okie dokey these are the top 3 questions i have in my life so far if anyone would be kind enough to answer them… thanks xD

  1. ok so my moms brothers daughter had a kid which means im an uncle? (according to my mum)
  2. Why am i/other people intellectual whores?(laddertheory.com if you dont understand what i mean)
  3. Hulk + Entire U.S army + U.S Citizens with guns vs Blade + Chinese Fire Breathing Dragons x10 + Entire Chinese army (who wins?)

What are your top 3?
(on an unrelated note, im getting my username changed to KevinShi WOOOT!)

2

Is it possible your mother’s brother is in fact your mother’s son? Cos that would make you an uncle.

3

no im chinese. i call family friends/absolute strangers i dont know aunty and uncle or brother or sister etc etc. thats just how things work. its like the polite form. but yeah i was just wondering the western equivalency

4

Assuming no incestuous relations, your mother’s brother’s daughter is your [first] cousin. Your cousin’s child is your “first cousin once removed” but in common usage would still be called “cousin”.

ahh. sweet. thanks gyrate. anyone willing to tackle q2 or the more fun question q3?

6

I think you’re going to have to give us a lot more context for Q2.

Q3 - are we talking about everyone just running straight at each other screaming on a big empty plain or what? What weaponry is allowed? How much damage can a dragon take? Too many variables…

7

Yeah i didn’t have high hopes for q2 and i ceebs explaining. I’ll get back to you on q3 though. im thinking chinese army take us, 10 dragons take hulk and blade takes the citizens. and no for the people who play COD:black ops just a huuuuuuuuuuuuge expansion of nuketown.

8

No there’s not (too many variables). Unless the dragon can go immaterial, the side with the Hulk wins. The armies are cannon fodder. Blade, too.

9

Q3 – I need clarification. Which side gets the Fellowship of the Ring and which one gets the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad?

10

Since it already has changed, what was it?

And the ladder theory guy may be an intellectual whore, but it gets him attention. I’m pretty sure there have been threads on the topic before.

11

Cousin’s kids (I think that’s what you’re saying) are always niece/nephew in Asian cultures. Just the way it works. Thank god, or I as an only child would have no nieces or nephews. :frowning:

T1r3d@fTh1sCr@p. It’s preserved in the quote to which sandra_nz responds in Post #2.

The ladder theory guy needs to learn English. His use of the words “intellectual whore” is meaningless, as it does not appear to actually encompass the meanings of the words “intellect” and “whore.” AFAICT, it’s his phrase for people who subscribe to his theory and use it to get sex, people who subscribe to his theory and believe it’s why they don’t get sex, people who don’t subscribe to his theory but get sex through the mechanism it describes, and people who don’t subscribe to his theory and aren’t getting sex but are trying very hard to get sex through methods whose failure is predicted by his theory. in other words, everyone. As for the question “why are people intellectual whores?” – with that definition, it’s impossible not to be.
