You're the mod, I would assume so.

Congratulations, Apollo.
I say night I'm living in the forest of my dream,
I know the night is not as it would seem,
I must believe in something,
So I'll make myself believe it,
That this night will never go.

Arguably I have no more power than anyone else to give life to dead topics, though I can certainly give death to live topics. =D

So you can lock a topic, but you can't unlock it?

Sure I can. A dead topic's one with no activity in. I can't do any more about that than anyone else.

That would involve banning thousands of accounts, which would be just silly. =p Also, it's fairly obvious that wasn't me, cos it says edited by you. =p

It could be used for future reference...

Or we could just spam it to death.

Apollo wrote:So we convinced our teachers to let us do an egg drop before the year is over. The goal is to create some sort of contraption, mechanism, etc. that keeps our egg from splatting when we drop them from a third story window. Here are the regulations:

-No transport (RC helicoptor, etc).

-No on-ground defenses (matresses, shock aborbers, anything that would catch the egg. It has to fall with the egg).

-No chemical, combustible, or otherwise hazardous materials.

-No food (Besides the egg of course.Peanut butter, jello, marshmallows etc. are considered cheating).

-The thing can't be bigger than 18 inches by 18 inches. This doesn't apply to attached parachutes. However, if a parachute is in use, it cannot extend more than five inches in any direction of the thing.

-No animals.

I'm convinced that taking your opinions into account, fellow members, is not cheating.

So far I've come up with a block of matressy material with the egg concealed in a hollow at the center, surounded by a thin layer of silly putty/rubber.
I did this in Grade 7. I wrapped mine up in bubble wrap, tied some plastic bags together into the shape of a crude parachute, and naturally my egg survived. My teacher, however, said I had no creativity and gave me a D.

Yeah, gods forbid you should use a simple but effective solution. It's gotta be loony and not work!

(I actually forgot to mention this when I made the spam comment)

We did an egg drop at my summer camp once... but we were only allowed to do it with tapes and straws. I think ours won...
