I voted for the French one. There was a debate not so long ago about changing it. After all, the French Anthem was created during the French Revolution. It speaks of war and blood and a lot of people find it too "violent" EDIT : WHAT???? Where are the songs ? Why is the video instrumental only??????

It's..erm...well....pink ? Very pink, I'd say. Also, the behaviors portrayed in the show are quite stereotypical if you see what I mean. Now, it is funny but only for the intended target audience. Not so sure about older people though.

Well; no, I don't think it would be a good idea for the reason pointed in the second choice in the poll.

Hello everypony. I was wondering if anypony here knows about a strategy game series called Total War. I personally have Empire Total War and Total War : Shogun 2 and I'm planning to get Rome 2 and Napoleon. For those of you who don't know what this game is, it is basically a strategy game divided into two parts. You have the first part, which is turn-based. In this part, you move your troops on the campaign map and you improve your territories, construct farms to feed your population, manage taxes to improve your economy, recruit new soldiers, etc. You also have access to the diplomacy screen where you can manage trade agreement and make treaties and stuff with other factions. The second part is actually the battle part where you lead your troops on the battlefield. It is real time strategy and quite realistic. I don't like Shogun 2 very much. Not because the game is bad or anything, it's just that I don't like the era it is set in and I think the diplomacy is seriously messed up (For those of you who have the game, I'm talking about realm divide). About the difficulty setting of the campaign map, easy is too easy (other factions are passive and only move troops around the map without actually attacking or doing anything offensive). Hard is too hard (other factions are like destroy, destroy, DESTROY). So, I'm playing on medium and I'm happy... There is a separate difficulty setting for the real-time battles and I play on very hard because I'm awesome http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EQWcB1vXXg

You know, the scientific community adopted the metric system as the international standard for a good reason. On a personal note, if I saw a modern scientific paper written in Imperial units, I would tear it apart and make the author eat it.

Well, the first thing is to be able to remember your dream. Next : To trigger a lucid dream, there are several methods you could use. I personally use the MILD (Mnemonic Induction of Lucid Dreams). First, you need to realise that you're dreaming. It comes in 3 steps. STEP 1 : REALITY CHECKS A reality check is a test you do which helps you to determine whether you're dreaming or not. You should ask yourself the following question several times throughout the day "Am I Dreaming" ?. Then, you need to perform a reality test. The key is that the result of the test will be different in real life and in the dream. It may sound stupid to do it in real life, but the more you do it in real life, the higher the probability that your dream character will perform that test and trigger the lucid dream. There are several reality tests to choose from. I personally count the number of fingers on my hands. 5 in real life, and impossible to count in a dream. More info here : http://lucid.wikia.com/wiki/Reality_check STEP 2 : LUCID AFFIRMATIONS Now, when you go to bed, you need to get your dream character to perform a reality check and realize that you're dreaming. The key to do this is to program your brain to realize that it's dreaming. Just keep repeating in your head "Tonight, I'm going to remember that I'm dreaming". Repeat it over and over and over until it's stuck in your head. The last thing you think about before you fall asleep should be your desire to realize that you're dreaming. Stay focused on this thought.. STEP 3 : VISUALIZE YOUR DREAM. Once you are deeply relaxed, try to recall a previous dream but this time, try to relive it as if you were lucid (Interact with your dream characters and seek out any dream signs. A dream sign is an unusual thing that makes you realize that you're dreaming. For example, a flying pig can be considered a dream sign) During this process, you might fall asleep. And that is perfectly fine. Later on that night, during your next REM stage, you have a much higher chance of becoming lucid. When you're lucid, you can re-create Equestria and the ponies and even interact with them. However, please bear in mind that the more changes you do to your dream, the less stable it is (You might find that it starts to fade away). It takes a lot of practice to learn how to stabilize a lucid dream. This method was devised by Pr. Stephen LaBerge from the University of Stanford and has been scientifically proven effective.

This guide was written by Pr Stephen Laberge so you can rest assured it is reliable and has been proven effective.

Yep, right there http://www.lucidity.com/NL11.DreamRecall.html Keeping a dream journal in only one step of the process. If you don't do what comes before that, then it's going to make it very hard, because dreams are forgotten very easily. Personally, I did not have to keep a dream journal to remember my dreams, but it can help a great deal though.

You dream every night. The only problem is that you do not remember them. There are techniques you can use to remember your dreams. I mean, there is no point in inducing a pony dream if you're just going to forget about it the next morning, right ?

Well, the most efficient way to dream about something specific is to trigger a lucid dream. You don't have to control it. What you can do is create the dream world (Equestria in your case) and then, just watch as a spectator and let the dream unfold by itself.

My BMI is fluctuates between 17.8 and 18.5. I guess it's normal, right ? A small change in weight creates a big change in BMI.

Well, the second one is pretty decent even though I prefer the first one.

Wikipedia is wrong, lol Centigrade does sound 20 % cooler

No, it's not. You will have to wait for a hypothetical future update. But, you can minimize its chances of crashing by using another browser. I've noticed that the crashing occurs more commonly on Chrome and almost never on IE or Opera.
