Another Harry Potter related post. However I had the idea for this post a long time ago, but only did it now because first my phone went down, and then my computer, and the mid years tied things up a bit. Oh well, it's up now, so enjoy! Labels: plastic muggers
NOTE:
Some of you may have noticed the varying transparency of the stone. Well, whenever Harry holds the stone and uses its KI powers, it becomes a little more transparent. When it's not being used however, it turns opaque again. No, really!
Anyways, as a treat, here's a little sneak of the next comic. ;) Thanks for waiting!
Quick update here! Amid reports that -=[K]=- has gotten his computer back from repairs, he was quoted as "trying to churn out one more Plastic Muggers comic for the fans by this weekend", and he thanks them for "bearing with him during this diffucult period" when the study break has been canceled and so were the Plastic Muggers, even if temporarily.
Stay tuned! And keep watching this space. Not, not this space silly, I meant this blog. You have been mugging too much...
There's pokemon, the oh-so-cute little pokemons that run around wild or get captured and snug themselves into those expandable pokeballs. These pokemons, in other words, pocket monsters, are delightful to see in season one, ok to see in season two, and as the time goes by the 'monsters' evolve to such a state that one finds pleasure in just looking at pikachu alone.
Now, Mugalomaniac has brought all these one more step further. No longer are they just pokemon. They are now... POKEMUGS!. Pocket MUGGERS.
Here we offer a detailed design of the new elements and attacks.
Physics type - Learning ACDC for so long, it's time to put them to good use in battle.
Basic attacks include - DC current, pendulum attack.
Higher level skills - AC current, pendulum of death, circuit awareness.
DC current - a shocking attack to the enemy, 20 percent chance of causing paralyse.
Pendulum attack - once used, pendulum will strike enemy every alternate turn.
AC current - More efficient than DC current, it will have 40 percent chance of causing paralyse.
Mentrome - Pokemug gives out a ticking sound, making the opponent think that it is a bomb and run away.
Circuit awareness - a circuit board appears, trapping the enemy and shocking them every turn. If enemy is wild, no escape is possible.
Geography type.
Convergent Plate Movement - Summons the forces of the earth to cause a devastating mini earthquake in the area. 70% chance of success, but when hit deals considerable damage
Fusiform lava bomb - muggers causes a volcano to erupt, sending a globe of molten rock(tephra) flying towards its opponent
Pahoehoe Lava flow - traps enemy for a few turns, and deals damage each turn. Because this lava flows slowly, There is only a 70% chance of hitting.
Subduction zone - increases by 10% the chance of Convergent Plate Movement hitting the opponent
Econs type.
Perfect Competition - the pokemug transforms into the opponent, copying its stats and moves.
Monopoly - removes all but one of opponent's moves temporarily. Opponent can only use that move for the next 3 turns
Contractionary Monetary Policy - Increases chances of your opponent missing greatly
Multiplier Process - Pokemug take damage for one turn and multiplies the damage back to opponent according to level of pokemug.
Price Elasticity - Pokemug disappears from screen for one turn, then reappears to deal 2.1x the damage as it is highly elastic. Unfortunately this move might result in your opponent switching pokemugs.
History
Peek to the past - pokemug uses opponent's last move on opponent, dealing twice the amount of damage
Time Shift - Pokemug slows down enemy speed, allowing themselves to use more than one move per turn.
Time Warp - Pokemug uses motion to warp its own features, frightening other pokemugs and giving 10 percent chance confusion.
Book Load - Numerous history essays appear, crushing opponent under a pile of essays. Lasts 1 turn for H1, 2 turns for H2, 4 turns for H3 and forget it if course level.
KI type.
Confusion - need we say more? 10% chance of confusing enemy
Question everything - deals slight damage, 20% chance opponent damages itself
Cogito Ergo Sum - A big doubt sign appears and causes opponent to doubt, missing a turn.
Independent Study - A study appears and causes wild pokemug to be blown away by it. If opponent is not wild, study will cause opponent to have 30 percent chance of doubting and 20 percent chance of hurting itself. (This move can only be used at h3 level)
Chem type.
Toxic - Poisons the enemy. As the pokemug levels up and learns more, this attack grows stronger.
Elimination - Shoots a jet of concentrated sulphuric acid at 180C in an effort to remove their H atoms. Or kill them at least.
Electron gun - similar to Water Gun, this effect shoots a stream of electrons at the opponent. However, unlike water gun, it is not effective against ground type/geog type muggers. It can however cause electric/physics type to become confused.
Bio type.
Razor Page - Shreds pages into small sections and then proceeds to papercut the enemy to
death
Prion missile - similar to the Pin Missile attack in Pokemon, this attack enables the bio type pokemug to shoot hundreds of prions at the enemy. A prion is an infectious PROTEIN that has the ability to turn other proteins into itself, and it cannot be killed. Effectively making it a super strong zombie in their bodies. Deals damage each turn.
Heat shock - A technique usually reserved for bacteria, this attack combines electricity and heat to deal damage to the enemy. 10% chance of a burn, 10% chance of paralysing.
Evolution - After defeating at least one enemy in mugger battle, this attack may be used against that mugger's next pokemug. Pokemug will be deemed able to "survive and reproduce" and evolve. Its stats will go up by 0.4. This effect lasts only for battle against that particular mugger.
Pokemugs have four levels - H1, H2, H3 and course.
New rules : Each trainer can only carry four pokemugs at each time. And one of them must be a contrasting pokemug. For example, if one is holding econs type and history type, after catching a ki type the ki type will automatically be sent to the deposit box.
It is, however, possible to hold more pokemugs. As one reaches a higher level, the trainer may choose to take on another H2 pokemug. This however, requires intense training and experience that no ordinary trainer may have.
Once a trainer loses a battle, they have to see the boss for a special round. This special round will be the chance for the trainer to redeem himself. If he fails this round, one of his H1 pokemug may be taken away, for the trainer is inexperienced enough to train it. However, if the trainer wins, it is possible to continue the game as per normal.
(Of course, most people here would just exit and restart the game. ><) After fighting through the elite As, trainers who win will see their pokemugs, regardless of levels, evolve straight to course! This is co-delivered by -=[K]=- ^^
this heartfelt condolences goes out to all the muggers in mugland. it has been confirmed! one of our dearest econs teachers has announced during today's econs lecture that our study leave has been CANCELLED!!!
*faints*
YES!! IT IS TRUE!!
let's observe three minute's of silence for the deaths of sleep-replenishing-days, hard-core mugging for hours on end and the feelings of mock freedom that was bestowed upon, but harshly and cruelly taken away from the muggers of mugland.
*3 minutes of silence*
Primetime Update! - Study Break Broken?
It is confirmed. The rumors are true. In a shocking twist of events today, we have discovered the the school is indeed canceling the study breaks here in Mugland. There has been no official announcement as of yet, but the news has leaked out to quite a few students and teachers, This piece of news has been confirmed by a few teachers, we urge you that this is only hearsay as of yet, so please do NOT put 100% trust into it. (Maybe just 90%.)
Simply put, all we have done today is to uncover more evidence that the school might be canceling the study break but there has been no official response or statement on the matter yet. However, the given reason to all who are privy to this tidbit of information is that our cohort's grades are SO bad that it has been the general management's opinion that we should not be left alone to mug at home. In fact, the only reason that is holding us back from making it a 100% confirmation is the lack of any official comment from the management.
Some claim it is a sign of the Apocalypse yet to come, where the normally sanctified and sacred period of study leave has been withdrawn. They also claim another another sign of the End of Days is the fact that our cohort is doing unusually badly compared to previous years. Indeed, it is believed such an event has never occurred till now in recent history.
So far, we have not discovered whether this event has occurred in other schools (since we do not have any correspondents,) despite hearing this has been a monumentally bad year for other cohorts too. Hence we would like to reach out to you guys. If you have any information on similar occurrences, or if you believe that your cohort is not doing well too, also, do feel free to let us know. We simply wish to ascertain if our school is producing anomalous results or not.
Oh and by the way, this is NOT a joke post or anything. We HAVE received information that the school is canceling our study leave, and asked our teacher ourselves. This informations remains most distressing, and this reporter hopes we will pull through it all.
Good luck to everyone,
July 21 will be a momentuous day. Not only is it the day of the release of the long-awaited final instalment of the immensely popular Harry Potter series, it is also MTPS(Meet The Parent Session day here in Mugwarts Mugland. Hence, we launch this commemorative post, to celebrate this Murder The Potter/Murder The Pupil Session.
Disclaimer: I have NOT read any of the supposed spoilers out there, so if by any chance the events portrayed here actually happen, it is merely coincidence. However, you may wish to skip this post until after you finish your book just in case. Also, this post is merely a joke, and no malice or insult to any Harry Potter fan out there is intended. If you think you may feel offended by this, then we encourage you not to read it. JK Rowling owns all copyrights to all the characters within.
[This is my first time writing something like this so please don't kill me. And I haven't reread my HP series, so I apologise for any errors in regard to the actual story. Though I admit to taking some liberties with the story. Like with the vomiting and the dying and all. =\]
(I don't think this is a fan fic per se either...lol)
"Dear Mr. Potter," it began.
The school recently held its Middle of Year Wizarding Exams, and we are concerned about your progress. Thus, we are hoping to make an appointment with your parents/guardians for a discussion about this matter. The school has already informed your parents/guardians by owl about this.
Your appointment slot with the headmaster will be at 11am tomorrow on the 21st of July.
Thank you for your consideration and we hope to see you punctually.
Don't mind me, but this Biology student is going to get his hand dirty with some Physics.
*blows dust off my 2-year-old-and-untouched physics knowledge*
I'm going to try to figure out how to calculate it first before I get a definition for it.
From what I can remember, W = Fd, which is Work = Force * Distance.
That means to say, Force = Work / Distance. So, I shall now try to find out what steps I need to find a force.
Step 1: Find some homework first
Step 2: Get a stopwatch. Start the stopwatch and let it run for 15 minutes. At the same time, start doing your homework.
Step 3: At the end of the 15 minutes, recording down the number of pages of homework done in an appropriate table.
Step 4: Repeat and replicate Steps 1 to 3 three times for accurate results.
Step 5: Perform a chi-squared test to check the reliability of the data.
Step 6: Find the rate of pages of homework done per minute (pages/min) by using the following formula:
Step 8: Throw the object that you have approximately 30.0 metres vertically upwards. Record the time taken for you to reach approximately 30.0 metres.
Step 9: Repeat Step 8 three times and find the average time taken in minutes. Let the average time taken be Ta.
Step 10: Find the number of pages of homework that can be done in Ta minutes by using the following formula:The Force is a binding, magical and ubiquitous power that is the object of the Jedi and Sith monastic orders(whoops). Force is the potential amount of homework done forgone to pursue something else that is not as productive as mugging.
Basically, it's the mugger's motivation to mug. Ever wondered how teachers say they won't force us to study, but instead we have to force ourselves?
Yes, it's the same force.
"Come class! Let's all imagine the number together."
Oh no. It seems that muggers in mugland are in a situation far worse than thought. Now they have been captured to learn the theory behind complex numbers. Maybe a passerby would wonder, what is so wrong about that?
Complex number, is a number made up by a real number and a imaginary number.
The imaginary number is denoted by i, which is actually squareroot of -1. So it is a number that is imaginary.
Now, complex number is something like 2 + 3i. 2, a real number, plus a imaginary number!
An imaginary number!!
Muggers should have more sense that imaginary numbers are part of the imagination? That somehow, the diagram is drawn to fit the theory of the imaginary numbers? Discarding all the fear I had, I walked towards a mugger who just exited the lecture theatre of illusion.
Me:"Hey! May I know what went on inside?"
Mugger:"I just had the most MIND BOGGLING experience! It rocks! Totally, I mean, I have never even thought there were numbers that were imaginary."
Me: Looks at the awe-struck youth.
Me: "Ok...."
Mugger:(to himself)"Imaginary numbers..."
We have just uncovered that coolness in mugland is seriously warped.
The idea behind complex number? It is a tool used by the evil side of mugland, trying to influence all youths to think about the imaginary and using that, warp their minds about coolness. That's what complex number is.
So let's stand up! Let's fight, mugland! Let's show them that we are clearminded, we KNOW their evil plan!
(far off): Hey sis, what are you doing?
Nothing.
What's that? Your blog?
Nothing. ><
Hey, what's this? (holds up worksheet) Complex numbers?
It's a evil scheme that the school is using to control students.
What?
Nothing.>< It's my homework.
While doing stuff one day, I suddenly recalled making a Plastic Muggers comic. Looking through the Plastic Muggers section, I couldn't find it. Thus, I set out on an expedition to locate the Lost Comic. I went all the way back to about the time Mugalo was conceived, Oct of last year. Waited for my trusty steed Firefox to load the 136 pictures in that month, and used the Epic Ctrl+F Machete of Pages to chop through the paragraphs. After a few misses, I typed Mugger, and voila! The Lost Comics! I found two of them. Labels: plastic muggers
Of course these were my very first comics, so I admit they were not as good compared to the later ones, plus I was experimenting, and putting them in one solid column didn't work, so this is how they turned out. Now, I unveil them here for posterity's sake, The Plastic Mugger Lost Comics!
As they are quite small, I shall post the subs here for those who can't see. Don't expect to laugh though, my first tries weren't fantastic. Lol.
Comic 1 Subs
Frame 1: R - I failed my promos...
Frame 2: L - Gee that's tough luck...
R - Life sucks...
Frame 3: L - You mean it took you 17 years to figure that out?
Comic 2 Subs
Frame 1:Alright guys, I'm giving back your organic chem worksheets...
Frame 2:Why must we ocme back during the school holidays for this...
Ya lor, so sian...
Frame 3:I think the school nothing better to do, so come torture us.
Frame 4:Hey, don't discriminate boys, the school cares -cough- for you, you know.
Frame 5:The school just wants to prepare you for your college second year.
Frame 6:I'll tell you a secret...The school's doing this so you can't blame us for failing since we've already "taught" you the things 2 months in advance before your second year.
This...isn't interesting unless you know about the context. This was my comment on why the school had to teach us Organic Chem BEFORE the holidays, because during the holidays, well, stuff, happens. The stuff you learn gets tossed out, maybe you replace it with a little fun and games, a little alcohol, and you return to school two months later going wha??? for the first few days or weeks.
Ever feel left out? Alone? Isolated? Think you're not hanging in the "in" crowd? Have no fear! Just because you are not "cool" doesn't mean you can never be! Muggers unite! You can form your own clique, but other might just consider it to be a "study group" even though you insist otherwise. What do you do? Invent your own slang of course! That's a sure way to get noticed, and to ensure membership is exclusive only. Here's some simple slang phrases to get started:
Cool - Can be replaced with endothermic/endergonic
Usage: Did you see how he solved that math question for 3 marks! Endothermic man!
Hot - Can be replaced with exothermic
Usage: (To paraphrase the (in)famous Paris Hilton) That's exothermic.
Note! Sentences have better impact if user has a canis familiaris(chihuahua) in hand.
For something that's difficult - High activation energy
Usage: Wah! This Biology question has a high activation energy.
Note! Converse applies for easy questions.
Usage: Haha! The 'A' levels had such low activation energy.
In fact, you can even use these terms for your relationships!
Your parents - F1 generation
Usage: Hi! This is my F1 generation! My mom here, and my dad!
A friend - Temporary Van Der Waals forces of attraction
Usage: John and I just have temporary Van Der Waals Forces of attraction
A good friend - Permanent Van Der Waals forces of attraction
Usage: You will never overcome the permanent Van Der Waals forces of attraction between me and my best friend!
Someone with who you are romantically acquainted - Hydrogen bonded
Usage: This is Jane. We've been hydrogen bonded to each other for 3 months now. ^_^
Someone with whom you are romantically acquainted very intimately - Ionic Bond
Usage: We got drunk and, well, things happened, and we formed an ionic bond last night.
Your spouse - Covalent bond
Usage: Are you attending John and Jane's Covalent bonding ceremony tomorrow?
EDIT: DAMMIT BLOGGER WIPED MY EDIT EARLIER S***.
Jackpot:Used to refer to when one has gotten an MCQ question correct although he or she picked the answer randomly.
Usage: Wah! Jackpot again! The answer really is B! My GC's Random Number Generator is quite smart! ^_^
NOTE:How to Use Your Random Number Generator
1.Press 100*Rand
2.If the Random Number Generator of your TI-84 (RNG-84) produces an even number,
(remember to round up or down)
2a.The answer is either A or C
2ai.Press Enter again. Random Number Generator of your TI-84 (RNG-84) produces an even number,
2aii.Its A. If odd, it's B.
3.If the Random Number Generator of your TI-84 (RNG-84) produces an odd number,
3a.The answer is either B or D
3ai.Press Enter again. Random Number Generator of your TI-84 (RNG-84) produces an even number,
3aii.Its b. If odd, it's D.
And there you go. How to use the highly sophisticated processes included in your GC and maximise the RNG-84 to its fullest potential.
Complex Numbers is the last topic in the J2 syllabus. And there's a reason why they put it there. You're pushing the fabric of reality as far as it gets already, so its best not to fool around with this one.
Remember when they said you can't root a negative number? All stickmen I drew within a few cm of the question died in a few seconds suffering from insanity.
On a side note, I'm still trying to figure out if this is good or bad...haha.
On a side side note, Mugalomaniac registered a whopping a 142 hits on the 4th of July, all thanks to you guys! Happy Post-Independence Day!
Well, i'm not running this project but it's by a teacher of a friend of mine and i decided to publicise this teacher's entry because, well, we're nice people. (: don't worry, it's for a charitable cause.
From http://happystarfish.blogspot.com/2007/06/project-happy-feet.html (and i lifted it off directly) :
And so, far and wide, I am making a call to whoever who thinks they can contribute in some way to bring these slippers to the children. For example, if you...
a) Know a slipper manufacturer/supplier who can sponsor or sell cheap slippers
b) Know someone in the cargo company who can fly/ship the slippers over free
c) Would like to donate in some monetary terms
d) Can spread the word round so we have more hands to contribute
e) Think you can lend a hand in any way to Project Happy Feet
Do drop me an email at projecthappyfeet@gmail.com, stating how you can be contacted, and how you'd like to contribute.
Bless your good heart! I'm sure the children will be very thankful in whatever way you'd be contributing.
Let's make many happy feet!
:)
Let's say you have finished your exams. You see the disorganised pile of lecture notes lying about your room, making it look like the college photocopying shop. The karang guni man won't give you much for them either. What do you do? Here are some alternative uses for your notes.
1)Weight Training.
Guys, NS is approaching. It would be a good idea to train up. A stack of lecture notes containing two years of stuff can easily weigh up to almost one kilogramme. Simply bind them with durable duct tape all over, tape a short handle and use as weights. (Math or Chem notes are recommended)
2)Environmental Wallpaper.
Feeling a bit tired of your plain old blue/pink/green/orange/polka dotted/[insert colour of your room] walls? Wallpaper your room with your notes! All you need is glue, and the result will be a spcetacular dizzying black and white effect that awes the eye. Furthermore, if you are the type who highlights your notes, your walls will be spruced up with bursts of yellow/blue/red/green/orange/purple. You can even study before you sleep.
3)Paperweights.
What other way to showcase your originality and environmental friendliness to visitors by using paperweights made of, well, paper! Just be careful not to lose your REAL work in the midst of all that paper.
4)Steps.
For all the -ahem- vertically challenged, how about considering the use of your notes as a step to reach higher things? Whether it be the cookie jar on the top shelf, or even the sink, your notes will provide a handy way up, both academically and literally.
5)Chew toys.
Got an overactive dogs that wear down chew toys faster than food? Your lecture notes are a handy repleacement. simply grab a stack, roll them up, bind with tape, and you have it! A large supply of toys at hand.
6)New Age Aromatheraphy.
Why buy expensive weird sounding aromatheraphy cures when you have 2 years of papers at home? Simply shred your papers up and burn them in a little pot. Guaranteed to lock the information inside your head with 100% freshness. Beware of fires.
7)Inexpensive fly-swatters.
Roll em up, bring em down. Finally you can actually "rub it in" onto Maclaurin's face.
8)Origami frag.
Now the stress is off you, you can engage in a simple relaxing activity like origami. Used lecture notes are easy to rip and manipulate into paper animals.
9)Fuel.
Scientists predict the coming of a second Ice Age. If it ever happens, a supply for lecture notes could be pretty handy living in an igloo in Singapore. If only I could find the enthalpy change of combustion of paper...
