Ah, but I meant no disrespect. Typos can make the world more interesting. And I do not intend to physically harm anyone.

Faiyloe! Phantasmagoria! Emulation! Positron! Arterial! Polaric! Acquiesce! Chartreuse! Illium! Jacqueminot! Lassitude! Versimilitude! Kaleidoscopic! Premunition! Cenotaph! Vivisepulture! Chatoyant! Cynosure! Juxtaposition! Superfluous!

*whispers* Are you dead yet?

None taken. I sometimes find my typos quite humerus. And Just because I am dyslexic doesn't mean I'm afraid of long words, I'm actually quite fond of them, I just can't spell them...  :P   

I had a lot of fun looking up the definitions to some of those words... the ones I didn't know. Keep it up ;D

I would play this game too but as I said I can't spell any of the words I would want to use and It can get quite aggravating when after trying every possible vowel combination you can think of spell check still wont recognize it... XP. Not that any of you would understand that except Leatho.  :P
I am back... sort of... maybe... Hi?

Here's a story.

Once upon a time a dragon kidnapped a princess. She said "Oh my gorsh, help me someone plezzz!". So knight A went to rescue the Princess (Peach). He said " Itsa mea, Mari-aggghh!" because the dragon ate him. Knight B decided to use his brain to kill the dragon. He made a plan. The plan didn't work. The dragon ate him as well. Knight C used a big army to kill the dragon. The dragon burnt them all and ate Knight C. The princess was "What, noooooo!" The dragon turned into a prince. They went to the castle. Then a real dragon came. The dragon ate everyone. The End.

The moral of the story? Never ever mess with dragons. ;D
The fastest way to a man's heart- Or anyone's, in fact- Is to tear a hole through their chest.

 Your story fails to convey the moral. The princess and the prince didn't mess with the real dragon at all, yet he apparently ate them anyway.

Lady Ashenwyte

Dragons like eating people with crowns.

No, no, no, you got it all wrong. This is what really happened...

Once upon a time there was a kingdom, and in this kingdom there was a castle, and in this castle was a king, and this king had a son, and this son, well he was a stuck up, arrogant, spoiled excuse for a prince. He also just happened to be the best swordsman in the land.

Now in the neighboring kingdom there was also a castle, and in that Castle there was also a king, and this king had a daughter who was more beautiful than the moon in a pool of glass, and more radiant than the sun at sunset over a crimson sea. She also happened to have a fierce temper, and a headstong mind.

One day the prince went of on a dragon hunt, and he managed in capturing the most beautiful, majestic dragon you have ever seen. He took it back to his castle and locked his prize in the dungeon of his father's  castle. His father was so proud of his son that he bestowed apon him many grand titles and hosted a grand feast.

Now word of the deeds of the prince had reached the beautiful princesses ears, and she made up her mind to go to this feast of his.

Half way through the main course she arrived, dressed in armor from head to toe, and challenged the prince to combat for the dragon. The prince scoffed at this but took the challenge, thinking it to be an easy win, but he was wrong.

They fought till dusk and on into darkness, yet neither could come out the victor. So in a desperate attempt the prince cheated, and only so was he able to win. However his father had seen his under handed deed and was enraged. He made his son apologise and he gave her the dragon.

She spoke to it in it's tongue, a rare gift of her's, and understood it's words. They became friends and it came to live in her kingdom, under her protection.

Welcome, all o' ye lackluster layabouts! In this 'ere thread we'll be 'aving a battle o' wits.
In this 'ere battle o' wits, ye try tae use your logic to subdue the other contestants. In doing so, we prefer minimal insults and no food fights. Or virtual physical fights, either. You may use riddles, tongue twisters, stories, logic, and science in this 'ere thread.
Away!
I would duel you, but you appear unarmed...   ;D

Lest settle with the fact that they are two different stories and that mine was better.  ;D

Here is a question, and I want to see this answered, don't just ignore it, What is the distance between the truth and a lie.

 If you mean in the metaphorical sense, the distance between the truth and a lie is infinite, because they are opposites.

I wish I could challenge you guys to a battle of wits but I came unarmed.  ;D :P :-\


If you wanna chat, PM me :) I'd love to talk with any of you!

 The previous statement is false, as anyone with a brain possesses a certain amount of wit, and anyone without a brain is dead. I am assuming that you are not dead.

One can not literally measure the distance between the truth and a lie, because they are abstract concepts. They are intangible.
