From Amsterdam to Paris to GeekForum
« on: February 14, 2009, 10:44:40 PM »
 :slap

Awesome. I was soo bored and thought it'd be fun to join a forum again. And this one seems to suit me.

I'm a girl who studies in Paris, but am originally from Amsterdam. Huge geek, which alienates me from other females, but attracts lots of geeky males. Hope to find some interesting fellow geeks here...

Nice to meet you!  :-D

Hello FBI / new person.

Who invented the question mark?

Help me out... FBI?

Good question btw... my instincts (aka Wikipedia) tells me it was a dude named Randall Dillard. But I'm fairly sure the Chinese invented it.

There are no girls on the Interwebs, so anyone claiming to be one is therefore an FBI agent looking for pr0nographers. Q.E.D.

Welcome Stranger.

Why is it called a RoadRunner when it fact, it rarely lives near roads?

As I understand it, they used to chase behind stage coaches eating bugs or other smalled critters that it's passage stirred up.

Yeah, it's the first one.  We used to put that at the end of our math proofs.  I preferred the little box at the end of mine.  What was the other way to end a proof?
