i met naomi novik in person today! =)
naturally this is an occasion for glory all in itself, but i inform you with the humblest of intentions: there is more
now as my mind entertains only the noblest of thoughts, it did not dawn on me, until a long few minutes after the fact, that since she's famous, and i met her, i too am famous by association
thus in lieu of the natural order of things u must address me now as "mr. ender", "sir ender", "khan ender", "the prince of darkness", or "the fist of justice"
i will postpone my other titles in for the sake of brevity, and end this declaration of celebrity with a few quotes from our founding fathers:
"we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, except for celebrities"
one more
"and when the king lays down his sword of justice, the people are still a people, but the king no longer a king"
best wishes to my loyal servants
~
mr. ender
the fist of justice

I might be dyslexic, but that image is stretching it.
(I know that's not how it works, I am actually dyslexic. :) )
Imagine the letter N, but with a red star at the bottom left corner and a blue star at the top right corner. Denote this R=BL and B=TR. Now rotate it around the plane. We can get R=TR and B=BL, but we can never get R=BR and B=TL (while preserving the N shape), which is what you get when you reflect the original N across the y-axis.
Nah, they embassy would rather knight a fucking penguin that you, no offense. (No pun intended)

\signed. I really think Lead is a heretic, and as such, should be burned at the stake.

ok first of all i posted that topic so u can't use it against me
second of all i am not claiming to be a knight, but a celebrity. the difference is that i retain my status worldwide whereas knights only retain their status in sparse parts of europe.

Except for that penguin. Unlike you, he's badass enough to retain both.
Yeah that penguin trumps you, Ender. Sorry.
Can we throw ender out of x86 and make the penguin a honorary member?

I don't think we should throw Ender out. I pity his defeat. However, I think that the penguin should totally be an honorary member.
