Actually that publication was 200 years old at the time and when Roger Bannister did it, his legs were more than 9 inches longer than the common man the calculations were based for 200 years earlier. This would allow someone to travel at a much more rapid speed. :rolleyes:


But for 200 years Science was wrong wasnt it??????

Or part therof unless all ppls legs grew 9inches overnight...

In 1799, Anthropologist Charles White in \'An Account of the Regular Gradation in Man, and in Different Animals and Vegetables\' tracked \'higher\' and \'lower\' life forms in humanoids.  At the top was the \'Greek Ideal\', at the bottom.........Negroids.

Into the 18th century the \'unicorn\' was included in scientists classification of animals.  It was grouped alongside horses, zebra and donkeys etc.

Piltdown man took 40 plus years to be exposed as a hoax.

I loved the quote from Arzosah \"If science is incorrect, it\'s because there has been an error in the logic. The error is fixed, and the new idea is correct. \"

By this reasoning I have never ever in my life being wrong.  Ever.  :D

rofl - that cracks me up!!

I must confess to also struggling with the control keys.  I eventually tried a lot of diff combos and am geeting the hang of it although the camera view tends to screw with me as it keeps zooming in.....

It is certainly different than most other games - not worse just different imho.

Killing rats as a noob is not all that hard.  I have only died once (and I have made the char as a magic user so low str and end) and use my barehands only.....

I find that I need to adjust my attack style to accomodate how I am doing - sometimes go to attack 5 to regain some health then back to 4 or 3.  I also find that some rate are harder thanothers - if I am not hitting the rat I hit the bolt and find an easier one.

PvP,PK and Thieving /

Some interesting ideas there.

I do like the fundamental philosophy that PK is a \'hard road/path\'

This would mirror real life (any point in history) where murderers were shunned and hunted (unless they were the nobility).

Sharing XP was a great update - removes a little of the spawn camping annoyance.

Dont mention it.

Statistics have shown that 78% of Newbies dont read the players guide before posting.

Statistics have also shown that 62% of posts containing statistics are not referenced or are made up by the author.

Furthermore 100% of ppl reading this post are wishing I just hadnt bothered.

I think not being baptised/committing one of the 7 deadly sins are the only ones thaty auto stop you from getting into heaven.

I am also a lapsed catholic.  My own personal belief that it is how you live your life and treat others which determines the worth of your soul - not sticking to the doctrines written by a male-dominated beaurcracy which spent most of its existance trying to build power and wealth (i.e. the Church).

But that is my opinion and in no way am I disparaging those who have different beliefs.
