Tungsten rods with evaporated crystals, partially oxidized with colorful tarnish, as well as a 1 cm3 tungsten cube for comparison. Tungsten is a hard, rare metal under standard conditions when uncombined, but is found naturally on Earth only in chemical compounds. Its chemical symbol is W, which represents its alternative name, "wolfram". Photo: Alchemist-hp |

[edit] Greetings

--Me |
Hello!
Today is March 5, 2012.
Hi there! My name is Jason Palpatine.
I am single -- I never met Miss Right.
I was born in Philadelphia, PA, on November 5, 1958 .
I was originally Roman Catholic (by my mother). Currently, I am a member of the SDA or Seventh-day Adventist Church.
I was raised originally in Glenolden, Pa until 1965,and then Southampton, Pennsylvania. I now live in Warminster Township, Pennsylvania.
My mother was born on July 21 1931 and passed away on Halloween night, 1991.
My father was born in Philadelphia, PA, on June 1, 1925 and passed away October 28 2008. He enlisted at minimum age in the Navy in 1943 serving as a powderman on the USS Edwards (DD-619) during World War II. He and I have attended 3 reunions with his ship’s crew; the last one being 6 weeks before he died.
I have one sister. She is 2 1/2 years younger than me.
I am currently working for the Internal Revenue Service.
I have been to Las Vegas three times (once with my father and recently on business). On my last visit I lost $17 playing the Big Six wheel.
I have been to Walt Disney World 7 times (once alone). The last time was in 2000. My mother once commented that I am “the one who loves Disney World” in my family.
I enjoy Science Fiction, Music, Anime and the like.
My favorite games are Monopoly, Emperor: Battle for Dune, World of Warcraft, and Myst (which doesn't work on my current computer!).
First Wikipedia edit was on 2005-01-10 06:09:14
[edit] Conditions for falling houses
House must fall on me:
- in the middle of a herd of stampeding wild elephants,
- during a hail storm,
- at 12 Noon local time,
- on the Fourth of July,

- conducted by Academy Award-winning composer John Williams,
- begins to play "The Stars and Stripes Forever!"

Save Traditional animation!
[edit] Music I like
[edit] Classical music
- Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 6, the "Pastoral" in F Major (Op. 68)
- Le Sacre du printemps (English: The Rite of Spring; Russian: Весна священная) by the Russian composer Igor Stravinsky.
- Pictures at an Exhibition (or Pictures from an Exhibition; Russian: Карти́нки с вы́ставки, by Modest Petrovich Mussorgsky.
- Carmina Burana, the scenic cantata composed by Carl Orff in 1935-1936.
[edit] Three favorite carols
- "Adeste Fideles" ("O Come All Ye Faithful")
- "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing"
- music written by Felix Mendelssohn originally as part of Festgesang
- words written by Charles Wesley
- "Joy to the World"
[edit] What are the Four Pillars?
In the film Dead Poets Society, the students of the fictional Welton Academy prep school, are asked "What are the Four Pillars?" To which the student body answers "Tradition, Honor, Discipline and Excellence".
I found the question and answer interesting, much like the slogans of the Party in Orwell's Nineteen-Eighty-Four. I attended parochial schools for two years (I was withdrawn after my parents discovered how I was being treated) and public schooling for eleven years till graduation. Given past experience, in this day in age, I think a more appropriate answer would be:
[edit] Some random thoughts
- What part of "Thou shalt not kill" don't they understand?
- Deep Thought was wrong; the correct answer is "22," not "42" (ref "1984 and Beyond" by Nigel Calder )
- All the world's a prison, and all the men and women merely inmates.
- Never underestimate the scope for human stupidity.
- Don't tread on me!
- The higher, the fewer.
- This user did ask the question: "What can I do for my country?" The answer was: GO TO HELL!
- When one person says this is so and a dozen people say it's not so, it's obvious who's lying and who's telling the truth!
- Don't even think of asking this user any of the following questions:
- "Why don't...?"
- "Why didn't...?"
- "Why haven't...?"
- "Why isn't...?"
- "Why aren't...?"
[edit] A Story of Four People
- This is the story of four people named Everybody, Anybody,Somebody, and Nobody.
- There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.
- Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.
- Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody’s job.
- Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn't do it.
- In the end, Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done.

[edit] Dear Mr. Robert L. Ripley...
- During a 1984 television interview, a certain, distinguished but elderly scientist who shall remain nameless, stated that something was impossible! The look on this user's face was quite colourful.
[edit] Laws of note
- Murphy's law: "Anything that can go wrong will go wrong."
- Grinnell's Law of Labor Laxity: "At all times, for any task, you have not got enough done today."
- This user is very familiar with Grinnell's Law of Labor Laxity. In point of fact, for a time, he worked for a company that practiced that principle.
- Manly's Maxim: "Logic is a systematic method of coming to the wrong conclusion with confidence."
[edit] Misc.
This user is a fan of the original Battlestar Galactica, but is absolutely NOT a fan of Dynasy Of The Young And The Restless Of All My Children In Search Of The Guiding Light As The World Turns On The Edge Of Night All The Days Of Our Lives At Dallas General Hospital With Only One Life To Live In Space.
Captain Queeg is mental.
[edit] How to Win at Wordsmanship
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
| integrated | management | options |
| total | organizational | flexibility |
| systematized | monitored | capability |
| parallel | reciprocal | mobility |
| functional | digital | programming |
| responsive | logistical | concept |
| optional | transitional | time-phase |
| synchronized | incremental | projection |
| compatible | third-generation | hardware |
| balanced | policy | contingency |
The procedure is simple. Select a buzzword from each column. For instance, "systematized logistical projection," a phrase that can be dropped into virtually any report with that ring of decisive, knowledgeable authority. No one will have the remotest idea of what you're talking about but the important thing is that they're not about to admit it.

[edit] Contributions
[edit] Articles I have created
- Pigs Is Pigs (1937 film), about the 1937 Warner Bros. Merrie Melodies cartoon.
- Rage (1972 film), about the 1972 George C. Scott movie.
- Operation Red Card, about the MPAA operation which resulted in the seizure of some 6.7 million pirated discs in 12 countries across the Asia-Pacific region.
- Dangerous Wild Animals Act 1976, about a law of the United Kingdom regulating a citizen's ability to acquire a potentially dangerous animal.
- There were other articles; however, they were put to the Guillotine.
- Ref: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2001: A Space Odyssey (film synopsis). Note: I just want you people to know that just as the powers that be haven't changed their minds, neither have I. I still maintain that this was a wrong decision. I branched the synopsis article from the main film article in an act of good faith. This was the work of many and not any single individual. This user thinks 2001: A Space Odyssey is the best science fiction film ever made; and a 196 word synopsis just does not do the film justice.
