Hehehe, do you know if Stephen Fry wrote that sketch?

And (in my humble and almost-not-there gentle and kind opinion) the randomest creature on Earth..........THE DEGU!

Degus are cute...they're a bit of a bugger to get hold of but they're usually alright once you're holding 'em. Though theie claws are bloody sharp - worse than a gerbil's

. Prefer rats myself

Averaging between 180 and 190 but got as low as 46!!! Let's say it's your computer Adamo

**Edit** YAY I got 9 and a place on the high score table... Damn beaten by a girl

Post by **Ameena** » Wed Aug 30, 2006 1:31 am

After consistently getting over 200, I then decided to try the "click at a random time regardless of whether I see lightning" technique, and managed to get a 29. The nearest I got after that (by which time my method consisted of just clicking through it really fast for the times when the lightning comes immediately) was 31. Bah.

There's not very often you get to say a phrase like that

The llama song, though terrifying, doesnt induce as much horror as that Paul Daniels song posted on here ages ago, which still haunts my dreams to this day

ha-ha this-a-way ha-ha that a-way............

Relig you being from BC should go take a trip down to the mission raceway. They have hydrogen based cars, cars that run on ethenol only, all racing down there. Both of which only produce water vapour in their exhaust. The also have some with ceramic engine blocks which are easier to repair and require no crude oils because they self lubricate and can withstand greater heats which dissipate much faster than metals.

The funny thing.. they can't make them street legal because they can't pass aircare. Did you know we have a minimum emissions for aircare? You need to be producing at least a certain amount of pollution to aircare it. The reason for this is because they don't expect zero emissions.. they instead think someone is trying to trick them..

I took an engines class as part of my aviation course. That's where I found out about all of this.

Cool game my friend linked me last night...

http://www.rawkins.com/games/do/index.html

Try and score as many points as you can in 2 mins by doing various jumps and rolls out of the water. I've had three goes, my best score so far being 39,719. Haven't managed to do a tail slide yet...not sure how, though it tells you in the "How to play" thing...

Edit - My highest score now 77,199, owing to a long string of "Nice entry" jumps, which meant I leapt progressively higher out of the water and was able ot do more tricks

.

Edit 2 - 90,379 now! And I found you get a "Gullable" bonus if you happen to hit a seagull

.
Still haven't done a tail slide, but I'm having fun getting huge combos atm

. Although I think the highest of high scores on the total high score table is about 27 million or something

.

Edit 3 - 104,406!
