Aww, fuck.
I spent all day cooking and completely forgot I had to do English shit.
'Okay guys, you're going to be writing a research paper. Now, don't forget your thesis statement and three main ideas, divided into five neat little fucking...'
That's about where I stopped listening and interjected my own thoughts. :b

Honestly, though, I'm doing the paper on lace, which is just awesome.
But for fuck's sake, man, must ye continue to drill that gods damned awful five paragraph format into our heads every single fucking time?
Even for papers that would do better without that format, such as a research paper?
Theses are not the be all end all.
And five paragraphs is fuckimpractical for anything longer than 500 words.

From Wikipedia:

It is unclear why Crayola called this color tropical rain forest since tropical rain forest is simply the politically correct synonym for jungle...

THAT IS NOT WHAT POLITICALLY CORRECT MEANS.

_{Yes, this has become a pet peeve of mine.}

It gets weirder, too, since the brackets afterwards explain why a tropical rainforest is completely different to and distinct from a jungle.

You found my link in the Future of the fortess thread, didn't you?

Yeah. One wonders why they didn't just change it?
_{...Yes, I'm aware that I didn't just change it either.}

You found my link in the Future of the fortess thread, didn't you?

Yup.

And it ruined my day.

Check out how many times the contributor has edited that page.  I have a strong feeling that contributor would take it as a personal insult if someone were to modify that bit, and I can't be bothered to have an edit war over something so trival (or over anything else, for that matter).

You're welcome.

Yup, that's "his" page all right. It was even he who added the unnecessary bracket clarification to his own original statement.

I just can't get this picture of a stereotypical office worker with a tie and glasses clutching the page and screaming "MINE!!!!" at the world out of my head...

So, what would you call a picture of a rabbit drawn with a 'tropical rain forest' colored crayon? apperently "Jung.. Bunn." is a racial slur...

Same reason realtors call 'Porches' 'Patios' now, due to "Porc. Monk..."

[Leafsnail]

Except that explanation doesn't work at all since "Tropical rainforest" is a completely different colour to "Jungle green", and "Jungle green" still exists as a colour in the Crayola set.  It's clear that they just wanted another similar colour, and therefore named it after a different kind of forest.

Incidentally, I'd call it "A rabbit drawn in green" (or "jungle green" if I were really pressed for specifics).  I don't think many people would recognise the exact shade immediately and call it that.

Patios (generally a paved space outside) and porches (a covered area outside a house) are completely different things, so I'm not sure what you mean there.

Was trolled hard by someone "exploring" my house in JC sometime within the past couple days. logged on late last night to see if any one was on and notice my indoor sugarcane zen garden has been clearcut to the soil. So I look around some more and my lava moat has been redirected into my home as well. After all this they then mined a hole in my wall and used a soil block to cross the moat...
Never in Minecraft have I been so pissed, never.
