I want to see my inbox filled with anything that isn't a million "Thanks" or "Thank you"s. Funny pictures, a witty remark, an interesting fact, or even debating the numbers on how many licks it actually takes to get to the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop.
That appears to be an interesting topic to debate (As an Aussie I have never encountered this debate before but a quick google search filled me in). I guess the only way to settle such a thing would be to gather a variety of people, distribute multiple per person and standardise what a "lick" entails then collate all of the data in graph form. I might be over thinking this whole thing though
You know, that's the one thing that's always bothered me about the tests that involve people: how do you standardize a "lick"? You can't standardize the size/shape of the tongue, either, which depending on your method of standardizing a "lick", could potentially influence the results. Although I suppose individual results don't really matter, only the average does, so it's probably less about standardizing the lick and more about having a large enough sample size.
I don't know, I mean as long as you have a clear definition of what a lick is and it is both understood and followed by all participants then you are fine, ie would sucking be allowed and if so how many licks does a suck equal? (As I am writing this I giggled about about the absurdity of the topic) etc. Then you make sure that the sample includes multiple people from different age brackets and genders,
That really is an odd, but useful thing too, my Pop used to own a sheep farm near a place called West Wyalong Over here in Aus and thinking back, the shearing shed floors were exactly as described in the link you posted! Something that you wouldn't really think about until someone brings it up. I am curious, what other topics do you have?
Well, anything from Improbable Research is almost always something to take interest in. They're responsible for the Ig Nobel Prizes, which are awarded to "honor achievements that first make people laugh, and then make them think".
Well, since majority of the community either ignores the copy + paste thank you messages or blacklists them ... and I can tell you didn't ignore me....
This comment greatly confuses me. Dragon Age: Origins is the first Dragon Age game. First you say that it's great and that you've played a lot of it...then you say that this one (being the same one) looks even better?
The Get Out of Jail Free card is only useful early in a game of Monopoly, before all of the properties are owned. Once all (or almost all) of the properties are purchased, it becomes a bit more of a mixed bag. The $200 for passing Go can really help with getting trade deals done or improving properties, but if somebody else has improved properties or all of the railroads, it might actually be better to just stay in jail.
Monopoly's a great game if you play by the rules, and are willing to call a game over before the win conditions are necessarily met. Don't be that person who insists upon finishing the game when you know there's no chance for anyone else to make a comeback.
Thank you! :)

Since you do not want a generic thank you, would you rather a funny picture or something?

It's a tricky thing to measure. Perhaps we ought to stick with easier science, such as the amount of force necessary to drag sheep across various surfaces. (At least one of the authors of that paper is Australian!)

For instance, here's an article (possibly NSFW) about an opera based on Ig Nobel–winning research.

Cheers, I'm going to spend a fair bit of time reading through that tonight I think.
I also realized I forgot to thank you for the give aways!

It takes one lick to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop.
The last one.

I like how people are not paying attention and saying generic thank you's.

Reading comprehension is apparently not a common skill among the users of this website.
Either that, or they're just completely ignoring what I've written. It's probably the latter of the two.
Nice avatar. Is your spoon too big?

There will come soft rains and the smell of the ground,
And swallows circling with their shimmering sound;
And frogs in the pools, singing at night,
And wild plum trees in tremulous white,
Robins will wear their feathery fire,
Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire;
And not one will know of the war, not one
Will care at last when it is done.
Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree,
If mankind perished utterly;
And Spring herself, when she woke at dawn,
Would scarcely know that we were gone.

So I can't be generic in thanking you. Good, I'll keep that in mind.
I will however be generic in a different way.
Happy Birthday!
