The only ones I believe are 5 and 10.

I tried it and concluded that these people have an unhealthy love of exclamation marks.

The world's tallest woman? I begin to doubt the veracity of these statements...

Splutters with JOY.

I hope you're not spluttering with your mouth full.

I'm wondering whether to suggest that the world's largest rodent might be closer to the mark, but I might not survive...

[identity profile] altariel.livejournal.com 2006-01-14 04:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Um... what kind of rodent?

An Altariel kind, of course! Intelligent, and devious, and very very appealing.

Altarielolatry is the mindless worship of Altariel.

Mindless?! We know exactly what we're doing.

I love it. Tried it myself. Funny.

Thanks.

Exactly. Who wouldn't worship someone with a 39 inches long tongue?

There are 336 dimples on Altariel!

Conversation overheard at a party:

"And what's your occupation?"

"Counting the dimples on Altariel. A tough job, but somebody has to do it. Like painting the Forth Road Bridge, it's a never-ending task. By the time I've finished, it's time to start again, in case a new one has appeared or an old one has vanished."

I have the option selected to log the IP addresses of all posts. So [livejournal.com profile] hafren's post had "Poster IP Address: 62.252.32.13", and I checked it here, which told me it was in Cardiff.

Aha!

Particularly the bit about the tongue.

[identity profile] altariel.livejournal.com 2006-01-14 06:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Boom boom!

Hmm, I need to work on the brainwashing machine then.

I don't know what any of it means, of course, I just learned how to perform the magic ritual.

That looks really clever, but I just tried checking the locations of the last four people to comment on my journal, and only one of them was correct. It thought I was in Birkenhead.

Altariel can clean her ears with her tongue, which is over thirty-nine inches long.

Ewwwwww. You frighten me. :-)

Some of the online trackers give a list of possible locations for the address you're checking.

So did you learn to wiggle your eyebrows by poking them with your tongue?

I now have it selected on my LJ to log in the IP addresses of anonymous posters; where on earth do you actually access the log, o learned one?

Just tickle me under the chin, I'll be putty in your hands.

[identity profile] altariel.livejournal.com 2006-01-15 07:52 am (UTC)(link)
There are a bunch of IP address tracking programmes online, if you search on Google, but this one is a start (although it seems to be giving fairly hit and miss results to people - I've used one in the past that gave several suggestions for place, but can't find it now).

[identity profile] altariel.livejournal.com 2006-01-15 07:56 am (UTC)(link)
How does it smell... oh hang on, that's another joke.

That's just natural talent.

I for one am now picturing a space station looking something like a golf ball and appearing in phases, like the moon, so that the shadings in its dimples can be read by altarielomancers. The fact that there are six American towns named after this phenomenon is not, then, at all surprising.

Though they have trouble pronouncing it, Altariel is the nickname the Japanese have given to a new form of sushi, all the rage in Kyoto, that is (of course) a ball of white rice with strips of altariel tartare inside...

Meanwhile, apparently over 46,000 pieces of emeraldsedai float on every square mile of ocean.

Great meme. I needed a laugh.

You would be amazed... ;-D

I'm glad you're having fun with this, it's so outrageously baroque!

That's definitely a help; I must be totally daft, though, in that I don't know where to find the log for the actual IP addresses that are being logged, before looking for them! I should probably try the LJ FAQ. :P

Is now imagining altariel as family pet. Trouble with that is cute doggy eyes get noticed before sharp doggy teeth ;)

I'll need a loooong tickling stick, methinks.

Have you picked the option to log IP addresses? The FAQ on that is here. I think where it shows on screen might be dependent on the layout you're using, but it's usually near the bottom of a comment, above where it says 'Reply'. IP addresses don't show on the email notifications you get - you'll need to look online.
