I tried to recruit at our school, but so far? NONE.

I'm back! I wonder what time it now is in America and Australia ^_^
My bike will be fine, it was not as expensive as I had feared. But I did loose extra money when I went to buy enveloppes. The store also had a book sale... I'm a sucker for book sales... *sigh* now I need a new bookcase.

Jansen is a very common Dutch name, something like Johnson in English. It's like son of Jan, which is a very very common name, even today. For example: I have three men called Jan in my family (two uncles and a nephew).

Dalrymple is a name I don't know. If you only listen to the pronouncuatiuon it would mean valley ripple/wrinkle in Dutch. ("Rimpel" in water is ripple, "rimpel" in someone's face is wrinkle)

Hi Cloud! Welcome to the forum ^_^ heheh this is like the blind leading the blind, I just joined too.

OK, I think I have this figured, when you posted,
it was 5:17 am my time (West Coast America)
and about 10:17 pm (Australian time) (17 hours ahead of me)

Most the time 11:00pm - 12am my time the Australians start getting on. Which is about 4- 5 pm their time.

I think that's about right.

I'm Malay American XD ! Well, I'm a mutt, but mostly Malay. I tell people I'm Asian and they think I'm joking. :cry:

I can make it pink for you if you want. :) [Edit: I pinkified it. You can request pinker and I can probably adjust it. Or point me to a shade of pink and I can try to match it or come close. http://usera.imagecave.com/Rychon/cloud.jpg ]

I can probably also manage to get Snowy's crayon avi back. [edit: you can probably just use the http://isolatedgamer.com/forums/images/ ... e90aab.gif link for it. If not, there's other solutions but that's fastest.]

My name is pathetically common. There's a girl in my jazz band who has the exact same name as me first AND last.

Sorry, the ] got included in the url. Should be find now.

No, we have different middle names, since mine is at least uncommon. They had to make the program kind of obnoxious in order to differenciate. But for that I'd have to actually give my name, which I won't :P

Rychon: That's so freaky, same first and last name :o

Moss: I posted at 15.17, so it was 5:17 your time (West Coast America)
and about 22:17 (Australian time)

Hmm, I think that's the same day, since Austalia is east of me (the sun passes them first) and your west of me (the sun passes you later)

So in Australia it is 7 hours later and in America it is 10 hours earlier? :o I'm confused, I thought I had only 6 hours difference with east coast america, is it 4 hours between east and west coast?

Well, probably doesn't help that they're two of the most common names you could think of.

Moss: what day? It was saterday here.

Um, oh I figured one thing out: We just entered day-light saving time, so there's one hour I didn't figure in my calculation... So one hour less sifference with America and one hour more with Australia, that brings it to 9 hours to America and 8 hours to Australia

Pavlov

He was a biologist who did research to the ability in animals to connect cause and effect. For instance, he had testdog in his laboratory. the dog's saliva glands were wired to measurement equipment so that they could tell when he started to produce that. At first the dog only reacted when there was food in sight or smell. Then Pavlov started ringing a bell a few minutes before the food was brought in. After some time the dog already started producing saliva when it was only the bell and no food followed. Even if it was not even dinner time.

So Pavlov concluded that the dog could be learned to associate the bell with the food. ^_^ The dog could learn to draw conclusions from experience. It probably thought that the food was the effect of the bell.

Humans also do that. When you see a fire you know it's hot, since you probably burned yourself on it when you were little. But with humans it's not just our own experience, we have language and can teach eachother things. Even sayings like "where there's smoke, there's fire" are ways to pass on information that's important and born out of experience of those before us.

Humans aren't the only ones by the way. Apes teach eachother things, even if they have never experienced it themselves. And even birds share information (for example in England, how to open milk bottles *grins*)

Anyway, I'm going way too far here! Just ignore me :P

He's the dude with the dogs, right? (I'm too lazy to read all of that. Maybe later)

I might be able to make it brighter. All I really did was change the hue.
