I just found out that I can fit a whole Norwegian dictionary in my pocket.

The dictionary is normal-sized. Probably due to the fabric of the loose jogging trousers I'm wearing, but who cares..

Hey, I love loose trousers. They're comfy and very well suited for sitting indoors. :)

Random Thought:

Why is the code for the following smiley spelled with only one s? : :embarrased:

It's:

Code: Select all

:embarrased:
instead of

Code: Select all

:embarrassed:
Typo? :P

Most likely. I thought about this long ago but thought that maybe whoever made the mistake didn't wanna bother changing it ;)

There are tons of stuff like that around. Most likely it's a typo because the orc is Canadian. But who cares. I just lined up chapter 5 for my thesis. So far: 170 footnotes. :proud:

Didn't bother? I think it's more likely that he didn't want, since it will screw up all posts with that smiley wrote wrongly. :D

That was exactly my point. Even at an early point it would mean way too much work for such a small mistake ;)

Is 170 footnotes a positive thing? Was there so much additional info you had to place in footnotes?

References, dude. When you're writing a history thesis, it's alpha & omega. ;)

Oh, well if they're references call them that. Footnotes can contain other stuff besides references, afaik.
