Ah Starcraft ...
In the pipe 5 by 5.No its not.
yes it is ... though that's not the origin of the term, it's just my clearest memory of it (from too many hours playing the game) ... also used in Aliens. Actually it's military jargon, 5 by 5 referring originally to strength of a received radio signal on a 5 point scale.
EDIT: I think 'in the pipe' is a reference to an aircraft being clear for radio tracking for landing, but I could be wrong on that one. Common usage would be along the lines of "all clear and on target".
Wow. I think that this is not even close.

I suppose next you are going to tell us the phrase, "The whole nine yards," refers to 27 feet of ammo used in middle-1900's fighter planes.

Never heard of belts of ammo referred to by length, only round count. Personally, I like the theory of fabric measurement (and then the inherent link to the phrase "dressed to the nines").
Gotta love the evolution of catch phrases. Sometimes they can be traced, sometimes they can't, or end up with multiple possible sources.

Now, if only we knew what the phrase, "Dressed to the nines," means? It is one of life's mysteries; like "Why does the sun rise?"

By the way, I put roofies into everyone's drinks, so you wouldn't reply any more. Plus, I need some organs, so I'll browse while you drowse.
Nun-chucks, when the snow falls.

Suppose you and I have the same amount of money.
How much must i give you so that you have ten
dollars more than I?
the amount needed so I will have ten dollars more than you.
What is that amount?
Hurray! I'm not the crazy one anymore.

If it is a constant difference then I’m calling it a hyperbola.

Ah. You are a distance remains the same type of person.
Okay, I'm getting really determined to win. Therefore, I have created a Doomsday Device. It will post an "I WIN" post on this thread with my username and immediately after (less than 10 nanoseconds after the post is up) trap the world in a singularity, so the moment when my post is the last post will never end.
Oh, and will also do very unpleasant things to each and every one of you, so the suffering for you will also be forever.
You can avoid that fate by not posting anything after.
Come on KaeYoss, hit me with your best shot. I'm not afraid of you.
Or am I?
Yes. Yes, you are.
Can you remember the worst moment of your life? Now that I made it think of it, it seems like it was just 5 minutes ago, but it wasn't. Was it? Maybe it was ages ago and it only feels like recent. Or maybe my Doomsday Device is getting up to speed. Soon, it's every 2 minutes. Then 1. And so on, until it never ends but it starts right again.
It's not too late to save yourself.
Coffee in the morning when the walls fell.
Are you saying that the walls of Jericho fell due to a guy wired on caffeine belting out trumpet riffs Miles Davis would be envious of?
Coffee in the morning when the walls fell.
Nope. :)
It is morning here, and I am currently sitting at a table with Shaka and enjoying a cup of imported coffee.
I'm going to be pulling out of the oven in about 5 minutes.
You would. If it ever would be 5 minutes later.

Seeing how it was "5 minutes later" 12 hours ago, I still think your doomsday device isn't properly calibrated. Maybe you need to reverse the polarity of the tertiary linear magneto-coil in the schmucks capacitor?I'm going to be pulling out of the oven in about 5 minutes.You would. If it ever would be 5 minutes later.
Didn't you just say that?
John Adams is mocking you.
Uncle Fester Adams is mocking you.
That’s you, drops of water. And you’re on top of the mountain of success.
But one day you start sliding down the mountain and you think wait a minute,
“I’m a mountain top water drop, I don’t belong in this valley, this river,
this little dark ocean with all these drops of water.”
Then, one day it gets hot, and you slowly evaporate into air, way up higher
than any mountain top -- all the way to the heavens.
Then, you understand it was at your lowest you were closest to God.
Life’s a journey that goes round and round, and the end is closest to the
beginning.
So, if it’s change you need, relish the journey.
I prefer to relish the hot dog, and also a little mustard.
I am dreaming of little dark oceans.
Oh... and pizza.
