Interesting. Unfortunately I don't know much about graphene, but I do know a bit about other carbon structures (buckyeballs, nanotubes and the likes), and the number of potential uses for them is staggering. More than anything, I'd be interested to see if any such carbon nanostructures could...

Seconding what Gay Dolphin said- it's been nothing but rain and gray weather for the past few weeks in New England. I don't really care though, seeing as I hate excessive heat. It has kind of sucked though because lately it hasn't been really cold, but it's been humid as hell, which kind of sucks.

When it comes to teasing people, I wait until I know the person well enough to be sure that they have a good sense of humor about whatever it is I'm teasing them about. Generally this means waiting for some kind of verbal cue that they are comfortable with that particular aspect of their life...

I've found that over the years, one quote and one song have resonated with me more than most any others. I'm not sure who first said this, but it's something my father told me many times when I was younger and I've found it to be quite true, I even used it as my senior quote in my high school...

Don't be so sure about that, Danyul. I don't know where you go to school, but if swimming is something you enjoy then I would suggest that at least try out for your swim team. If you're at a D3 or even a slower D2 school, you could probably walk on pretty easily. I swim at a D3 school, and we...

So I did my first real session of dry land with my club swim team yesterday, and I'm ridiculously sore. Does anyone here have any experience with The Perfect Push-up? We use them, and they really good at destroying your arms. We also do chin ups, however our coach makes us go all the way down...

I didn't realize MIT had an aerospace program, I thought we were one of the only schools in the Northeast that had one. Anyways, I just finished my last 2 quarters of my freshman year in our schools Chemistry program, and I did pretty decent. Chem 3 & 4: B Calc 3 & 4: A Philosophy: B Music...

Well, my school revived our water polo club again this past year, and I played on that after swim season. It was fun, but it was more just an excuse for us to screw around in the water outside of swimming. We did a little bit of strategy and formation work, but focused mostly on ball handling...

Gluttony couldn't be the awnser, since none of the pokemon are holding items. I haven't even begun to consider anything other than Pokemon X using two moves in the same turn- I'm pretty sure that that part is crucial to unlocking the rest of the riddle. But, move B is likely a...

LickiLicky w/ magnitude vs. Floatzel I'm stumped on this one. I have no idea what attack Y might be, but I'm pretty sure that the only moves that allow a Pokemon to use two moves in one turn are Metronome, Assist and Sleep Talk; none of which (I think) would have two lines of text between its...

Are there any moves, outside of Metronome, Assist and Sleep Talk, that allow a Pokemon to use a second move in the same turn? (This is in reference to the latest riddle posted in the Pokemon riddle thread, by the way.)

Oh, well then, I stand corrected. Ignore my awnser submission then.

I thought that's what strict damage clause meant, but I wasn't sure. I'll take your word for it that Fire Fang works, I only bothered to check Entei's special attacks. However, assuming that the awnser is Porygon-2 tracing Wonderguard brings up two other issues. One, Wonderguard can not be...

A) Banette B) Shedninja/Unknown X) Shadow Ball Y) Heat Wave? 1) Banette lost 50% of its health and placed a curse on Entei. 2) this one doesn't exist 3) Porygon-2's Download raised it's Special Attack. 4) Porygon-2 evaded the attack? and clearly Entei has an item... Shedninja/Unknown are the...

Oh, wow. How did I miss that one? I'll really need to do better on my next one. Thanks for pointing that out.
