So the Belly Button Lint Guy is actually Dr Karl Kruszelnicki?!
Yes, Dr Karl is quite well known in Australia. He writes a column for the Age (major Victorian newspaper) and for other science magazines and periodicals.
He's also written many books. I have one, which I also won. It's called: 'Munching Maggots, Noah's Flood and TV Heart Attacks and other cataclysmic science moments'. Quite a catchy title, don't ya reckon?
He talks weekly on radio I think ... can't remember which, but I'm pretty sure.
That's all I really know!

Nah, it's not strange; it just didn't have that word on the 'banned' list.
#353 Re: Guestbook » Math is not Not fun » 2006-10-09 22:12:53
Yeah, I wasn't very clear.
You wrote 'kcus' and the censor didn't pick it up. But it does now.

It does now.

Which one do you play? As well I know there are many different types.
Espeon, I'm quite sure you'll be playing the clarinet in Bb. That's the most common/standard type, and especially for beginners!

I know quite a few horn players. Do you still have your horn, Toast?
#364 Re: Dark Discussions at Cafe Infinity » Music; What's Your Instrument? » 2006-10-08 21:20:28
Okay. So, 3.4 out of 4?
#365 Re: Dark Discussions at Cafe Infinity » Music; What's Your Instrument? » 2006-10-08 21:12:55
Devanté, what does 3.0/4 or 3.4/4 mean? Is it some kind of qualification or what?

Oh, 'up in'. Yeah, it's still not funny.
#369 Re: Dark Discussions at Cafe Infinity » Music; What's Your Instrument? » 2006-10-08 20:53:42
Guitar? Um, no level. I just play chords and plonk along to whatever when I feel like it. I wish I could play better!
I find ukulele is much easier, because there are less strings, they're softer and my fingers don't have to reach so far. And the chords are much nicer to play.
The instruments under 'some' mean I don't have a strict level for them. What about you?
#370 Re: Dark Discussions at Cafe Infinity » Music; What's Your Instrument? » 2006-10-08 20:41:29
Yay for music.
I play:
a) Saxophone
b) Flute
c) Clarinet
and some
d) Ukulele
e) Guitar (bass guitar would be cool, but I don't have one of those... 
)
f) Piano
I won't put recorder there because everyone can play that. I sing, too.
#371 Re: Dark Discussions at Cafe Infinity » Wink Murder 8 » 2006-10-08 20:33:03
Go me.
I'm awarding myself Wink Sherlock, because I feel like it. 
Even though I technically didn't 'solve' the murder. But I was the winner.
And I've reset the image awards for our next game.
#372 Re: Dark Discussions at Cafe Infinity » Wink Murder 8 » 2006-10-07 10:36:47
Actually, I don't think Dross was playing this time, because he wasn't a Real Member yet (and still isn't).
So ...
