Hi guys!

wait, why is Iro leaving?

Carbon's on SotS mostly as far as I can see. He might have moved on though...

I think he's too busy for games lately...

thanks

in honor of Carbon's prestigious organization!

History of the Condom

I've always been a student of history but I didn't know this.

In 1272, the Arabic Muslims invented the condom, using a goat's lower intestine.
In 1873, the British refined the idea by taking the intestine out of the goat first.

Don't thank me, I do this as a public service for the advancement of education.

I did not run this through Snopes, but I got it from a friend that I totally trust. 

Because he could.

Don't question the great and powerful Stant!

-Huzzah!

*sniffs*

these allergies...

seriously, I can hardly breathe!

why must there be some unknown particulate in the air that is the source of my infinite irritation? I think I'm going to wear one of those face mask things (whose name escapes me at this late hour)

This will explain it to you KrdaxDrkrun

I have posted it before. I highly recommend some of the earlier forms of music as they have a lot of influence on much of the modern music you listen to. And just to let you know, my generation of musics was mostly 90's. The posted song was 70's. So I know what I am talking about.

And video game music is a form of modern music. Sort of.

So Beethoven, Bach, Mozart and the like are more your forte. Cool. In my opinion that is the height of music. It requires so much from synchronizing to leading that any other form of music is simplistic at best.

Indeed much of modern music has been distilled down to "what sells the best". There are still certain ones that buck the trend and make what they want to make but they can be hard to find. Its also one of the things I appreciate about the 70s rock music world. The term Classic Rock came out about this time because many rock musicians made songs that had many layers similar to Classical Music. Many were classically trained as well. Queen, Yes, Moody Blues are some of the few groups that did this well. True they had their best sellers that were simple but IMHO some of their best work are songs that while didn't appeal to the masses, would appeal to ones like you and me.

Good music requires insanity.

Well I listed a few up there. Youtube has some good versions of their songs. Do be careful though. The modern definition of "classic" rock includes everything before 1990. Which is lame.
