Didn't get Dispel Barrier, Got Bolt of Fire in Avernum 4
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Thursday, February 23 2006 21:16 Profile Homepage #4 All barriers upstairs in the Tower of Magi are dispellable by the Dispel Barrier spell. If you can't dispel them, try raising your mage's Spellcraft and Magery. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure! Posts: 9973 \| Registered: Saturday, March 30 2002 08:00

Member # 869	written Thursday, February 23 2006 20:56 Profile Homepage #40 quote: Originally written by Dikiyoba: Don't some fetuses miscarry in the very early stages of pregnacy due to an abnormal gene combinations? That seems to imply that the souls aren't created at conception, at least. Yup. As a rough estimate, about 70% of conceptions never survive to birth, and most of those die in the first few weeks after conception. And of course, in the first 14 days after conception, an embryo is capable of dividing in half to form identical twins, which poses the curly question of when the second soul appears -- especially since an embryo that has split in this way occasionally reunites soon after and ends up producing a single fetus. In fact, sometimes the embryos of two non-identical twins will fuse in the uterus to form a single "chimeric embryo", developing into a baby with cells from both twins distributed roughly evenly throughout all its organs. Does a chimeric human have one soul or two? [ Thursday, February 23, 2006 20:57: Message edited by: Thuryl ] -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

cats or dogs? in General
Thuryl ...b10010b... Member # 869	written Thursday, February 23 2006 20:51 Profile Homepage #51 I believe the world record for a cat's lifespan is 36 years, and I've known several people who've had cats who lived over 20 years. In general, indoor cats live longer than outdoor cats, provided they're not overfed. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Member # 869	written Thursday, February 23 2006 19:36 Profile Homepage #37 I had a discussion with an Anglican priest once about what, if anything, he believed happened to humans which died before birth. His response was basically that it's a complex theological issue that it's generally best not to think about too much. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

How about 1,000,000 people at $4000 each? Or 1000 people at $400,000 each? Economists say an average human in the USA makes a positive contribution of about 10 million dollars to the economy over the course of a lifetime. So in economic terms alone it makes sense to save those lives at those prices. -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Is that clockwise from your perspective or our perspective? My perspective. I don't know what direction you're facing, but unless you're standing upside-down it won't make a difference. quote: 2. Single, double, or triple glazing? Your answer will be used to calculate deflection, absorbtion, and fracturing, and possibly weight. Single. Insulation isn't a big deal, since it never gets really cold where I live. quote: 3. At a hurried pace, how quickly can a person leave your house (back and front entrance) from your doorway? Seven seconds at a brisk walking pace for the front door; less if I were to sprint. Harder to reliably estimate for the back door; it's about the same distance from my room as the front door but it's a sliding door that has a nasty tendency to get stuck.

Wicker trunk full of old shoes underneath. - a filing cabinet (bottom drawer full of financial records, top drawer full of snack foods, telephone sitting on top) - a large dresser full of clothes (with a television, DVD player and clock radio atop it; photographs and a hand-knitted sheep rest on top of the television) - a large window (covering most of the wall to my right, and providing a view of part of the front garden) - a wooden chair, covered in a stack of books and magazines, with a couple of bags and briefcases underneath it - a large sports bag, filled with a selection of clothes and books for when I need to travel - a small dresser; top drawer filled with sunglasses, spare change, calculators and other miscellany, bottom two drawers filled with papers - a single bed, currently unmade - a lamp at the foot of the bed (with two lights on it; one is currently broken) - a bookshelf, stacked with various books, CDs, DVDs, cassette tapes and an old telephone - two large cardboard boxes stacked atop each other; the upper one is empty, the lower contains an old computer.

Member # 869	written Wednesday, February 22 2006 02:53 Profile Homepage #14 quote: Originally written by Ash Lael: Abortion is a hot topic here at the moment, and it's an issue I feel strongly about. A candidate's stance on that will be the single most important thing in deciding my vote. Decide for yourself if that's voting by religion. You believe abortion to be a sin, right? Resisting the temptation to commit a sin is a good thing, right? Giving other people the opportunity to do good things is also a good thing, right? Therefore, your duty as a Christian is to give other people as many opportunities as possible to be tempted by sin so that they can grow in moral character by resisting that temptation, which means, logically, that you should be in favour of legalised abortion. Okay, so that's a silly argument. But I'm not in the mood for serious ones at the moment. :P -------------------- The Empire Always Loses: This Time For Sure!

Worst choice of Halloween costume you've ever had: Australia isn't big on Hallowe'en and I'm not big on parties, so I've only been to one Hallowe'en party. I went as Elvis Presley, and am still not sure whether this was a good or a bad choice. A mythological figure you identify with: Sisyphus. A Simpsons character you identify with: Marge. Favorite Sesame Street character: What, I can only choose one? ... Fine. Kermit the Frog. Favorite Spidweb game character: Khoth. Favorite (English) word: Flail. It's a verb, it's a noun, it's endless fun to say in either capacity! Favorite cereal: Sultana Bran. Although I also like Quaker Oats, not to eat but because I find its name inexplicably hilarious.
