"New" (2006) Q&A thread

[Magrathean]

A: It is not, at least as far as i know.

Q: So what's the word's use in italian?

 

[hyena]

a: well, it means 'showgirl'. in french, on the other hand, it's supposed to mean 'chambermaid'. maybe the confusion comes from the fact that 'soubrettes' in France used to wear a uniform that was copied by italian showgirls in the eighties (short white skirts, nurse-like attire).

q: is culture important in your life?

 

[Magrathean]

A: What do you mean when you say "culture"? My country's traditions and so on? No, not really. Reading, science and so on? Sure, by all means. That was a really ambiguous question.

Q: Do you enjoy being enigmatic?

 

[Dark_Silence]

A: no, at least i have never heard that word. I guess it is not used very often. I have no idea what it means, and do not have a dictionary here...

Q: do you know the meaning of that word?

 

[Siren]

A: Yes, i know the meaning of most greek words.

Q: Is this greek to you?

 

[Wolfman Von Jones]

I guess, as greek as gyros

Do you want to take my throat infection away?

 

[Magrathean]

A: Uhh, not really. Rather, i hope someone else comes along and takes it away.

Q: What's your favorite greek word? Why?

 

[Zack]

A: Don't know many, but the thought of gyros makes me happy now.
Q: Do you want Rampage's Lich back?

 

[Magrathean]

A: No, the albino koala is disturbing enough for me.

Q: You do, don't you?

 

[Zack]

A: Yes
Q: Let's try more of your poetic stuff Describe a planet to me.

This is actually a kind of fun topic, because there really is no definition of a planet. That is why they have such big debates about whether new discoveries are planets are not...

 

[Magrathean]

A: A mere rock, whether alive or dead, gliding hastily through hollow space in a senseless slliptical spiral. (Yes, that sucked, i know.)

Q: Very well; what is mercury (the element)?

 

[Siren]

A: That which runs through my veins.

Q: What is slliptical?

 

[RampageSword]

A : That which slips?

Q : Who's Robert Lepage?

 

[Magrathean]

Siren: Whoops! I usually blame my keyboard when that happens.

A: An inhabitant of Earth, most likely.

Q: How many hours have you slept this week?

 

[Teddeh^]

A: about 12 hours, not too bad

Q: When was the last time you had a sense of deja vu?

 

[Magrathean]

A: Long, long time ago. I don't remember, actually.

Q: What do you think is the cause for déja vu?

 

[Teddeh^]

A: I personally connect it to the dreams I can remember... occasionally I dream something, forget about it then a very similar situation occurs in real life. It's not a premontion or anything, I guess my dreams are just strange

Q: Am I mad?

 

[Magrathean]

A: No. Just a tiny bit weird.

Q: What is "the violence of dark"?

 

[Rincewind]

A: When you're alone at night and you feel that the dark around you is really getting you, closing you in dark circle with no chance for escaping it's darkness

Q: Ever felted that way?

 

[solefald]

A:yeah

Q: Do you know The Super Adventure Club and knows what it actually believes?
