Well done to everyone ,,, some of those posts had me laughing for a very long time…..
The laughter compensates for the pain… :lol: 8-)

There are four main moons of Jupiter.
If you answer first you must name the largest.

If you answer fourth you must name the fourth largest.

The style and font shall be the one that’s in the first post. ….. it sets up the mood ……
However the colour RED is preferred. ( possible bonus points )..
In other words you must copy the style of the first post…… whoever that may be and whatever style they decide to choose….
YOU MAY EDIT AND CORRECT YOUR POSTS TO SUIT…. However excessive editing may result in a loss of points.

If the four consecutive posts are in the right order and you guys have got your shit together in a ‘ Collective ‘ sense …… I will award the first four participants an extra 10 bonus points each ,,, and an extra 10 points for the person who answers first ……
Remember ALL STYLES MUST BE CONSISTANT.
This question could be worth up to 80 points if it works out right,,
If it fouls up ,, you only have yourselves to blame.
It could be worth as little as 30 points.

Your time starts now.
Get to it. 8)

Hey Seb, speaking of moons, there's somethin' that's gonna bug me forever if I don't ask you about it.

Right before question #6, you posted: "When the moon becomes lame, and a quarter of its size, another question will be posted, and another chance for the prize." I assumed you were telling us exactly when you were going to post...at the time of the last quarter moon.

According to my data(forgive me if it is incorrect), the time of the last quarter moon in Melbourne(Australian Eastern Standard Time) was Wed. Oct. 6, at 20:12, which was 10:12am GMT. You ultimately posted question six on Wed Oct. 6, at 12:03pm GMT...an hour and 51 minutes past the last quarter moon. I hung around here for an hour after the last quarter moon time, figured your quote wasn't significant(!), then finally had to crash...thus missed the question.

Humbly, did you mean to post at the exact time of the last quarter moon, and purposely didn't...giving the opportunity for extra points if anyone noticed? Or was I reading too much into it. Whether it was intentional or not, I just wanted you to put my mind at ease.

Thanks again Sebatron. 8-)

Maybe a few points for the emotional distress? :wink:

Bri Wed, 10/13/2004 - 16:54

Hey Freaky!

I sincerely hope it didn't sound like I was complaining...there were no such thoughts I assure you. Still tryin' to get my bearings around here. I definitely do not want to be out of line in any way.

In regards to Seb's posts, in the beginning, the times did vary a little more, but like you've pointed out, he seems to have gravitated toward the "three hour window." Of course, considering how fast you all are, more erratic post times may actually be of help to me. :wink:

Coincidentally, yesterday, I took a gander at the previous giveaway. I understand what it was like...way out of my league. You definitely have my respects, my friend! 8-) :)

Hi Seb, my 2000e VU arived today, THANKS! just in time for session 2.

Sorry to bust in here... It seems this thread is becoming a download issue for some members. I've heard this page taking 5 mins and more to refresh for some. Taking that into consideration, can we break this into parts?

Cheers!

Why are fish so intelligent?

Because they travel in schools!!

But seriously...

Fish do not deserve their reputation as the dim-wits of the animal kingdom, a group of leading scientists believe.

Biologists Calum Brown, Keven Laland and Jens Krause wrote in the journal Fish and Fisheries:

"Gone (or at least obsolete) is the image of fish as drudging and dim-witted pea-brains, driven largely by 'instinct' with what little behavioural flexibility they possess being severely hampered by an infamous 'three-second memory'.

"Now, fish are regarded as steeped in social intelligence, pursuing Machiavellian strategies of manipulation, punishment and reconciliation, exhibiting stable cultural traditions and co-operating to inspect predators and catch food."

Recent research showed fish could recognise "shoal mates" and were aware of the "social prestige" of others.

They had also been observed using tools and showed impressive long-term memories, the scientists said.
