What's with all of the angles on this site. Everywhere you look in these forums, (a full 360 degrees!) there are hundreds of mentions of them.

Dark Angles, Blood Angles, Angles of death, City of Angles, Avenging Angles. You'd think it was a geometric conspiracy!

Okay, altogether now;

Angle [n] 1. (Pronounced Ang-gl) A meeting of two lines or surfaces. 2. Point of view. See also; slant, tilt, slope, distort.

Angel [n] 1. (Pronounced Ain-gel) Divine messenger, guardian spirit. 2. A person with such qualities. See also; cherubim, seraphim, paragon, saint.

Space Marine [n] (Pronounced Spess Murh-een) Large angry man with receding hair and homicidal tendencies. See also; brute, cad, bounder.

Maybe I'm being a little precious, but this misspelling really infuriates me!

Heh, do calculus with polar coordinates. Then and only then will you know the meaning of the words angles of death.

I feel the same way about people who write 'Spess Muh-reen'.

What's wrong with SPESS MAHREENS?

Touche, although that's the first time I've ever mentioned it! (And it wasn't followed by hundreds of exclamation marks!)

Mysterious Angles? Who cares?
Airfix are re issuing their venerable Angels Interceptor kit *WHOO HOO!* with which to aid the fight against the darstardly Mysterons

I agree to an extent but it is whimsically amusing and may be a simple typo rather than ignorance.

That's captain Scarlet and friends isn't it? I have no recollection of that Angel...

**Chibi Bodge-Battle**

Make-up dealers of the 41st millenium, the very foundation of the empire.

**Kilkrazy**

Now you know why the Chaos Elder Gods are often called the Many-angled Ones.

**Doctadeth**

You are being quite obtuse dear sir....

**Kilkrazy**

I think you are fishing for a response. A lesser person might take acute offence at that accusation.

**remilia_scarlet**

That's the right thing to do, just don't take acute offense at the obtuse statements.

**Ahtman**

The sines of madness in this thread is quite clear; we must be careful for the remainder of this thread to avoid anymore puns lest this thread become locked.

+1 I also feel its way to much talk about the "emperor" and the "alpha legion"

Calculus 3 made me poke my eyes out! That stuff made my head spin.
