Snake versus worm

"I'm writing a script for a cartoon movie about a giant snake that lives on another planet."

Will the snake get along with the worm? :) The Magnificent Clean-keeper (talk) 01:57, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Of course they will get along - they are the best of friends! Grundle2600 (talk) 01:59, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

If that's true we (homo sapiens) could learn from and should adopt...  ;) The Magnificent Clean-keeper (talk) 02:07, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Actually, in this movie, all members of the human race have banded together to try to avoid being eaten by the giant snake. Grundle2600 (talk) 02:16, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

I see. So it's just fiction, doh... The Magnificent Clean-keeper (talk) 02:24, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

I bet the bear will be gentle and the wolf will be tame, too. PhGustaf (talk) 02:47, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Sure, wolfs can be tamed but bears are less predictable I'd say. So who is the bear and who is the wolf?The Magnificent Clean-keeper (talk) 03:01, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Wild, non-rabid wolves are generally not a threat to humans. The wolf in this picture is being voiced by Roland De Wolfe, and the bear is being voiced by Bear Grylls. Grundle2600 (talk) 05:06, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

I could mention DeWolf Hopper, but that would just be a cheap try at getting Bugs back into the thread. PhGustaf (talk) 05:18, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

I have some "wolf" in my real name. Hopefully I'm in the non-rabid category but hey, who knows? lol The Magnificent Clean-keeper (talk) 06:20, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

I know how to tell rabid from non-rabid, and you're definitely in the safe, non-rabid category. Grundle2600 (talk) 16:06, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

I'll take your word for it.The Magnificent Clean-keeper (talk) 18:20, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Giant wind farms planned in the UK

I just came along this German news page and thought you might be interested to research this further as you have showed some interest in energy issues in the past. Here is the version translated by Google:.--The Magnificent Clean-keeper (talk) 20:54, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Same thing, but from the WSJ . Ravensfire (talk) 21:35, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Thank you, both of you. Grundle2600 (talk) 21:56, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

After ec, that's what I was about to post:

Thanks for the WSJ link although it's a subscribers only. I admit I'm lazy and was hoping Grundle might dig into this further for my convenience.

Cheers, The Magnificent Clean-keeper (talk) 22:01, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Huh - that's odd. I actually got to the WSJ article via google ("Dogger bank" as the search term, I think), and I'm not a WSJ subscriber. Ravensfire (talk) 23:16, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Guess I'm not a internet geek since "Dogger bank" is not in my vocabulary and your link is as I described above: "subscribers only". Maybe I should get an upgrade and re-boot?The Magnificent Clean-keeper (talk) 23:37, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Nah - Dogger Bank is just the name of where the wind farm is going to go. I grabbed a new link from the google search page, see if this one works better. I think WSJ checks if you came from Google, and gives you the article if you have, and the subscriber stuff otherwise. That new link is from the BBC, so should work! Ravensfire (talk) 00:19, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

"Nah - Dogger Bank is just the name of where the wind farm is going to go." Doh! Stupid me; And yes, that new link works just fine for me. Thanks. The Magnificent Clean-keeper (talk) 00:45, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Hey Grundle! Here is an article about it from an English language German newspaper! Grundle2600 (talk) 15:37, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Thank you! Grundle2600 (talk) 15:37, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

You're welcome! Grundle2600 (talk) 15:38, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Seems you have a polite twin brother *giggle* ;) The Magnificent Clean-keeper (talk) 17:04, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

The Canadian Calgery Herald has this article. Grundle2600 (talk) 20:23, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Does someone's word count?

Although I hate to re-open this again (and please feel free to purge it after reading):

"I will no longer make these kinds of suggestions on my talk page. Grundle2600 (talk) 18:51, 5 January 2010 (UTC)"

After similar pledges from your side on several occasions I must wonder and ask, when (if at all) do you intend to live up to it and respect your own words? The Magnificent Clean-keeper (talk) 22:59, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

OK. That's a good point. But the article had false info about a BLP, and I just wanted it to be corrected. In fact, even though the subject was a Democrat, my suggested correction would have made the subject look better, not worse. That being said, I do want to keep my word, which is why I erased it from my talk page. Grundle2600 (talk) 23:09, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Grundle, Grundle, Grundle. While your intent was good, and you certainly acted in good faith, please think before you consider doing such a thing again. And then don't do it. Grundle2600 (talk) 23:10, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

OK. Grundle2600 (talk) 23:11, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Your "twin brother" is right. The Magnificent Clean-keeper (talk) 23:37, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

• If you've changed your mind in regards of one or all of your pledges than just state so here on your talk page that you will obey the restrictions you were given by the community but not the ones you gave yourself. Don't be that kind of hypocrite that you reject and condemn yourself.The Magnificent Clean-keeper (talk) 23:17, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

And please see edit summary for more context. The Magnificent Clean-keeper (talk) 23:17, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

• It is important to me to keep my word. I wasn't suggesting that any new info be added - just that the wrong info be corrected with the right info. I don't think that violates my promise, but you do raise a good point, so just to be safe, I will go by what you say, and not make any more such suggestions. Grundle2600 (talk) 23:21, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

And could you please stop being funny while I'm trying to be more serious?The Magnificent Clean-keeper (talk) 23:20, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

• I do not know how to be funny. Grundle2600 (talk) 23:21, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

• In this case I do not take your word for it"! The Magnificent Clean-keeper (talk) 23:25, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

You mad my day so please don't ruin it by crashing my (Wiki)-dreams :) The Magnificent Clean-keeper (talk) 23:30, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Whoa! Someone just created a brand new account to fix the article, and they cited the exact same source that I had suggested. Grundle2600 (talk) 23:18, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Probably some meat-puppet... The Magnificent Clean-keeper (talk) 23:25, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Maybe, maybe not. Could just be a coincidence. It's interesting, though. Grundle2600 (talk) 23:29, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

• Anyways. Keep enjoying editing WP where you can. Best, The Magnificent Clean-keeper (talk) 23:41, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

• Thank you, for your good wishes, as well as for your understanding. I hope you keep having fun editing too. Grundle2600 (talk) 23:48, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

• You're welcome and for the record, I enjoy killing time on WP. At least it's not a total waste compared to forums and blogs. Just sayin' ;) The Magnificent Clean-keeper (talk) 00:07, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

• My concern is that my time spent at wikipedia reduces my time spent at doing really important things, such as watching TV. Grundle2600 (talk) 00:17, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

• Yes, what a bummer. I miss the commercials and "fake news" when I waste my time here, too. The Magnificent Clean-keeper (talk) 00:29, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

• If you get really bored, you could always try masturbation. The parts are always handy, and nobody gets hurt, pregnant, or blocked. PhGustaf (talk) 00:34, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

• Are you sure I can't get pregnant following your advise? Because if you're wrong I might have to file a lawsuit against you. How much money are you worth, if I may ask? The Magnificent Clean-keeper (talk) 00:52, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

• Masturbation is normally considered a solo sport. Done in full public view it becomes wanking. Done in company with a partner, it's not exactly masturbation any more and if things get sloppy you take your chances. PhGustaf (talk) 01:03, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

• So now you're lecturing me, me who is the master of my domain, and trying to talk yourself out of a potential lawsuit? Seems like you're worth quite some $$$$$ so I'll talk to my attorney who will get back on you about it. Sincerely (*giggle*), The Magnificent Clean-keeper (talk) 01:19, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

By the way, the word "masturbation" has it's origin in "must obey"(tion). I'm sure O'Reilly and "his" Russian chick covered this at some point, or maybe not? Well, they should IMO. The Magnificent Clean-keeper (talk) 01:25, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Did you just mention a political commentator? I thought you promised not to do that! Oh wait - that was me who made that promise! Grundle2600 (talk) 02:27, 10 January 2010 (UTC)
