If you're confused about what he meant by that, knocking on wood is an old superstition pertaining to it being lucky.

More specifically, you knock on wood to prevent something bad that you just mentioned, often in "I hope it doesn't..." form.

'"I sure hope it doesn't rain."
*knock on wood.'

Virtual Villagers: The Lost Children sucks.
There's no food later in the game. You start off with level 1 farming and you get to fish, but eventually the ocean gets alginated and the village complains about the grossness and won't fish. Upgrading to farming 2 lets you farm and collect coconuts. The coconuts run out quickly and you need building level 2 to farm. If you do get building level 2 and start to farm, parrots will eat ALL THE CROPS before they can be harvested. I haven't learned the secret to building a scareparrot.

I've recently watched Rock Horror again.

I think there's a way to get rid of the algae in the ocean, but eventually the only real way to get food is to have your chief magically create it. The first Virtual Villagers was much better.

I may be on the verge of failing a course right now.  It's an Introductory Biology online "lecture", fulfilling the core science requirement for non-science majors.  There are several problems with this.

1) Being online and "take at your own pace" my lazy ass missed a bunch of quizzes and deadlines.  My grade is basically riding on the graders not giving a shit about due-dates.

2) The course material is both rambling and ridiculously detail specific, which the exams then follow in turn.  I can kind of cheat by googling the questions and answer choices during the tests, but...

3a) There's quite a few questions that cover (in ridiculous detail) stuff that the "textbook" never mentioned.
3b) There's quite a few questions where several of the answers are technically right, but one of them is "correct" with no indication of which to go on.
3c) There's quite a few questions where every answer is technically wrong, but one of them is magically correct by way of the stoned professor who wrote this not giving a shit.
3d) There's quite a few questions where one of the answers is probably right, but are either obscured with egregious typos, or just plain encoded to the wrong answer.

4) I'm in no standing to complain about any of this, because of that aforementioned "doing all the quizzes late" problem.

I really don't want to have to do this shit again, and certainly not pay for it again.  I already found out that Spanish course I "passed" with a D didn't really count as a pass.  Fuck do I just want to graduate already.  I'm so damn close...

I realized there's no way I will catch up with the DF General Discusion subforum, that was the last of the upper forums i managed to follow...

I was making toaster strudels and I accidentally cut the icing packets in half, along with cutting open the bottom of my finger. They were still delicious though.

Yeah, farming 3 let's you get algae eaters, I believe.
Also, I'm playing The Lost Children because I've already solved all the puzzles of A New Home.

I feel your pain man.

I still pop in from time to time but... I need to experience this on my own, you know? It's something I have to do.
