Doubtful.

[Xantalos]

I can definitively say no.

Why the hell does everybody have cats these days?

Why the hell does everybody have cats these days?

Studies show they're generally good for blood pressure or somethin'. Purring does things to human physiology that's somehow beneficial.

Mind you, that's probably not the reason. The actual reason is that they're small, fuzzy, cute, and generally lower maintenance than dogs. And people like pets, for varying reasons.

I want a pig!

Because they breed a lot. It's not so much that people have cats, but why more cats choose to adopt people.

When you have a crush on a person, is it always based on a sexual attraction towards this person?

Probably is for some people. But definitely not always for everyone.

This is truer than you might think.
I, personally, admire cats for their aloofness. It's like living with a fuzzy, near-powerless jerk that may sometimes choose to care about you. Fun.

I thought that the 'child boards' on the forums were boards meant for children. Anyone else made that mistake? No? Just me? Ok...

[Lectorog]

I did when I first started reading forums. I quickly learned. "Mafia" being a child board helped the tipoff.

Hey, it's Junior Mafia, where players "shake down" other kids for their candy.

Can you set Skype so that the people you are talking to hear your computer's audio? My cousin and I are trying to watch shows together over it...

Yep. Your computer should have 'line in' listed as an audio recording device. That's the one you want to use. Failing that, utilities like manycam can do the job (any manycam also helps with the visual aspect of watching shows over skype, I do that quite a lot).

As for my question, what's a good way to heat milk without a kitchen? I want something that I can do in my room, but I'm in university accomodation, so due to fire regulations I'm not allowed my own microwave or hot plate. Just about the only thing I currently have is a kettle, though I'm willing to spend a small amount of money on a device tha can do it. Immersion heaters tend to be too intense for milk, and have hygeine issues. I've seen mug warmers advertised, but they seem designed for keeping already hot liquids hot, not warming them up. One can buy fancy milk frothers, but they're all at least £25, and they tend to be designed for rather large capacities - I'm only interested in making a cup or two of hot chocolate at a time.

[Reelya]

Lol, powdered milk and hot water comes to mind. Don't even need to refrigerate that stuff either. I'd recommend mixing the powdered milk with a little cold water (and the chocolate) first while the hot water is boiling then add the hot at the end, i had some powdered milk once that went funny when added straight to boiling water.

If using powdered milk I'd suggest using chocolate syrup instead of chocolate powder to get it more creamy. Hell, just use Bailey's Irish Cream.

Are we anywhere near the thread title at the moment? "Cuz if we are, where do you define the line between tipsy and drunk?

[Xantalos]

How would you guys, if any of you are inclined to writing, write the balrog battle in the Fellowship of the Ring?
