Family / Re: Something You Saw As A Child, That No One Saw Or Believes You Till This Day. by Rydock(m): 8:04am On Nov 20, 2014

You're too superstitious.

I'm sure there's a perfect explanation for what you saw on both occasions. Besides, what a child might call a 'monster' might be nothing more than someone dressed in a Halloween mask / outfit.

Cut down on the horror movies.


That isn't an indication of superstition, my friend; at best it could be termed an optical illusion in which the gullible nature of the human eye is stressed. Such mysterious events have no possible explanation(s), and it's ill-advised to dismiss someone's claims to have seen such as merely a product of their imagination.

Halloween? LOL!
Education / Re: Most Difficult Universities To Make First-Class In Nigeria? by Rydock(m): 3:54pm On Nov 03, 2014
bushdoc9919:


Yes,you did.

And I wrote it because you Nigerian students think that university is some place to just chill for four years , and then pick up your degree...so that you can sit down in your comfy office and collect N1.5million every month in the oil company (Bank is a good alternative.).Oh, and you think that all the lecturers are out to fail you (that's partly truth in television....but some just make things difficult for you to see if you can surmount their challenges....more later).

But it isn't .

University, my intelligent and witty friend, is where you learn to solve problems. And no problem comes bigger than making the first class. That's where your strategies come in....your time planning strategems, your study strategems , even your prayer and religion strategems.

(And let me tell ya...it is very easy to get a first class...except in my field Medicine...because of negative marking which was deliberately introduced because they want to make us good doctors...not guesswork doctors. It's complicated).

And you cannot learn to solve problems without actual practical experience. Because, that is why University is hard for you....and why all those lecturers are sooooo harsh. Because in the real world, making a mistake can be a very expensive proposition. And in the real world, you will meet challenges that would make your university experience seem like a walk in the park.

Of course...things can be made better...hence my write up.

So, you can get a first class. But since you respond to my problem solving idea with such disdain....not with a reasoned rebuttal or better ideas of your own, I doubt that you are ready to be a problem solver. Maybe your attitude to education needs some change....urgently.

Undoubtedly the best reply-cum-comment I've seen on here.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) / Re: Ballon D Ore 2014: Now A Single Horse Race. by Rydock(m): 9:41am On Oct 18, 2014

A fully fit Messi could have changed d game against Athletico.
His injury was Barca's downfall last season likewise Cristiano Ronaldo.His injury was portugals downfall.

The game is still on.
Hope u're still checking Ronaldo's stats dis season.
Leo and Cristiano are the driving force of their respective teams. True. Their absence, for some reason, would be immensely felt. True, also. I just thought you should know that goal-scoring feats matter little these days in the race for a prestigious award such as the Ballon d'Or.
I must hand it to Ronaldo, though. The dude seems unstoppable.

Gaming / Re: The Scariest Game You've Played. by Rydock(m): 9:08pm On Oct 10, 2014
Resident Evil on PlayStation 一 I literally dropped my gamepad on my first encounter with a zombie, and that was it.
Another was Alien vs Predator: Single-player Demo for PC. Okay, owing to the fact that I don't fancy being alone in the dark, I equally don't entertain the idea of being attacked in near pitch darkness by bloodthirsty creatures. Your, or your character's, blood spurts on the screen, and the creatures' sadistic groans when biting bits off you simply send chills down my spine. :-(

A deep and highly educative piece, this. Thanks a bunch.

someone has not been watching football.
Even from last season till now, cr7 has been the most outstanding player except for his injury plagued world cup outing
Hold on a second, friend. Do you actually speak of the 2013-14 season in which a certain hapless Messi scored a laudable total of 41 goals in spite of his frequent injury relapses? Excuses, such as arguing that a player's failure to replicate his fine form is owing to injury, are rather flimsy. You work hard to be, and stay, fit whilst keeping good training programmes handy.
Be professional. Dissing someone by making cynical remarks like what you did above is rather amateur.

MOWLER.

With the recent stats, the upcoming ballon d ore award is 80% probable of going to Cr7.
It's gonna be a boring award with no contention.
Maybe Ronaldo needs a little injury to help Messi get bk on track.

The Ballon d'Or isn't awarded based on the winner's form in a quarter of a year一Cristiano Ronaldo's continual impressive form from the closing stages of the previous season till date; it's based on his form and contribution for club and country for the whole football season. It is somewhat silly and injudicious to proclaim Ronaldo the unrivalled winner of this year's Ballon d'Or simply because of his scoring streak or dishing out of hat-tricks. Work ethics, teamwork, consistency, and character are the desiderata in giving such an accolade, not statistical figures. Ricardo Kaká didn't win the World Footballer of the Year award in 2007 for netting hat-tricks like no one's business, people. Replicating his current form till mid-season could land Ronaldo the prize; however, if you think he's deserving of the prize already, think again.
