    If you're sticking with the tribal theme, yep I would imagine chipped flint type arrow heads would be a problem.

    OH GOD! Dont even go there! LOL... Wont stop me trying it though... Perhaps not this week LOL

    Just wondered...did the Aussie Aborigines have bows and arrows?

    This is supposed to be my bed time but I do not want to go to sleep. As long as I get to sleep by ten thirty pm and then wake up around six thirty am I will get eight hours of sleep. That will be enough for me. we take our medicine at 8pm. I am not told to turn off lights or what not. Another resident is told to turn off her tv at this time. nobody enforces that I need to go to sleep at eight. I try to aim to go to sleep by nine.

    Thanks for the link. Using a tool to add leverage and throw a spear is basically the idea which in some cultures became the bow and arrow. Different tech, same purpose/outcome. Very cool.

    Actually it is impossible to sleep tight while trying to keep zombies from biting you. You can either sleep or fight back zombies, but not both. it is best to find a zombie free zone and sleep so you can be well rested to find another zombie free zone.


    Maybe you can keep zombies back and sleep that is if you are fighting zombies in your dream. If that is too much of a nightmare then you probably should not play left 4 dead at night or watch zombie movies or something with zombies.

    They would have known about the bow and arrow through trade with what is now Indonesia and PNG in our far north - there are remnants from 20 000 years ago - but perhaps the extremes of wet and dry here would have been no good for bow strings ?

    Spyro you might want to tell the others that you Up-dated your Free item. The little thief fixed the limits in the Morph, so if you got it you might want to update your set.

    I'm just helping out others I hope.

    Yes.

    PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT!

    Tribal Bow has been updated. The morph now has default limits, so now your bow wont go crazy when you dial up the draw back morph!

    Also, An expansion for the bow will be released shortly, giving you a smart prop version for V4 and Genesis! Compliments of Jaderail :)

    I downloaded the update, but I'm not going to install until my render problems are straightened out.

    ...some people have bad hair days. I had a bad bus day today (complaint embedded)

    Fist, the bus I take into town was unusually crowded this morning and I had to stand all the way to the stop where i get off (nmever had to deal with this before). As i have serious arthritis it is hard to cram into a small space (especially the way the seats are set up on buses here) so I need a full, not just a "half" seat to sit.

    On the next leg of my morning commute, the bus was late because of bad traffic heading into town. Things only became worse when:

    Traffic westbound (out of the city centre) brought us to several dead stops, again untypical since the bus I take is heading out of the downtown core rather than in. Pretty much this was due to people on the highway just driving stupidly. So we finally get off the main highway only to end up waiting for a "nickle and dimer" to count out his change as he put it into the farebox. it gets even worse as, even though we were now almost fifteen minutes late, the diver waited for someone who was on the opposite side of the very busy street who waved us down (meaning waiting for a very long red light so they could cross over to the bus stop). I'm sorry if you are not at the stop before the bus arrives, it leaves without you. Consequently, I feared I would not make my connection to get to work.

    OK, so on the way home it didn't get any better. The route I take out of the area where I work has older high floor buses with those damnable lifts that take forever to work and often break down. So of course we end up getting a wheelchair which because of how slow the lift works, put us behind by nearly eight minutes. On top of that, traffic on the highway segment going into town was just about as slow as it was in the morning. .so there was concern about missing a connection it would have meant another twenty five to thirty minutes standing around downtown for the next bus because of all the recent frequency cuts.

    Ended up barely making it, as the connecting bus was a couple minutes behind.

    Looking back, maybe it would have been better if I had missed it for the bus became even more crowded than the morning run, which again was very unusual for this particular route. At one point I thought I would have to ride past my stop as the aisle and rear door was completely blocked. A lot of times when you ask someone to move aside they just give you a look and expect you to contort around them. Not going to happen with my stiff and achy arthritic body. Here in Portland we have these "low rider" buses which are great in one way since wheelchair boardings take little time compared to the older buses with lifts, but a pain in the other as people will frequently stand in the back doorway blocking the rear exit. Often i seems they also have a bulky backpack which just makes them even more of an obstacle.

    I'm sorry, I'm not a gymnast, I'm not a contortionist.

    Needless to say, I was extremely relieved when I finally was able to get off.

    I wish I could afford insurance so I could drive.

    help, please help me with percents math!

    sesame street didn't cover this.


    okay, this part isn't math yet, it's just obvious observation stuff.

    i have 5 apples and 5 oranges. so,
    50% of my fruit is apples and 50% is oranges.

    i trade-in an apple for an orange. 4 apples and 6 oranges
    40% of my fruit is apples and 60% is oranges.

    i eat 2 oranges. 4 apples and 4 oranges. back to
    50% of my fruit is apples and 50% is oranges.

    i eat half an apple, leaving
    3.5 apples and 4 oranges.
    now i'm stuck. help!
    how do make a 100% fruit with 3.5 and 4?


    thanks! :)

    doh, 3:00am.

    Logical fallacy 'cos your set of fruits contained no halves or not-fruits to start, the half that got eaten belonged to the superset of all half-fruit, no-fruit and fruit all along so everything still adds up to 100%. If you ate a whole fruit the remainder would still add up to 100%.

    They did master the boomerang! Had they of not been invaded so early in their technological advancement, I'd imagine they would have made something similar to the bow. But also environmental factors, hunting requirements and lack of war torn history prior to the English arriving would have affected their requirements for ranged weaponry. There were indeed disputes between their tribes, I have no doubt of that, however, to my knowledge there were not any 'great' battles/wars between them, like the historical Europe, China or japan. And the long spanning isolation from the rest of the world further backs that up.

    Is it true that 3delight render doesn't use more than 2 cores? or something.. I came across a thread that mentioned some sort of restriction on that render engine.

    Oh wow, i didn't know that! Indonesia is pretty close so I guess trade there is likely, but why would the English not have came earlier? Unless Indonesia was not discovered until late? (Then again, I guess there is a lot of myth in the time of discovery and on even the discoverer)
