The Longest Thread Ever!

I light 40 lamps on days that don't end in Y, so how many do I light all week?

I can think of two possible answers. The obvious one where the answer is you don't light any because there are no days that don't end in Y. Or the not so obvious where it's a trick question not referring to the NAMES of the days but just the days themselves, in which case you would light 280 lamps(7*40=280) all week. If I had to put my money on one of these though I'd probably say the first one just based on my past experience with similar riddles.

You'd be correct in assuming the former , though I did have to light allot of freaking candles when I was a server......

Here are some more song lyrics. This is a song from Pink Floyd, from the longest selling album according to the Guinness Book of World Records.

Money, get away.
Get a good job with good pay and youre okay.
Money, its a gas.
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash.
New car, caviar, four star daydream,
Think Ill buy me a football team.

Money, get back.
Im all right jack keep your hands off of my stack.
Money, its a hit.
Dont give me that do goody good ********.
Im in the high-fidelity first class traveling set
And I think I need a lear jet.

Money, its a crime.
Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie.
Money, so they say
Is the root of all evil today.
But if you ask for a raise its no surprise that theyre
Giving none away.

Huhuh! I was in the right!
Yes, absolutely in the right!
I certainly was in the right!
You was definitely in the right. that geezer was cruising for a
Bruising!
Yeah!
Why does anyone do anything?
I don't know, I was really drunk at the time!
I was just telling him, he couldn't get into number 2. he was asking
Why he wasn't coming up on freely, after I was yelling and
Screaming and telling him why he wasn't coming up on freely.
It came as a heavy blow, but we sorted the matter out

Speaking of Pink Floyd, the local Hard Rock casino has that pseudo socialist flag with the two hammers from the Wall hanging up in it. I kind of want to steal it but ironically it's hanging up next to security.

Pink Floyd Lyrics

Hey you, out there in the cold
Getting lonely, getting old
Can you feel me?
Hey you, standing in the aisles
With itchy feet and fading smiles
Can you feel me?
Hey you, don't help them to bury the light
Don't give in without a fight.

Hey you, out there on your own
Sitting naked by the phone
Would you touch me?
Hey you, with you ear against the wall
Waiting for someone to call out
Would you touch me?
Hey you, would you help me to carry the stone?
Open your heart, I'm coming home.

But it was only fantasy.
The wall was too high,
As you can see.
No matter how he tried,
He could not break free.
And the worms ate into his brain.

Hey you, standing in the road
Always doing what you're told,
Can you help me?
Hey you, out there beyond the wall,
Breaking bottles in the hall,
Can you help me?
Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all
Together we stand, divided we fall.

I used to be a waiter, and at a few of the restaurants I worked at we had to light the candles on the table whenever the sunset, which was about 40 a day.

That double bladed lightsaber doesn't seem very gray sided of you, aren't they preferred by those of the dark side?

15 days until Saturnalia (Saturnalia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

ah, okay

Well I think you'll notice that one side is green, which is traditional of jedi, while the other is red(sith obviously). Though in all actuality my lightsaber would be purple (combining blue(jedi gaurdian) and red(sith)). I'm not much on double edged lightsabers(though if I were to have one the green end would be blue instead of, well, green), I only use that particular avatar because it's the only "gray jedi" avatar I could find that didn't portray a specific star wars character(which I wanted to avoid). And double-edged lightsabers in and of themselves aren't used only by followers of the dark side. If you ever play the first knights of the old republic game you find that Bastilla, a jedi, uses a double-edged lightsaber herself. I wouldn't be surprised if they were more common among sith considereing the fact that they're more dangerous to use and built for more aggressive combat but they are used on both sides. Even so my preference would be for a short-bladed purple lightsaber. I have no desire to chop off my ankles while I'm trying to chop off my opponents head

I was hoping you'd forget about her yellow saber, though it's suspicious a consular would have a double bladed one, and she did go over to the dark side.

Why would you hope I'd forget? Anyway, yeah she turned. But the point is she used the lightsaber as a jedi as well. And As I said a double-bladed lightsaber is made for more aggressive combat so it's only natural that one with a more aggressive and/or tempermental personality, and it's quite clear that Bastilla had such a personality. The point of the avatar, I feel, is to show the contrast of the two sides, to show that in the end they really are just two sides of the same coin(or two ends of the same double-edged lightsaber). Though if I had the talent to make my own avatar I would probably have it depict a purple lightsaber with maybe a brief quote to help the image summarize how the purple lightsaber really is, at least for me, THE lightsaber for gray jedi.
