POLL Who has the funniest Sig

[DavidG]

And the nominees are:

Slynky - Sure, you can strive to fly with eagles, but turkeys don't get sucked into jet engines!

Ragnarok - "They were armed. With guns," said Omari. "Canadians. With guns. And a warship. What is this world coming to?"

Asmala - 'The surest sign that there is intelligent life elsewhere in the universe is that none of it has tried to contact us.' Calvin and Hobbes

geoschmo - That's what they all say, they all say 'Doh!'

Nodachi - Short ranged nuclear artillery. Am I the only one who sees a problem here?

Perrin- The WWW is like a herd of performing elephants with diarrhea massive, awe-inspiring, entertaining, difficult to redirect, and a source of mind boggling amounts of excrement when you least expect it.

And my favourite by a longshot http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Instar - When a cat is dropped, it always lands on its feet, and when toast is dropped, it always lands with the buttered side facing down. I propose to strap buttered toast to the back of a cat. The two will hover, spinning inches above the ground. With a giant buttered cat array, a high-speed monorail could easily link New York with Chicago.

[Ragnarok]

[Slynky]

Though having no votes I was honored to be included.

(of course, all it as led to is embarrassment for, well..., lack of votes... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif )

9 times out of 10, I read people's siggys. Some are serious and some are just plain funny. Since it's a game and is supposed to lead to fun ( http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif ), I decided to leave any life-altering remarks "at home".

[tesco samoa]

I still laugh everytime i see the squirrel one.

Who has that one anyways

[Spoo]

I am the squirrel rangler.

[Taera]

yup, i just did the math, the squirrel has the energy of 1.04x10^19J!!!

thats the best sig, too bad its not in the list http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

[Fyron]

That requires being able to completely convert the squirrel to energy, which is rather tricky. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

[Karibu]

Yup. Squirrell has my vote http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif

[geoschmo]

Gee, I really wish you hadn't included me in this poll. I knew I wouldn't win, and don't deserve to. But it feels kind of lonely being the only entrant not to get any votes. *snif* http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

[Krsqk]

Having read Geo's post first, I was trying to understand what cruel individual would put "Click here to donate to Play By Web" on the funniest sig list. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

[Aloofi]

Nodachi sig made me laugh the longest, but all of them are top notch.
Tesco's sig should get an especial award for linking sig and avatar.

[geoschmo]

Yay, I got my smpathy vote. The rest of you are free to vote your conscience now. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

[Ragnarok]

Ahhhh...I've fallen into a third place tie...Oh well, I knew I wouldn't beat the others out. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

[Taera]

geo - dun worry, your sig is amongst the best outa there, just its aint the funniest http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
AND, my vote remains for Rags (not that i can change it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif )

Fyron yes i know, but hey, its still lotsa energy!
EDIT: dont you need to make it go at 3x10^8m/s? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

EDIT: dont you need to make it go at 3x10^8m/s? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif <font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Not quite, partially because c is slightly less than 3x10^8 m/s (not that it matters too much), partially because at c an object, regardless of rest mass (as long as it is non-zero) would have infinite energy (side note: it would require infinite energy to get it up to that velocity, so you haven't really gained anything that way); the formula is something like:

(1/(sqrt(1 - (v^2)/(c^2))))m(c^2)

As v approches c, (v^2)/(c^2) approaches 1, 1 - (v^2)/(c^2) approches 0, so 1/(sqrt(1 - (v^2)/(c^2))) approaches infinity. Multiply infinity by a positive nonzero number, such as m(c^2), and you get infinity.

Nah, to totally convert the squirrl, you would either need to bump it up against an anti-matter squirrl or to it or toss it into a black hole and get the energy out slowly via Hawking Radiation. There might be another method that is presently unknown, but don't hold your breath waiting for it to be discovered; such discoveries usually take a long, long time.

But, as I said, though not the Oscars ( http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif ), it's nice to be nominated!

[Perrin]

Wow I made the poll. *eyes well with tears*

I would like to thank the members of the space academy...

* Spaceman Spiff pulls out his Ray Gun and zaps all those, except for one, who did not see the humour in the classic Calvin and Hobbes quote. Realizing that he only rated the quote #3 he turns the gun towards himself...... < to be continued > *

sorry, i only have 3 calvin and hobbes comics. if it was that wiggum thing, your going to have to explain it.

Well Spaceman Spiff (my avatar) is Calvins alter ego. Just getting into the character on the Last post. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif Geo's sig is a quote by Police Chief Wiggum from the Simpsons.

i know who spiff is.
