    Thumbs up Useless Info Thread

    Ok. I'm going out on a limb here and putting this thread up. Hopefully it wont get shut down and me "erased". lol.

    Here my fellow TG alumns is a place to put your random thoughts. Instead of having random stuff in other threads I have decided to consolidate the useless banter for an easy to read thread that will fill our minds the random crap we think about everyday.
    Rules:
    1.Please BEHAVE! This thread is for the fun and enjoyment of the players here.
    2.Don't belittle anyone or their posts.
    3.Keep it clean!
    4.HAVE FUN!!

    the word "Barbarian" comes from ancient Latin origing. The root word was "Barbas", literally meaning 'Beard'. The Romans believed that beards were a sign of lack of civilization. So all you people with beards? You're officially barbarians.

    The practice of alchemy originated in Egypt, from the priest caste. the term alchemy actually comes from greek, from the phrase "al kemi", meaning 'From Egypt'.

    Calculus is the studing of mathematics. Calculus commes from the latin word wich mean STONE. Why stone ? Because the first abacus used stones ! So when you calculed something, you used stones.

    The other penny goes to administration and the pension fund. (You've worked in government, you'll know.)

    As much as six percent of the world's population may experience sleep paralysis, the inability to move and speak for several minutes after awakening.

    I know because I have this all the time.

    I also get that. Apparently it can be caused by stress and anxiety.
    Now wheres me brain medicine?

    Meanwhile: I was trying to set up an email account a few years ago and kept getting "Name allready taken" messages. So i tried to invent a word. I came up with Arcto and happily typed it in. Name allready taken popped up again, i cursed loudly and added a string of didgets to the end. Who would have known that Arcto is latin for Bear?

    Why cashiers in Europe can sit, while in U.S. we have to stand still for many hours? We are in 21st century and U.S. is going back.

    TG is larger than just the ArmA 2 General Discussion forum. ArmA 2 has a whole group of forums associated with it. In fact(however useless), if you mouse over that Forums heading at the top of the page you will unlock a mystical world full of hundreds of other gamers under the banner of TG and one forum in particular, the elusive Sandbox, is full of threads like these and more!!! ;P

    You mean...leave the reservation? Is that allowed? lol. This is true, however not many people actually look through all the forums. (Guilty...JUST NOW found the TGU admin section.) So I figured I would start one up here where its safe and warm for everyone.
