Are you implying that 2012 isn't the 100th anniversary of a 1912 event?

Then let me just help things along --

- water game!!!!

Note that this is being said while I am sitting in a half-full bathtub in one of the salon cabins aboard a friends Oyster 825 sailboat that is currently traversing the Panama Canal. Arrayed around me are 116 one-litre bottles of Evian, all on display beneath a huge portrait-size poster of Niagara Falls. And I am wearing water wings.

2012 - 1912 = 100.

Math wins.

116 bottles, you say? I wonder if that number has any significance.

I also noted the drink of choice - you think we are naivE?

Enjoy your vacation. Take the next 242 days off. See you in August.

Re: Water game

I'm totally joking but this must mean that there will be 116 floating game pieces on a half full field that is shaped like New York (right under Niagara Falls). Robots must fit through a small gap or fly (panama canal and water wings).

Ridiculous enough?

You ARE the robotics god! :ahh: You have the power everyone wishes they had!

The only problem is, in the event of something bad, you will never be taken seriously.

Eg.

Dave: "I'm choking!"
CD person 1: "Is that a hint?!"
CD person 2: "The word king is in choking! Maybe it's a king of the hill game!"
Dave: "Help!"
CD person 1: "Our goal in the game must be to help people!"
CD person 2: "Let's go create a thread on this and see the crazy unlikely things people come up with!"

The two leave, and just because I like Dave, I'll end the story by saying he stopped choking and walked away.

And that was a lot longer than what I thought it would be. Oh well, too late now ! :D

Well, three years of Mandarin were lost on me. For all of you too lazy to use teh Google, that's just Chinese for Princess.

A scissorlift is not what I expected to see at all last year though. Very cool.
