AacRrc: Why not just amass a redhead army to take over the world and use everyone else as slaves? IF WE DO THAT CAN I BE GENERAL? I always wanted to command an army.
As long as it's understood that I'm overlord.

lowyhong: Orc, I challenge you to a boxing match. You and me, mano-a-mano, let's go.
Okay, but I warn you, I fight completely fair. Come prepared for a completely fair fight. I swear to not use any of my superpowers to unfairly affect the match. I want it to be fair.

Did I say "fair"?

So, I've been busily eating mass quantities of spicy food tonight. You all have about 14 hours left before I destroy the Earth. How will you spend it?

Denezan: Sorry but that just wont cut it. If you want to be able to destroy the world, you need to add a mixture of fried eggs and beans. Just to be sure you destroy the WHOLE world, not just a small town.....or just your pants, depending on the force achieved.
I'm pretty sure I can just pollute the atmosphere, I don't need to achieve any specific level of force, though there is likely to be a ground zero of some kind.

Okay pain tolerance experiment, handle diced habanero chillies barehanded, touch your penis. Time how long it takes to stop feeling agony. I think my record was about 20 minutes before I could do anything but wince and about an hour till the pain fully subsided

I've heard of spicing up your sex life, but that's over the top, mate ☺

So do I, but the colour isn't natural. It's from me eating spaghetti bolognese and getting it everywhere.

I became second in a chili eating contest, out of maybe 8 contestants. The guy who won was the organizer of the event.

We were all intoxicated though, I think that is what gave us super powers.

Has anyone actually seen one of these "recent studies" mentioned anywhere? I don't see a link or even a reference. Given that other articles on the site are "Exercise affects your genes" and "What drives a prostitute?", my confidence in this site's reliability is rather low.

This, of course, doesn't affect my confidence in orcish's super powers, which should be apparent to anyone participating in this forum. ;)

Reminds me of the classic English teachers' joke: German visitor enters a restaurant in Britain and orders a steak. An impatient fellow, he asks the waiter "when should I become my meal"? The waiter says, "I hope never sir. We don't encourage self-cannibalism here."

I inadvertently did that. Not as an experiment. It was pretty bad and took about an hour to subside.
Not a redhead though.

Did he apologise for his disgraceful use of the English language?

The situation was hypothetical - as said, it's a standard joke among English teachers, since confusing "become" and "get" is one of the typical mistakes Ger´mans make.

A couple of weeks ago, The Woman Of My Dreams (tm) spotted someone in an online world who kept asking "Who wants to become a T-Shirt?". After she informed him that his offer might imply severe mutilation of his customers, he changed his line and then actually started to sell some of his stuff.

True story: a Dutch innkeeper asked me if I would "become coffee in the morning?" (No, I'm only Java Man when I'm working.) It's an understandable mistake, bekommen = "to receive".

Yeah I'm aware (I actually speak decent German), the line was from a clip that I forgot to include :(

I can only imagine his English wasn't quite up to speed, I don't quite see that mistake coming from a typical Dutch mistake :)

Maybe, if he was trying to say 'will it be coffee this morning?' and then used worden = become in some kind of bad translation. Still sounds like an uncommon question to me, but then perhaps in a formal occasion in an Inn perhaps it's used more.

Unless you mistook Dutch for German of course, since we don't use 'bekommen' :)

Or maybe she knew some German, and ended up using the German verb in English. She definitely used "will you become". (I didn't correct her. Her English was far better than my Dutch, and she was too sweet to be pedantic with.)
