This is a fun thread. I think I've learned more about Torpedo from this thread than from years on the other forum. #11 What's a typical day like in the life of Torpedo? I gather that EAGLE spends a lot of her day caring for relatives, but what's your day normally like, Torpedo? I believe you've hinted that there's some Madden involved, and I'm guessing you allocate a block of time to spend annoying EAGLE, but there must be more.  #12 You're turning 19 next month, right, but I think you mentioned you don't drive. Any plans for obtaining a driver's license soon? #13 Is there a story behind the name, Torpedo? |

14. What is your best posted measure for the Kessel Run, and with time and practice do you believe you'll ever manage it in fewer than 12 parsecs?

Wow, thanks for posting this! I've always wondered about the Kessel Run claim, and how Han talks about 12 parsecs, but parsecs are a unit of distance, not time. It's kind of lurked in the back of my mind, but I've never looked into it...until now. But your post just now, made me check this out over on Wookieepedia. So it wasn't Lucas screwing up his units of measurement, but Han Solo really did do it under 12 parsecs, by getting close to the Maw black hole cluster. That's great! Thanks! http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Kessel_RunHan Solo claimed that his Millennium Falcon "made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs." The parsec is a unit of distance, not time. Solo was not referring directly to his ship's speed when he made this claim. Instead, he was referring to the shorter route he was able to travel by skirting the nearby Maw black hole cluster, thus making the run in under the standard distance. However, parsec relates to time in that a shorter distance equals a shorter time at the same speed. By moving closer to the black holes, Solo managed to cut the distance down to about 11.5 parsecs. The smuggler, BoShek, actually beat Solo's record in his ship, Infinity, but without cargo to weigh him down.

#4a.
Say you have a 64-pack of Crayola crayons. I remove the Periwinkle, leaving 63. If you ranked them from most favorite to least favorite, which crayon would be in the middle of the ranking (at number 32, if you're actually working out a list).
#4b.
Same question, but I remove Burnt Umber instead. Be careful -- this one could be a trap.
I don't have 64-pack of Crayola crayons to examine so I can't answer either of your questions. |

#5 Torpedo. Do you feel underpants should be worn over or under? With or without a yellow belt?
By rules of Clive "Additionally or alternatively, you post an answer to someone else's question, if Torpedo hasn't yet answered it." so I'll just wait for someone else to answer your question for ya.  |

Torp - exactly how does it make you feel to know your sister who is probably one of the smallest ladies around considers you her LITTLE sibbling?  First of all there is no probably. And it doesn't bother me so I guess it doesn't matter to me. |

6. What do you wan't to be when you grow up.
7. What is your golf handicapp?
I haven't decided yet. And I don't have a handicap but play to about a bogey golfer, and would probably be better if I could get out more than 8 times a year though.  |

8. Two roads diverge in a yellow wood, sorry you could not travel both and be one traveler, which road would you take, and why?
The one to the right because I'm right handed. |

I believe, by the rules, the responses must be 10 words or more. You may want to follow the smileys with "The Vikings have the number one run defense in the nfl!"
lol And that they do.   |

The one to the right because I'm right handed. A basis for soooo many decisions. |

Cool.

No, not a business, (yet ) family/friends know "I'm not too bad" with computers so I get a lot of phone calls ... I have been offered a few jobs to help build PC's for a friend of ours that is a tech, but things always come up  so I haven't accepted any yet ... |
