Same as we are not going to just change to the metric system because it is easier. Change is hard. We still use Pennies for gods sake!

Also Europe plowed through a lot of their forests from what I know. But I know very little.

Whut?

I thought it was 100 cents to the dollar.


I am afraid I do not know what you are saying.

And yes. 100 cents per a dollar. Which means we have 100 little partially bronze pennies changling around everywhere causing havok!

I'm confused... if they are cents then where do pennies come in?

As far as I am concerned pennies are an old British denominancy from before the metric system (240 pennies to the pound)

Pennies are one cent. Nickels 5 and dimes 10 and quarters 25 and half-dollar 50 and a Gold Susan B. Anthony or Pocahontas is 1 dollar coin.

Wiki helped... seems you call 1 cent coins pennies for some random reason. What's wrong with calling them cents? It's almost as daft as the old English system, though at least "quarters" and "half-dollars" make sense.

Dude I couldn't stop laughing while reading this. Props *fist pump*. You should write articles for a living.


I have the occasional burst of inspiration.



Before I clicked I thought this was going to be a Rol thread lol.

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.

Paper is for casuals. Hardcore gamers need dice.

Half pence.

I do not know. But one cent is used less than penny. Why do you say colour and we say color?

We both say the same thing... you just spell it differently. (at least as far as I am aware... we say 'kul'-'or')

Change?  Seriously... Why did you even mention this?  It isn't like we are asking people that they can only buy fast food once a month or anything like that.  What is the change?  Other industries being fucked by new competition from a plant that is naturally better than their toxic man made products or better option than another natural product  (cotton, one of the most highest water demanding crops there is).  Any anti hemp stance is pure idiotic.  I can see why idiots take an anti weed stance but to be anti hemp which industrial hemp contains basically 0% THC is pure stupidity.  Face it there is zero reason why it is illegal for farmers to grow hemp besides to protect the sacred industries that fill the so called politicians pocket books.

If anything we changed as a society for the worse.  Instead of looking for more natural products we instead look for man made products that are probably worse option to begin with let along all the pollution involved.  You know the founding fathers grew hemp and were huge hemp supporters right?  You should know the US Consitution is written on hemp.  You should know hemp is only illegal for bullshit reasons just like marijuana.

This chart shows something being bigger than something else, so the little thing must be domed!

Looks more like a circle to me than a dome!

That's cause the 3D effect isn't working really well on you. Look at it closer, you'll see that the black line will slowly fade away and the graph will turn into a 3D dome. Try it, let me know.

Ah now I see it.  I had to adjust the 3D slider till it focused right for my eyes.  Damn sweet spot...
