I am a larger angle.  Or "i am an angle of size". But never a "fat angle".

If angles can be acute or obtuse, how then do you describe saxons? Or jutes? Or, heaven forfend, normans?

{I'm just bating y'all with the last one}

I don't know this shit     ...but I guess I can always take a guess, 29,900 bps ?

Shadow, have you checked google?

I've never been into this so I'm pretty clueless of how it's supposed to go, but I simply took the 2log of the S:N ratio and multiplied by the bandwidth. 
I couldn't figure out the context of Shannon's theorem in any other way than to mean asking for the theoretical maximum?  

Dinosaurs were giant hairy bastards. Just because you can't find their hairs on their skeletons, that doesn't mean they had no hair. Just like how they had muscles, but now there is nothing on their fossils.

Yes. They actually are classified as "Reptiles", along with a good deal of other groups of prehistoric animals which aren't in any way 'reptilian-like' either.
And they changed the definition of "Reptile" to be able to do it.

The class of Reptiles used to be cold blooded, with scaly skin, laying leathery eggs, energy conserving animals relying on static balance with spread legs, growing slowly as food supply permitted (rather than age coded). In short, everything Dinosaurs, Ichthyosaurs, Pterosaurs, Protomammals were NOT.

As this was becoming increasingly obvious - that old natural history had got everything wrong - they didn't reclassify the animals. Instead, they changed the definition of "Reptile". It now relies on the number of holes in the skulls, a definition which allows them to keep all old, warm-blooded, furry or feathery, giving live birth or laying hard eggs, non-reptilians, as "Reptilians". But what purpose does that construction serve? It's not good for education, awareness or understanding.

Depends whether they can actually swim or not. Otherwise it would be quite a catastrophic event.

But if we assume we were given enough information, then number 1 won, of course.

Otherwise, I think wet cats look miserable.

Aha, very relevant question indeed.  The nationality of the person numbering them, and the cats was french.
