One syllable. Stee-ou-f. In other words, stuff, only longer and with less intelligence. Kurat's just the Estonian word for Satan. I haven't had much trouble finding stuff on here so far, looked around the forums and things, read about contributing, etc. If I have any problems, I'll let somebody know.

*wanders in*

Estonian word for Satan. How interesting.

*wanders out*

Isn't it though.

Are you friends with the Great beast himself, or have you swallowed the Estonian dictionary? Both are valid. Only one has central heating.

Well, seeing as I'm a member of a nonexistent Estonian rebel task force, I clearly required an Estonian name. Not for any specific reason. Just for the sake of having it. I originally chose the Estonian version of my own name, but didn't like the sound of it. So, knowing Satan usually has a cool name in any language, I decided to go with that. And of course, Satan came through. Bow to Kurat.

Rebel task force?

That's nice

I don't bow to Satan'Kurat I'm afraid. I told him a while ago, I have better things to do...but occasionally he comes around for a cup of tea and some icecream, so we are on pretty good terms...

Rebel task force, indeed.

Oh, you don't have to bow. The poor guy really only uses it as an expression nowadays; he's kinda getting along in years, so we like to humor him occassionally with a bloody Estonian virgin sacrifice every now and again (only certain extremist fundamentalists participate in the sacrifices, of course).

*ahem*

I'm a Satanist by the way

How are you finding h2g2 anyway? I'm being unusually sociable and decided to prey on some newbies...mind you, you do look like you have more than half a brain, so I'm not too worried. We have some right bananas making some postings right now

Ah, I see. In that case, I don't have to worry about you thinking that Satanists actually sacrifice people or other animals. Actually, I was referred here by a friend; it took about 30 seconds of seeing the site to convince me that it was very worth a try.

Oh, and by the way, if you happen to have any suggestions for the COTI Project, they would be greatly appreciated (the entry ID is A893577).

Brilliant. I'm addicted to this place. Some great people around...

Have you visited askh2g2 yet? It's at A148907 ...

You seem to have settled in well I must say!

And to learn how to do the little smileys...you just click on them and it takes you to the pages of codes stuff

Yeah, I've been to several FAQ pages regarding things like guide entries, XML, how to contribute, etc. Extreme helpfulnessificiation.

And I did find the community exceptionally easy to get into; this would explain why already addicted after a day and a half of membership.

As for the smilies, I've actually already looked at the page. Waaaaaaaaay ahead o' ya.

Don't forget your ; that is my only advice I have to you before you swim in amidst the rest of us freaks...

Have you looked at the picture gallery? Get a good long informative userspace up. With many pictures and links. That's always my favorite kind...

I dunno what you're talking about. What could possibly be more informative than, "I am Kurat."?

Well it is always nice to know who the person is! Otherwise it's pointless visiting the userspace!

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Good point.

Indeed. Although there are always new ways of doing things...

Moderately old ways are the best, I think. Why? 'Cause they've been tested, but they're not backward, yet.

You sure you aren't an old user in disguise? You sound *too* well adjusted to this place already!!!
