If you're gonna run, run for excersise.  If you want the high, do drugs.

Drugs screw up your body so you don't even get the exercise. Anyway, a runner's high is like one of the most awesome things on the planet.

I love running, and I've been at it for over 5 years with track and XC now. I really can't imagine taking a break to eat in the middle of a run, though. Seems to be the same as taking your lunch into the ocean and swimming to shore as you eat it. xD

This rules:

Rice's off-season workout programs are infamous throughout the league. Most notably, his grueling 6-day-a-week offseason regimen of running five vertical miles coupled with running wind sprints up the steepest section in the hills near San Carlos, California. He is known to push himself mercilessly to keep in top physical shape. Many other NFL wide receivers have approached Rice in the hopes of working out with him during the off-season.

Rice just explained some of his success as being the result of Rock Lee hard work. That rules.

I remember watching an interview for my sports med class about his strict-as-hell regimen. Even the top and most promising footballas(as we called them) in the class would never even try it. xD

I would probably enjoy the sprints up that hill though; I've never done any sprints at such a steep incline, but it looks like the best workout a sprinter like me could use.

X/C for 5 years now, track for 2. I'm a runner all through, and I think its the best form of physical exercise you can possibly do.

And I agree . . . hills are fun (you know, in that crazy-runner, feel-like-you-want-to-die-after-way. The best kind of fun). That actually makes me want to try running up that; I've heard California has some pretty crazy hills, and I'd love to try them someday.

Time, Space, and Dimensions / Re: Name plot holes for Chrono games.

« on: December 07, 2006, 04:15:38 pm »

I have one for Chrono Cross!

In home world, we have the dead sea, right? Which means there was nothing to fight dinopolis in the dark ages. Dinopolis should have remained in the sky during the game.

*goes off to dance*

Under the Compendium's framework, the split is not retroactive. Otherwise we'd have more than six plot holes already.

So then Chronopolis should appear in both dimensions, right? What gives it the right to only appear in one dimension even though the spit happens after the time crash.

According to the current theories, Home World splits from Another World in 1,010 A.D. This means that in 12,000 B.C., there is only one dimension. Chronopolis splits in 1,010 A.D. like the rest of the world, but its Home World version turns into the Dead Sea.

However, one Chronopolis ghost claims that FATE watched over Home World before 1,010 A.D. (before its supposed creation!), so this is kind of weird. This could warrant a big discussion I guess, but analysis these days is not very active...

I'm working on a timeline that explains all of those things . . . I'll post it when I finish, although somehow I doubt you guys are gonna like some of my ideas, since it turns a couple things that seem to have been generally assumed to be true upside down. Despite it being a kind of radical idea, though, I hold that it is possible to explain all of this.

Time, Space, and Dimensions / Re: Cause of the Dimensional Split

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but the fact that there is two Kids seems like the only really hard to explain problem with the split not happening in 1010. In fact, if there is only one DBT, then isn't it conceivable that a Kid appeared on the planet in every dimension at the same time? I know this seems maybe a little crazy . . . but crazy ideas are what I do best, and is there any reason it couldn't have happened?

I only press the issue because I still can't understand Lucca's quote on Opassa Beach in any other way, and that seems like the only concrete evidence we have one way or the other.

Time, Space, and Dimensions / Cause of the Dimensional Split

« on: December 05, 2006, 02:44:57 pm »

Ok, I'm relatively new to this site, and this is my first time posting in the forums, but I've read through most of the encyclopedia. I just recently replayed through Chrono Cross, and something bugged me.

When did the dimensional split happen, and what exactly caused it? There may not be enough information to determine the cause, but we should at least know when it happened. I ask because it seems like there is a general consensus on this site that the split happened in 1010 A.D. when Kid went back and saved Serge from drowning. This quote, though, is from Lucca on Opassa Beach before the battle with the Time Devourer:

As Schala fell through the
   time gate in this condition,
   she heard your crying
   echoing through time...
   That is when her story and
   yours began to intertwine...
   It is also when the past and
   the future began to intersect,
   and when the world became
   divided into two...
   Led by the pitiful crying
   the young Serge made as
   the panther demon's poison
   took hold of him...
   Princess Schala traveled ten
   thousand years in time to try
   and make contact with this
   dimension!

Based on that quote, it seems like she could have been referring to the split happening either in 1006 A.D., or, as I had assumed the first time I played through the game, in 12000 B.C. In other words, the split may have been caused by Crono's group's meddling in the events of the Ocean Palace, since that is what eventually caused Schala to be sent to the DBT and merge with Lavos. Of course, the rest of both worlds would have continued on the same or similarly anyway, up until the years prior to the events of Chrono Cross, since until that time this event probably would not have had a significant impact on it. The main difference would have been the existence of Chronopolis and Dinopolis in one of the worlds, but as we know, the Records of FATE were used to prevent contact with the mainland up until the Home World ones stop receiving information from Chronopolis. Note that this would also explain why Chronopolis is shown to have been influencing both worlds prior to 1010 A.D.

Obviously, this all falls apart if there is some kind of concrete evidence that he split happened in the year 1010 A.D., but the closest thing to evidence relating to the exact date I could find was the quote I posted above, and that implies that it did not happen that year. Is there something I missed?
