I've added the bottom *TWO* layers. I thought there was only one, I was wrong... corrected, anyways.

This was not easy to come by. It took me three days to get the files I needed and several hours of hair pulling and yelling at my computer to extract what I wanted... but I give you...

Minas Tirith.

It's all there, externally. Detail wise, the top is detailed and the lower layers are just roughly laid out, but it would make a great reference either way.
Everything is there except the lowest layer. ( The outermost wall. ) I get that added in tomorrow. 

Now stare at what I have acquired and drool over it.

I remember that map.

Lol, something similar to your idea except i would do it on the moon.

I would build a massive shrine on the moon depicting human dna and the creation of humans. It would have a whole load of statues of alien greys like this.

Haha. I like that idea!

I would keep mine confined to the earth to keep the costs from growing exponentially.

The moon is tricky though. In order to place something without making marks that shouldn't be there... you'd pretty well have to drop it from orbit.

I do enough stuff as is to prevent mind rot.

I just got a 5x5x5 Rubik's cube. Solved it first try.. though.. it took a while.. over a half hour.

I'd started a thread on this a time ago, if I recall correctly. It's been on my list of things for a while.

I'm going to do it in UDK instead though.

I don't think I'd need the education if I was that rich, personally.

Active outgoing lifestyle, friends, and helping bums are great things to do however.
One could easily help an amazing number of people with a billion cash dollars.

If I was to do something constructive: Rather than sending that one doller per month to Africa like they say on TV... I'd set up shop there and put money towards food and agriculture, and make damn sure there is progress. Besides this, building more schools and hiring enough teaching staff to fill those and the existing ones, as well as paying high enough salaries to keep them there.

Rather than donating to some organization, one must do things themselves.

More thoughts:

I would want at least three marker stones. These stones would have THEIR OWN latitude and longitude on them, and they would be sunk about forty feet into the ground to ensure they don't get moved easily, if at all. The top of the stone would be exposed with the markings carved on the top, and again part way down the stone.
These would serve as reference points.
--------------
Between the three of them: One would contain THREE latitude measurements ( Marker A ), another would contain THREE longitude measurements. ( Marker B )
The third one would have the latitude and longitude of the previous two markers ( Marker C ) and of course they would have their own coordinates.

This means that one marker tells the location of the other two. The other two together, tell you the location of three of the statues, the statues in turn tell the wise man the location of the one preceding them in the sequence. This means that finding them in the wrong order can be very time consuming, but in the correct order things become much easier.

The markers would be *very* far apart. I'm thinking one in the mountains in northern British Columbia (Marker A), one somewhere in the mountains by Santiago in Chile (Marker B), and the final marker containing the location of the other two would be somewhere in Amazonas, Brazil. (Marker C)

I'm very bored, and don't feel like doing anything else... so this is what I thought of:


So... If I ever make billions of dollars ( unlikely ) I have a plan to blow half of my money.
I would like to make about 100 unique, yet similar large statues... out of stone.
They could be machined or carved by hand; whatever enough money would get me.

The idea would to make each statue similar to the other, and about 10 to 12 feet tall. They could be large faces or something of the like.
Once completed, they would all be buried. They would be buried in line with each other however with an EXACT spacing of 100 miles from one to the next along a pre-calculated path.

The first statue would be located in the north western corner of the Yukon. Kind of hard to find...
100 statues at that spacing, following the course I've already plotted, would make a gently curved line all the way to Rio Gallegos in the southern tip of Argentina.

Each statue would be marked with it's precise latitude and longitude, it's number in the sequence, and a long but partial message. There would be an equation for finding the next stone in the sequence. ( Numbers are far easier to decode depending on how the system is created. ) All of these things would be encoded in some way or another.
The first and last statues in this long line would hold a large key to decoding the messages, but the keys would be incomplete. Roughly a third of the key would be on each end piece; the remainder of the key would be segmented and carved into every third statue in the chain. The encoded messages would decode into Latin. I would probably write some great prophecy over the 100 statues...

Of course it is possible that somebody resourceful could decode the messages without the majority of the pieces, but otherwise, most would be required. The message is incomplete without all of them anyways.

The message would be displayed in such a fashion that you would read from left to right across all the statues, covering at least five lines.
This would ensure that *nearly* all must be found.


You may wonder what my intent would be to do such a thing, and it's really quite simple.. albeit expensive.
Confuse the fuck out of future generations... and perhaps spread fear of the apocalypse. It's how I roll.



If you had the money and wanted to mess with future generations, what would you do?

No re-application from me.

Made it about four years ago. O.o

err... however long I've been playing subtract two months.

Oooo! This is before I turned it into that satanic hall filled with lava.

Jesus fuck!

Welcome back Jesus!

I saw you on an irc log of the server log of the server of the sauer of the game of the...  This makes no sense.

Which 9th?

[Aye... A shout box, says I.]

Aye... A shout box, says I.

I said it in the subject, but I will say it again for the sake of word the count.

We need a Shout Box!

I will not marry you. I promised somebody else I would marry them, should their life ever be cut extremely short.

I am sorry.

Sheyeah.

I wish I had awesome photo editing skillz like you!

I vote that you remove it. @_@
Creepy indeed.

Heh. I've quite enjoyed the past year, and I intend on enjoying this one.

Life is no fun if you are cynical about everything.

No dawg, I'm cold blooded.

So... I bought me a new computer case, though prior to this event I made a futile attempt at relocating the stuff in my room.
After moving desks and heaps of junk around I realized it all to be pointless and put everything back.

I made one change however, which was sliding both of my desks 8 inches towards the door. Sure, the door doesn't open all the way now, but it gave me space to slide my computer back partially between the desk and the wall.
( which is where it is in those pictures. )

Little did I realize, I covered the vent that supplies this room with heated air. With this room being very inefficient, thermally speaking, that was what some may refer to as a, "Dick move."  You see, the ambient room temperature drops like a stone thanks to a fifty year old shitty window, and one uninsulated internal wall with a small hole in it. 

I woke up this morning to a room at 7 degrees Centigrade and a computer idling very happily at the same temperature.

Moral of the story: I type very slow when my fingers are cold.

Oh ya.. I forgot about that.

Right after  I posted that last post, the temp dropped to 18 C.

Got her idling at 19 degrees.
I should note that room temperature is only 18 degrees in here.

Mine sucks too.

My thinger is actually lying, as when I run speedtest in chrome, it adds the number, rather than updates it...

More pictures.

Yay for BREITBAND!

Pics of my rig.

I believe the proper term for that is, 'Gang Bang.'

Actually, you just made the 3874th post. This is the 3875th.
The 3872 and 3973 were made in different boards.
