No, you’d probably sob over their deaths because of how handsome you think they look.
My... facsimiles? I guess they were as good looking as I am. Which, honestly, isn't sob worthy. And since I was also murderating them, I had more of an evil grin than anything.
To all you Europeans out there: when referring to 1,000,000,000 do you say "milliard" or "billion"?
In Germany thats a "Milliarde" but in the US it's a "billion".
A "Billion" in Germany is 1.000.000.000.000 .
(we also have a reverse use the "." and the "," regarding numbers)
Some idiot youtube commenter with a superiority complex is arguing with people about proper large-number usage.

Technically, both are correct depending on if you're using the short scale or long scale large number naming system. Like der_ketzer said, in countries that use the long scale number naming system, billion is 1,000,000,000,000 (in the short scale naming system, that number is called trillion). The name given to the number in the countries with a long scale naming system is indeed often milliard (or milliarde). Billion in the short scale naming system is 1,000,000,000. Most English speaking countries use the short scale naming system.
The long scale naming system is older, and has been mostly superseded by the short scale naming system. However, like imperial vs metric or fahrenheit vs celcius, even though one form of measurement has mostly superseded the other, both are correct. They just differ depending on the country.

Metric is better. Makes the math so much easier. And Fahrenheit makes no sense at all. Celsius isn't much better.
The Walt Disney company certainly felt like they had to "buy" the rights to Oswald from Universal with the Al Michaels trade in 2007. Whether or not they have similar rights as they've guaranteed themselves with Mickey Mouse is hard to say because intellectual property law is a clusterfuck at best, but I'm sure their lawyers could put up a good enough(and more importantly, expensive enough) case that nobody should probably try and bother.

You’re in the list because I needed another female character. I couldn’t think of anyone else besides coolsome.
Just kidding, coolsome.
Also, Alcoremortis, you aren’t the murderer. ___________ is the murderer.
I’ve also decided that once it’s finished, it will be a poll thread, so people can choose who the killer is.
Well, you've just given us the clue that I'm not the murderer. Which is a shame, but I guess I can add another gory demise to my list of literary credits. I just ask that there be no intestinal severing, because that just gets disgusting and causes a horrible mess.

I absolutely would have farted in her presence.

Also, I'd take WordPerfect over Word any day of the week.
Check out Google Docs (might be called Google Drive now). It's free, and you only need your web browser.

I wasn't arguing which was correct so much as asking so to satisfy my own personal curiosity.
Metric is better. Makes the math so much easier. And Fahrenheit makes no sense at all. Celsius isn't much better.
Kelvin is the only way of measuring temperature.
In that case, what do you call 1.000.000?
Oh my God. They found me. I don’t know how, but they found me.
THE MURDERER IS
I swear, were you reading my forum fiction? This is almost word for word for how I operated that... one... time...
Well.
This leaves only one question: Why did I kill you?
You need a reason?
Not really, but they're generally nice. Makes a better story for one thing.

I have a problem!
After seeing that video, I really want to hurt that fucker with the camera for letting a baby get hurt like that.
Yes. Yes you do.

It will toughen the child up.
Or the cat.
YES!
I'm still male according to the forums! *fistpump*
