Chicken/Egg
Which do you think cae first the chicken or the egg? Why?

Pro-Chicken
The Chicken because an egg would not be able to survive by itself. Eggs need to be warmed by a parent, and when hatched they need something to take care of it, show it how to survive. - Mit kebes T  13:33, 23 October 2006 (UTC)


 * however, this does not state whether or not the chicken/egg came first. This is just the care-taking of an egg.  Randfan 18:04, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

How would you abruptly get a chicken egg? Even by evolutionary standards, you don't just wait a long time and suddenly find a single chicken egg. How would it possibly mate without another of its kind? bibliomaniac15 03:32, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
 * A pre-chicken bird would still mate with its own kind- it just had a slight mutation that developed over time into our chicken. The genetic materials would be compadable with each other because obviously the evolution is an adaptation for the better so eventually all/most pre-chickens would have it. Randfan 17:40, 24 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Chicken. But the egg could have poofed into existance... No, I'll stick with chicken.-- S U  I  T 42 03:34, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Pro-Egg
I'm pro-egg because the genetic material doesn'tchange from egg to its older form. Therefore the first chicken as we know it would have come from an egg (some pre-chicken bird layed the egg with a mutation in it that later turned into the our chicken). Randfan 00:32, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm pro-egg, but the real question is how do you define a chicken? The egg would have come first, but the point at which the egg contains what we call a chicken (instead of, I guess a lizard or dinosaur) would be hard to define.-- Kyok o  14:40, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree with Kyok  o  14:40, 23 October 2006 (UTC).  I look up how we would define chicken.


 * for now I'll call it:

Gallus gallus, a domestic fowl bred for flesh or eggs; believed to have been developed from the red jungle fowl.Randfan 18:05, 23 October 2006 (UTC)


 * I'm pro-egg. How could a chicken come into being without an egg? Eggs were also around long before chickens.H e mh e m20X6 15:29, 23 October 2006 (UTC)


 * How can you be pro-anything if you don't know why which came first in your mind? For us "eggers" the egg cae from some long dead species of bird or lizard.  For the "clux", you'll have to just ask them... Randfan 21:11, 23 October 2006 (UTC)  P.S. the nicknames could be better....


 * Silly question. Of course, the egg came first. It's what's for breakfast. Chicken is for lunch. Jcam 22:14, 24 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Eggs predate chickens. Dinosaurs laid eggs.  There were no chickens during the age of dinosaurs (indeed, chickens are descended from egg-laying dinosaurs).  Ergo, eggs came first. --Jayron 32  05:32, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Indesicive or otherwise

 * The egg of a Red Junglefowl - I think the "chicken or the egg" thing refers to a chicken egg. Would you count that as the chicken (since it's not a chicken egg) or the egg (since it's still an egg)? --Friendly Porpoise 11:06, 26 October 2006 (UTC)


 * The egg came first, but only after the chicken. haz (talk) e 16:54, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Mole
Happy mole day everyone! ('specially "eggers" 'cause they're my group)

Sowhich came first the mole or the egg? Randfan 21:19, 23 October 2006 (UTC)


 * The egg, silly! Avogadro came much much later. Let's see how many people understand! Rather of an inside joke. -- Kyok o  14:25, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Now I get it. LOL Randfan 16:45, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
 *   Thank goodness for Wikipedia. And Science Teachers!
 * I am listening to Andrea Bocelli's Un Nuovo Giorno for the 6.02th time! x I started listening to it at 10:23, will probably continue until forever. Though, on second thought, NaH! Never mind. COt it3 —  E  ditor at L arge ( speak )   02:48, 25 October 2006 (UTC) The preceeding cryptic comment was added by an extremely scavenged user.


 * This is an explanation of the whole mole day thing, for those of you who don't get it:


 * I'm not talking about mole (animal), mole (sauce), or mole (skin marking). I was thinking about mole (unit), which is used in chemistry.


 * Have you ever looked at the Periodic table of elements? You'll see that for every element in the detailed version of it, they list its atomic mass. For example, hydrogen (H) has an atomic mass of 1.00794 (let's round that to 1), oxygen has an atomic mass of 15.9994 (let's round that to 16). That means that for water, which is made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, you have 1 + 1 + 16 = 18 as its molecular mass.


 * There's this number called Avogadro's number, which is approximately 6.022 x 1023. The 1023 part means that it's 10 multiplied by 10, 23 times, a huge number. This is equivalent to 602200000000000000000. Anyway, somehow scientists figured out that if you get 6.022 x 1023 atoms of an element together, the whole bunch will have a collective mass of whatever their atomic mass is, expressed in grams. This would be one mole of the element. So one mole of hydrogen would have a mass of approximately 1 gram, one mole of oxygen would have a mass of about 16 grams, and so on. This works with chemical compounds too, so one mole of pure water or H2O would have a mass of roughly 18 grams.


 * Mole Day is an unofficial holiday celebrated by chemists in North America, on October 23, between 6:02 AM and 6:02 PM, making the date 6:02 10/23 in the American style of writing dates. The time and date are derived from Avogadro's number, which is approximately 6.02×1023.


 * And so you see what Mole Day is all about. -- Kyok o  18:58, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

FA medal
Hi Randfan, thanks for the medal but you should know I haven't created any FA's. I contributed to a few but never created any (A few FL's though!). I therefore cannot accept your nice gesture. &mdash; Moondyne 15:53, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Thank you Randfan, I am very appreciative of you concern, but, good news! She returned later on it the night, barking at the front door to be let in. Silly bugger.

First Edit Day
Yep, the sixth was my first edit day. One-year anniversary on Wikipedia! Bearly541 accidentally sent me a first edit day banner instead of a birthday one, that's why it comes before some birthday wishes. I told Kyoko the story of my first edit: "I was at my grandparents' on the week-end celebrating my birthday (it was on Friday and I was there on Sunday), and went on the computer while they were fixing up the cake. I looked up something on this Wikipedia site I'd been hearing about, noticed (somehow) that there were pages for some of the Mayors of Ottawa missing, and started on J.P. Featherston's page. So my first edit was a new article, when I was supposed to be celebrating my birthday!" I'm wierd... — E  ditor at L arge ( speak )  20:56, 7 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the offer! The cake is lovely to look at, but I'd love some pumpkin pie... I ran out this morning (had the last piece for breakfast). — E  ditor at L arge ( speak )  23:44, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
 * [[Image:Fork6233.jpg|100px|left]]Whoa! I think you might need a fork to help me eat all this... — E  ditor at L arge ( speak )  01:07, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Wikiplomacy
Hey Randfan, as Wikiplomacy is gone, would you be ok with me deleting your user subpage on the topic? I understand all this stuff is moving to another wiki or something, with existing pages being MfD'd - it's simpler to avoid the paperwork involved in that if you're ok with it. --Improv 07:03, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Uh, hi? Well, I heard there's going to be another llama revolt tomorrow. Chuck Norris might me in it. Totally true. --The Gr e at Llama talk 22:31, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject Dragonlance
Hello. I must have missed your joining. Good to see you involved. Have you done any work with it? I can't seem to remember. Also, I noticed you created a template for becoming a member of the WikiProject Dragonlance. We already had one, now then, there's no reason to delete it, I think (I'll ask around), but in the future say something on the talk page. If you did, forgive me; I was gone for a while and lost my bearings somewhat. See ya! DoomsDay349 19:22, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh no, I don't want to get rid of your template, it's fine. As for minotaur wars, you're in luck; after I finish Amber & Iron, I'm starting those so we can work on it together.  DoomsDay349 20:22, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
 * No, don't bother waiting up. I should finish A&I this weekend and have Minotaur Wars done before Thanksgiving, so if you finish first it's no problem; I'll be right along.  DoomsDay349 20:26, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Ok, sounds good. Do you have the whole trilogy or will you need to get them?  I just purchased Night, Tides, and Empire of Blood so I'm set.  DoomsDay349 20:30, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Hehe, I've got this weird need to own all my books, so I buy as many as possible...bibliomania, perhaps? DoomsDay349 20:38, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
 * If there is a large bookstore near you, B&N or Borders, perhaps, you can order them. I have to do that for a lot of Dragonlance books.  DoomsDay349 20:41, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Agreed to E@L's case. As for your postal system, that's disturbing...do you live in America?  You should write a letter (oh the irony!) to the U.S. Government or at least your state government to set up a postal system...it's one of their Constitutional powers, and thus one of their duties.  DoomsDay349 20:51, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Hope things work out alright! Look forward to working with you. DoomsDay349 21:00, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Freelance writer
I apologize for editing your user page, but your Talk Page was taking forever to load because of a very large flash animation. I am a freelance writer working on an article about the wide array of people who make Wikipedia their life, their passion, their pastime. Wikipedia “addicts” if you will. I’m looking for people just willing to tell their story of how they got sucked into the intellectual whirlwind that is Wikipedia; how you got started editing, how the obsession grew, and what you spend your time focusing on these days? Do you write articles from scratch? Is your main push toward one particular type of article? Do you patrol for typos and errors, or spend your time diligently fixing vandalism? Do you take part in the “social aspects” of Wikipedia; engaging in animated discussions or decorating your user page with all sorts of internet memes? Have you ever forced yourself to take a “Wikipedia break”? If so, what’s your 20/20 hindsight on the obsession? Basically I’m just trying to get an idea of what it’s like for various Wikipedia “addicts.” I am particuarly interested in talking to you to discuss the Wikipedia Kindness project which you are apparently a part of. If you are interested in participating, please email me at brianwrites@gmail.com

Re:language wiki
There is http://conlang.wiki.com, but its criteria for inclusion is too confusing for me. I created two conlangs: One that is only written, and uses symbols from the Wingdings font, and one that is a twisted version of English, with words spelled as they sound, the omission of "to be" verbs and articles, etc. They're anything but professional, but I like making them up anyways. (Maybe you could create a new wiki for constructed languages!) -- Gray Porpois e cetaceans have large brains 00:47, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Redirects
Hi Randfan. Sorry about having to clear up the redirect in your barnstar. There are three cross-namespace redirects left (E@, E@C, and E@ Coffee), and they should really be deleted at WP:RFD. I will propose them there, and you may agree or not agree, but if you do agree that they will deleted under the redirect guidelines - it will save a lot of time if you just add a db-author speedy-deletion tag to them. Thanks for considering this option. Please point me to any previous discussion of these redirects if there is any. Any replies may be posted here. -- zzuuzz (talk) 01:38, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi again Randfan. Thanks for tagging those - someone else has tagged the other for deletion at WP:RFD. I am just replying because of your response which said that E@ Coffee is easy to type. I would just like to point out several easier-to-type shortcuts, which do not violate the guidelines for redirects. They are: WP:Coffee, Esperanza/CL, WP:COFFEE and WP:ESP/CL. -- zzuuzz (talk) 12:49, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

don't worry about it
Hi Randfan, don't worry about leaving images and such on my talk page, it's not necessary and it will only slow things down for people who aren't on broadband access. Thanks anyway. -- Kyok o  03:51, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

E@L and Kyoko Return!
Thank you for heralding the return of two of our favorite Wikipedians and for giving them (as far as I can see) your undying support. We need more users who are as compassionate as you. In fact...

Good on ya
Randfan, I would like to just express how proud of you I am for supporting E@L through her hardships. If you don't have a Barnstar for this, you certainly deserve one! Your friend J  a  m  o  05:01, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

While I think it is highly irregular that the pages that were blanked happened to belong to users whom you have chatted with, I'll take you at your word that you weren't responsible, and yes, you are still my friend. Just please try to make sure this doesn't happen again, OK? Thanks. -- Kyok o  02:40, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * No hard feelings :-) I will promptly delete the userbox, although I see it as funny because it isn't true. And don't worry, you're getting a fancy template soon! (Kindness thank-yous: Major backlog requiring the help of one or more experienced editors...) — E  ditor at L arge ( speak )  23:31, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, please try to prevent that talk page blanking from happening again. Don't do anything that will get you in trouble, though. Also, I'm not sure how else to say it, but I'm surprised that your community has so few computers, but when you consider where I live, that probably explains my surprise. -- Kyok o  00:19, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I wasn't thinking that you would do anything violent, if you were wondering. Totally unrelated, but I hope that my page isn't so popular because of people who are laughing at me, thinking "how pathetic, what a loser". -- Kyok o  00:32, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi, if you would like this under another heading, I'll let you choose your own title and where to split the messages. As I say on my current userpage, I can be way too bleak for my own good. I had this mental image of you beating up the vandal, and then I thought, no, that's not going to happen. Maybe it's due to that dark tendency that I worry about people making fun of me. That and the self-esteem problems. -- Kyok o  00:44, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * In Randfan's defense, it seems to me that what happened was he picked a random target who happened to be one of us, and then when we started reverting him and he struck back. Suspicious, I must say, but I believe Rand 100 percent.   Dooms Day349  01:03, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Archive?
I suggest you archive your talk page soon. It's getting very long. &mdash;The Gr e at Llama talk 23:36, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, definitely shorten the time to archive. Mine's 5, but anything from 3 to 8 would probably be good. And yes, you can simply change the "15" to "3" in the two instances it appears in the template. &mdash;The Gr e at Llama talk 23:41, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I've never seen it in my life until now (although, since I'm undead, you probably wouldn't count this as part of my "life". But I'll say this anyway: Hooray for interrobangs! &mdash;The Gr e at Llama talk 23:48, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Yowza!
Wow! That's my sixth barnstar! And my fourth RAoK barnstar. Crazy. Thanks man!  Dooms Day349  01:10, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Oops! No, not yet. I am actually considering adjusting my sig so my name is simply DoomsDay.  Just a thought.  I've got too much to do; involved in an RP elsewhere, Esperanza debates, not so secret plans to get on the Esperanza AC (that does not leave this page, I'm serious), and an essay I'm considering writing, about how you shouldn't add Weak or Strong to your votes.  Doesn't leave this page, you hear?  Dooms Day349  01:34, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

several answers
Hi, I'm putting this under a new header. To answer your questions, I think I first met you when I was watching the list of recent changes and I saw your name. I've struggled with low self-esteem and depression ever since I was a teenager, so that would be most of my life. And if you were wondering if I had some special connection or knowledge about what happened to E@L, I was once in an abusive relationship with a man who knew very well how to take advantage of both my low self-esteem and my desire to avoid conflict, and so I'm especially interested in matters related to violence against women. That's why I felt particularly concerned about E@L. -- Kyok o  01:10, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi there, thanks for the encouragement and also for the barnstar. If you don't mind, I'm going to try to bring up my mainspace edit count up for the day, so don't expect an immediate response, OK? Thanks again. -- Kyok o  01:25, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Okay, I won't give you any response for now so you won't be troubled by answering it. but if I did it would say "Your welome!", or somethin' of the sorts. Randfan 01:29, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Nice reading your warm contributions to the discussion. Low self esteem is pretty common, isn't it. More people have it or have had it than you would guess at first sight. Itsmejudith 01:51, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Next, either go to the place where that image is saved, and right click on it. Click "Edit". Now, there are a few ways to resize it (and possibly even more that I don't know about): Either click the "Image" bar then "Stretch/Skew", or click one of the square dot thingies on the edges and move it.

Thanks for the T-day wishes! Unfortunately since I live in Germany I have to work today and tomorrow :-( ... But we're having a post-Thanksgiving feast on Saturday. —Angr 16:47, 23 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Well, since Germans don't celebrate Thanksgiving, there isn't a normal way to say "Happy Thanksgiving" in German. On American TV shows that have been dubbed into German I think they say "Frohes Thanksgiving". "Frohes" is pronounced "FRO-ess", and "Thanksgiving" is pronounced with a German accent ("Senksgiving"). —Angr 17:32, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Some love 'em, some hate 'em. Hope you're in the category of those who love 'em. I think they go well with roast turkey. Today I'm thankful for vegetables because they live a happy life before they are killed, and they give us many vitamins and minerals. It was lovely to get the turkey and the smile.

 * Thanks! BTW (I hate internet slang), I've marked Randfan with, since mainspace pages aren't supposed to redirect to userpages. Also, you can link to images without actually displaying them by putting a colon before them (like this: Image:Whatever.whatever .

Thanks...I am taking a break (mini) from the Hinduism article for a while. It is going to be one of the hardest to earn Featured article since its length and its overall subject. But now I am working on This article, lately it has been praised by many editors as my best work, including Riana, Llama man and even an administrator! I am hoping to earn it a Featured list.

 * You might be right...The longest edit for me was about 40 miniutes. Oh well or he is very busily hovering trying to find an article to contribute to...like me I am 20 edits away from having 1,000 mainspace edits! It is hard right now since the random button keeps thowing me great articles and vandalism is really down right now.

Hi! I'm here just telling you that you might wanna change the date in your second talk page archive from 365 days to about 15. Also, I made the links to the "pages I created" -->images actually linked, instead of a copy and paste job. So... That's it, if you have any questions or comments just leave them at my talk page (unfortunately it's a shared IP address...). 216.9.250.61 05:54, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

flu
Hi Randfan, yes, I think I have the flu. It's more annoying than distressing. You don't need to fill my talk page with images, if that's what you were thinking of. Thanks for thinking of me! -- Kyok o  17:39, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I just find it distracting and somewhat bothersome having to scroll through many images in order to find the actual messages... even at full-screen mode on my 17-inch monitor, there were images on E@L's page that overlapped one another. So I really would rather you didn't do that, OK? Thanks, and I'm sorry. -- Kyok o  17:45, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

I wouldn't call it spamming. And I guess mine's more popular because there's an image of Chuck Norris and a llama on my userpage. (But it will only work for the first person who does that!) &mdash;The Gr e at Llamamoo? 23:39, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Here's a llama

There's a llama

And another little llama

Fuzzy llama funny llama

Llama llama duck

Llama llama cheesecake llama

Tablet brick potato llama

Llama llama mushroon llama

Llama llama duck

I was once a treehouse

I lived in a cake

But I never saw the way

The orange slayed the rake

I was only three years dead

But it told a tale

And now listen, little child

To the safety rail

Did you ever see a llama

Kiss a llama on the llama

Llama's llama tastes of llama

Llama llama duck

Half a llama twice the llama

Not a llama farmer llama

Llama in a car alarm a llama

Llama llama duck

Is that how it's told now?

Is it all so old?

Is it made of lemon juice?

doorknob ankle cold

Now my song is getting thin

I've run out of luck

Time for me to retire now

And become a duck

Autograph book comment
Hi Randfan, I looked at your autograph book again and I thought I would say a couple of things:

1. If this were Slashdot, the proper comment for a first poster would be something like "FP!!! KYOKO RULZ!" but I stopped reading Slashdot because of all the trolls and such. Too stressful.

2. If you look at the timestamps, aren't AndonicO and King Toadsworth tied for second, which would bump Tohru Honda13 down to fourth, if you follow the way that Olympic medals are assigned?

Just a thought. Or two. -- Kyok o  20:15, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Question about RV
This is an offline version of decent version articles that were collected. It is to serve as a sideline-offline project to give WP to a greater number of users. This is done mostly to give knowledge to people who don't have Internet access and don't have too big of hardware material (think of all the African countries & the Third world countries). We opt for a paper version in the future and that is why we are collecting a good deal of good articles to have a decent material to offer. This doesn't mean WP will come down to these articles and everything else discarded. Goodday, Lincher 16:26, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Block messages
Hey, Randfan! I noticed you've been putting a very large amount of username-block messages on talk pages in cases where it's obvious. Personally I don't feel it's necessary, and they may be removed. Just a heads-up. ★ MESSED ROCKER ★  21:14, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Blocked user's pages
Hello. I have noticed you're recreating userpages of indefinitely blocked users. Can you point out any use for them? Per WP:DENY, we're routinely deleting such pages after one month anyway (see CAT:TEMP - the template you're using adds the pages to that category). Миша 13 21:18, 21 December 2006 (UTC)


 * No problem. It's just that our policy against vandals is block & forget. They don't even deserve a userpage, that's why we call these "temporary" - you're not even going to raise your edit count this way. ;-) Moreover, if I am not mistaken, if a page is deleted, it prevents Google from indexing it and showing up in searches (and we don't want some of the usernames to show up, ever). Finally, the summaries you used suggested that you were blocking these accounts and created a false impression on a few people that you are an administrator. Thanks for understanding.
