*steps outside to have a celebration with his good friend JAY*

*cowers*

Hold on, I'm going to have to check my list.

Victory is mine!

i'm half-drunk and i STILL realize you fail to win

Hark! I am zee winna!

This is childish on many levels, but I am still winning, just like last time I posted. :thumbsup:

ah, what's the use.

Someone should let a rookie win ;)

Or not.

:suave:

I'm still lurking!





(i win)

Granorp!

Rock, you can't win with nonsense!

You have to finesse this thread.

Now I'm winning.

The concept of Pi, an irrational number, has been calculated and explored throughout history from biblical times to the present. The Chinese calculated Pi and their value was used for a thousand years. One mathematician calculated Pi to 35 places and had it inscribed on his epitaph. With the advent of the computer, Pi has been calculated to over six billion decimal places. Whether it is of historical significance, mathematical importance or a personal goal, Pi has universal appeal.

Yeah. well take that!

Rock, I didn't understand a dang thing you just said, but I must admit you were winning there for a while.

Now, I am.

Then I stepped into the leaders' position.

I am winning! DEAL!

Many common chemicals undergo exothermic reactions. For example, simply dissolving sodium hydroxide (NaOH) in water produces enough heat that if this is not done carefully it could melt a plastic container! Our entry on oxidation has an example of an even more exothermic reaction.
The heat that a chemical reaction gives off can quickly heat the surrounding area (or rest of the chemicals in the container) to very high temperature. As temperature increases, the rate of chemical reactions generally increases as well. Thus, once an exothermic reaction begins, it can quickly "run away" -- accelerating its rate because of the heat produced. This can be especially dangerous if the material reaches its flash point or autoignition temperature, at which point a fire or explosion could occur.

Therefore, it is very important to know when a chemical reaction can generate excess heat and to take appropriate measures to deal with this. Examples include slow mixing, using a cooling bath or avoiding that reaction. Most mixtures of incompatible chemicals involve violently rapid exothermic reactions.

Rock is kickin' the knowledge

but I still win.

Excerpt from The Psychology of Motivation
By Denis Waitey
Focusing on Positive Motivations

There's nothing wrong with competition when it's employed in a friendly manner to push one another to greater heights. But too often, people today associate rivalry with aggression and find it difficult to conceive of competition that doesn't escalate into a free-for-all, with benches in opposing dugouts pouring onto the mound as they do in major league baseball every week or so. There will always be a place for competition, in athletics, business, and life. But what must change is the spirit that turns the mere acquisition of points into the number one goal.

When the extrinsic motivation of competition becomes the basis for our motivation, it drives us away from self-knowledge and self-discovery. This is what over-competitiveness shares with fear of failure. Both are misplaced motivations, distracting our attention from the big dreams and goals of self-actualization. When we are worried about beating other people, we can't focus on developing our own potential. We become outer-directed, instead of inner-inspired

Remember that all motivations arise from the same source: the desire to be satisfied with yourself. Even fear of failure, in its most basic form, masks a desire to feel good about ourselves - competitiveness also derives from the need for self-esteem.

So the roots of even these motivations are quite sound. They are present in all of us to some degree. How we frame our desires and how we define the benefits we expect to receive will determine what drives us forward and how far it will take us.

By focusing on positive, healthy motivations and letting the more negative ones pass, you can purify the source of your imaginative power. The longer you work on it, the easier it will be to frame your motivation toward intrinsic and positive achievement.

I will sacrifice my self to winning for the good of the rest of you. No further posts are necessary.

I take the lead, which undoubtedly will lead to Rock spouting more wisdom.

man, I was gonna concede to Rock, 'cause he's doing a bang-up job, but now that someone else messed it up...

I win.

I heard that you could not win with nonsense so I tried to up the class of the postings.

Ergo

hys-ter-e-sis:
n [NL, fr. Gk hysteresis shortcoming, fr. hysterein to be late, fall short, fr. hysteros later]
a retardation of the effect when the forces acting upon a body are changed (as if from viscosity or internal friction); esp: a lagging in the values of resulting magnetization in a magnetic material (as iron) due to a changing magnetizing force. -hys-ter-et-ic adj

now I'M the winner. for a while anyway.

We're going ot do the same thing we do every night Pinky.. take over the world..

So I win rihgt?

No, you don't win because I just passed you. I WIN!!!!

In my heart, Rockogre won this thread.

In real life however...

win?

And I take the lead...

Why thank you' I think I just did!

mtsgsd quietly bides his time.... no one will know he has posted the final,

DOH!
