Pimp My SP!

OK, so I've just come back from the dentist, I'm hungry, but can't eat because half of my face is still not working. While I was waiting for my face to be useable again, I noticed two things : I had a spare AOA case badge, and my SP was looking a little forlorn.

The obvious next move was to combine the two! It was a tough job, but after many seconds of removing backing and sticking in place I have completed this "mod"

As a result of this I now have an EXTRA LIFE in all my games! No joke!

We would need instructions and a series of explanatory photos and Favu would have to be willing to support the article should some become confused and/or stuck when trying to assemble.

Other than that, putting it up front page would be totally self promoting and a perfect fit for our front page as such.

The real problem as I see it will be in finding a way to get the inexperienced to belive in themselves enough to attempt this while at home alone, perhaps miles from emergency aid!

Favu's got to be willing to be THERE for them if things go wrong!

But what do others think? Would this be something we would do better trying to handel as a team?

Gee, I dunno guys, this mod is VEERRRYY complicated and difficult, and there is a high risk of something terrible happening, for example, you could end up with the sticker not quite straight, I would hate to be responisble if someone ended up killing themselves or getting hurt because of that.

I think that I would need to train a team of at least 5 people to be on call 24/7 incase anyone was attempting this and needed emergency help

No, really!

I could be there to help seeming I'm in Aust the time differential would be good for the 24/7 help. But training will be a must when dealing with sticky things. You will also have to PM the team your home phone number in case things sower.

It's good to know your here to take the weight, not everyone is willing to accept this type of lability in order to help further our cause!

Or even better; a half-life (does anyone actually know that Half-life is the time it takes for half the atoms in a sample to decay (decay in the form of radiation)).

Back on topic, how about i do a pimp my DS article when i get back from holiday (don't go until tomorrow)?

Heh, learnt that last year =D

And no, Favu. A cat only has 1 life. Like everyone else. Stupid myths about a cat having 9 lives. >.>;

I tried it with my cat. I stabbed it, hoping it would have 8 lives left. I don't remember what happened after that. All I do remember is that my mum didn't get me another cat. =(

The cat is actually in a dead/alive state and observing the cat could affect which state it is in.

I learnt that in year 10. Doesn't just apply to radiation though.

For example: Half Life is proportional to 1/P.
α∞1/P


P= Electronc Momentum which is defined by √(2mEk)

You use this version of half life in Quantum Phenomena.
