Nils commenting on Huge Space

What is the McCormick place and why is it so huge?

Alexander Micek commenting on Huge Space

Bigly hugely large conventions necessitate spaces with corresponding attributes? Or: the auto show has lots of cars. (?)

Alexander Micek commenting on DDR

As official moderator, I’d like to request a clarification of Dan’s statement, followed by a rebuttal (‘rebuttal’ is apparently my favorite word lately) by Nils.

Alexander Micek commenting on Indole Test

“The indole test is a biochemical test performed on bacterial species to determine the ability of the organism to split indole from the amino acid tryptophan. This division is performed by a chain of a number of different intracellular enzymes, a system generally referred to as ‘tryptophanase.’”
- Wikipedia

Funny you ask that, Nils—because I didn’t know the above before your query. We simply use the test to classify organisms and don’t worry too much about the biochemistry behind it.

Markoe commenting on DDR +2

I used to play DDR but then I realized it was exercise. Same deal with the Wii. At first you think you’re just having a good old time but watch out because the next thing you know your heart rate is up and your burning calories. No thank you, I say to that. I worked hard to earn those calories and I’ll be damned if I’ll let you take them away Nintendo!!!.

Dan McKeown commenting on DDR +1

Well instead of a long worded response to Nils’ comment I thought I would just insult him for beating me instead of making an excuse for why I am taking so long to reach that goal. I then decided to tell him it was not a big deal, mainly out of jealousy. Finally, I agree with Markoe when it comes to my retirement from DDR. I was also made fun of for making things fall off of shelves as I jumped around on that damn pad.

Dan McKeown commenting on Golf Screen Shot

This picture confused me at first. My original thought was that you had taken a picture from the the Masters website. That thought only lasted about .003 seconds, however, and I soon figured out what I was looking at. Nicely done.
