Yeah, I kinda figured it was a general exaggeration. Like when you say something like, "It took a thousand years to get through that line." Obviously, it did not take that long, but it was still a stupid long time.

I just assumed Myrkr meant that she's a hella fast reader, cause 2000 pages in one day is a bit on the 'thousand years' side. Course, I could be wrong and she's super-duper like that.

That's about where I was and I doubt I could do the two textbooks thing.

Edit: Actually, I was the level above that.

Assuming you can sustain that reading for an entire 24 hours, both textbooks are just at 1000 pages, and you read at the upper boundary of 650 words/minute, that is 468 words/page. For a textbook, this seems to be quite a small amount.

And this is assuming you can read at 650 words/minute for 24 hours, which I am sure you can't.

Oh! Well, if a quiz on the Internet says it, it must be true.

See, I've read that Address several times now. I could've run through it pretty quickly. If it had been something different, I couldn't have.

Not to mention the wording in that isn't too difficult, nor the metaphors and allusions.

Lusternia is not mentally stimulating. I mean, it may have been, at one point, but now... it's more like reading a comic book filled with BAM! and SPLAT! as opposed to a textbook.

(Man, even if you -could- read 2000 pages in a day, would anyone honestly want to spend their day doing that?)

I think I got pretty close once...

Yes. I happen to be a bookworm. I have lots of textbooks and regular books on a variety of topics, I usually read while on the train, before bed, while on the phone, while eating, and even when on Lusternia.

Oh wow! Look at me!

You read between 850 - 900 words per minute. Virtual Speed Reader. (The average rate is between 200 - 250 words per minute.) It is assumed that you did not skim the words nor fail to understand the meaning of what was read.

Yeah, because that website proves much.

Wow, when did this turn into "Myrkr knows nothing, come try to point it out!" instead of "LoR"?

Since you started saying stupid things...
So since your first post.

You know it's uncool to gang up on folks. Especially over something as silly as how much/fast a person can or can't read.

Back to the purpose of the thread. Here's my rant:

I need to do laundry tonight, but it means having to take a 20 minute walk down one of the busiest thoroughfares in the city carrying my dirty clothes to get to the laundromat, then another 20 min walk back with my clean clothes. Because the bus system in Little Rock is so sucktastic.

Ignore Ardmore, he's just being bitchy like usual.

You have more serious things to consider however, Myrkr. I hope you can get your situation either resolved, or find a solution that works.

My lab is vague about where these Azimuth and Quadrant bearings begin.

If both N and S are 0 degrees, but once you pass the other it goes past the 180 degree mark, you can be at least nice and tell me which it starts at.

Nah, thats the great thing about laundry. It can always wait another week.

You wouldn't say that if you saw the mix-matched collection of my remaining clean clothes. I think I've put it off as long as I can already.

Wait, you still have clean stuff?!? Now you can definitely wait. Just mix the clean stuff in with the stuff that clean enough to still be the color its supposed to be, and you'll be fine.

Boys.

Lol, I failed a test on monday too, so what. It's just a test and there is more stuff.
Lol, my parents are going to seperate and I am going to have to see where I live in the last 6 months of school, so what.

Gee guys, I wish problems like that where the worst to have in this good wide world, but they aren't. Just need to man up, chill, throw up some good music and tell yourself it's eventually going to be better. *g*

hm, what I am trying to say: You all should relax a bit more.
