Been a while since I posted... but every so often a thread grabs my curiosity. I've beaten it twice in a row now with Inigo from Peter F. Hamilton's The Void Trilogy and 5 from Peanuts. Now to see what else I can stump it with...

Sorry guys, once again med school decided to rule my life with study about immunology and microbiology and haematology and every other -ology under the sun. Unfortunately, I simply don't have the time to commit to this site in a posting sense anymore. Even though you guys do a fantastic job...

I got mine for some threads that I set up, they're all available from my profile page if you're interested. Edit: The important thing to understand about the Thanks! badge is there is no one way to obtain it. Everyone who has received theirs has done so for different reasons. Hence the air of...

That's a very concise explanation, thankyou! It's curious to find that it's actually impossible to reach the speed of light thanks to the energy input required to reach that state being impossible. I wonder what implications that has for travel in space? I suppose the long held science-fiction...

Not really me you should thank, it's the contributions of others that make this thread a success. I just do the admin work!

I suspect it'll be a very hard piece to learn (particularly because the middle section is very quick) so it might be a few months until I can make a recording of it (by that stage hopefully my piano will have been tuned again, yay!) but it's an amazing song, even more so when you know that...

It's very nice, I'd love to hear you play it sometime! I particularly like the bass notes in this piece, for some reason the opening minute or so reminded me of music off a Final Fantasy game. I'm not quite sure why.

And once again, thankyou for the constant ideas. I'm not exploring this site as fully as I used to, so it's great to have some members who keep things like this updated.

Congraulations on reaching your 5000th post! I assume Neo is somewhere in the works? As for myself I've learnt all of Rondo Alla Turca by Mozart, I just can't play it quickly enough yet to warrant a video. I need a lot more practice, it's a very quick song. I think whilst I practice that...

Very nice! If I tried to record an hour and a half of me on the piano the result would be a disjointed mess!

There tends to be a culture of looking up to those with very high post counts around here. I'm not sure if those members who have 10,000+ posts are doing so because they do enjoy the extra publicity they receive or just because they enjoy using the site and it's features, and nor is it my...

I know! I remember playing a Yamaha grand piano in a store once. The sound it produced was absolutely amazing. I do love my upright that I own (despite the fact it's horribly out of tune, but there's no point getting it tuned whilst it's still summer here in Aus, the heat will just throw the...

Personally I don't believe that dreams mean anything, I still take the scientific theory that they're a means that the brain uses to sort and process information from the day. It's been shown that depriving animals of REM sleep does eventually have major impacts on their psyche, so whatever...

Guys are stupid, and particularly guys that haven't had female friends that they weren't interested in. It's a sad fact of life that guys will tend to show a lot more interest when they are interested in you and being knocked back is always a hard thing to accept. Some people just take it worse...

I'm so sorry to hear that, that's horrible, horrible news and I hope that you pull through from it. My sister has attempted to kill herself twice, and I found that the best thing you could do is not blame yourself for it. That being said, you really do need to talk to someone professional about...
