  1. I can confirm that being strong for lifting or carrying does not equate to running stamina.
  2. it's not as much ran out of ideas as ran out of time or money. Creating new background characters requires time from artists, and that time is also needed for coming up with looks for the Mane Characters in new costumes, new plot-relevant characters, monsters and animals. It's also possible that the team responsible for character design also work on background object design, like carts, food, trees, furniture and other scene props. All of that doing would populate a list of usable assets which are then plopped into the scene for animation. In scenes were there are a large number of background characters, it can become very taxing resource-wise to fill the entire crowd with unique characters, all animated. (Granted the most common kind of animation in these situations is just a small head-bob or blinking.) Repeating characters happens a lot in Season 1 and 2 when their asset list was smaller, and the show's budget was less.
  3. I don't work in an office though I wish I did.
  4. A steel plate was ejected from a subterranian nuclear test in the American Operation Plumbob. It is estimated this steel plate had a velocity of at least 230 000km/h. If it survived its impact with Earth's atmosphere, it would've achived solar escape velocity, and would become the fastest and most distant object ever sent from Earth, having long since exceeded the Voyager probes some time in the 1980s. The Fact Sphere is the most handsome sphere.
  5. The Sun is the most spherical object ever observed. Each of the Apollo moon rockets used five Rocketdyne F1 engines on their first stage. Each one remains today the largest and most powerful liquid rocket engines ever. When five were tested together for the first time in 1966, the United States national energy output increased by 5% for the two minutes that they were firing. The energy density of a human hand is comparable to 1 liter of gasoline. 1 kilogram of water = 1 liter of water (at room temperature and sea-level pressure) Jupiter and Saturn have more than 60 known moons each. Pluto is not a planet, but a dwarf planet. It is estimated that there are probably 30 or more similarly sized dwarf-planets beyond the orbit of Neptune, but this has not been confirmed because they're so small and dim, and thus hard to find. The worst aircraft accident ever was the Tenerife Airport Disaster in the Canary Islands in 1977. Nearly 600 people died because two fully loaded jumbo-jets collided on the runway. The cause of the accident was poor weather, human error and communication problems. It is estimated that Norman Borlaug, an American biologist, has saved over a billion lives through his research in creating more robust varieties of wheat and grain that are resistant to disease, making it easier and cheaper to feed populations. The same person (John Stapp) who invented the ejector seat also invented the crash-test dummy and the car safety belt. His research led him to discover more pilots were being killed in automobile accidents than faulty aircraft design. The RMS Titanic had three propellers, but only two were capable of reversing because they were driven by expansion pistons. The middle propeller was driven by a one-directional turbine. 1999 movie Titanic accurately depicts this. The largest known black hole, Holmberg 15A, is estimated to be over one light-month in radius. It's several thousand times the width of the entire solar system, and weighs as much as half of the Milky Way galaxy.
  6. I was thinking Tirek wouldn't stand a chance against the Death Star, Magog or Unicron, but then you said villains of My Little Pony.
  7. They is watching yous comrades.
  8. Black Holes. The most terrifying thing in mathematics.
  9. This post has been redacted by the author.

  10. why come no love for Ponytail I keep thinking she keeps her mane clean and brushed in a way too down to earth for a sophisticated character to even tolerate the description. I could imagine her mane styling consists of washing with some rainwater, shampooing with a single raw egg, and then rinsing with the rainwater again, followed by some simple brushing.
  11. It's a great way to get yourself killed senselessly. Will I all the way to space today?
  12. I either realize that the anger is self-motivated because of something silly like losing face, or have it motivate me work harder towards fighting an injustice.
  13. There once was a Space Captain named Jim the Georged. One day Jim went sailing with his hardy crew. He planned to terrorize the New York, and become the greatest pirate in the colon. It was a saturday when he and his crew flew the Read The Insutrctions off the coast of Mainland China. Then the Spanish guitar he stole was sunk by a Cutie Mark Crusader helicoter, and Jim and his crew were claimed by the Internal Revenue Service. The End.
  14. In one of the IDM comics the mane cast goes on a high seas voyage on a sailing ship which looks somewhere between 15th and 18th century in terms of style, though I don't recall it having any cannons.
  15. I've seen Germany, I've seen France, I've seen Spongebob's Underpants Switzerland, United States and Canada. Being to the Alps just made me want to explore more of how much I don't know about the Rockies in Canada. Why travel to Europe when there's still wonders in my own back yard?
