Brainbox Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 Hi, i'm new here. Obviously ;-) . My names Brainbox (well, actually its Sam) and i'm from Lancashire, England. I've been a fan of Lego for about 10/11 years. I like Batman and Star Wars most, but really i'm open to anything. Besides Lego, i'm also a fan of Batman, Doctor Who, Transformers (as is seemingly everyone else here!) and I also enjoy spending time with my friends. Here are a few slightly pointless facts about me for your... um... enjoyment: 1. My favourite Transformer is Shockwave. 2. I play the Tenor Horn in my school orchestra. 3. Brainbox, although not a nickname, is what everyone thinks I am. 4. My favourite book is Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. 5. My best friend is called Hayley. So, I look forward to spending many happy years here. You all seem like such nice people. One more thing, am I right in thinking i'm the only member here from 'up north'? Quote
Norro Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 Hey and welcome, A few quick questions: -What is my faviourite castle set's #? -How many lego pirate sets were produced? -What is the diameter of the Earth to the nearest mm? -What is your faviourite lego castle set? -What is the Average Young's Modulus of PVC to 3 decimal places (I'm honestly curious about this one so if you could give it priority...)? X-D X-D X-D God Bless, Nathan Quote
Minifig Lecturer Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 Besides Lego, i'm also a fan of Batman, Doctor Who, Transformers (as is seemingly everyone else here!) I'm not >:-( But hello Brainbox, welcome to EB *y* Good to see you! Quote
DoubleT Posted November 23, 2006 Posted November 23, 2006 Welcome, hope you enjoy it here *sweet* Quote
Brainbox Posted November 24, 2006 Author Posted November 24, 2006 A few quick questions:-What is my faviourite castle set's #? -How many lego pirate sets were produced? -What is the diameter of the Earth to the nearest mm? -What is your faviourite lego castle set? -What is the Average Young's Modulus of PVC to 3 decimal places (I'm honestly curious about this one so if you could give it priority...)? Oh, very funny. I'm not >:-( Sorry. And thanks, i'm sure I will enjoy it here. Edit from wikipedia: The Earth's shape is very close to an oblate spheroid, although the precise shape (the geoid) varies from this by up to 100 meters (327 ft). The average diameter of the reference spheroid is approximately 12,742 km (more roughly, 40,000 km/π). The rotation of the Earth causes the equator to bulge out slightly so that the equatorial diameter is 43 km larger than the pole to pole diameter. The largest local deviations in the rocky surface of the Earth are Mount Everest (8,850 m above local sea level) and the Mariana Trench (10,924 m below local sea level). Hence compared to a perfect ellipsoid, the Earth has a tolerance of about one part in about 584, or 0.17%. For comparison, this is less than the 0.22% tolerance allowed in billiard balls. Because of the bulge, the feature farthest from the center of the Earth is actually Mount Chimborazo in Ecuador. Quote
Governor Mister Phes Posted November 24, 2006 Governor Posted November 24, 2006 3. Brainbox, although not a nickname, is what everyone thinks I am. A few quick questions: Are you putting point 3 to the test Mr Norro? Quote
Norro Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 Are you putting point 3 to the test Mr Norro? I wouldn't phrase it that way... More like trying out a new resource... X-D ;-) God Bless, Nathan Quote
Zarkan Posted December 10, 2006 Posted December 10, 2006 Welcome! ;-) .... Er, I really can't think of anything else to say right now. X-D Quote
oo7 Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 Welcome to the forums BrainBox. So, do you play tenor horn in your school orchestra or school band? 5. My best friend is called Hayley. I see you were in a desperate need of good ideas on that last one and got lazy. :-P -What is the Average Young's Modulus of PVC to 3 decimal places (I'm honestly curious about this one so if you could give it priority...)? Helping Captian Tau with his dirty work? X-D Quote
Starwars4J Posted December 11, 2006 Posted December 11, 2006 Welcome. As long as you never again use Wikipedia as a source for accurate information, we won't have a problem :-D Quote
Brainbox Posted December 11, 2006 Author Posted December 11, 2006 Tecnically its an orchestra, but a) we've now got non-orchestral instruments in b) its called 'wind band' ;-) c) none of us care. I don't get lazy. I get bored ;-) . Quote
Norro Posted December 12, 2006 Posted December 12, 2006 Welcome. As long as you never again use Wikipedia as a source for accurate information, we won't have a problem :-D We should make this a standing rule... God Bless, Nathan Quote
