Dont bump this thread

futher rulemaking is now suspended until a complete audit of all existing rules has been accomplished by the audit committee which has yet to be established. If you would like to self-select yourself as a member of the audit committee establishment team please take the following three steps

Honest officer I was just trying to..... This must be written on a leaf not to exceed 1 square mm. Parital or torn leaves not accepted.

1. provide a video of yourself reciting the entire text of the Magna Carta in pig-latin while standing on your head in a bucket of vodka. Not to exceed 3 minutes in length.
2. Complete the following sentence:
3. Place these items in a size B envelope and place them under the rock nearest to your great grandfathers grave that is at least 4 meters in total dimension and not less than three tons in weight.

If you would like to self-select yourself for the audit rules committee which must do its work before the audit committee establishment team then you must make a post here in this thread within 90 days stating no less than 23 principles by which you live your life and translate these principles into rules that the committee may follow.

If you would like to nominate yourself to the audit committee itself, it is way too early for that as rules for committee memebership have not been established.

If you would like to attend a meeting to discuss your feelings about having a conference about discussing your feelings about how you feel about having an audit of this thread, we sympathize with you.

That is all for now, your local *NINJA* will be contacting you with further instructions.

It is expected that this thread will be opened for new rule making along a timeline of about 15 years depending.....

rules were made to be broken

Chap. 13, Sect. 6, Rule 1: Rules were not made to be broken, but it has been considered, upon review, that nobody cares about this rule, so this rule may be broken regardless of any Chap. 14, Sect. 2 or Chap. 1, Sect. 8 reference.

Chap. 19, Sect. 12, Disclaimer of LOLCAT WARRANTY THIS DOES NOT IMPLY THAT THE <INSERT NAME OF ITEM> WILL NOT UNEXPECTEDLY EXPLODE, CATCH FIRE, OR TRANSPORT ANY GIVEN OBJECT BACK TO 1984 (BUT NOT TO THE DYSTOPIAN WORLD IN GEORGE ORWELL'S NINETEEN-EIGHTY-FOUR WHICH BY THE WAY IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THEN YOU REALLY SHOULD ESPECIALLY THE NEWSPEAK SECTION BECAUSE IT'S MUCH BETTER THAN READING THIS... NOBODY READS THIS STUFF ANYWAY DO THEY? ANYBODY THERE?), OR MYSTERIOUSLY TRANS-MOG-RIFY INTO A CAT WITH OR WITHOUT A CAPTION WEIGHING APPROXIMATELY 110 GRAMS (THE INTERNATIONAL STANDARD FOR LOLCATS, SEE CHAP 12., SECT 8., "LOLCAT STANDARDS")

The consumption of Hot Dogs is prohibited !!

Prime Directive: Respect Roosters. [feeding them is especially nice]

ubunterooster said: [feeding them is especially nice]

To the rottweilers?

2'nd Directive: eat bugs. (or rottweilers)

3rd directive, always carry a toothpick, bugs between teeth is not a good look

4th directive; do not pick your nose with the afore mentioned toothpick, whilst posting on the threads!

4th directive, section (a) always remove septum ring, septum spike, pincer, nostril screw etc before picking your nose

There is no rule six!

The 1st rule about rule 6 is, you don't talk about rule 6

Just make up the rules as you go along, that's my life story.:P

rule# 7: do not use 7

Rule 1 Endo always has trophy

Rule 2 if someone takes trophy see rule 1

Rule #66: eat anything but roosters. num num num num!

Rule number 67: Rule numbers and post numbers must NOT correlate.

you can only use the letters in the posters login name above you once, if there is two of the same letter, you can only use that letter once.

Pursuant to the findings of the aforementioned audit committee, on 15 April 2010 the following revisions to the charter for this thread were proposed for final action:

I. Puns regarding certain Baltic nations. A. All puns, bad or good, are permitted regarding Estonia. (N.B., it is still the case that only good puns regarding Latvia are permitted.) B. No puns at all regarding Lithuania are permitted. Invasion by Prussians and Russians is, unfortunately, almost inevitable and so remains acceptable, regretfully.

II. Rude photos of cats have been determined to violate the sensibilities of the Forum Mods; thus, citing examples is no longer allowed.

III. Pierre and Natasha get married and live happily ever after.

IV. All members of the audit committee, except for the Chairman, are required to live by these principles. A. Oprah is not permitted to self-select for the audit committee until she loses 40 pounds. 1. Eating Cheez Doodles isn't going to help you any. B. There is no subsection B.

V. The rule entitled, "Chap. 19, Sect. 12, Disclaimer of LOLCAT WARRANTY", has been modified to conform to the new EPA standards promulgated pursuant to the requirements of the Affordable Health Care for America Act, which was recently signed into law, and which modified Chap. 12, Sect. 8, "LOLCAT STANDARDS." Under these new rules, transmogrified LOLCATS (with or without caption) may not exceed 75 grams. A. N.B., it is anticipated that this will greatly reduce the hazard of spontaneous combustion of the LOLCATS, but it does not completely eliminate the possibility of explosion. B. Transportation of LOLCATS now requires a properly placarded vehicle.

VI. The second rule about Rule 6 is, DO NOT TALK ABOUT RULE 6!!!

VII. Kibo's original signature must be affixed to all subsequent posts by members of the audit committee, except for the Chairman. A. (intentionally left blank) B. The signature must be included in the original text format within the post. Linking to Kibo's original signature is not sufficient and will result in immediate removal from the audit committee, except for the Chairman. 1 - 61. (Reserved for future use.) 62. Keep it simple, st00pid.

VIII. All previous rules are null and void.

BE IT HEREBY KNOWN that, the above rules having been available for public comment for ten (10) days, and the committee having received seven (7) comments, none of which addressed the substance of the rules, but only expressed the commenters' personal opinions, and so are unopposed; THEREFORE, these rules have been adopted by the audit committee by a unanimous vote, and are effective immediately.

every 5th person to post in this thread must jump off a bridge

The previous rule has been determined by the Audit Committee to have included a typographical error. It has been corrected to read:

Every *Sith* person must jump off a bridge.

The above amendment is hereby amended because the sith poster is also capable of performing jedi levitation and is therefore not afraid of bridges or the jumping there of

Therefore, the Audit Committee has adopted the following rule regarding Sith posters:

All Siths must renounce the use of light sabers, blasters, Death Stars, and political chicanery in their quest for power; and further, must abandon said quest for power. Failure to do so will result in fines of up to $100,000 and/or imprisonment of up to 100 years and/or being banned forever from future sequels.

The Audit Committee hereby adopts Secret Rule No. *** (actual rule number deleted in publication per Section V.23 of Part 17 of the Publication Security Rules, as amended, published on January , 20), after publishing said proposed rule at https://www.secret.*****************.org/Rules/Proposed/pwnage_*****.shtml for * days, as prescribed by Section X.14 of Part 96 of the International Trophy Rules.

The conditions set forth in Secret Rule No. ***** having been satisfied at 01:00:00 UTC on 30 April 2010, the Chairman hereby publishes notice to all past, present and future participants on Ubuntu Forums that the Audit Committee has established a perpetual right to the trophy from "The last place trophy game" created by CJ Master on 17 December 2008. Said trophy shall remain in the personal possession of the Chairman of the Audit Committee, and shall actually be regarded to be in his possession, despite any claims to the contrary on any thread in Ubuntu Forums or any other website or publication.

Also, you'd need over 20 square metres of superlight solar sail to propel anything that heavy with non-negligible acceleration, and that's if you'd started out in space to begin with.

compugeek32 said: NO paradoxes allowed!

Well, well... I suppose the question "Does this count as a paradox?" comes to mind, but if this rule goes through then your rule doesn't matter because all rules are nullified. But, since this post is included in the list it nullifies itself, so then your post isn't nullified. But if this post is nullified then all posts (including this one) count again, so then it once again nullifies all posts (including itself)...

No nullification, that's for a whole other site

• When you've used most of the bottle, buy a new bottle of the same brand and same size.
• Step 2

Next, begin using the new bottle. That's right. Open it and use the new bottle until you've used enough to make space for the old bottle's remnants.

[[IMG]http://i.ehow.com/images/a05/3g/7a/really-empty-catsup-bottle-1.3-120X120.jpg[/IMG]]("http://i.ehow.com/images/a05/3g/7a/really-empty-catsup-bottle-1.3-800X800.jpg")

• Step 3

Carefully, turn the old bottle upside down and place it on top of the almost new bottle. Make sure the "connection" is complete and the bottles are aligned or catsup may drip from the old bottle and down the outside of the new bottle.

[[IMG]http://i.ehow.com/images/a05/3g/7a/really-empty-catsup-bottle-1.4-120X120.jpg[/IMG]]("http://i.ehow.com/images/a05/3g/7a/really-empty-catsup-bottle-1.4-800X800.jpg")

• Step 4

Just walk away and let gravity do its thing! Depending upon how much catsup is in the old bottle and how thick it is, it could be minutes or it could be a few hours.

[[IMG]http://i.ehow.com/images/a05/3g/7a/really-empty-catsup-bottle-1.5-120X120.jpg[/IMG]]("http://i.ehow.com/images/a05/3g/7a/really-empty-catsup-bottle-1.5-800X800.jpg")

• Step 5

When all the catsup has drained out of the old bottle, just cap up the new one and it's ready to go. Be sure to recycle that empty bottle! http://www.ehow.com/how_5357802_really-empty-catsup-bottle.html

Also, the party of the first part must fight for the rights of the party of the second part.

But only when the Animal Farm Pigs are in Congressional session for making at least more than 3 and 7/14 of an addendum to the tax code to incorporate it into the Geneva Convention and the Rules of Engagement. See page 8,267, article 666 , subsection 2a, paragraph 3.141593 of the Infernal Revenue Service tax code.

(Pi, of course, being an irrational number, this makes perfect sense.)

Pie is better than Pi.

Try substituting cake for pie in the equation and see what happens. Even the Infernal Revenue Service will be confusticated by your results.

I'm convinced mathematicians call the standard number line the 'real number system,' just to reassure themselves.

The relevant root word of 'irrational numbers' is 'ratio', not 'rational,' so an irrational number is one that can't be expressed as a ratio of two whole numbers.

Anyways, pi is a PITA. 3.14 is good enough for 99% of carpentry, but your computer can figure it to thousands of decimal places if you ask it to politely.

...And nothing can compete with a competent key lime pie. Nothing at all.

2. X may not be greater than 173 if it is between 10:00 PM and 3:35 AM local time.
3. BUT if both of those conditions apply, x may not be less than -10 and not greater than 50.
4. If you are watching TV at the moment, x may not be 86, 87, or 173.
5. x may not be exactly 255 at any time. It's a bug, don't ask.
6. If x ends in two consecutive nines, the first digit MUST be greater than 4, but under this rule, x may not have more than 7 digits.
7. If you have been interrupted within the last two minutes, x must be 86. If this conflicts with rule 4, x must between 89 and 103.
8. If you are sick, you are encouraged to set x to 10, but x cannot be less than -99, unless x is -1000.
9. x must be a rational number.
10. If your computer crashed in the last 24 hours, x must be between 71 and 100, but cannot be an integer.
