Sorry to be the bearer of bad news BlackGAF, but DTL is indeed one of you.

 

[DarkWish]

So I was just informed that there has been some debate about whether DTL is black or not. I don't read this topic, but just thought I'd pop in and confirm he is indeed black haha.

FYI, I was his roommate for two years in college. I haven't spoken to him in about two months though, long story.

Please tell us your secrets.

 

[789shadow]

I actually have a way of verifying this if I were so inclined. But I'm not.

I still need to meet him.

 

[Ignis Fatuus]

Please tell us your secrets.

Most of them are not suited to be posted on a public forum.

Wtf? Is there some network of inside information on DTL outside of GAF that we don't know about?

It's okay DTL, I believed you.

That Dr. Snakes pic reminds me so much of that one Kubo drawing of Shinji.

The only thing similar about them is the angle at which it's drawn.

This pic is fucking awesome. The other is stupid.

Could you answer the most pressing question once and for all?

What, is he trolling? Yes, he is. He's just very dedicated about it and possibly has a personality disorder.

GAF has many secret societies. Meetings are on Saturdays and we take turns providing refreshment.

Oh, yeah, my bad. But definitely a Bleach angle. I would so buy that tie + hat combo...

 

[survivor]

Didn't we have this same exact conversation about DTL in OT3? I even remember the whole roommate thing. Just wanna make sure I'm not going crazy

Damn, and I thought he was just trolling Stat.

The roommate stuff and other random facts about DTL's life have come up but not being a member of "black muscles".

 

[Wiseblade]

Now that I think about it, the vast majority of Bleach's colour character art is drawn from a high angle.

 

[DarkWish]

I haven't talked to him in two months cause of his trolling behavior, I'd rather not revisit that. If anyone has questions, just PM me about it, I'm not trying to come in here just to dog the guy.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

I dont think answering questions on me in the private sector is all that right...its not like I dont already answer any question.

Not kind of, he is. But he's still better than Haruto, somehow.

Wait what?

We are discussing whether DTL is black or not? What happened here?

Time to hop on the DeLorean and visit back the last few pages......

 

[exarkun]

hey ladies, how is Junk? worth the read? Its super long-ish, so I kind of don't want to start it if it sucks. I was gonna read psyren, but the comments about its rushed ending kind of killed that.

 

[gunbo13]

I'm busy all day with like gaming stuff (there is another part of gaf that talks about games apparently, who knew) and I missed "Race Reveal: Mangaf Edition." I already knew Scy and Wiseblade. Others are interesting but I had a feeling about many.

Blame gunbo13 and survivor

Survivor made me do it. Honest.

 

[Laughing Banana]

Anyone care to take a guess as to what my race is?

And wow at GOOD ENDING. I'm gonna enjoy this while it lasts.... still not gonna believe they will last though. Hopefully the author will decide differently.

Now that they started playing music, the anime really needs to come out faster

Really not feeling any of this action. Some developments and stuff happened between the brothers but I just don't care. The monthly wait isn't helping either. I think I will just drop the manga for now and wait for the volume releases instead.

Ive had to do that for that and Soul Eater, some places in these arcs just arent good for the montly breaks, I think Im at least two chapters behind on both.

Slow pacing really kills the hopes of either series getting any sort of revisited anime taking in this year or even the next at this rate. :/ Especially Soul Eater, Id be willing to watch again.

Hooo, really? Does he/she live in Indonesia currently? Just curious

CAGE OF EDEN 147-148.

This is just stupidly stupid of the stupidest stupid ever.

And the author really need to do a quick Google check first--regarding the Englishman and the whale story bit from truthorfiction.com:

The story dates back to the late 19th century and involves a whaling ship named the 'Star of the East', operating off the Falkland Islands in the South Atlantic. According to most accounts, a whale was sighted, the harpoon boats were launched, and the whale was successfully speared. In the violence that followed, however, one of the smaller boats capsized, throwing two crew members into the sea. One of them drowned and the other, said to be a man named James Bartley, disappeared. The whale was eventually subdued and its carcass hoisted onto the ship where the crew started carving it up for blubber.

After a couple of days of work, they got down to the stomach, where some workers noticed something large inside, 'doubled up', and showing signs of life. They cut the stomach open and there lay James Bartley, unconscious and somewhat digested, but alive. They doused him with sea water, put him in the captain's cabin and after a couple of weeks of recovery, he was back on the job.

Most accounts of the story also include a detailed description of what Bartley experienced and felt during his whale of a journey. He is quoted as saying that he remembered flying through the air when the whale struck the boat with its tail – and then suddenly being in darkness and slipping along a smooth passage of some sort. He then came into a larger area marked by a slimy substance that seemed to shrink from his touch. He finally realized that he was in the whale. He said that he could breathe, but that it was very hot in there. At some point he lost consciousness and the next thing he remembered was being cared for by the crew.

Some versions of the story say his skin was permanently affected by the gastric juices in the whale, and that he had a bleached white appearance for the remainder of his life.
Other versions describe his skin as having been left with a bluish color.

There have been a few other, similar stories, but researchers suspect that they all have the same origin. The story of James Bartley is therefore of greatest interest, since there are so many accounts of it and they include enough information to allow some good digging to be done.

The definitive research into this story has been done by Edward B. Davis, a professor at Messiah College in Grantham, Pennsylvania. He was curious to try to document the story since it was so often repeated in Christian literature and had even found its way into several Bible commentaries. His research is summarized in an article in 'The American Scientific Affiliation', published in 1991.

Davis not only scoured newspaper files, original documents and libraries, but spent time in England tracking down some of the sources. He verified, for example, that there really had been a vessel named the 'Star of the East' and that its captain was a man named J.B. Killam. He followed the trail of the great British engineer, Sir Francis Fox, who was so struck with the Bartley story that he included a chapter on it in his autobiography, published in 1924. The result of Davis's research was that he could not find any credible evidence to support the James Bartley story. In fact, he found evidence which made the story seem more questionable. He checked out a report that Bartley had been treated at a London hospital for the effects of the whale's gastric juices on his skin, but could not find any substantiation for it. When he read through the documents about the particular voyage during which the alleged whale incident happened, James Bartley was not listed as a crew member.

More damaging to the story was a letter written by the wife of the captain of the 'Star of the East,' Mrs John Killam. The contents of her letter were published in 1907 in 'The Expository Times' by a reader who had corresponded with Mrs Killam about the whale story. She said, "There is not one word of truth to the whale story. I was with my husband all the years he was in the Star of the East. There was never a man lost overboard while my husband was with her. The sailor has told a great sea yarn."

The story has been widely repeated by a number of conservative Christian writers, including Bernard Ramm, Harry Rimmer and the creationist Henry Morris; and also in the Tyndale Old Testament Commentary on Jonah and the IVP Bible Dictionary.

One of the alleged sources of the James Bartley story was a newspaper report published in Great Yarmouth, on the east coast of England. Davis visited the port and found an article that gave an account of the story, but it offered nothing to help support the facts of it. He also found a whale story dated 1891 – the same year as most of the James Bartley accounts. According to the story, a 30-foot rorqual whale caused a stir when it came close to the shore off the town of Gorleston, near Great Yarmouth. It ran against the town's pier and beached itself while being chased by several boats.

The whale became a local celebrity and was known as 'the Gorleston Whale'.
The carcass was hoisted, became an exhibit for a couple of days, and then a taxidermist stuffed it and it was displayed in the London Westminster Aquarium. According to Davis, two of the clippings he found about the Gorleston Whale, including one written within days of the event, reported that the story had 'inspired a number of exaggerated tales.'

Has there ever been another human being besides Jonah who has survived being swallowed by a sea creature? We can't say, and it is not our purpose to challenge the scriptural story.. Stories such as the one about James Bartley, however, have not measured up to a standard of reliable evidence.
