New Jersey, USAI think it will be pretty clear that he has no idea what he's talking about and that he's just trying to be cute. It doesn't work as an opener, unless he already knows some of the language. I'm assuming he has already talked with her a little bit, and he's just looking for more ways to show off, show interest, and be fun. It's only a bad idea if he's trying something ridiculous like not approaching her until he's fluent. It's also a bad idea if he detests Vietnamese culture, for some reason.
I would do something like this whether I was trying to show attraction to a girl or trying to make friends. There is no harm in learning a little bit of someone's language for the sake of being friendly. If he's interested in her, then it takes more than a little Vietnamese to show attraction and to possibly develop an attraction in her.
Nope, it's Kobe.
However, my barber once trimmed my eyebrows without my approval, and I had Kobe eyebrows for a few days.
I'm taking up the helm.
Starting in three days, I will officially, undoubtedly, unequivocally provide the proofs of my accusations and defend of my not wrongdoing.
Stay cool
It's only been two hours. Inactivity doesn't apply until 2-3 weeks, and it is expected that you try contacting him ;) ;) ;)
"Not their fault you say? WRs keep changing you say?"
Yes, that is what I say, thanks :D
I'm not trying to argue against the inaccuracy of the publishing. Obviously, they got a lot of the information wrong. I was trying to provide a perspective as to what may have been the cause of those inaccuracies, and it looks like my hypothesis is incorrect.
I do still think that it would be helpful to look deeper into the issue, rather than merely posting about it here. Posting here is good for awareness within the speed running community, but I think the "why" is more important than the "what". We know that Guinness published known inaccuracies, but it can't be dealt with until we know why.
Publishing books is a very complicated process, with multiple levels of involvement. It may not be wise to immediately point fingers at Guinness or "the guy" from Guinness without first contacting or hearing a statement from one or the other. Even then, there may be contractual obligations that may prevent "the guy" from sharing certain information, which could seem to incriminate him (I'm not specifically assuming this, at all. I'm just saying that publishing contracts are very in-depth, to such a degree).
From your description of your emails with "the guy", I would actually assume it wasn't his fault that the wrong times were published. If he genuinely appeared to understand and confirm what you told him, then it seems likely that it was some other factor that resulted in different information being published.
Note: I'm not arguing a point or trying to tell anyone how to deal with this situation. I'm just sharing my thoughts, in light of what I can see. Feel free to clarify anything that I'm not aware of. If anyone has already tried contacting Guinness since the book was published, then awesome.
It is most likely that all of the information was accurate at a specific point in the publishing process. For example, vorpal does have an obsolete PB that was posted on the date that is provided in the book. The simple explanation is that vorpal has PB'd since then.
Publishing a book takes a long time, and there is a point after which the information cannot be changed. Neither the release date, nor the edition date (2017) reflect the dates that the information was actually collected. It is not Guinness's fault that the publishing process may not be suited to the fast-paced fluctuation of gaming records.

Thanks, Ozotuh. So an unfertilized egg is the same, except that it won't develop into a chicken?
According to Animorphs, you can only stay morphed for two Earth hours. Since Animorphs is a series of historical non-fiction, then we can use those books as a reference. Two hours isn't long enough to produce an egg.
Also according to Animorphs, the egg you produced would likely disappear. I was thinking this before I looked into Animorphs. Everything about the chicken would be created from your own, original mass. Thus, you would need to retain that mass when transforming back into a human.
I can't think of many other scientific documentations to reference, at the moment. Maybe I'll look into the X-Men series of documentaries.
Chickens don't just automatically produce eggs. It takes time. It also takes a rooster, as you mentioned.
You're a person who transformed into a chicken. Have you even seen a person transform into a chicken? Why should we assume that the person in chicken form would have all the exact functions of a chicken? A person in chicken form is not a chicken. They are merely a person in the form of a chicken.
I wouldn't know what to expect. I would imagine that it wouldn't be a chicken, and it likely wouldn't be alive. At best, it would probably be a strange conglomeration of tissue.
Welcome, Amy 8)
Is there anything in particular that you're confused about, or are you just getting used to the site?
I'm trying to come up with a way to ask what you're talking about, but all I can come up with is...wtf are you talking about?
I think it must say something about your character, the fact that you jumped straight to eating your own egg, rather than wondering about what would hatch from the egg. Would it be alive? Would it be a chicken? Would it be able to transform? How long would you have to be a chicken to be able to produce an egg? There are so many questions to be answered, but we'll never know, because you just had to taste your own period. So erotic.
"There is no reason they should not be allowed here because you say so."
What do you say toward that type of reasoning when it comes to certain games not being hosted on this site, due to there being other sites dedicated to those games? It may be a separate issue, but is it a separate concept? (This is a legitimate inquiry, not a rhetorical question.)

I think Samsara was just being direct and thorough :D
@ozotuh
I was thinking the same thing. Would the resulting child technically be "you"? That's why i considered a body-switch with your actual father. Biologically, it would be a child produced by your father's delicious goop-drops and your mother's tantalizing baby bag. Still, a similar argument could be made as to whether the child would be you, based on different reasonings. There could be a spiritual element, depending on how you look at it.
I started thinking about time travel, but I ended up with a son that is also my brother, which doesn't even need time travel to work.
Maybe if you went back in time, did a Captain Ginyu-style body switch with your dad, and then smashed your mom.

Depending on how many digits you need, and assuming you want the scores in descending order, the best way you can currently do that is by inverting the category's board (I think that's the term used in the UI) and listing scores as XX:XX.XXX. So, a score of 2,999,999 would be submitted as 29:99.999. I can't check to see exactly what the format is, but hopefully that illustrates the idea.
I know that an admin or site mod has mentioned scoreboards being considered for the future, but I don't know exactly which thread it was.
Found it: http://www.speedrun.com/The_Site/thread/3s03n/1#529gc
And I did that wrong. You'd actually have many more digits to work with--XXX:XX:XX.XXX, as long as you include everything down to milliseconds.
"admit the truth that he has cheated."
Yeah, I was going to mention that everyone deserves the right to make amends and be forgiven, but I feel you on your final point. Part of making amends is taking responsibility for previous incursions.
