Hamlet is easy to understand.
It's a mild cigar to be smoked to the strains of Air on a G String.

*ahem, ahem*Well it all starts with a bunch of different coloured papers of A4size. We all start by folding and cutting the blue paper into halves. Once you're finished you take out a red paper and fold and cut it into fourths (expr and sp for all the fractions?) Continue with new colours to make eightieth, sixteenths and 32ths. Now you've got the equipment to play the fraction game. Bring a dice with said fractions of instead of the usual digits 1-6. Play with a friend and both of you should have a white papwer of A4size in front of you. Start by throwing the dice and see what fraction the dice shows you. Aha, 1/4. The you're allowed to take one of your red fourths and put that on top of your white paper. Your friends turn..... The one who first covers the whole white paper with different fractions win!

I suppose I could bore you to death by publishing extracts from my new "Show and Tell" autobiography. All the scandal! All the excitement! All the drama!
It's very short. |

What with ice fishing and fractions, the Swedish are possibly as boring as I've been led to believe the Fins are.

If this Thread™ goes any further I'll start writing in a "hilarious" mock-Dan Brown style. You wouldn't want that, would you?

Failed Thread™-killer Giligan flung himself backwards in his chair, sliding away from the computer. In the dim light from the monitor he saw the blood on the floor, and knew that it was his own.
"You should have turned off the printer," cackled the voice of the other man. Staring into the face of the large, red-faced clown, Giligan arched an eyebrow, trying in vain to give off the impression that he couldn't care in the slightest. Though he knew that the dot matrix printer, perched on the desk to his right, was one of the early models from 1970 - the Digital Equipment Corporation's LA30 - he found it hard to believe that a small deviance from the 30 character/second speed limit could have caused the printer ribbon to fly off the printer, striking him in the chest. Giligan stared at the clown, his eyebrow raised. "How? And why?" "Sabotaging the LA30 was simple," came the reply. Giligan knew instinctively that this was true; the model had always been susceptible to damage due to its lose hood. The clown continued. "As for why, it is to do with the Thread™. You know too much. Or perhaps you just think that you do. Either way, your elimination was a necessary measure." Giligan winced. He was wondering when that subject was going to come up. Summoning up every remaining ounce of energy that he possessed, he struggled to his feet. "You should not have done that, Mr Giligan." As the vintage P08 Parabellum fired a shot, and Giligan collapsed to the floor, his final thoughts were those of satisfaction. He had left the required message, and now he just had to hope that they would see it. |

Don't mock me, miffer!
Although, it is an excellent piece of literature. (I take it that Jelena is the clown?) I'll use it and take the credit for it, no less! Quote:

Of course, my story has one thing going for it that Dan Brown doesn't have... most of the random and totally unnecessary facts thrown in to make myself appear clever are actually true. Coming Soon: Robert reads the rest of the Dan Brown novels and rights his own that spoofs every one of them at the same time! |

You should be more like me. Me, I'm an expert in weapons and knew exactly what a P08 Parabellum was as soon as I read the sentence.

Many people know what a Luger is, but how many people know that a P08 Parabellum is the technical name for a Luger? Not many, I guarantee you.

While that's true, a cursory Google search would have given you the answer.
