  1. Dr. Maxwell, how much wood would you chuck if you were a woodchuck who could chuck wood?

    Well, that is entirely dependent on how many sea urchins I had eaten the day before. For each urchin I consume, my wood chucking capacity increases at a rate of ℯ²+x. At two urchins, that is approximately 9.38 wood.

    Follow-up question: If you have seven popsicles, and two of them go on strike, how many lawyers do you need to deal with their Union?

    I believe I would require 1.21 lawyers to challenge their union to single combat in the gladiator ring.

  2. 1.Most visited website? Canterlot

    2.What's your nickname? Maxwell, and sometimes Mordecai to my friends.

    3.Favorite OC that you have? Mine, which I still have yet to name or give a proper personality

    4.Least favorite pony? Rainbow Dash( Yes, I am the 1%) I love her singing, but Im not a Dashie fan.

  3. I'd do it, so long as I could be a pony when I got there. I would hate to be a human in the pony world, I'd be an oddity, and probably be forced to live in the everfree forest to ensure a semblance of peace and quiet. Id like to be an earth pony though. I wouldnt even mind using my mouth to do some things, it seems like equestria is a generally magically cleaner place, aside from the occasional feather flu outbreak.

    I have friends and family that would make me sad to leave, but if I could leave some sort of parting message, I wouldnt feel so bad about leaving if I couldnt come back.

  4. Well, the search function failed me, and Im too lazy to spend time loading all eight other pages, so Im gonna go off memory and say the bags were mentioned in a reference to beach activities. Though I am probably horribly wrong.

    But a bag that size could be used for:

    20% cooler luggage

    Transporting midgets

    Storing your giant hoard of pony swag

    Filling it with balls and eyepatches

    A sleeping bag for the shorter folks

    Oh, and american snacks are 95% high fructose corn syrup, and only sometimes overdose you on sodium

  5. There was a big back and forth on the hypothesis of pony and changeling evolution in the royal canterlot wedding thread.

    But it boils down to these theories:

    Alicorns are the root species that all ponies descended from

    Changelings are either corrupted ancient alicorns, or a predator species that evolved alongside the original ponies, and their ponylike traits were to make it easier to become a pony, or to blend into pony society in general.

    Also, I will banish my E key to the moon, for it is misbehaving.

  6. I just discovered a neat little material called polycaprolactone.

    Simply put, it is a plastic that can be melted at around 150degrees Fahrenheit, and can be safely molded by hand, before cooling and hardening into a strong plastic.

    I intend to buy a pound of this stuff. But I have one question.

    What should I make with it?

  7. Who we are is constantly in flux. To stop changing it a metaphorical death of character. To say that beyond a certain parameter you are not you anymore is also scary. If Fluttershy changes, it might not be popular or organic, but she would still be Fluttershy.

    That is indeed true. But how far can the changes go before we become unrecognizable? I'm not denying it, its just that there comes a point where the changes supercede the original personality traits, and the original personality is gone. Though with the quality of writers FIM has, I doubt we would ever see that happen. But progress for progress' sake is detrimental to a character. That doesnt mean that they have to stop learning though. You can continue to gather experience and knowledge to create tools to use following your personality, that is an endless process.

  8. That's kinda depressing. I want to disagree with that just to stop from feeling bad. By becoming a better individual you sacrifice your personality?

    To an extent, yes. Though sacrifice might not be the right word. Your faults are part of who you are. Take them away, and you're no longer the same person. Similar, perhaps, but not the same. Some faults can be changed a bit, like Dashie's growth in MMDW, but if you compare her to the dashie of season 1, shes not quite the same pony. Yes, she changed for the better, but she can only change so much before she's no longer the dashie we love and remember.

    Or for instance, Fluttershy. Progress her out of her shy, quiet, timidness, and you're stuck with a pony who looks like fluttershy, and still loves animals, but she just isnt fluttershy. She wouldnt interact the same, and it would be glaringly obvious that it wasnt fluttershy.

  9. Is there a way to tell if I have posted in a thread before, without having to go through pages of posts on either my profile, or the thread itself? I have a poor memory, so I can't tell if I've been in a thread or not unless I check it page by page for my posts. Or am I just missing something that's blindingly obvious?

  10. Imo:

    Twi->RD->Fluttershy->Pinkie->Rarity->AJ.

    Twilight definitely still has a long way to go, though. They cant develop too much though, else they'll lose their personalities.

    And people keep saying angel went from mean to nice, but angel has been on fluttershy's side from the beginning, starting with ticket master. He pushed her to try for something she really wanted. Yeah, hes a spoiled brat(to put it mildly) sometimes, but he's got his itty bitty rabbit heart in the right place sometimes.

  11. I dont see trixie as a con-mare. Sure, shes an antagonist simply because shes a loudmouth, but her boasting that she's the greatest is just part of the show. Ponies are more likely to watch somepony that is 'great and powerful' over somepony that is simply 'very skilled'. I dont think she should have bragged about the ursa major, but it probably would have gone uncontested anyhow if it werent for the infinite genius that is snips and snails. Despite her boasting, I think she most likely puts on an honest show to entertain the ponies, so long as she isnt challenged.

    She would be a great showmare if she bragged less.

    As for the original question, she wasnt homeless, then ursa made her homeless, but she obviously has some magical skill, so she probably fixed her wagon and continued on her way to los pegasus to wow the west coast ponies.
