Is the world going to end this year?

20 June 2012 - 10:25 PM

I haven't heard much about this since last new year's but it was brought to my attention on this talk show where it was stated that this German scientist had butterfingers and destroyed the only thing that the Mayans said would "save" the world from an apocalypse.

Well, I totally disagree with the fact that the Mayans even said that there was an apocalypse, because all the Mayans did was run out of stone for calenders. However, many people interpreted that as no more calender meant no more life, and here we are today.

So what do you think about all this crap?

Btw, here is a video that I found explaining my point even further :

So, for some reason, I have this weird dream where BrainDen had a Youtube thing for like update things on the website, sort of like how the Smosh Pit has one.

I thought it was a good idea because then we would be bringing in more people from other parts of the web, if you know what I mean.

Acronymity

This is another word game, of COURSE!!!! :P

Anyways, this word game, based off the title, is on acronyms. I give ya'll a short story that ends with letters that you have to fill in the blanks to. For example:

George was caught driving drunk with his brother Jerry accompanying him, and a police officer was chasing at him at high speed. Jerry said, "What are we going to do? There is a police car chasing us!!!" George said,

ICHYOTPS.

Then you may fill in the blanks with whatever you may please like:

"I Couldn't Hear You Over the Police Sirens."

So yeah . . . .

Hear is the first Acronymity:

Shaggy was trying to find his dog when he came across a woman whom he thought might have seen his dog. Shaggy asked her about it and she replied,

OWISDYWS

GOOD LUCK!!!!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

An easy Math Puzzle

29 May 2012 - 06:09 PM

There was once a class in a far away land and other stupid crap you put in the beginning of a fairy tale. However the class was regular except for the teacher who we should call Mrs. Deaf because she screams so loud at her students that she made four of them lose their hearing. Everyone who knows her dread except for a younger student who we shall call Gauss because this is like a story I heard from ViHart with this same character.
Anyways, one day in Mrs. Deaf's math class before making Gauss deaf she assigned them a pop quiz with which she told them to find the sum of the first (insert number here) odd numbers, and all the questions were like this with the amount of odd numbers going above 100 for each one. However, Gauss finished it with ease handing it to Mrs. Deaf 3 minutes in. She told him to do it again because she knew it was all wrong and she didn't see any work of him adding the odd numbers. He told her "No, they are all right. If not, you can make me deaf."
"Deal" says the teacher thinking that she would win.
However, the paper was all right: Here's how it looked:

Find the sum for the first __ odd numbers:

112: 12544 350: 122500

222: 49284 500: 250000

    123: 15129


Furious at him, she broke her side of the deal and screamed at him, lying about how the paper was all wrong. The now deaf Gauss got up and as calmly as he came he went to his desk, waiting for Mrs. Deaf to make a look of sorry but she didn't.And the rest of the story doesn't really matter because the puzzle is already shown in front of us. The question is, how did Gauss sum up the odd numbers so quickly.
