    Those are amazingly cool, unfortunately the entire collection will costs you at least $80, or $4 for each one. Pricey.

    I spent over $100 to buy a backpack shaped like a GameCube that was given to people who attended Nintendo's pre-E3 conference. Your turn.

    The pixellation is the best part, of course... there are plenty of Mario figures out there, but how many look like they're straight out of SMB? Cool

    I've seen some mario dioramas that look similar to this before. Wish I had them. :(

    The next series they do should be The Legend of Zelda. I want a tiny pixellated Link in bottlecap form!

    Wait, those look like CANS of soda, not bottles. So like, are they packing in bottle caps in every CAN of soda? *opens can and poors out bottle cap* Yay! I won a party with Slurms McKensy!

    Smoke is freakin' obsessed with strange tasks, but he IS logical, ya gotta give him that. He's won a contest you people didn't even realize was going on, for example.

    The one who does not know the truth is the one best suited to find it.

    What about the one who DOES know the truth? I'd assume they would be even better suited, since they know exactly where they last PUT the truth.

    Oh, I get it, it's like some martial arts kung fu master lesson that means like "the person who isn't convinced they know the answer is more open to find out the truth" or something, right?

    Yeah, that about describes it, but that just is a knock against having low standards for evidence than anything.

    ...okay now rip his heart out with your bare hand!

    What do you think? :)

    Not necessarially... more like the typical 'the people all have been doing this for a while and know how to do it but here comes the young person who doesn't know the limits of what can be done so they do what everyone knows can't be done and afterwards all the others can say is 'but you can't do that!'...'... it doesn't say that they are stupid, but that they've gotten too used to the way things are known to be.

    Except "the new guy" doesn't ever actually come around and do that, well in science anyway. I guess in business it applies. Generally scientists are always open to any sort of PROOF they are wrong, but in pretty much every case of the upstart trying to say "check this out", they only prove their own inadequecies... It really does take becoming "one of them" to really do that stuff. Then again, science is all about constantly proving each other wrong, and right, but generally it's about the proof above all else.

    I mean in movies or books or stuff like that, where that happens all the time... :)

    The way science works is different and doesn't really apply either in fiction or in the environment of a forum, I think.

    It's not, but it doesn't apply to anything EXCEPT martial arts.

    DJ, what on earth are you talking about? It looks to me like you're completely ignorant of all things martial arts-related. Like the only thing you know is from what you saw in Kill Bill or something.

    What? I'm talking about a frickin JOKE here. I'm making fun of martial arts movies, and ABF agreed that was the basic idea. Don't take things so personally. It's not like I MEAN it or anything.

    PS, I've never even SEEN "Kill Bill". I got that from the hilarious joke along those lines in Kung Pow.
