I have 7 calling cards for 500 minutes each so I'm good.

I have long distance, but mom'll have a duck if I use it for too long. :lol:

and by "free long distance" i really mean "$50/month phone bills"

Good thing I get real free long distance with my cell phone service provider. Go Virgin Mobile!!!

My little orange dot in the middle of the map and the blue color was a slightly different shade on the left than the right side... but now the whole map is the same color blue.

Will I ever see land again?

I have enough food to keep sailing the same direction forever, I just hope it really won't be forever.

Is the world round or will I fall off the edge?

Or must I just learn this myself as I eat my last potato and see the seagulls circling?

Perhaps the world is flat, perhaps the world is round. That is something that your character will have to figure out.

And you might or might not see land again. You never know and further if you been sailing in the same direction and have hit nothing then perhaps it might be a good idea to change direction and see if you get better luck.

or if he changes direction he might miss the only land for years around, so perhaps he ought to kepe going in the same direction?

if he's been going in the same direction for all the voyage, before he dies he could turn the boat around, and then in many years time:

" 800-3 You see an empty boat drift into Siom" :lol:

Yeah, what happens to boats at sea when the owner is dead? will it just stop, or are there currents that move the boats back to shore?

I thought someone said they carried on after the owner died.

Well would they dock on themselves? :?:

They'd probably just run aground.

Yes, but would they ever be tamed? Because there might be useful recources on the boat, such as steel.

I agree with Richard - to figure out whether the world was flat or not, people had to sail just far to the border of the world

... You'll now eventually whether you'll fall off or not, I think

...

And yeah, whether to continue straight or make a turn ... there's no rational argument for either choice, I think

... As long as you calculate that you have enough food to simply turn around

...

My boat is broken :-(

and I also had to post because this is post 667...and I'd feel funny leaving my post count at 666.

LOL Why? Got something wrong with the number 666? :twisted:

west · Postby **west** » Tue Dec 09, 2003 10:37 am

actually, and ironically, the last 4 digits of my cell number are 6661.

666 x 3 = 1998 when my first child was born.
