Newland FUAQ v1.2


[Back to Entrance]

These are a few questions about gryphons and Newland that noone would sensibly ask, or are afraid to ask, so usually remain unasked (written by various Newland members from the questions that were too silly for the FAQ).

Questions answered in this document:

1. How many times does 'the' appear in the Newland FAQ?
2. How many feathers does the average gryphon have?
3. How many gryphons does it take to change a light bulb?
5. What happened to question 4?
6. Why is Newland called Newland?
7. What is the connection between gryphons and celery?
8. Do you give a gryph millet or steak as a treat?
9. If you put salt on a gryphon's tail, can it fly away?
10. Am I insane?
11. Cool! Can I get a signed certificate?




1. How many times does 'the' appear in the Newland FAQ?

28. However, if the count were to be case sensitive, it only appears 25 times. 3 of the thes are 'The' and not 'the'.




2. How many feathers does the average gryphon have?

Simply average answers A, B, and C for the final answer:

A: *counts* 1... 2... 3.... er, lots.
B: 371,292 on the head. Roughly. Now, using that to caculate, I'd say... 5,836,007,981 feathers. Roughly. :)
C: I believe a subcommittee should be established to determine the exact amount!*gg*




3. How many gryphons does it take to change a light bulb?

Ah! Now that would be telling!




5. What happened to question 4?

It was hoarded by a little purple dragon.




6. Why is Newland called Newland?

Many of the new arrivals fly in, so therefore have to land, so they are landers. As they are new, they are newlanders. Those called newlanders must live in a place called Newland. Those who are not new live in Newland, so are Newlanders. (Note the difference in case of newlander and Newlander to denote the two meanings).




7. What is the connection between gryphons and celery?

Not a lot, although celery makes a novel and attractive fashion accessory when turned into gryphon earrings. This fashion has so far failed to catch on.




8. Do you give a gryph millet or steak as a treat?

A gryph's fine pallet must be satisfied with something much more complex. First, get raw millet, and wrap with a raw, flexible steak. Stuff with chocolate. Serves 683.




9. If you put salt on a gryphon's tail, can it fly away?

It can fly away, but it might not fly away. It might stare at you with a puzzled expression on its face instead. If you're really unlucky it'll morph into a neon pink beholder, and zap you with its disintergrate eye stalk! As this has never happened before, you're probably safe.




10. Am I insane?

If you've carried on reading till this point, you probably are.




11. Cool! Can I get a signed certificate?

Yes. Print one or more of the certificates below, add you name above the dotted line, and sign it at the bottom. If you have a long name, you might have to shorten it to fit it above the dotted line, but there's plenty of space in the signature section to include your whole name.
