Kitten, is this rumour that you are actually Martin true???

Why did we have to wait to be told by his imagination? Didn't you trust us enough to be able to tell us yourselves?

What worries me is, that, now released, Martin's imagination can't think of anything more imaginative to do than appear on here which is what Martin continues to do even though he now has no imagination.

(Is anybody following this?)

I'll try it more mathmatically:

Martin + imagination = fforum
(Martin + imagination) - imagination = fforum

Therefore Imagination = 0

You just proved that Adrian does not exist. Oh well, there goes my juggling and programming partner. :P

Although that was a lovely proof geg. :)

I can too exist! Who said anything about me having to make sense. I'm from Martin after all so that alone should give me at least 40 nonsense points!

~dopple gangs with self since number of existences is also not defined~

You do too exist - but I think since Martin's imagination no longer does, it might mean that we have to start calling you adrian.

Emancipated at last! Now to carve out an identity for myself in this large and hideous world!

Eeeep! Identity crisis! I'm never leaving the forum for more than 24 hours to concentrate on essays etc again!

You see how bad writing essays can be? There are therapy groups out there to help people like you. Many others have forgotten who they are while writing an essay. A maths assigment made me forget where I live. People are there to help!

You are Bonzai Kitten. A useful way to check who you are is to post something on the forum and check the name in blue associated with your post.

This is why I do not write essays.

Although, I think I have to do a thesis next year. :/

Worryingly, I have a doctoral thesis to write next year. Maybe some Marmite will help.

Marmite solves everything. (And the inverse that Marmite dissolves everything applies too)

I have to ask. A doctoral thesis? On what exactly?

It's the Melbourne Cup and only Kitten would bet on a horse called "Shocking".

Haha!

Regarding Post-Doctoral posts, will we have to call ES, Dr EgonSpengler?

No, not at all, 'Sir' will be sufficient.

My thesis is on the modelling of material inside rock crushers. Bet you're glad you asked...

I doubt that balsa wood or polystyrene would work in a rock crusher.


So is it Play-doh or plasticene? I suppose papier maché is a modelling material so is it Play-doh, plasticene or papier maché?.

Lego and stickle-brix of course.

You put big rocks in the crusher, turn it on and then they become little rocks.

There, that's freed up next year for you.
