Title: Is he really dead? Or is it a rumor?
Post by: marioguy on December 17, 2002, 07:28:22 PM
I heard Bill Gates and his family  died in a plane crash. Is this true? The person who told me was on the news.

It's ah me Marioguy

I don't know if that's true or not, and even though that most Nintendo fans hate Bill Gates. That is really sad if he died. It's always sad when someone dies. Whether they're Bill Gates or the old guy down the road that no body talks to.


It''s-a me, Mario !

If that really happened, it would be all over the place.
Anyway, I think Billy's a pretty cool guy. And I am not an Xbox fan, as you all know.

Yeah, it wasn't his idea to make the Xbox anyway.




Merry Christmas, and Happy New Cheer!

Can't you see Bill Gates is evil? Look at all the things he did! He broke everything on homer's desk on the simpsons! He made the evil symbol"X"! If he died everyone in the world would know by now.

King of Pink, That's Me!

He's not evil. That's all.

Yeah, not evil- just a dork.

If you include apricot seeds as a part of your diet, you will never get cancer.
Cool, huh?

I was told that apricot pits are poisonous. So, in a morbid sense, eating them could keep you from getting cancer: you would die before you could be infected. Still, why would you say something like that? And if that's your signature, goodie, then I can make no sense of this at all.

Watoad, you were misinformed. That is all...

I do not deny that such a possibility exists.

Are the seeds and pits of an apricot different things? (Bear with me, it's 12:30 AM here. I aren't as smart as usual.)

Everyone has their own opinions, no matter how WRONG they are.

It's 12:47 here now. And in an apricot, the pit is the seed.

"Cyanogenetic glycosides are quite poisonous because they inhibit a key respiratory enzyme that can result in death if ingested in sufficient quantities. The anti-cancer drug Laetrile is essentially a cyanogenetic glucoside obtained from amygdalin in apricot pits."

Well, there you go. It seems to support both goodie and me, so I don't know if it's at all helpful.

That site is way too scientific for me. But it's the best I could find in the little searching I did.

Post by: Insane Steve on January 12, 2003, 02:46:02 PM
Ha, see what I mean? I "aren't" as smart as usual. I used a 1st person pronoun with a 2nd person verb form. See? I can't make rational comments that alte. That, and I hate apricots.

And goodie's sig seems to indicate that eating the seeds themselves will directly stop cancer. You must extract a checmical from them, not eat them directly. I side with Watoad here. (Happy? ;P)

What . . . ? I'm the one who was saying that the pits are bad, not Chupperson. Yes, Chupperson disagreed with my statement, but it was I who was countering goodie's signature.

Well, I could be wrong. My Mom said they were good for you... so whatever.
As for your grammatical error, Steve... I've determined that asking "aren't I?" is improper grammar as well. I say "amn't I?" instead, because you say "Am I not," not "are I not."

I thought about that in bed a couple days ago during one of many failed attempts to fall asleep.

We can say He isn't good, or He's not good.
Also: You aren't good, and You're not good.

But why not "I amn't good"?

I think it is because most people are too lazy too try and figure out how to say "amn't" correctly.

Yeah, it is rather tricky to pronounce "correctly".

Veering off-topic is an art form.

Besides, nearly every thread here veers off-topic by the 2nd page. See for yourself.

When you have a something-n't contraction that doesn't seem to work, stick in the universal but slang "ain't" in its place, and what you get will at least make some sense.

I amn't ––> I ain't
You aren't ––> You ain't
They isn't ––> They ain't

You get the point.

What I said here was dumb. It has been erased.
