yeah, I do beleive it that way... my friend told me a funny thing.. he said that chickens do came first since they are the ones who lays the egg and of course sat on it for heat and to become a chick... a silly yet convincing theory...
but what you said may be the most correct form XD

but others tend to say that where does chickens came from, the egg isn' it? then the debate starts.... its fun but its also a practice to learn about reasoning XD

Or you could examine the evolutionary tree and see when creatures started to develop in eggs (fish/early crustaceans), and then trace it to the development of birds from reptiles. Eggs were there before birds for a very long time, and the birds slowly evolved through it. Egg-laying didn't start with birds.

It's a funner question when you can try to reason it out without scientific knowledge.

The counter-question is "what KIND of egg?" ....

if your enemy in the debate reasons w/out scientific knowledge I think he/she can only say "chickens lay eggs so it comes first or when an egg hatches it becomes a chick that will eventually grow up to become a chicken"
then you can beat him/her with your knowledge XD

but it is fun

yes, I agree seeing there are many kinds of eggs in the world

Well If you want to go way back this is how it goes.


-First Earth gets created from the sun ( wiki big bang theory for more info . I wont go in details)

- Then Earth is full of gases and liquid lavaish seas.

- Then Micro molec and anaerobic creatures are created within these Liquid seas

- Eventually as the enviroment changes, We start having aerobic creatures ( in molec forms)

- From then, on we start having sea creatures. Some of which can lay eggs.

- Land areas are created and some of the sea creatures adapt to land habitats.

- Then we start having animals/birds and other creatures.

- Many other things happens. ( ice age, Volcanic eruptions , ... )

- We have monkeys.

- we evolve from monkeys.


Well i skipped alot of details. But preaty much thats how science describes it.

Question :
What method is used to count the "View Number" of a thread?

[teachopvutru]

What is the attachment to this thread there for?

I clicked on it and there's a link to this gif. Just curious, though...

I have no idea....

Well, perhaps if you read this post

So that you can see the difference I am going to attach a very small picture to this post. This is something that only moderators can do and we don't do it often. See the difference?

Silly me ^^

I'm transferring Foreign songs into my phone, but as my Helio cannot read foreign text like the Chinese song is labeled at. How do I exactly change the information within the mp3 data? I know what it translate to (well... it's English to being with but it also comes in the Chinese Characters too).

I simply tried it by using the advance options by doing the right click on the mp3 file but i'm not sure if it's working or i'm editing the wrong one or two.

* I don't exactly like trying to find blank songs on my phone ^^

If you're using Windows, right-click the song, go to "Properties", then go to the "Details" tab. Or you can do it in iTunes, with right-click, then "Get Info".

That data contained within the MP3 is called an "ID3 tag." As tripperazn mentioned, iTunes and virtually all other media players are able to access and edit the ID3 information. There are programs dedicated to mass ID3 retagging, as well. I've never used one, but if you run a search for ID3 (or ID3 tag, ID3 retagging, ID3 program) you should be able to find quite a few. If you have a lot of songs to retag, a dedicated tagging program might be useful.

I only am doing like 3 or so ^^.

Thanks for the help, Ledgem, Tripperazn

is that true we can ask some question here? then,

1.we know there's anime that contain hentai scene and a full voiced eroge. i wonder, are the female seiyuu of those didnt embarassed when they voicing the char in the H scenes ?

2.i wonder who is the founder of programming language?

3.my friend told me this" there is only about 20%-30% of japanese girls is a virgin, judging from some anime and eroge that has story where the male and female char doing that 'thing' although they dont married. is that true? and are japanese goverment allowing porn too?

although that are not a silly question, please answer them, i really wanted the answer

It depends on how you define computers and programming languages. If you consider Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine to be a computer, then you could say that Ada Lovelace wrote the first programming language when she included a method for calculating Bernouli numbers with the Engine.

If you're referring to programming languages created specifically for electronic computers, you'd want to look at FORTRAN, LISP and COBOL instead, invented by John Backus, John McCarthy and the Short Range Committee respectively. However, my sources come from Wikipedia (where else?), so I can't vouch for their veracity.

From what I gather, most seiyuus work for talent agencies. If a seiyuu is too embarrassed to voice the scene, the job would probably go to another seiyuu in the stable. In other words, jobs are very hard to come by while seiyuus are dime-a-dozen. If a seiyuu had to choose between personal embarrassment and putting food on her table, I won't be surprised if she chooses food.

According to Hollywood movies and TV series, the US is a huge cesspool of decadence and violence that I wouldn't want to touch with a ten-foot pole.

Anime =/= Real life

That said, it probably won't be a stretch to say that Japanese teenagers are experimenting with sex at a very young age, considering how their age of legal consent can be as low as 13 in some places. Then again, the same trend can probably be said for teenagers in many parts of the world, not just Japan. I doubt there is a definitive study that provides exact numbers.

Why the obsession with "virginity" in any case? It's a misogynist concept that should have been consigned to the dustbin of social history a long time ago, in my opinion. One half of a population is dying to get laid while expecting the other half to keep itself "pure" and "fit for respectable marriage". There is something very wrong with that equation.

I'll add that yes, some of them are not too proud of voicing such characters. It's the same with the gents and their BL characters. When they're new to the scene, they take any job that comes along. Once they've left their impressions, they choose their jobs. If I'm not mistaken, Hiro Yuki is no longer tied to any agency, while Ishida Akira and Sakurai Takahiro have stated that they will not be taking on new BL roles.

[SeijiSensei]

If you've not watched the lovely little series REC, I suggest you take a look at that. In one episode, the heroine is asked to voice an eroge. Since she's new to the seiyuu business she feels she should take the job, but she's quite embarrassed by the part she has to play.

Some mainstream seiyuu are known to voice hentai under pseudonyms.

[Supah Em]

i could name one of them but it could turn out to be a disaster.



on another note i havent heard of any foreign(non-japanese) anime seiyuu voice on an eroge.

Does anyone here know any other members in real life?

Hm, is it just me or is Veoh's search function currently busted for Firefox? It works fine in IE.

No, it's fine in my Firefox.
