Go ask the lizard-guy something....

I love that show. <3 That's part of the reason I like Avengers: Assemble so much, since it's a much lighter take on the Avengers.

We've actually had a very cool summer this year, with June being very wet, and July being almost cold ("almost cold" meaning in the low 60's at night, and low 80's during the day. Downright freezing for summer time). And then August hit, and it's like soup outside.

Projectors?

Minute physics?

Looks interesting. I'll have to take a look later.

Summers are similar here, but usually without the same degree of humidity. Lows in the 50s, highs can creep into the 90s and even 100s.

Projectors?

They are very projecting! If I ever build a gaming room, I've got plans for two of them - one mounted in the ceiling to project downward onto a gaming table; and one pointed at a white wall for a full-bodied Wii experience.

I think it would be fun for games. Especially FPS games. Because (at least if you got a good projector) a 12 foot viewscreen? glorious.

I've seen setups like that, and it is great! Especially if the screen - actually, more of a wall - is slightly curves along the edges to give it a bit more illusion of actual depth. Some ambient lighting that automatically adjusts to the primary hues being projected is a great touch, too.

Yes, I've given some thought to this setup.

Getting shot in the rump with an arrow?

Beats getting hit in the face with a sledgehammer.

[Chozon1]

I've always wanted to set up an outdoor movie theater with a projector. It has many inherent problems, but I think that, some tiki torches, and about fifty pounds of snacks and soda? Best summer night ever.

Arbitrary numbers?

Arbitrary numbers?

Why not? After all, studies have shown that 47% of statistics are made up on the spot.

[Chozon1]

I honestly wonder how true that is. I've done it before, if only in jest. It's surprising how much people will believe it though. O_o

Grody old Kool-aid?

Approximately 55% of people will believe a made-up statistical fact without checking the veracity. It's true!

Grody old Kool-aid?

Just like fresh Kool-Aid - probably loaded with artificial colors. You're better off with fruit juice or milk.

Shooting fiery rockets under water?

[Sstavix]

Shooting fiery rockets under water?

That is very easy to do. Rockets can't fire or burn underwater. So they'll just kind of sit there, maybe drifting aimlessly. They make very easy targets after that.

[Chozon1]

I disagree. Talking fireworks (as opposed to real rockets...you're probably right there...need to try it...), if you light them above water, rockets can and do ignite and fire underwater. It's really fun, actually. Because they make nice "shoop" noises, with a "k-thunk" "doop" if they hit something. Try it sometime, since most people believe the rocket will go out. Just uh...watch out for ricochets.

Ricochets are a superstition?

Ah, but you were asking about shooting rockets. I just misinterpreted your sentence.

Ricochets are a superstition?

Actually, they are a key element to strategy in many games, like billiards, pinball and Breakout clones. If you try to avoid ricochets because of some morbid fear that the sun will go out, you'll find your performance sorely lacking in these types of games.

[Chozon1]

Uncle Si said that. <3

Eating too much?

Favorite electronic instrument?

That is because its black powder both in the fuse and in the rocket, who consists of Sodium Nitrate, Sulphur and Charcoal, eventualla Sodium perchlorate instead of black powder.
It Carries it own oxygen, and gives off more heat than the water can transfer away. So gunpowder will keep on burning in water.

Luckily this is an English stie, i couldnt have posted it on a Norwegian christian site, because theyr swearing a lot
