Santa buried in 12 century abbey

beelzebob13 — Tue, 15 Dec 2009 10:30:38 +0800

Experts claim that the philanthropist St Nicholas of Myra is entombed at the 12th century abbey after his body was moved there 800 years ago.

The saint, revered for his extraordinary generosity, lived during the 4th century and was Bishop of Lycia in what is now Turkey.

Due to his habit for leaving anonymous gifts for the poor, he was declared a saint soon after his death in 346, and inspired the legend of Father Christmas.

"St Nicholas Church is still standing and there is a slab on the ground which marks St Nicholas's grave," said Mr Lynch.

Orbituary: A death in the Interwebs

beelzebob13 — Sat, 06 Jun 2009 19:23:35 +0800

QUOTE

Dear Cultist, I have decided that within the next few weeks Z-Cult FM will be slowly closed down and the server put offline resulting in the death of Z-Cult FM as we know it. Z-Cult FM was born in 2004 and over the last 5 years has seen many high and low times. I would like to thank everyone who was involved over the last 5 years in making Z-Cult FM what it became. I would personally like to thank all the staff past and present, all torrenters and supporters of the site. I did start listing everyone by name but the list was too big and was scared I would miss someone off. Thanks to everyone who posted and helped out in any way possible. I would also like to unthank all the people who during the 5 years have caused trouble for the site such as no-ip, Marvel, DC Comics, etc etc list goes on..... least you made Z-Cult FM into a soap opera with many dramas along the way. The future for Z-Cult FM is currently a sad quiet death and a think about it's future. If it does return it will be just as a message board for the members who still like to use it but we will see what future holds. Thanks, Serj R.I.P. Z-Cult FM 2004 - 2009

Too many requests from your host.

beelzebob13 — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 17:26:48 +0800

why am/was i getting this message a few times today?

"Too many requests from your host. Please wait 10 minutes before trying again. "

i don't think i am doing "too many requests" as i am just browsing the forum/posting quite "normally".
i wonder if this problem is related to Firefox add-on called "WebMynd"? (recently installed, which is supposed to keep track of web pages as i browse)

in any case, the 10-minute "sit out" could be a lot helpful if the time/date is included with the message generated.

thanks for looking into it.

test your mind

ideal or prefered age of woman for man

beelzebob13 — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 17:29:09 +0800

there is a survey or so i heard, no sauce, which say that men prefer (or should prefer) gf/women that follow this equation:

woman's age = (man's age / 2) + 7

say, a man of 20 would prefer (20/2)+7 = 17 yo girl.

or 13 yo boy => (13/2)+7 = 13 (about)

or 25 yo man = 19 yo woman
or 30 yo man = 22 yo woman

some ppl think if a man have a relationship with a woman of age LESS than this formula it is "creepy".

Question: look at your own "situation", was that survey "true"? yes or no?

EDIT: 19 or whatever is just the minimum, it would be 19 and greater, etc

MSI mobo chipset heatsink/fan konk

beelzebob13 — Wed, 28 Feb 2007 10:03:23 +0800

this mobo K8N Neo4-F (PCB 3.0)
[http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_detail.php?UID=727 ]
was bought from lowyat in june 07, and the chipset heatsink/fan is "not moving".

is it still under warranty (after 8 months)?

if not where and how much will a replacement cost?

thanks.

edit: if a non-msi replacement can do, is there a more "boleh tahan" type? coz this one was not spinning well after a couple of months (soft-loud buzzing, and didn't look all that level)
