Given the subject of hyphenated words in the yet more inane five word post thread, it seemed appropriate to revive this, the most controversial thread on the board thread.

And to reiterate the first post:

Will it (this thread) polarize Legion world into two camps? Or will a third opinion form?

Ladies and gentleman,

Are you tired of the two camps on Legion World? Does the third opinion do nothing for you either? Well, of course not. They all suck. That's why I'm offering you a fourth way. Join me and know that my camp is superior to all others.

Smores are a pathetic imitation of a snack/dessert.

Down with smores!

they taint chocolate with their evil presense! enjoy chocolate in its own right, not corrupted by the unworthiness that is The Smore!

So, has EDE's camp divided into the EDE camp that likes S'mores and the EDE camp that hates S'mores?

If so, that makes five camps and this thread has gotten even more controversial.

Well, it depends on who you ask. Some claim that the camp is still unified, while others bitterly dispute that.

Gosh, it's like watching that film in high school showing a cell dividing.

And just because it popped into my head, when at the Comic Con last year, I saw a person with this on a t-shirt:

There are 10 types of people in the world. Those who understand Binary and those who don't.

It took me a little bit to get it to. I did tell the guy that it was a great t-shirt and he was pleased I had gotten it.

A fellow employee of mine has that as a poster on his wall.

There are several computer programmers in our division who don't get the joke.

A big feh on these modern computer programmers. Using High-Level Object Oriented IDE's have crippled their fundamental skills.

As punishment I demand they rewrite the Windows Vista Kernel in Assembly.

Just to re-iterate the official position of the EDE camp:

The metric system is for losers!

Planck units all the way, baby!

Will there be a further mitosis of the EDE camp in light of this new position?

The metric system believes in things like cannibalism, slavery and men with hairy ear-lobes!

Don't forget the origins of the metric system lay in something called "The Terror"! How many heads were chopped off to further the ends of this nefarious means of measurement?

to be even more un-metric, we should lobby immediately for the dollar to be divided up into 112 cents - 100 is just too metric!

Now if you want un-metric currency just use these

wink

Source is a web site called

History Peel


Money was divided into pounds (£ or l in some documents) shillings (s. or /-) and pennies (d.). Thus, 4 pounds, eight shillings and fourpence would be written as £4/8/4d. or £4-8-4d.

There were
20 shillings in £1 - a shilling was often called 'bob', so 'ten bob' was 10/-
12 pennies in 1 shilling
240 pennies in £1

Pennies were broken down into other coins:
a farthing (a fourth-thing) was ¼ of a penny

a halfpenny (pronounced 'hay-p'ny') was ½ of a penny

three farthings was ¾ of a penny (i.e. three fourth-things). There was no coin of this denomination, however


Other coins of a value less than 1/- were

a half-groat (2d) 6 x 2d = 1/-

a threepenny bit (3d) made of silver 4 x 3d. = 1/-

a groat (4d) 3 x 4d = 1/-

sixpence (silver) - often called a 'tanner' 2 x 6d = 1/-

Coins of more than 1/- but less than £1 in value were

a two shilling piece (called a florin) 10 x 2/- = £1

a half-crown ( 2/6d) 8 x 2/6d = £1

a crown (5/-) 4 x 5/- = £1

ten shillings (a half-sovereign) 2 x 10/- = £1

a half-guinea (10/6d) 2 x 10/6d = £1/1/-

A £1 coin was called a Sovereign and was made of gold. A paper pound often was called a 'quid'.


Coins of more than £1 were
a guinea (£1/1/-)
a £5 coin


Is that no metric enough?


Mind you i used to hate maths lessons when we were doing this system.
