Re: TD 179: Miscellaneous II: Now without Mersenne Primes!
Is there a bonus for not using a drop?
I have answers for all, but am thinking that dropping would help with a lower score.

Re: TD 179: Miscellaneous II: Now without Mersenne Primes!
There are some messages in my "outbox" that haven't been sent yet, including this one. Is anyone else having this problem?

They've been sent. If they're still in the outbox, the recipient hasn't looked at them yet.ihavejeoprosy wrote:There are some messages in my "outbox" that haven't been sent yet, including this one. Is anyone else having this problem?

That just means the message hasn't been seen yet by the recipient. It is normal. After it's viewed, it will move from the outbox to the sent messages folder.ihavejeoprosy wrote:There are some messages in my "outbox" that haven't been sent yet, including this one. Is anyone else having this problem?
Some people may get the messages sent to their email as well, so it's highly possible that they could have already seen the contents of your message even though jboard doesn't yet know that they've viewed it.

The best thing that Neil Armstrong ever did, was to let us all imagine we were him.

1. Name a host of "Saturday Night Live" whose primary claim to fame is sports. (Pro wrestling doesn't count, sorry Hulk Hogan and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.) (Also, Mark Harmon, Ed O'Neill, and Carl Weathers did play football, and Tony Danza was a boxer, but they are much better known as actors, so they don't count either.) (29 answers)

Re: TD 179: Miscellaneous II: Now without Mersenne Primes!
Linus Pauling is correct for me. The DROP is not. Dam, I had fracking Judah (I'm four blocks away from Judah St.) and made a botch of it by switching to Naphtali because I seemed to remember I used Judah last time this was used in a TD.

I used Dan last time, I think. It's who I played in our community theater production. I figured this time, I'd go for the obvious.MarkBarrett wrote:Linus Pauling is correct for me. The DROP is not.
