FIRST QUESTION(A TF2 one)

As a scout I'm often killed by pyros and considering that your a great pyro, do you know of any anti-pyro techniques that a scout can do?

SECOND QUESTION(for the lolz, because I just love asking people sexual questions and them having to answer them :) )

Why do I have 2 balls?














Oh and can you make my question about the balls funny or something sneaky?

MAI QUESTION:

why is it that whenever I round a corner in TF2 there is always either a Sentry, Pyro or spun up heavy?

Near the corner horizon, it becomes increasingly impossible to have totally empty space, because that would be boring. This causes "virtual" particles to appear in Blu/Red pairs which quickly annihilate each other. However, sometimes one of them falls back out of the visleaf and is destroyed by the rendering system, leaving a "real" enemy behind.

This effect is predominantly Heavies, Pyros, and Sentries because those particles carry some of the strongest short-range forces. (This theory of course assumes the existence of a massless "spectator" particle that can carry information through the nodraw vacuum, but which is otherwise unable to interact with normal matter.)

that sounds familiar.... :D I feel strange having a grasp of particle physics at 6AM :p

EEP! It seems like I was gone so long some poser guy decided to answer!

Sorry, schools been hectic.

Anyways,

Why does the cash I have set out to use for whatever I need to buy this week vanish the second I need it, then reappear as soon as I spent cash from an alternate source on whatever I needed?

Now for TF2 related:
If two Heavies leave from opposite sides of the US headed for Nebraska, one traveling 20 MPH and the other leaving 40 minutes earlier traveling 30 MPH, how long before one realizes there's nothing for either of them to do in Nebraska, calls the other and tells him so, and they both go to Utah to mow down Scouts in the desert instead?
1. Its a clear example of "Potatoism". I have it all the time. Like just a few days ago I lost a calculator IN MY ROOM when it was next to my keyboard!

2. Probably a few weeks.

It aint a question but Ok
the (adjective) - an adjective used to describe a specific object or objects. Contrast A/An.

You think it is possible to make a single stage payload-race map out of a Koth/Arena Map? And if yes, how so?
Well, I think it's possible, but I would have no idea on how to make it fun.

Here's a tough one: Why did my dad receive a flyer in the mail yesterday inviting him to join the Seattle Girls' Choir? And why did they switch his first and middle initials when addressing it to him?
Clearly you don't know any of your dad's secrets. Perhaps he's really a girl? Or perhaps... someone just pranked you?

It doesn't catch on fire during the day D: It is merely a rock. There is too little, or no oxygen to catch it on fire anyways.

1. There is a method called Weapon Heckling that works wonders on most pyros. Generally, when they have out the shotgun or flare, get as close as you can for a split second and shoot with scattergun. When they have flamethrower, get out of range and pistol.

Most importantly, stick near medkits and try to get the ambush on them.

2. Because male humans only have 2.

And no.

Because those classes are the best at hitting unawares, and trust me, they try their hardest to be in that situation.

If I were to jump off a 6 story building (20m) and hit the ground only 3.28 seconds later, if you assume that I'm completely shaven, naked and greased up on a low air pressure day to eliminate air resistance, which planet am i most likely on (out of the 8 official planets of our solar system)

Show all workings and assumptions.

In that lack of attire, one would hope certainly not on Earth.

Which means... nowhere. Because there are no 6-story buildings on other planets.... OR ARE THERE?
