Don your Khaki hunters gear and prepare your trails through the undergrowth! There is a hunt about and you're all to be involved. Hidden somewhere amongst the jungle of this forum, in it's tangled vines of general chat, sweeping rivers of news and announcements and lofty canopies of general media, lies some of the rarest and sneakiest creatures known to man (well, codex at least).

Fortunately for us (well, you) they are, at this moment in time, eggs. The creature that laid these eggs, we must pray we never see, for it is fearsome and brutal, it's fangs laced with the poison of board downtime, it's claws glittering with spam bots*. I would go on, but I need sleep soon, I do not wish nightmares upon myself.

It is your task, if you are brave enough to attempt it, to find these eggs. When you find them, they may look beautiful and bright, but be warned! It is only to tempt you so that they might be their first meal, when you find one, report it's location to me and do not approach it! Any egg that has already been found has been disturbed enough as it is, if another hunter should happen upon it, do not go near, and do not bother to report it to me. Make haste my friends, research has shown the eggs only remain as such for a week, if you leave it too long, they will hatch and we will be overrun with the monsters.

There is, of course, a reward, for those of you that find and report to me an egg, specifically I cannot say, it depends on how dangerous I deem your travel was. Good look fair hunters, may fingers be nimble, your internet connection swift and your eyes sharp.

Translation from the randomness that has come over me:

Good old fashioned Easter Egg hunt . Hidden in topics about the board are easter eggs, if you find one link me to it here, that way everyone knows what eggs are already found. Only one egg each I'm afraid, an extra prize to whoever finds the most though. However, after posting your first egg location here do not continue to post the rest here, PM them to me.

The eggs are only hidden in topics that everyone can see, and only in the first post of topics. There are prizes obviously, but they change with each egg so I won't be saying exactly what yet.

Deadline is next sunday sometime.

Happy Easter guys!! .

* Actually, the eggs were made by the wonderful sarah., our (the lack of capital is correct here, check her name, it has a fullstop) rather fabulous advanced graphics team member who very kindly made them, thank her muchly for her time, do it nao.

Also many thanks to Black Flame for putting all the eggs where they should be <3.

Contest team cannot enter I'm afraid.

Yep Eeyore! Best quote ever!

[Mr. Hobo]

Hell of a lot more then 1

Winston Churchill - The best argument against democracy is a five minute conversation with the average voter.

Benjamin Franklin - Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.

George W. Bush - A dictatorship would be a heck of a lot easier, there's no question about it.

SimonTheMime - Americans live, breathe, eat, and drink the fruits of capitalism, and they've become fat and repugnant. The average American has little or no awareness on the exploitation its society inflicts on third world countries so that they can enjoy their materialistic luxuries.

Slogan (I think Marx) - 'From each according to his ability, to each according to his need'

Bob Sweeney: There was a moment... when I used to blame everything and everyone... for all the pain and suffering and vile things that happened to me, that I saw happen to my people. Used to blame everybody. Blamed white people, blamed society, blamed God. I didn't get no answers 'cause I was asking the wrong questions. You have to ask the right questions.

Reach for the moon... even if you miss, you'll land among the stars.

[Selphie]

as nice and positive as that quote is, it is not really true... seeing as how close the moon is to the earth... and seeing as how far away the nearest star is... the only way you'd land among the stars if if you overshot the moon... otherwise you'd end up somewhere between where you started and the moon... I wonder which gravitational pull you'd be sucked into... the earths, or the moons... *ponders*

I beg of you to forgive me if I seemed like a dick.. it's 6AM and I haven't slept more than a few hours in a good bit.. (and It's not drug related... ) Damn insomnia.

Uhm...

-bows-

The... greatest reply to a post ever.

[Selphie]

I can't determine if I detect strong levels of sincerity or sarcasm... but either way your post made me laugh.... I'm sorry again if I came off as some sort of prickly picky prick... not my intentions.

Peace and Love.

Cody.

EDIT: 8900th post... yay!... lol.

Did you really just say prickly picky prick? x3

Oh, I was being serious; your post made me laugh too so I replied in the manner I thought appropriate. Also, congrats on the huge post count. Heck, I'd settle for 500.

I learnt about conic sections in one of the last lectures before Easter. If she approached the moon at the right speed she could get pulled into it's gravitational pull and use it to sling shot herself across space, either by the path of an elipse, parabola or hyperbola. So I guess, as you would be heading for the moon anyway, if you missed it, she could be brought into orbit around it for a bit, except her orbit wouldn't be circular . Then she might find a star ^-^.

[Eeyore]

lol... that's pretty badass....

again... provided you can survive space with a magical constant supply of oxygen...

Well -obviously- for that you just blow up a few balloons and strap them to your wrists, some are helium to aid your floating, others are air so you can breathe. Duuh. NASA came up with that years ago, read up on this sort of thing Cody.

[Eeyore]

Question: What happens if you inhale in space...? Is there an "atmosphere" of sorts? What are you breathing... if anything? What is "space" made of? Energy? Matter? I'm seriously tripping myself the fuck out at some of these thoughts...

Isn't it the idea that there's just nothing in space? I mean I guess there must be some kind of energy, what with all the heat the sun gives off and all the movement and everything, but as far as what we as humans can make use of with just ourselves, pretty sure all that happens is we die. No clue if what they go on about is true about you basically like...blowing up, it might just be something dramatic they put in sitcoms But yeah.

[Eeyore]

I mean.... how can we fathom the concept of nothing...? It would appear that there is always something... even if it is just... space? What a concept... it really brings me to a very archetypal theme of several trips of mine... that everything = nothing... but everything = everything... simultaneously.

I agree, to think of nothing, certainly to my mind, is to think of black, but oddly, I think of endless black, the same as I would were I to think of infinity. If it wasn't endless, something would have to take it's place, and then it wouldn't be nothing. I find it an impossibly hard concept to grasp, I mean, we never really see 'nothing', do we?

Benjamin Franklin - Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.

You misquoted Benjamin Franklin, its paraphrased of David Hume.

My personal favorites:

"The whole is more than the sum of the parts" - Aristotle
"And you, old sir, we are told you prospered once." - Homer
"You cannot direct the wind, but you can adjust the sail" - Unknown
"True glory consists in doing what deserves to be written; in writing what deserves to be read." - Publius Syrus (I love it because its kind of recursive)
"It is from their foes, not their friends, that cities learn the lesson of building high walls." - Aristophanes
