Physicists use the wave theory on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and the particle theory on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays -WH Bragg :cool:

An Oxemoron is a self-contradicting statement e.g: Military intelligence.
A paradox is a suituation which doesn't make logical sence. A famous physics paradox is Schrodinger's Cat.

Discreet means low-key etc
Discrete means separate or distinct

Yep I've never seen Apocalypse Now, One Flew over the Cockoos Nest (though I'd like to,) Saving Private Ryan, and wait for it ...... I've never seen Star Wars; beyond the Phantom Menace in the cinema where I walked out after 20 mins *runs for cover*

I could say a ladies dress looks nice on her, which would be a compliment. Or I could say that the colour of her dress complement her shoes, as in the two colours work well and create a nice ensemble. The second is still a compliment obv

If you presume that something is the case, you think that it is the case, although you are not certain.

If you assume that something is true, you imagine that it is true, sometimes wrongly.

I never get USB things to plug in on the first try, sometimes I don't get it until the third time and that doesn't even make sense.

Isn't that your log in information? Site preferences etc.?

i think they say "fore" meaning look in front of you or maybe forewarning or something

(i think.... i know nothing about golf so could be completely wrong:o)

Just click the multi-quote button on the severall sections you want to quote. I clicked it twice and am now quoting twice. Just type into the space between each section.

The book is great. You just need a lot of patience. Its not for everyone. You have to admire the work that went into writing a book like that. Its the description of places and the fierce imagianation To0lkein had that makes the book worth reading. Not for everyone tho.

Its about a challenge I think. You'll never get it until you play it and get a little bit of satisfaction from a good shot etc. It is a weird game from the outside looking in.
