Sorry

Sorry I thought I had... and wow I think thats like the first time you've actually referred to me by my name ♥Tory~♥Amulet♥Heart♥ 20:50, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Umm by the way I was wrong about who retired last, wasn't I? ♥Tory~♥Amulet♥Heart♥ 20:55, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Oh well I have absolutely no idea... why do you ask me, anyway? ♥Tory~♥Amulet♥Heart♥ 21:00, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

I don't know why you're happy... I can't read minds and even if I could, I don't think I'd be able to over the Internet...... ♥Tory~♥Amulet♥Heart♥ 21:04, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
Umm sorry that may have sounded rude. ♥Tory~♥Amulet♥Heart♥ 21:07, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Ahh okay. Sorry if I seemed frustrated (I was a bit frusterated because HOW THE HECK WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT!?) Sorry again. I'm tired. Which is why... I'm getting off the Internet now so that I can SLEEP... Sorry. Sorry for apologizing so much, I do that sometimes... sorry. ♥Tory~♥Amulet♥Heart♥ 21:15, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

RE:2008 Formula One season edit

I removed the Wd's because thats what has been agreed on the talk page.Cadan ap Tomos (talk) 21:03, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

What has been decided is that the WD's will only be put in Turkey, which is the only race that was effectivley withdrawn from. In the others, SA were not expected to turn up, so they havent withdrawn from anything. If you can be bothered, you can continue the argument on the talk page. Cadan ap Tomos (talk) 21:14, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Again, we will discuss on the talk page. Cadan ap Tomos (talk) 10:19, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

RE: Userpage

What have you done to your main page!?!?!? Chubbennaitor 15:58, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

First, it's not a main page, is just a userpage, and I've removed that fancy design because I'm tired of having fancy pages. Cheers, macy^talk 20:05, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Well, I'll try to fix that later. macy^talk 21:34, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks alot for the barnstar, means alot =). ABs stands for Autograph Books I believe. I never planned on it getting as big as it has; should I have known the name would probably be different! Thanks again, and thanks for helping maintain the list. Jack?! 23:15, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Flickr warning

Hi Chubbennaitor. Please could you not upload any more photos from this flickr set, as they are copyright violations from the crash.net website. Thanks, --Diniz(talk) 21:12, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Specifically, I found all but one of the images in this gallery, having made a similar mistake a few days ago (see this message) and it's safe to assume that the other image (the one of Fisichella and Sutil on scooters) is also from the website. I have tagged the images for speedy deletion on the Commons, and have removed them from use on Wikipedia. It's important to remember that just because a Flickr user tags an image with a free license, it doesn't make the image free to use if it has always been copyrighted by the original author. It's frustrating to have to rely on amateur photos, but copyright law is there for a reason and strictly enforced despite the emergence of open-source projects such as this encyclopedia.--Diniz(talk) 21:44, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Reference

Well I have a reference to several of the things I've written that were reverted because there was no reference, but how exactly do I let people know of that? For example when I first heard of the anime Full Moon o Sagashite, it was on wikipedia that I heard of it from reading the description. Then when I looked it up on YouTube, most all of them said "Full Moon wo Sagashite" instead of "Full Moon o Sagashite." I was confused so I looked it up on this other website, and apperently a lot of people mistranslate it because a fansub group mistranslated it as "wo", not "o". So that other people didn't need to search a whole bunch of other websites like I did, I added that it is often translated as "Full Moon wo Sagashite." But it was reverted because they said I had no reference. But the thing is, I DO. I just don't know how to tell people that. Oh and... I'M AWAKE!! ♥Tory~♥Amulet♥Heart♥ 14:46, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

By the way sorry for writing in your graah section or watever you call it I was really frusterated because I was trying hard before, told I don't edit enough, start editing more, and most edits are reverted. ♥Tory~♥Amulet♥Heart♥ 15:16, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Oh and another thing I don't understand (sorry that this is my third time talking to you) is that one of my edits was reverted, and then a few minutes later it was added again by someone else and THAT edit wasn't reverted. ♥Tory~♥Amulet♥Heart♥ 15:19, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Okey. But about what I said above, why was one of my edits reverted then readded and then that edit wasn't reverted? ♥Tory~♥Amulet♥Heart♥ 17:35, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

User:Motofan

I know he has his beliefs, and takes pride in what he is doing - but recently I've seen vandalism coming from him, as well as adding more unsourced information, so I can't exactly take everything he does with a pinch of salt :S TheChrisD ^Rant! 16:50, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Well, last night he messed around with 2008-09 A1 Grand Prix season adding a lot of false information and removing a lot of the page over 4 edits, which I reverted: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=2008-09_A1_Grand_Prix_season&diff=218217339&oldid=218210352

And he then proceeded to do this: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User%3ATheChrisD&diff=218228287&oldid=215587621

He did get warned on both occasions, but with further unsourced information and other minor vandalism, I really don't see how he can be trusted ATM. TheChrisD ^Rant! 17:07, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

If you see here, I've given him a few examples of things he has done, after he asked me to show him what he had done that was considered vandalism. He hasn't responded yet, but here he does have a chance to explain why he made those edits.

TheChrisD ^Rant! 17:21, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

I can see he's a bit angry, but mainly what I do on Wikipedia is mostly vandalism reversion, with the odd bit of content improvements here and there. TheChrisD ^Rant! 18:45, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Sorry

I didn't get any warning after those edits like he claims and then the piece of shit deleted my article. I can see why his user- and user talk pages have been vandalised several times before.Motofan 17:32, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi Chubbennaitor, I may not be involved with the F1 Wikiproject, but I know of a bot that could deliever your newsletter for you, the bot is User:Newsletterbot (or any bot in this category) which is run by Milk's Favorite Cookie and on the bots userpage it provides instructions on how to get your newsletter delievered, or if you still want to have it delivered by hand, I could use AWB and deliver it for you.

WPF1 Newsletter (June)

The WikiProject Formula One Newsletter Year I - Issue 5 - June 2008
"Unless I'm very much mistaken....I AM very much mistaken!" Murray Walker agrees with most people who talk about him.
The Current Improvement Drive is Juan Manuel Fangio.
Lewis Hamilton lived up to McLaren's expectations with a memorable win at a rainswept Monaco Grand Prix. Carnage after the pit lane pile-up. Rosberg just becomes untangled while Hamilton and Raikkonen get out of their cars Carnage after the pit lane pile-up. Hamilton and Raikkonen's cars left stranded on the pit-lane exit. Robert Kubica secured his and BMW Sauber's first win at the Canadian Grand Prix. Rubens Barrichello had to be one of the drivers of the month after scoring consecutive points and out racing his team-mate Jenson Button. The week before the Turkish Grand Prix there was a controversy over Super Aguri being barred from the Istanbul paddock. This was a result of Honda's Nick Fry telling Bernie Ecclestone that Super Aguri wouldn't be competing in the race after worries that Weigl's sponsorship would be insufficient. The next day Super Aguri announced that they would be departing from Formula One, as the team was past saving. McLaren went into Turkey hoping for a good result and got a mixed one with Lewis Hamilton and Heikki Kovalainen finishing second and twelfth respectively. The lights had a bit of a problem at the start but eventually the race got underway with Hamilton overtaking his team-mate. Kimi Räikkönen got overtaken by a fast-starting Alonso while Giancarlo Fisichella charged into the back of Kazuki Nakajima. Hamilton chose a three-stop strategy due to high tyre wear, but put in a fantastic overtaking manoeuvre on Felipe Massa. Late-race there was a three-way battle between Jenson Button, Nelsinho Piquet and a recovering Kovalainen, who had his left-rear tyre punctured by Räikkönen's front wing on the first lap. Button was struggling on the option tyre while Piquet was trying some moves; on his second overtaking chance he pushed Button into the pit entrance causing Button to slow. Probably thinking it was Hamilton lapping him, Button let Kovalainen pass on the corner immediately after (first corner). Massa thus won the first race of the month, with Lewis Hamilton and his Ferrari team-mate following in hot pursuit behind. Rubens Barrichello celebrated his 257th Grand Prix start by finishing 14th with a "257" paint job on the car and a special "257-themed" helmet. Barrichello's 257th GP race surpassed Riccardo Patrese's former record of 256 GPs, making him the most experienced driver in F1 history. After the Spanish Grand Prix he celebrated in a round of golf accompanied by ITV's Louise Goodman and fellow racers. A week before the Monaco Grand Prix a test was held at Paul Ricard. There were mixed results with only 11-12 cars being tested per day and the sessions being affected by changeable weather. Honda kept their promise and the wings on the nose got a makeover with other visible changes as well. Then the circus moved to Monaco, the stylish venue on the calendar mapped around the bay of Monte Carlo. McLaren's drivers had special diamond studded helmets for the occasion. On the Tuesday that week Mark Webber proved to be the man of the hour after using First Aid on his companion, AMD's Morris Denton, alongside cycling legend, Lance Armstrong. A car had hit Denton through some traffic works; he would need 90 stitches but arrived at the paddock that weekend. Fisichella didn't get his wish of a points finish on his 200th Grand Prix start after retiring with a jumping gearbox. At the start of the parade lap, Kovalainen stalled and had to start from the pit lane, but despite starting from there he grabbed the last of the points-paying positions with eighth and catching up to seventh; he finished three seconds behind Kazuki Nakajima after the gap was sixteen seconds just five laps before. The race started in the rain for the first time since 1997 and the Ferraris came under pressure from Hamilton at the start with Räikkönen falling back to third. Massa led early on, whilst Hamilton tapped the wall and sustained a puncture. However, the McLaren team was able to use the changed pit-stop strategy to their advantage due to frequent Safety Car periods and the gradual improvement in the weather that necessitated a switch to dry tyres before the end of the race. While Massa and Robert Kubica struggled on worn tyres and heavy fuel loads mid-race, Hamilton was able to build up a big enough lead to maintain first position after his second pit stop. Kubica, who jumped past Massa when the Ferrari driver had a brief excursion at Ste. Devote, finished ahead of the Brazilian in second place, but there was last-minute drama behind. Adrian Sutil was running in a strong fourth place after the final safety car period until a recovering Räikkönen, who had earlier damaged his front wing and been forced to pit, slipped up going into the Nouvelle Chicane. Kimi only put on another new front wing and rejoined in ninth, but a devastated Sutil had bad car damage and retired just before the race's 90% distance mark. This left the way clear for Webber, Sebastian Vettel (débuting the Toro Rosso STR3 chassis), Nakajima, Barrichello and Kovalainen to finish in the points. Two weeks later, the championship moved to Canada on its annual trip to North America. The track had been partially resurfaced since 2007, but these new sections of tarmac began to break up, causing a hazard throughout the race weekend. Nevertheless, Hamilton seemed unaffected as he set a pole position time 0.6 seconds faster than second-placed Kubica. In the race, the front two and third man Räikkönen held position until the first round of pit stops, which were taken under Safety Car conditions. Hamilton lost position to his two pursuers with a longer stop, but then compounded his problems by running into the back of Räikkönen as the Finn and Kubica waited for the green light to come on at the end of the pitlane. Both retired, whilst Nico Rosberg (who was also involved) lost his front wing. Both Hamilton and Rosberg have been given ten-place grid penalties for the next race of the season, in France. This incident, fuel rig problems for Massa and Kovalainen's poor pace turned the race into an all-BMW Sauber fight between Kubica and Nick Heidfeld. Choosing different strategies, the former prevailed by making an additional pitsop to the latter. The race marked Kubica's and BMW's first win in F1, and the first time since the 1999 European Grand Prix that neither Ferrari, McLaren nor Renault has appeared on the podium, as David Coulthard finished in third place to take his first points of the season. Timo Glock was also a first-time 2008 scorer as he beat the recovering Massa to the flag, and they were followed home by Jarno Trulli, Barrichello and Vettel. Massa performed the most impressive pass of the race in his progress from the back of the field following his fuel glitch by passing Jenson Button and Kovalainen simulataneously at the Old Pits Hairpin. The result has elevated Kubica into the lead of the Drivers' Championship, with Hamilton, Massa, Raikkonen and Heidfeld not far behind. Chubbennaitor,  Barkjon , Diniz(talk) Sage J Callahan

We might not know for sure who a user is, but we can observe that they edit the same articles, use the same phrases, communicate with the same users, or generally just act the same as another (usually recently blocked) user. --Onorem♠Dil 19:55, 18 June 2008 (UTC) I haven't seen evidence of Motofan being a sockpuppeteer.

I do believe that Aerofreak is a puppet of Flyhead. --Onorem♠Dil 16:44, 19 June 2008 (UTC) I don't have any reason to suspect that he has one. As far as I know, I've never mentioned Motofan as being a puppet or a puppeteer. --Onorem♠Dil 16:50, 19 June 2008 (UTC) I think it was more the "Continued use of South African neo nazi/racist symbolism on userpage", and less the "after sock/meatpuppets blocked for same" that are also mentioned in the block log. You'll have to forgive me if I'm not worried about clarifying it with the blocking admin. --Onorem♠Dil 17:02, 19 June 2008 (UTC) Re:Hi Hi, sorry it took me so long to reply. I've been kind of caught up with another site that I now have an account on, where I write reviews on books so I haven't been on wikipedia for a while. ♥Tory~♥Amulet♥Heart♥ 20:45, 19 June 2008 (UTC) Smile Found on my awards page.

Happy First Day of Summer! A Beautiful Summer Field Summer is a time for freshly grown fruits and vegetables. Just wishing you a wonderful First Day of Summer 2008! Mifter (talk) If you live in the Southern Hemisphere and are entering the season of Winter not Summer then I wish you a Happy First Day of Winter 2008! Give this greeting to others by adding {{subst:First Day of Summer}} on their Talk Page. I thought that you might like one of the original happy season templates :P. --Mifter (talk) 22:05, 20 June 2008 (UTC) Some bad news to break to you... Dear Chubbennaitor, Thanks so much for your help and friendship on WP over these months. Your "Happy Summer" card, smile, and riddles especially made my day. :-) Unfortunately, real life (real musical life, to be exact) has taken so much dominance over leisure that I am forced to leave Wikipedia for good. I'll still check in from time to time, on a monthly basis maybe, but otherwise, I will be absent from WP duties. Again, thanks so much for your comradeship, however short. Remember that a Pianista from across the Big Pond thanks you from the bottom her heart! Sincerely, LaPianista! 17:22, 21 June 2008 (UTC) P.S.: You can copy-paste the code for the scroll bar if you wish; I myself don't know the particulars. Just change the colors and border size to fit your theme. Adieu! Found in arards page. Chubbennaitor 08:14, 22 June 2008 (UTC) Chubben buddy-pal... Your response moved me, and so did the smile and little heart. Thanks so much for your support; in fact, you've helped change my mind. I've removed the "retired" notice on my userpage. I think I'll just pull out from a few projects that have engrossed me so much and "semi-retire," like you put it. I still love reverting vandalism, anyway. Thanks so much Chubby! :-) LaPianista! 23:58, 22 June 2008 (UTC) New user Hi there, I'm new here at Wikipedia, I saw your name at the WikiProject Formula One page. Pleased to meet you. I created a new page related to F1 and I want you to please take a look at it and give me an opinion. If you can, will you also please assist in expanding it a little bit. For a link to the page click here.Motorhead12 (talk) 21:06, 21 June 2008 (UTC) Thankyou for signing my guestbook found at my awards page. Chubbennaitor 08:12, 22 June 2008 (UTC) ElectricalExperiment 21:29, 21 June 2008 (UTC) Slight concern Sorry, I just have a bit of a concern about that new user Motorhead12. A few things looked suspicious such as petty vandalism on a few F1 articles, and a very short user page intro. But one thing that really made me suspicious, is that when he created that List of safety car affected Formula One races, it is in pretty much the exact same format as the List of rain affected Formula One Grand Prix which Motofan created, until other editors stepped in to improve it as well. I'm just a little suspicious. If he's not a sockpuppet, then I apologise and will step away. But, editing his user page to blatantly deny it, as well at attempting to attack me is also concerning me: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User%3AMotorhead12&diff=220934460&oldid=220841545 TheChrisD Rants•Edits 10:16, 22 June 2008 (UTC) Right, my AiV report resulted in a 24 hour block. If anything continues after the block expires, I'm going to report to WP:SSP. That seem like a good plan? TheChrisD Rants•Edits 15:09, 22 June 2008 (UTC) Hello, Chubbennaitor. You have new messages at TheChrisD's talk page. You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template. I prefer to keep discussions unfragmented. TheChrisD Rants•Edits 11:29, 22 June 2008 (UTC) In reply to: Yes. Why was he told off for editing his own page? Chubbennaitor 15:12, 22 June 2008 (UTC) Removing the {{Sock}} tag [2], changing the {{Sock}} tag to different users [3] [4], and then abuse of templates.

So a trombone concert, eh? Well, you have my luck and best wishes! :-) Wish me some luck as well at the end of the year; I'll be engaging some statewide piano competitions and auditions, etc. Nothing flashy, just some run-of-the-mill, student ensemble things. As regards to your P.S., that "code" is this: <div style="width: 260px; float: right; margin-left: 15px; margin-bottom: 10px; background: #DCDCDC; padding: 6px; border: #DCDCDC solid 1px; -moz-border-radius: 10px;"> <div style="height: 250px; width: 260px; overflow: auto;"> __TOC__</div></div> Change the colors after "background" and "border" and the margins under "padding," "height," and "width" to suit your liking. I'm not exactly tech-savvy with the intricate details and such (as I stole it from this dude) Cheers! --LaPianista! 02:19, 23 June 2008 (UTC) Oh, and another thing...have you thought of trying WP:Huggle? It's a great anti-vandal tool that reverts and warns vandals at a mouseclick. It works best if you have rollback, though; some admin should grant it to you. --LaPianista! 02:22, 23 June 2008 (UTC) By "how to get it," you mean by where to download it or how to open the application? --LaPianista! 19:59, 23 June 2008 (UTC) You must be referring to rollback, right, since it says under WP:Huggle (under "Obtaining huggle," apparently my typo earlier) where you can download it. You could ask User:Master of Puppets about the technical stuff; he helped me when I was a newbie. If in fact you were referring to rollback, consult the list at CAT:WARR. Hopefully, after a quick look through your contribs, they should grant it to you soon. --LaPianista! 20:08, 23 June 2008 (UTC) Hooray! Congrats on your rollback! It feels great, I know. :-) Now, vandalism aside, I've noticed that you've helped (and are probably still helping) User:Chibi-anime-Girl, a.k.a. Tory. Maybe consider WP:adopting her? It's a more formal way of "taking under the wing." --LaPianista! 18:13, 24 June 2008 (UTC) Rollback request granted Hello. You have come to the right person, yes (the other way would have been Wikipedia:Requests for rollback, but you can also do it this way) I have had a look through your contributions, and they seem fine. I have granted your request for rollback. Please do not abuse this tool, or it will be removed, and further action may be taken. You may wish to read Wikipedia:Rollback. Best wishes, Lradrama 21:37, 23 June 2008 (UTC) Riddles Hi, I have viewed the riddles posted, and I have an answer for each. For the first one, they are three generations of the same family, one is a father to one and a grandfather to the other, another is a son and father, and the final member is the grandson and son. Number two. It could either be that the basket wasn't involved in the first place, or the left over apple was alread in the basket. Three. The man is looking at himself. Four. A looks like the most likely to have done the job, considering B cannot drive, and C will not pull a job without an accomplice. However, A could be innocent, as C and B could have worked together to commit the robbery. Thanks for posting the riddles, they were entertaining and enjoyable to do. Abraham, B.S. (talk) 03:40, 24 June 2008 (UTC) New user! Hi. I've just joined. I have already made some contribs. Check out Hangar9 Sundowner —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stick46 (talk • contribs) 07:06, 25 June 2008 (UTC) A whole new kind of riddle Hi, Chubby! I've just added a new twist to my userpage; try finding my secret page! If you find it, you'll receive my own, specially designed barnstar. Good luck! --LaPianista! 21:02, 28 June 2008 (UTC) I Found It Hi just wanted to say hi and ask how your doing because we haven't talked in quite awhile. By the way the title of this section of your talk page says "I Found It" sooo yeah I found La Pianista's secret page (even though I found it quite difficult.....) ♥Tory~♥Amulet♥Heart♥ 23:33, 1 July 2008 (UTC) Have you found my secret page? ♥Tory~♥Amulet♥Heart♥ 19:58, 2 July 2008 (UTC) Your comment Hey, what did you mean by your comment in my guestbook? ——RyanLupin • (talk) 21:13, 2 July 2008 (UTC) Sig Could you make my signature brown? Like donuts? ISmellDonuts (talk) 17:06, 3 July 2008 (UTC) 4 Riddles (go ahead and reply here instead of my talk page) One man is both father and son to the other two, respectively. The last son took the basket along with the last apple. The portrait is of his son. As to whose picture it is, I cannot name the picture’s creator or owner with the information given. No. Suspect A may or may not have been involved in this particular robbery, but it is implied that C has pulled jobs with A before, in which case A is not ‘innocent’. You may want to remove the text that says you’ll change the riddles before a month has past[ sic, should be passed], since they appear to have been up rather longer than that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.217.180.206 (talk) 10:54, 4 July 2008 (UTC) Who are you? Chubbennaitor 16:33, 4 July 2008 (UTC) One grandfather, one father and one son Correct Correct. I'm ignoring your final part Correct Blocked Yeah, but I was unblocked already now. Its because of my stupid little brother he created like 7 accounts for vandalism and an administrator thought it was me with a bunch of sockpuppet accounts! ♥Tory~♥Amulet♥Heart♥ 16:52, 5 July 2008 (UTC) Jon Christos Hi, Thanks for your observations on the Jon Christos Wikipedia article. Although I'm not the author of the page, as a friend of Jon's I do edit it occasionally. I'm not greatly familiar with the workings of Wikipedia and find it some of it quite complicated, but notice you found some great references on Jon which I could use as verifiable references on his career notes- if that's ok with you. I also wonder if you can let me know of a similar classical music artist Wikipedia page that would be a good example to follow in it's correctness. Regards, Alfshire. AB 16:56, 7 July 2008 (UTC) Re:Barnstar Thank you very much for the barnstar!--Diniz(talk) 21:41, 7 July 2008 (UTC) Sorry Sorry for the wrong messasge, Wikipedia still baffles me and gives me headaches lol. Wish I was as good as you at it. Alfshire 16:21, 8 July 2008 (UTC) Hi there! So how are things? :-) It's been a long time since we've chatted... Have you noticed I'm an adopter, now? My adoptee is User:Happysunshine. Ah, and I've got a some riddles for ya. What gets bigger the more you take away from it? When you see geese flying in a V formation, why is it that one leg of the V is always longer than the other? Where do you find a no-legged dog? What cheese is made backwards? How do you make a bandstand? --LaPianista! 18:19, 9 July 2008 (UTC) Yep, that's right. Give the others a go. --LaPianista! 02:34, 11 July 2008 (UTC) By the way, I've also adopted User:Valce1; he's pretty new here. You can let others know you are adopting by adding {{Adopting}} to your userpage, or you can appeal to some in c:adopt. It's probably best to advertise your position at Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User/Adoptee's Area/Adopters. --LaPianista! 03:49, 11 July 2008 (UTC) Oh, that. Well, you teach adoptees the basics of Wikipedia, how to use it responsibly, how to create templates and use them, creating user pages, learning about special pages like wp:aiv and wp:rfd and how to participate in public discussion. Requirements about how to become an adopter can be found at Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User/Adopter's Area. --LaPianista! 17:40, 11 July 2008 (UTC) What symbol? The curly bracket, you mean? Oh, and don't forget the riddles! :-) --LaPianista! 16:59, 12 July 2008 (UTC) Ah. Well...I'm pretty much beseeching you now (I can't wait to make you kick yourself)...would you like the answers to the riddles now? :-) --LaPianista! 18:45, 12 July 2008 (UTC) Here it is: Q: What gets bigger the more you take away from it? A: A hole. Q: When you see geese flying in a V formation, why is it that one leg of the V is always longer than the other? A: There are more geese in the longer one. :-P Q:Where do you find a no-legged dog? A: Right where you left him. (cruel, I know) Q:What cheese is made backwards? A: "Edam" (edam => made) --LaPianista! 18:52, 12 July 2008 (UTC) Erm, a few typoes made it hard to understand. Could you fix them, please? --LaPianista! 19:07, 12 July 2008 (UTC) Hmm... First answer: an insect? Bully? Teacher's pet? Second answer: b+a? Sum of a and b? Third answer: My brain hurts trying to answer that one. Meaningless, pointless answers, I know, but they're my best guess. --LaPianista! 19:22, 12 July 2008 (UTC) Ouch! But...a+b does not equal ab (ab = a times b). Third one was a tad unfair...since I'm not in the UK. :-) --LaPianista! 19:33, 12 July 2008 (UTC) Question Do you think that I (to quote the user ISmellDonuts) "have no skills, am a useless editor, and am insignificant to the world as a whole" ? ♥Tory~♥Amulet♥Heart♥ 21:16, 11 July 2008 (UTC) ...my adopter hasn't been on wikipedia for over a month now ♥Tory~♥Amulet♥Heart♥ 21:18, 11 July 2008 (UTC) what is a co-adopter? ♥Tory~♥Amulet♥Heart♥ 21:29, 11 July 2008 (UTC) i guess that elias (my adopter) doesn't fit all of the things on the list to qualify to be an adopter because the first thing on that list is that you need to be available to help your adoptees. well neither do i espesially because i am adopted and i was recently blocked (even if it wasn't really my fault) plus i haven't been on wikipedia for extremely long like some people have ♥Tory~♥Amulet♥Heart♥ 21:38, 11 July 2008 (UTC) Hi i do want to change my name happysunshine, and i will gladly be your friend.. what's new??? ~ California Girl 13:48, 12 July 2008 (UTC) Riddles I thought I'd attempt your riddles. ;) 1) The three people are a man, his father and his father's father. Thus the categories of son and father are not mutually exclusive and overlap in the second man, who is both a father and a son. 2) One of the sons takes the basket along with his apple. 3) The portrait is of his son. 4) If A is innocent of the crime described: B cannot have committed the crime by themself, as they cannot drive. B must rely on either A or C or both to drive, as only A, B and C were involved (if at all). If A was involved, they are not innocent. If C was involved, A may have been innocent as A and B could have carried out by the crime by themselves. However, it is implied in the question that if C is involved, A will be too. A is probably not innocent, but it is possible for them to be. However, if the question "is A innocent" refers to A never having committed a crime at all, then this is wrong, as it is known that A and C have committed crimes together before. Therefore A is guilty of a crime, or crimes, in general. (I'm it a bit puzzled by this one.) --Diniz(talk) 00:06, 13 July 2008 (UTC) Hello from PRINCESS REBEL La Pianista is one of my WikiFriends and because I am obsessed with finding 11-13 year old wikipedians, she gave me your name. Well, I was looking for girls, but who cares! I hope we can be friends. I've made, what, um, 367 edits in a little over a month of being an official Wikipedia user (I've edited before, maybe <1000 times, unregistered). I'm Australian, I'm Pokeynuts, I'm Twelve, I'm Crazy, I'm Wacky, I'm a Girl, and I WANNA BE YOUR FRIEND!!! So, if you wanna be my wikifriend, drop a line on my talk page, and have a look on my userpage. (click "The Rebel's Gone" on my signature to get to my userpage and "Pokeynuts" to get to my talk page. DO NOT CLICK THE LOL) If you drop a line here instead of on MY talk page, than leave a message telling me to check here, because I will forget. Oh, it seems that you're friends with Tory Amulet Heart (or Chibe Anime Girl or whatever she is now). Well, she's one of my friends, too! You may think I'm crazy, but I take that as an insult. I'm not crazy - I'm way past crazy. I'm POKEYNUTS!!!The Rebel's Gone Pokeynuts LOL 02:45, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
