well.....this got very good rating in a mass statistic test:
This one came second - i personally like this one better, though it's much harder to remember:
Quote
Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed. The other guy takes out his phone and calls the emergency services.
He gasps: "My friend is dead! What can I do?" The operator says: "Calm down, I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead." There is a silence, then a gunshot is heard. Back on the phone, the guy says: "OK, now what?
This one came second - i personally like this one better, though it's much harder to remember:
Quote
Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson go on a camping trip. After a good dinner and a bottle of wine, they retire for the night, and go to sleep.
Some hours later, Holmes wakes up and nudges his faithful friend. "Watson, look up at the sky and tell me what you see."
"I see millions and millions of stars, Holmes," replies Watson.
"And what do you deduce from that?"
Watson ponders for a minute.
"Well, astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, I observe that Saturn is in Leo. Horologically, I deduce that the time is approximately a quarter past three. Meteorologically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day tomorrow. Theologically, I can see that God is all powerful, and that we are a small and insignificant part of the universe. What does it tell you, Holmes?"
Holmes is silent for a moment. "Watson, you idiot!" he says. "Someone has stolen our tent!"

Note: you can also wallstrafe while climbing ladders, you just have to look in a 45degree angle or so away, then pushing both forward and strafing, perhaps you have to look up too, can't remember specifically, i more or less just do it :p.

Intensity rising, SOH CAH and TOA only works on triangles that has an angle on 90degrees. There are also Sine and Cosine thingies which applies to every triangle.
Sine:
Sin(A)/a = Sin(B)/b = Sin©/c
This can be used to calculate other sidelenghts or other angles if you know a pair(ex. A and a) and then one part of another pair(ex. just C, but not c).
Cosine:
c^2 = a^2 + b^2 - 2abcos©
can be used to calculate a side opposite of an angle, where you know the two adjacant sides. and also to calculate an angle if you know all 3 sides.
- basically you can calculate every parts of the triangle if you know 3 other parts, with the exception of you only knowing the angles.
Sine:
Sin(A)/a = Sin(B)/b = Sin©/c
This can be used to calculate other sidelenghts or other angles if you know a pair(ex. A and a) and then one part of another pair(ex. just C, but not c).

I wrote Soh Cah Toa on my calculator, I wonder if that's considered cheating on the test.i'd count that as notes, depending on if that is allowed or not it would be cheating.[snapback]41771[/snapback]
@swift.... no, no i didn't. SOH CAH and TOA is just a sentence, which you can try and remember. What i said is based on if you know what Tan, Sine and Cosine spits out, which is based on the definition of them.

you can also remember it in another way, this is my way, it may or may not be useful :p. but first some snazzy ASCII of a triangle.
Tan = opposite / adjacant:
if you take tan for some degree(or radian for that matter), then you get zhe....zhe......i'll just call i "a"-value for a straight line, you know: y = ax + b.
you can also calculate this a value by divided the change in the y-values with the change in the x-values. say we could take Tan(A) from our snazzy drawing, then we get the change in y-values divided by the change x-values, being |BC| / |AC|. opposite over adjacant.
Sin = Opposite / hypotenuse and Cos = Adjacant / hypotenuse:
i just remember this by the definition of Sine, it spits out the Y-value of the point where the radius touches the circles edge. This is also how i remember cos, since it spits out the x-value.
Code: [Select]

seems like a poaching pan is filled with water....
An Æbleskive pan is NOT, it's solid metal.
but i guess you could make a makeshift æbleskive pan by pouring liquid metal into the water area and letting it go solid :p.

tiiiiime foooooor daaaaaniiiish paaassstrryyyyy!!!!
please know that these are not my personal recipes, but some i found on the net, mainly Danish Deli Foods - make that only Danish Deli Foods. So there are no guaranteed results. I've made a few additions and corrections...pfft covering æbleskiver in jam and icing sugar - YOU DIP I TELLS YE! DIIIIIIIP!. anyway my additions/corrections are in italic.
Æbleskiver!
[size=8] [/size]
notice that you need a special funky pan for this recipe, it can be bought Here
the pan can be bought elsewhere - search under Aebleskive/æbleskive pan.
Ingredients:
250 g white flour
300 ml cream
200 ml milk
4 eggs
1 tsp zest of lemon
1/4 tsp salt
butter for frying
decoration:
icing sugar
Method:
Mix flour, milk and cream together to a homogeneous mix. Stir in the egg yokes one at a time and then the lemon zest. Whip the egg white stiff and fold into the mix together with the salt.
Melt the a knob of butter in each of the holes in the special pan and fill ¾ with the dough. When the dumpling is light brown on the bottom they are turned with for example a knitting needle. what is basically done is that you take the "hard" shell that has been made at the buttom at the pan and turn that into the top. Bake for 5-6 minutes, turning frequently.
Eat with icing sugar and Jam - you just dip it in whatever of those two...and eat.
Danish Pancakes(Pandekager!)
[size=8] [/size]
Note: picture is not from the original recipe!
This recipe might be known to non-US people, or some that is similar at least, however i included it so nubby US people could see them. Anyway, the main difference between Danish and US pancakes is afaik that Danish are much thinner, and can be served with almost anything - though traditionally it's sugar and Jam.
This is the simplest and by far the best pancake recipe I know - the only one where I easily turn the pancakes in mid-air. Enough for 10 thin pancakes.
Ingredients:
125 g white flour
300 ml milk
2 eggs
¼ tsp salt
30 g oil
Method:
Mix the ingredients making sure there are no lumps in the batter. Mixing in the oil makes sure the batter is self-greasing so that greasing the pan is only necessary when baking the first pancake.
Bake the pancakes evenly until golden brown on both sides. The texture will be dry and tender because no grease in used directly on the pan.
Serve with whatever, roll it up boy! You can use this as a meal if you serve it with a meat mix. You could also make it a desert if you serve them with Icecream or perhaps just the tradional way: Jam and sugar.
Pebber Cookies(Pebbernødder!)
[size=8] [/size]
This is a Danish christmas treat, there's also a weirdo game you can play with them..and i could try to find the rules/write them down if anyone cares....SO DEFINETLY NOT ANeM!
It is almost impossible to stop eating them, they are SO crunchy and will melt in your mouth
Ingredients:
125 g butter
125 g sugar
1 egg
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda (baking soda)
½ tsp ground ginger
¾ tsp cardamom
½ tsp cinnamon
1 pinch white pepper
275 g white flour
Method:
Stir sugar and butter together and add the egg. Mix spices with the bicarbonate of soda and flour. Knead together with the sugar mix.
Flour a table and roll the dough into a finger thick sausage shape. Cut off in ½ to 2 cm length, depending on how big you want the cookies. They do rise some during the baking.
Roll the pepper cookies into ball shape in the palms of your hand, squeeze them a little and place on a baking sheet. Bake at 200°C (390°F) for 10-12 minutes.
Leave to cool and store in an airtight container.
if i remember any more i'll try to dig them out and post them.

well yea.... your Body stat can reduce damage....however you need to roll higher than the power level...so, sitting on a nuclear bomb and survive is perhaps a bit exaggerated :p
but yea...if you're REALLY lucky..you can survive more than in other RPGs
