I created the alt Cerulean Velox on bnet to mess around with. Cerulean is a shade of blue, and Velox is latin for "swift", though I didn't know that at the time. I took it from Vulpes Velox, a species of fox.
In other words, I meant for it to mean "Blue Fox".
On my new account, I was more relaxed in my posting style. I grew fond of it, but I didn't like that my join date on that account was so recent.
So I changed the name of my main to True Velox, to show that it was my main account.

Since people doesn't seem to see this, bump. About two hours left now.

Thin pancakes. They're superior to thick ones.
Thin pancakes with vegemite 
You spelled "cloudberry jam and whipped cream" wrong.

I've found an article that's in English: http://www.goteborgdaily.se/first-mind-controlled-prosthesisThe world’s first mind-controlled prosthetic arm has been developed at Chalmers and Sahlgrenska Hospital. With the robotic prosthesis, the patient can operate it like a real arm, reports Göteborgs-Posten.
“It is almost as if I forget about it sometimes,” Magnus Niska, who lost his right arm 10 years ago as a result of a tumor, told Göteborgs-Posten.
Attached by a bracket at the end of the upper arm, just above where the elbow would be, this is the first of its kind. In the past, implants like this have usually been controlled by electrodes on top of the skin.
But this time the patient has had a control system implanted that connects to the skeleton and is coupled with the muscles and nerves.
“This is the first patient in the world that uses electrodes to control a hand that he uses at home and in everyday life, so it is not only in the laboratory,” said Head of technology at Chalmers, Max Ortiz Catalan to Göteborgs-Posten.
Magnus’ old prosthesis would often stop working if it got too hot or cold or if he held his arm in the wrong position.
“It is more like a real arm, it does not feel like a tool. It feels more like it is one with the body,” said Niska.
Researchers hope to develope this prosthesis so that the patient can also feel with the use of this kind of implanted control system.

Fawke.
Accent?
Never mind, when I think about it in more detail it doesn't work.
Tell me.
In broken English it works, but if don't think it does with any legitimate accent.
You can probably guess what it was supposed to sound like.
Fox? 
Nope!
Fork.
Try again!
Fuck.
You hit the nail right on the head!

What kind of bread? I've tried it before with wheat bread and didn't like it.
Regular wheat toast.

To accommodate for time zones, it'll start in about eight hours. Los Angeles (U.S.A. - California) Friday 10 October 2014, 12:00:00 PDT UTC-7 hours
Mexico City (Mexico - Federal District) Friday 10 October 2014, 14:00:00 CDT UTC-5 hours
New York (U.S.A. - New York) Friday 10 October 2014, 15:00:00 EDT UTC-4 hours
London (United Kingdom - England) Friday 10 October 2014, 20:00:00 BST UTC+1 hour
Stockholm (Sweden) Friday 10 October 2014, 21:00:00 CEST UTC+2 hours
Corresponding UTC (GMT) Friday 10 October 2014, 19:00:00 Team Fortress 2 was the most popular choice, so we'll play that, and possibly other games afterwards. Garry's Mod was a close second, so if anyone wants to stick around, we could probably play that as well. We don't have any dedicated servers, so we'll either have to find an empty server or have someone host the game on their PC. It's basically connection vs. privacy, as hosting locally would cause lag for the people who are further away. It would also help if everyone who wants to participate posted their Steam names here. I'm True Velox on Steam.

Why are you doing this?
Why not? I found the site interesting and wanted to share a few examples from it. I thought that would ignore it, given the general opinion towards you, and wanted to help by showing that it was an interesting website.

 Magnus Niska from Sweden is the first person in the world who has been implanted with a prosthetic robotic arm. Up until now, all prosthetics has been removable and has had electrodes on the surface of the skin, causing operating difficulties in hot or cold environments. This is the first implanted arm with electrodes integrated directly into the muscles. They are currently testing tactile feedback with the arm, meaning that Niska will eventually be able to feel sensory input through the arm. Magnus Niska is has grown used to the prosthetic and views it as a part of his body, instead of just an accessory. Normal prosthetics need to be strapped to the body and is harder to control accurately, as the nerve signals sometimes have difficulties to go through. This is undoubtedly a big step for robotic prosthetics.

Right now I am working on the next step in the website's overall design...
How would you feel about profiles actually showing Xbox Live, PSN and or Steam information such as gamer tag, latest played games and such, for those that have their gamer tag linked? Instead of it just being a simple link to your profile?
Wouldn't that require the accounts to be linked? Which in turn would require working together with Microsoft, Sony, and Valve to do?

Sounds awful. Something amazing such as maple syrup shouldn't go on something as plain as toast.
Toast by itself is plain, that's why you have toppings on it. Like marmalade. Or Nutella.

No, I'll try to remember this next time I get some.
Spoiler Didn't Psy make a thread like this? He tried it in tea, if I recall correctly.
