hand would be warm and it wasn't his intention to make it sound like it had anything to do with good vs evil, but simply warm the same way your seat gets warm when you sit in it.

I just watched the video. It was funny! Nowhere did he say or even hint that aliens exist, much less are in control of the world. I suppose you're kidding from your wink. Nevertheless, Obama clearly said, in response to Jimmy Kimmel's desire to learn the truth about aliens upon becoming president, "The aliens won't let it happen. You'll reveal all their secrets. They exercise strict control over us." *Whispers quietly* Also, we should really stop posting after one another in the same threads, otherwise Decksperiment will obtain this concrete evidence and expose us for being the same person.

Most egregiously, many media outlets continue to report that Mars One received applications from 200,000 people who would be happy to die on another planet — when the number it actually received was 2,761. To me, this is/was a desperate attempt to appear legit. They have lost all credibility with me. Yes, that's pretty bad and honestly everything about this project stinks to high heaven, but the part that REALLY bothered me was the fact that it would take 100 yrs to prep for this expedition, not 10 yrs like they claimed. Which (to me) means, they expected to receive money for the project with absolutely no realistic intention of following through with it. Obviously it's just an elaborate scam! last month the Nobel laureate and theoretical physicist Gerard ’t Hooft — previously listed as an “advisor” to the project — put a realistic timeframe for a crewed mission to Mars at 100 years from now, not 10.

I was going to make a 'daily thread' where people could post 'good morning/day' and 'good night', but decided against it.

Oh my fuckin' God! Where did you find that pic of those beautiful waterfalls? I just Googled "Iguazu Falls", although I'm certain it's not the falls you're really talking about. My dad visited the Iguazu Falls during his hunting trip in Argentina and I've fallen in love with them ever since he showed us pictures.

Comments from other members won't keep your posts from being deleted. I'm sure the mods think the bulk of your posts lack substance and treat them as spam, which is why they got deleted and is likely (I assume) why 247crypto got banned. I know the thread title is "Pictures from Russia", but forum rules dictate that quality posts must be more than just pictures regardless of requests made by members. May I suggest you include descriptions, translations or make comments on the pics you post, within each post to add to their quality. I hope this helps. Is there any way you can make the cam girl pics in HD? I think we'd all appreciate them more if you did.

I can't stand Andrew Garfield and prefer the Tobey Maguire version of Spiderman by far. I even prefer a Spiderman with natural web slinging ability to one that would steal the technology for it. The Tobey Maguire version of Spiderman was true to the comic book version, except for that part, while the Andrew Garfield version bastardized it completely.

The big issue, now, is, Decky won't respond, hoping that the thread will die. Have you ever known him to give up on ANYTHING? I did notice his trust rating has suffered greatly, going from a -8 to a -17 in just one day! Coincidentally, I gave my very first negative rating to Decksperiment and my first positive one to Vod, today.

Oh, and thanks mod for splitting thread Yes, thank you. (mprep?) I thought this was just deleted. Hopefully this will stand as evidence enough that Decksperiment is deserving of a ban for being the real troll here. (Although, inspection of his post history would undoubtedly serve to further prove and strengthen the case.) While his abusive nature and profanity may be found acceptable, Libel, slander and being a public nuisance are not protected by freedom of speech/expression and I think everyone should be held accountable for any serious allegations they make against someone.

Please make the trust system for business users only, if there was no business, abusers get banned.
I don't get it. You are then advocating to have yourself banned. We've never had any business relation, yet you felt it necessary to leave me negative trust, along with a lengthy slanderous description. Nor did I leave you any trust rating, until after finding out you left me one. This is the first time I've ever given or received a trust rating. This is why I offer myself as moderator of the trust system, because I would not stand for crap, and cannot be biased, if I know NO-ONE here, and will not do business here, due to this trust business model, I know how to clean it up, please show your support, and give me the moderator position as volunteer.. If I can find out that VOD/OYO arte two in the same, face abuse for at least 6 months after both their denial's, is'nt this evidence that I can in fact get to the truth? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=737322.msg10800982#msg10800982Is'nt this what we want, a decent moderator know one can bribe? This is proof you are a delusional liar. I would love to see real proof of your accusation, that I am Vod or that I have ANY other alias on this forum whatsoever. You're simply butthurt towards me, since I have no problem with defending myself and other BCT members from your bullshit attacks and because Vod exposes liars and scammers like you. Something everyone on this forum appreciates, except for the liars and scammers like you being exposed, that is. I know its suppose to be a constructive post, but is that Wolverine Yes, I posted that pic in response to a post he made. Basically, he was asking, 'why we don't be the gods we are?' and I responded with, 'for the same reason I can't be Wolverine'.

http://io9.com/cows-are-deadlier-than-you-ever-knew-1690950434Every year, cows kill more people than sharks. And yet nobody ever makes a horror movie about them, and there's no Cow Week. These deadly beasts have managed to stay completely under the radar... until now. Find out just why cows are so deadly.
Deliberate Attacks on People
In the United States, the CDC estimates that about twenty-two people are killed by cows each year, and of those cow attacks, seventy-five percent were known to be deliberate attacks. One third of the killings were committed by cows that had previously displayed aggressive behavior.
People know that bulls are dangerous, and it's true. When animal behaviorists analyzed 21 cases that occurred across a four-state area, they found that bulls were responsible for ten of the deaths. Cows were responsible for six deaths. What's really chilling is that, in five cases, people were killed by multiple cows in group attacks.
Group attacks can be surprisingly well-coordinated. When they're feeling defensive, cows will gather in a circle, all facing outwards, lowering their heads and stamping the ground. When they're feeling offensive, certain cows lead the charge. One man, who was attacked while walking his dog along a path, reported, "I fell forwards and rolled into a ball and every time I tried to get up they jumped on me; they were rolling me along the hill with their legs trying to get me to open up. There were seven or eight cows. There were a couple leaders."
Even the people who survive cow attacks rarely brush them off. In 2014, a mountaineer and cyclist was leading a race through a pasture when a group of cows attacked him. He received fractures on eight ribs, a shoulder, and a part of his spine. A woman, attacked the same year, got six broken ribs and a punctured lung. Cows mostly trample and kick people, but if they get their head beneath their victim they can literally throw a person into the air and let them fall back down on the ground.
Humans may not be able to trust cattle, but non-humans have been known to employ cows as security. Sheep raised with cows will run into the center of the cow-herd when faced with a threat, knowing that if things get hairy, the cows will take care of business.
Battle Cows
Because they move slowly and require a lot of grass and water, cows are impractical standard weapons of war. That hasn't stopped people from using them as improvised weapons, especially if the other side was dumb enough to bring them along. A herd of cows' potential to do damage is even more infamous. Anyone with even a passing familiarity with old Westerns knows what's going to happen when someone shouts, "Stampede!"
George Armstrong Custer wrote a memoir in which he described Native Americans inducing cattle to stampede as either a distraction tactic or an outright attack. No matter what the purpose, soldiers knew that they had to take the cattle in hand before doing anything else. Another book, tellingly entitled The Uncivilized Races of Men in All Countries of the World and written in 1878, recounts the conflict between the Boers and the Zulu. The author, Reverend John George Wood writes, "The Zulus have sometimes outwitted the Boers, by introducing inside of a camp at night, scouts, who speared the cattle frightening them into a stampede." Both books insist this is not the right way to fight a war, but admit the tactic is a good one. A stampede of cows is a scary thing.
Kamikaze Cows
Cows don't have to intend anyone's death in order to kill them. Any fifteen hundred pound animal can do a lot of damage, which is why some motorists, driving beside cliffs in rural country, have been amused by signs warning them about falling cows. It wasn't so much of a joke when, in Switzerland, over the course of a few weeks, twenty-eight cows either fell or jumped over a cliff. A man in Brazil was killed by a cow that fell on his car. And, in Indiana, drivers along a highway were startled when a trailer on an overpass tipped over and rained cows on them. A bull survived the fall and ran amok on the highway, attacking a tow-truck driver.
The Summer of the Cow
Many people think that the book Jaws (which became an iconic movie) was based on the events that occurred in July of 1916. Over twelve days, five people along the coast of New Jersey were attacked by sharks. Four of them died. It was called "the summer of the shark."
People would be embarrassed to call summer of 2009 "the summer of the cow," but in eight weeks, in Britain alone, cows racked up the same number of casualties. (That was also the summer that cows started jumping off the cliff in Switzerland.)
Two of the victims were walking their dogs — and dogs are often a factor in cow attacks. Cows become agitated by the quick-moving dogs and attack the dog. When the owner steps in to try to save their dog, the cows turn on them. Sometimes, however, factors beyond anyone's control can instigate aggressive behavior. The fourth casualty, a farmer, was probably trampled after a passing fire engine startled his cows.
After the multiple deaths, the cows turned on a politician. David Blunkett, a British Member of Parliament, was attacked by cows as he walked his dog. He escaped with only a black eye and a cracked rib, but it started people talking about safety measures around cows. The usual commonsense precautions figured highly on most how-to lists. Walkers were to give cows a wide berth and keep control of their dogs.
Then things got weird. One list of tips includes, "Remember, you are in charge. You need to know you're in control for the cows to know you're in control."
How, exactly, are we supposed to do that?
Warning: They've Got a Taste For Blood
It's possible that all the trouble we have with cows goes back to one spectacularly ill-advised news story. In 1931 Time magazine published an article about the positive effects of feeding a cow meat. The article starts off by saying, "Dairymen on the Didsbury Jersey farms at Didsbury, Alberta, last week argued that it was a meat diet which caused one of their cows, Waikiki Xenia's Fanny, to produce almost pure cream." Who could resist the potential for profit? Perhaps farmers tried it, and turned their cows into blood thirsty killers.
Or perhaps it was something that was always natural to them. A cow in India made headlines a few years ago for eating about fifty chicks, one of them on camera. In an article about meat-eating deer, one io9 reader with nerves of steel, reported to us that cows occasionally also eat barn kittens. I knew those bovines couldn't be trusted. It's that killer look in their eyes. Dey so gangsta. I'd love to hear some udder stories of dangerous cow encounters you may have had. Also check out this (mildly) disturbing YouTube video. cows & cows & cows
