Jul 22, 2014 at 12:45 AM - Malcolm Reynolds: Just checked snopes, and they didn't have anything but forum posts on it.
Jul 22, 2014 at 12:45 AM - Malcolm Reynolds: Straight dope did have something, though.

Jul 22, 2014 at 12:46 AM - Smasher: I'll read that...later
Jul 22, 2014 at 12:47 AM - Malcolm Reynolds: "later"
Jul 22, 2014 at 12:47 AM - yourbone: I remember learning about Greenland and Iceland some time ago in school. Greenland is full of ice and Iceland is full of grass, or not as much ice at least. From what I remember, when the lands were founded the names were placed improperly to confuse an enemy in a war or something I think
Jul 22, 2014 at 12:47 AM - Smasher: I will
Jul 22, 2014 at 12:47 AM - Smasher: both names lose their sense in my language, so...
Jul 22, 2014 at 12:47 AM - MrHippocrit: heard something like that too, yourbone.
Jul 22, 2014 at 12:47 AM - Smasher: and yep ^
Jul 22, 2014 at 12:48 AM - Malcolm Reynolds: That's what we're talking about.
Jul 22, 2014 at 12:48 AM - Malcolm Reynolds: We're discussing the validity of the story.
Jul 22, 2014 at 12:48 AM - Malcolm Reynolds: Or more, the investigation of the validity.
Jul 22, 2014 at 12:49 AM - Malcolm Reynolds: Also, Hippo. Look in the Skype chat or on Facebook. I got a med school interview :3
Jul 22, 2014 at 12:49 AM - MrHippocrit: Not specifically for you did not mention that exact story.
Jul 22, 2014 at 12:49 AM - Malcolm Reynolds: It was implied.
Jul 22, 2014 at 12:49 AM - MrHippocrit: I've heard of the story before, but could not regocnize it in your implication.
Jul 22, 2014 at 12:49 AM - Smasher: that word
Jul 22, 2014 at 12:54 AM - Sparrow Lancaster: Okay, now he's calling me a bitch. :/ And considering I've been roofied before, I'm taking quite a bit more offense, now.
Jul 22, 2014 at 12:55 AM - Jayson583: there's nothing about med school on skype
Jul 22, 2014 at 12:56 AM - Malcolm Reynolds: Oh, that was the anti-jay chat. That's kind of awkward.
Jul 22, 2014 at 12:56 AM - Sparrow Lancaster:
Jul 22, 2014 at 12:57 AM - Sparrow Lancaster: He's harassed me over typing like I'm literate, he keeps calling me a slut, he's made rape jokes towards me.
Jul 22, 2014 at 12:57 AM - Malcolm Reynolds: I would probably recommend private messaging that to a mod, not posting it in chat, but I'll see what I can do.
Jul 22, 2014 at 12:58 AM - Malcolm Reynolds: Also, is that even English?
Jul 22, 2014 at 12:58 AM - Sparrow Lancaster: It never shows me which mods are on, and I don't know which ones to even contact.
Jul 22, 2014 at 12:58 AM - Malcolm Reynolds: We all talk to each other, so sending it to any of us is fine.
Jul 22, 2014 at 12:58 AM - fantasticx.1991: I second this
Jul 22, 2014 at 12:59 AM - Sparrow Lancaster: Then it won't happen again.
Jul 22, 2014 at 12:59 AM - fantasticx.1991: dat guy is annoying.
Jul 22, 2014 at 12:59 AM - Sparrow Lancaster: Thank you, Malcolm.
Jul 22, 2014 at 12:59 AM - Malcolm Reynolds: No no, I'm not saying that you broke a rule or anything. I just meant that it might be a good idea.
Jul 22, 2014 at 12:59 AM - Sparrow Lancaster: I know. I'm saying I understand that, and I will abide by it because it is a good idea.
Jul 22, 2014 at 1:00 AM - Sparrow Lancaster: I've owned chatrooms before. We prefer to keep our business private, but it's a little frustrating when things won't cooperate, and you're new to interactions among a community you've never been active in.
Jul 22, 2014 at 1:00 AM - Sparrow Lancaster: So I'll admit, I get a little flustered, and my feathers rather ruffled.
