The Welcome Center / Greetings

Thank you all for the warm welcome!  

To answer your question Kor, Ruby would have to be my favorite character, with Littlefoot being a very close second.  Although Ruby can be friendly and sociable, she also has a deeply introspective side that I can personally relate to.  Additionally, her many overlapping obligations and hardships (caring for Chomper, avoiding conflict with the Great Valley residents due to her omnivores nature, missing her family, etc.) make her potentially a very complex character.  Those points were not well developed (and in some cases were entirely ignored) in the television series, but I am glad to see that they have been developed in more detail by some of the fan works I have seen.

Member Recommendations / The Solar System Simulator
« on: August 13, 2013, 11:55:21 PM »
Thanks for the recommendation MurMur.  I have a copy of Celestia, but I have never heard of the Solar System Simulator until I saw your product recommendation.  For viewing objects in the solar system it seems to be a bit more intuitive than Celestia.

The Fridge / How much TV do you watch?
« on: August 13, 2013, 11:50:20 PM »
I barely watch any television.  I usually check the local news in the morning and will otherwise abstain from television unless severe weather or other breaking news events occur.

The Fridge / Your usernames
« on: August 13, 2013, 11:46:38 PM »
My username is a reference to the January 9, 2009 comic of Penny Arcade.  I actually chose this username several years ago when I was trying to join a website known as the portal of evil (which sadly is no longer extant) and was having difficulty finding a username that was not taken.  After going through several simple names (red, blue, square, sphere, hunter, etc.) I became frustrated and simply picked the most offbeat username I could think of that wasn't a random series of characters.

The Fridge / Most powerful large dinosaur carnivore
« on: August 13, 2013, 11:39:34 PM »
I share Blais_13's confusion over the question.  If by most powerful you mean most well-adapted to its environment or most dominant predator for its time, then I would have to answer Tyrannosaurus Rex.

The Party Room / Land Before Time Quiz

I am Ruby?  Sounds about right.  I must agree with the other posters, however, concerning the available options on the music question.

Karol Wojtyla

Chose the name John Paul II upon his ascension to the papacy.  Being of Polish descent, he became the first non-Italian pope to be elected since Adrian VI, who served in the sixteenth century.  He served until his death in 2005, making him the second-longest serving pope in history.

The Party Room / Choose the best Flag
« on: August 13, 2013, 10:30:10 PM »
The flag of Papua New Guinea is my favorite in terms of artistic merit.  

In terms of the functionality of a flag (easy identification from a distance, uniqueness, representing the characteristics of a nation-state) my favorite would be the flag of the United States.

Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk  

This city has the distinction of switching nationalities thrice in the previous 120 years.  It started as the Russian settlement town of Vladimirovka in 1882, before being transferred to Japanese jurisdiction as a result of the Russo-Japanese War.  As a result of Japan's defeat in World War II, it was returned to Soviet control.

The Party Room / Would you survive...?

Hmmm..... An ink pen and a folder of graded exams.  Unless the zombies are afraid of endocrinology, it's not looking good for me.

Hello everyone!  

I enjoyed the original Land Before Time film as a child and decided to google it when I was in a nostalgic mood about nine months ago.  The Gang of Five forum was one of the first search items and, out of curiosity, I decided to see what it had to offer.  After following this forum for the better part of a year, I have observed that it has a very friendly, diverse, and vibrant community - one that I would very much like to contribute to.  

I look forward to participating in this forum and getting to know all of you!
