Don't count on my vote. Maybe you could start that game in another thread.

Forget it, Sanjuro. Ryme's already stated that one thread like this is enough.

Great Caesar's Ghost! This thread is taking on a life of it's own! (And you should read the first post of this thread again, too!)

Question: Which is better -- Star Wars or Star Trek?
Re: Alphabet Soup - Game
Posted: Thu Dec 30, 2010 6:41 pm
Really, it depends. Star Trek produced better filmic productions (movies, tv shows) but Star Wars produced better textual productions (books).

Star Wars vs Star Trek? The BOTH begin with "S"!
Re: Alphabet Soup - Game
Posted: Fri Dec 31, 2010 10:05 pm
That's a tough one, but in the end, I like Star Trek better. It's hard to say why.

Well, sure, change the subject just as it's getting good...

You mean like the GURPS: Aliens creature, or the creature from the movie Alien, or are you really interested in geology?
Re: Alphabet Soup - Game

Zoology, wasn't it?

And thats a wrap.
Re: Alphabet Soup - Game

But I do want to point out that 'xenomorph' is a geological term.

Don't derail the conversation, Zillow. It was starting to get interesting.

For Shikao: A xenomorph is a rock structure; it's part of petrology, which is part of geology. Here, let me quote wikipedia:
A xenomorph (also: allotriomorph) is a mineral that did not develop its otherwise typical external crystal form because of late crystallization between earlier formed crystals. Xenomorphs are typical of matrix minerals in rapidly crystallizing volcanic lavas and shallow igneous intrusions. It is also typical of the interstitial or cementing minerals formed during the diagenesis of sedimentary rocks. The opposite is an idiomorph in which the external form is controlled only by the internal crystal structure.

Granted, but it's also the name of the alien from the Alien franchise.

However, he *did* ask what it meant in geology; I felt it was my duty to answer.

I'm totally lost as to what the actual topic is.

Kinda hard to add to a conversation when one has no idea what's going on.
Re: Alphabet Soup - Game

Let it be. Just respond to what is before you, and 'say yes'.
Re: Alphabet Soup - Game

Maybe you guys should talk about something else. TV shows, movies, books, whatever.
Re: Alphabet Soup - Game

Nah--it keeps getting sidetracked when someone comes up with a difficult letter.
Re: Alphabet Soup - Game
Posted: Mon Jan 03, 2011 12:42 pm
Of course, that's half the fun. If there were a topic we had to adhere to, it'd be a different kind of game.
