    Non internet types are still ignorant to this amazing revelation.

    How dare South Park fabricate such a lie! :mad:
    Thanked so many times it's not funny.

    "everyone gets respect;white people,black people,mexicans" Wow,Did I miss the wave of hate crimes against ginger folk? oh wait,that was every other race.

    I'll say it now,I run with the whole "gingers don't have souls" thing,it covers up the reality of what a blatant assh*le I am quite well.I'll admit I get slagged about being a ginger,quite a lot,I've developed a reflex of replying with a hurtful and deeply personal comment[or a quick one liner,depending on the mood]

    and hey,ginger beats my other nickname; Jailbait,it's such a long story I don't even feel like typing it.


    warning:the above statement may be just a heaping pile of bull,or is it???

    I used to get the odd sly comment about my hair, they stopped when people realised i didn't care though! There will always be someone who slags red hair when they are arounf their friends because they havn't got anything else to say. Hasn't happened to me in a while though but my hair is qute a dark red, sometimes brown even. If you ever go to New York you'll get so much attention it's unreal :D They all love it.
    Anyway on topic Ewan McGreggor is fantastic in Moulin Rouge :cool:

    Who painted that?

    Music: the likes of Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen, Neil Young, Tom Waits, Nick Cave and more abrasive stuff that others usually don't 'get'.

    Poetry: Keats is fairly amazing. But the poetry of Raymond Carver always leaves me feeling like I've been kicked in the stomach and all the better for it:
    Late Fragment by Raymond Carver:
    And did you get what
    you wanted from this life, even so?
    I did.
    And what did you want?
    To call myself beloved, to feel myself
    beloved on the earth.

    Book: War And Peace.

    Painting: I've always found this Manet painting quite unreal: manet.jpg

    Several Dali paintings too.

    Music: Changes - Tupac. Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley(the only version I like). Rocky Road to Dublin - Luke Kelly.
    People: Small and cute, and cool hair..exactly like the girl I'm trying to get at the moment.:)
    Things: Nice landscape photos, Banksy's work and most of all this Banksy quote:
    "When I was five years old, my Mom told me happiness was the key to life. When I went to school they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up.
    I wrote down "happy".
    They told me I didn't understand the assignment and I told them they didn't understand life." - Banksy

    Fairly?
    Fill for me a brimming bowl
    And in it let me drown my soul:
    But put therein some drug, designed
    To Banish Women from my mind:
    For I want not the stream inspiring
    That fills the mind with--fond desiring,
    But I want as deep a draught
    As e'er from Lethe's wave was quaff'd;
    From my despairing heart to charm
    The Image of the fairest form
    That e'er my reveling eyes beheld,
    That e'er my wandering fancy spell'd.

    Unreal.

    Kilcar, Co. Donegal is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been to. Traditional Irish village and stunning scenery, love the place:

    Honesty

    Honesty is very attractive until someone looks fat in that dress and then it gets you in trouble :mad:, damn women.

    "We are the music makers,
    And we are the dreamers of dreams,
    Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
    And sitting by desolate streams;—
    World-losers and world-forsakers,
    On whom the pale moon gleams:
    Yet we are the movers and shakers
    Of the world for ever, it seems."

    First two lines were carved into a desk at an exam I sat last night. Googled it, and found the rest. It's beautiful.

    While we're on poetry.

    Fill for me a brimming bowl
    And in it let me drown my soul:
    But put therein some drug, designed
    To Banish Women from my mind:
    For I want not the stream inspiring
    That fills the mind with--fond desiring,
    But I want as deep a draught
    As e'er from Lethe's wave was quaff'd;
    From my despairing heart to charm
    The Image of the fairest form
    That e'er my reveling eyes beheld,
    That e'er my wandering fancy spell'd.
    In vain! away I cannot chace
    The melting softness of that face,
    The beaminess of those bright eyes,
    That breast--earth's only Paradise.
    My sight will never more be blest;
    For all I see has lost its zest:
    Nor with delight can I explore,
    The Classic page, or Muse's lore.
    Had she but known how beat my heart,
    And with one smile reliev'd its smart
    I should have felt a sweet relief,
    I should have felt ``the joy of grief.''
    Yet as the Tuscan mid the snow
    Of Lapland dreams on sweet Arno,
    Even so for ever shall she be
    The Halo of my Memory.

    Keats. :)

    Remembering this after doing an assignment.

    Assume there are a finite (r) numbers of primes.

    Denote these primes as P1,P2,P3,...,Pr.

    Take P = Product(i:1->r) of Pi

    Take P+1. By the fundamental theorem of arithmetic P+1 has a prime factor which is some Pj, 1<=j<=r.

    Pj must be a factor of P as P is the product of all the (assumed to be finite) primes. Hence if Pj divides P and Pj divides P+1, Pj divides (P+1)-P

    Thus Pj must divide 1. However no prime divides 1 hence there is a contradiction.

    Thus it can be concluded there exists an infinite number of primes.

    Such a simple yet beautiful proof. :pac:
