Nah, boss. I think "woo!" showed some of elation I was feeling without distracting too much with the nerdiness of a "w00t!".
Will post more on Thursday, I think.
EDIT: Check out This essay on the poems "Anthem for Doomed Youth" and "Squadron Attack". It's pretty funny.

Has anybody heard Radiohead? It's Fucking Incredible. Everyone should attempt to listen to it. I'm not sure what the songs would be like if you hadn't just sat on your ass writing for 3 hours and you weren't staring at the weird roadmap thing, but when I heard it, it was fucking trippy.
Anyway, that's all I have to say. I will read your essay, Gerald. Then I shall edit this post with another comment. Then I will study maths.
Chris, somewhere I read you were giving up on calculus. You fucknuckle. 6th form Calc is so fucking easy, you deserve a large, heavy, steel-capped boot firmly planted in your arse. But not mine because I don't have a boot like that.
==================================================
Ok Gerald, I read your essay. I will agree that it is funny. I think that, I too felt "as sense of hat". [flame]Whoever the fuck wrote that spells worse than Seathia. Seriously. 52%? What a crock! What, was he handicapped or something? What a loser. [/flame]
But it is funny.

Yeah, the guy is a moron. I know. The point of the whole thing, though, is that he is a moron who passed. Kind of. Imagine how many people in the US failed when they wrote about two poems that actually existed.
I will attempt listen to some of your Radiohead.
Was that the US taking over Afghanistan roadmap thing?
I don't have a boot like that either, but I have to agree with Tiberius.

I'm in the process of editing my posts in Sci-Fi. If anyone can be bothered, make a list of things that I need to change, and tell me which post it is. 1, 2, or 3. I'll go through and try to fix my mistakes. It's too hard for just a little while- half the time I don't _quite_ understand what I need to change.
So, any (comprehensible, numbered) suggestions are welcome.

Thanks Nora. It makes alot more sense now, except in your second post where someone says:
" Unit six has been transported into combat, sir."
I don't understand what that means. Especially since later you use the term 'unit' to describe one person. I think a major problem with this thread was terminology.
But its alot better now. If anyone else has any suggestions, post them wherever yo like (though here is probably most useful). If everyone's happy then can somebody delete my last two posts in that thread because they're ooc, and then I think it's about Chris' turn to post.

I'm not sure if it's something you lot would like, but have a look at some of Opeth's music. I have their second album, Morningrise, and I can pass it around if anyone would like to give it a try.
I figured I would be posting on here more once I had finished my exams, including some in-character stuff. Sorry about that, I might do some when I'm not doing other stuff in real life.

This really should go in the flame thread but I forgot when i was posting on there.
Gerald, you are stupid and lazy. I wouldn't mind listening to this Opeth business.
Um, I thought about posting in the robbery, but it says 'try to be serious please'. Chris, do you really care about it being that serious? Honestly, having never been in a bank robbery, I'm not sure what 'serious' really is. Also: I'm not posting until someone decides they will either be Chris' partner, or a cop of some sort. Or, a different guy robbing the same bank. Hmmm...

Tiberius, I would like to retract my statement in the Flame Thread. You have found a use for the [Heh] tags, although it appears that [OOC] or just double brackets (as I have seen on another board) would do just as well.

IP like internet protocol? I think you're on dialup, so you'll get a new IP every time you connect to the internet. That's dynamic IP.
If you want to know what it is, instead of posting on Incident (tricky little method of increasing your post count while keeping your board running, yes), the easiest way to find out what your IP is should be this.
The URL is easy to remember too, so you shouldn't have to come here to look it up, either.
This place being called Incident is a little ironic, isn't it?
EDIT:
Did anyone see Stargare SG1 on Friday? It was pretty good, but I started noticing things part way through that make the show a whole lot less than it used to be. Yes, there were some great little jokes in there, but a couple of them looked a little forced. The worst, though, was yet to come.
If anyone can remember from the last season, Anubis had his mega sized mothership. For the sake of this post, I'll refer to this mothership as The Death Star. I'll also refer to Anubis as Darth Vader. Now, turns out that The Death Star had a giant sized laser (or similar) on it that gave Darth Vader a big advantage over the other system lords.
Remembering back to the last season, you will recall that Daniel had done his Jedi thing and was one of them floaty people that helps Luke. Kinda half dead, or ascended to a higher plane of existance or whatever. In the last episode, Anubis, who turned out to be half half dead (maybe a quarter, I'm not sure) and some other people un-half-killed Ben Kenobi, and at the beginning of this season he ended up an amnesiac on a planet in the middle of nowhere. (Yavin, but a bit more dusty now.)
Using a bit of plot left over from a previous episode, the SG team find him, and he begins to remember bits of stuff. The Rebels decide to lure Darth Vader in the Death Star to Yavin, where they intend on killing him. (This is where it gets really good.) Jonas and Ben Kenobi sneak onto the Death Star to hack into the systems to help the other people attack (I didn't see it happen, but presumably they took down the tractor beam too). While hacking, they are in a room. Jonas takes out the door controls (and maybe the extendable bridge controls too), and the stormtroopers try to get in for a while, but can't.
O'Neil suggests (jokingly) that the human craft the X-302 be designated Red Leader. This craft, piloted by him and Major Carter was to be piloted to the Death Star, and they would use a proton Torpedo to hit the Achilles' Heel of the Death Star, a pipe on the outside of it. The coordinates of this pipe, logically, are provided by Ben Kenobi & Co who had been sneaking around up there.
On the approach to the Death Star, O'Neil says the customary "Look at the size of that thing!" We get a perfect look inside the Death Star, and see an almost exact replica of the power core of the Death Star 2.
The Death Star targets Yavin 4, which just happens to have General Hammond (Mon Mothma?) on it. A reason is given for him being there, but it isn't a particularly good one.
Once the X-302 gets right up clost to the Death Star, we get a trench run, complete with towers trying to shoot them down and TIE fighters chasing them.
Once Ben Kenobi and his friend hacked the system, they decide to escape. The stormtroopers finally open the broken door by lifting if up with great effort. Ben escapes into the ventilation shaft, but Jonas gets dragged out and taken to Vader.
Please note that this description of the events is a little more disjointed than the episode itself was, and that I left out lots of very important details. All I wanted to show was that someone had been watching Star Wars when they were meant to be writing a scrtipt for Stargate.
