Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly The Kill-This-Thread Contest!

Yep those D.A.R.P.A. cheques sure are sweet.

*gasp* It's all so clear now...

yet another reason to ban tamper lad.

Unless he's really the U.S. military, in which case we shouldn't make him angry.

Yeah, he might say that Legion World is a weapon of mass destruction or something!! *gasp*

I assure you only my anti-spin counterpart would do those bad things... I am but a humble strategist, plain and simple.

We're not buying it.

Tamper Lad, are you sure you don't sell used cars?

Oh let's not dicker over the sticker price. I'll be happy to let that go for 10 per cent below the asking price.

No I've not been been a used car sales man but I have recieved media training from PR coaches.

Shall i threaten to do a streak through Legion World - will that kill this thread???

I think we would have to take a few posts to point and laugh first.

would you laugh if LASH did the full-frontal thing?

Well, *I* would, yeah.

Honestly nudity does not bother me. Now if someone cut through their abdominal wall and then streaked across legion world as their entrails oozed out, and they finally collapsed as they tripped over their intestines, that might bother me.

"Might"?

I should probably point out here that I don't mean "laugh" to mean "mock".

I don't think nudity or gore are gonna cut it. What this thread needs to kill it is a nice discussion about the Dewey Decimal system! I particualarly find the 793s to be a lot of fun, don't you?

So long as the discussion isnt about Donald Duck's nephew having math probs in high school...

Comics are in the 741s. Education is in the 370s. Birds are 598.

Ahh the Dewey Decimal system. My university's library system used the Library of Congress system instead I think.

Do you happen to know what the prevalence of each happens to be.

Has it got anything to do with cosines or quadratic equations?

i do prefer the library of congress method but....


those 794's are hot.

For the most part LC is used in academic and research libraries and Dewey is used in public and school libraries. I know both, of course, but as a public librarian, I work with Dewey every day.

There are pluses and minuses to both systems. LC was designed to accomodate one library's collection--the Library of Congress. This is why whole letters are given to things such as "naval history" (V).

On the other hand, Dewey tries to fit everything into just ten categories.

Neither one is particularly useful for cross-disciplinary fields, such as women's studies.

Both systems show a strong US cultural bias. In Dewey, for example, the 200s are religion. 210 to 289 is Christianity. All other religions are wedged into the 290s.

Have I killed the thread yet?

Oh I'm just looking at my copy of Leading Change by John Kotter.

Apparently Strategic Planning is HD58.8K65 in the Library of Congress and 658.4'06 under Dewey.

Will guys wearing spandex g-strings make it back to the beaches in summer?

The 658s. I know them well. We get a lot of people looking to start a small business.
