Excuse my horrible coding. Let me fix it: :eek: No, this means there are two domes in WV that are covered with gold leaf. Years ago I went to a Hindu temple that had the dome in gold leaf, and the inside of the temple, too. I had no idea about the capital building. ---

Ah, but I was once in the glorious field of engineering, and can compensate for the magnetic fields of FaerieLand. A simple Faraday cage, forged of cold iron, ought to suffice… > [@Anaamika](#): > > No, this means there are two domes in WV that are covered with gold leaf. Years ago I went to a Hindu temple that had the dome in gold leaf, and the inside of the temple, too. I had no idea about the capital building. I guess so. Apparently, thar’s gold in them here hills. > [@Anaamika](#): > > Please? It’ll just be for me!..and a few friends. You should think carefully before you make such a request. Go look at one of the pictures I’ve posted to one of the picture threads here. Go on, I’ll wait. See? It’s obvious that I’m a person entirely without rhythm. ---

Write a seven-book series about what happens there. …DAMNIT! ---

But as I was looking I glanced at your profile and see that you’re three years younger than me. How does that make you a doper brat? That means you’re 25, almost 26, right? ---

How does that make you a doper brat? That means you’re 25, almost 26, right? 26 and a half! 😛 And acting about half that, thanks. My understanding of the Bratpack is that it transcends physical age, and has more to do with being a Johnny or Suzy-come-Lately to the board. As opposed to the 99’ers. ---

When I went, it was 10 + years ago and they had just started building the grounds, etc…but the gold leaf was already up! ---

Late to the thread, but I’ve been thinking about it. I’d go through and not look back. ---

I’ve totally lost track of this thread, and every time I try to read it I find myself seduced by the siren song of tabbed browsing. ---

Two pages and no-one’s mentioned littering? Empty beer cans, pizza boxes, cigarette butts, soiled nappies, used condoms, mine tailings, nuclear waste - in they all go! Could be a profitable little sideline, too: got a body you need to get rid of, no questions asked? Contact Case Sensitive Discreet Disposals: Where The Service Is Truly Fantastic. Jadis of Charn? When it comes to ruthless villainy, she’s just a dabbler: any complaints and I’ll turn what’s left of Narnia into a parking garage. ---

> [@enigmatic](#): > > wouldn’t this make your house smelly/radioactive ? > > Or is your wardrobe airtight ? Oh, I don’t _live_ there anymore: I moved into somewhere considerably more palatial shortly after Saddam Hussein’s WMD {remember them?} disappeared. Besides, it may soon be needed for transporting a few other, er, items: some influential friends and I have been discussing the need for a regime change in Calormen. For too long now the honest citizens of that ancient desert land have groaned under the iron heel of the despotic Tisroc, whom we also suspect of posessing biological weapons capable of being deployed at a moment’s notice. This time, we _know_ we can locate them. Yep, it’s time to export democracy - overthrow the tyrant, win some hearts and minds, hold free and open elections, and liberate the people of Calormen. Of course, an interim military presence will be required, to ensure that any Tash-crazed fanatics don’t destabilise the transition to democracy in the region, and economic and political advisors will be needed, to make sure any new freely elected government is fully aware of their resources and how they may best be utilised: who knows what mineral wealth lies under those ancient sands? Oil, for example… Yes, we have _big_ plans for that little wardrobe: Marines go in, oil comes out.
