Mata owns the Royal Mint. New coins for 2010 include the 38.33333333 pence coin, and a £1000 coin made from uranium.

Excitingly, in 2011 he'll bring us new shapes for existing English currency, matching the value to the number of three-dimensional sides. Thus the 50p piece will be a pentacontagon and the 20p an icosagon. The 1p coin is still being debated.

Hang on! When did rumours about me begin to creep in?

I've heard that Mata is the sort of shifty soul who will try to divert attention from his own evil deeds to others.

He's not the one with a tiger in his freezer..

I for one would love to see the mobius strip 1p coin.

Awesome awesome awesome!

Maybe this rumour should be a reality!

Yes. Yes it should. It'd both make it easeir to identify the price of a beer in your pocket, AND be intensely cool!

As Mata left England for Holland he declared, "My work here is done..."

I fully support this scheme. I think the new less pocket sized wallets will be a perfectly acceptable trade off for the upside: essentially having multi sided dice with you at all times!

You could carry a tube, rather than a wallet. I foresee a revolution approaching in currency!

Oh, by the way:

Mata creates a new animation every week, but just keeps them to himself.

Actually he shares him with all his favourite forumites, he just doesn't like you.

Mata is responsible for a giant cloud of fog drifting over western europe, which conceals his armies of the undead. It's true, I read his confession:

During heated debates, Mata will quote irrelevant and inconsquential Bible passages in order to avoid confrontation.


<Anon> But what about the fascism?! Their human rights?! The constant struggle of the common man through the trials and tribulations of oppressive life?!
<Mata> At times like this, I like to recall Genesis 18:9: "'Where is your wife Sarah?' they asked him. 'There, in the tent,' he said."
<Anon> Umm... right, okay... but doesn't it bother you that we are being crushed by the tyrannical powers of dictatorship?!
<Mata> Well, perhaps you should consider reading Joshua 15:2: "And their south border was from the shore of the salt sea, from the bay that looketh southward".
<Anon> Oh, forget it...
<Mata>

Uptown Mata! He's been living in his uptown world.

Mata, Mr. Fuzzy and Mr. Brick* are actually the holy trinity from the bible irl. Think about it - they were here in the beginning, and they shall be in the end~

(mrbrick and jonman are exchangeable in this metaphor)

Mata could not, would not, on a boat. And will not, will not, with a goat.

But he did, with the goat...

Mata is a Marmite trafficker

Yes, about to quote myself but, having posted, it made me want to go for this next:


Mata is a marmot trafficker

Mata is a chicken from out of space always roaming to find some
........puppies?

That sounds a bit frightening.

At easter, Mata buys all the bunny shaped marshmallow peeps he can find. He then takes these and places them all around his home and gives speeches to them as he pretends that they are his own marshmallow bunny army. When he gets hungry though....don't even ask me about the carnage!

Mata wants his student to come into iRC with us so she can learn lots about Mata that isn't kosher.

I guess I have to take extra Mata lessons XD

/server dfx.at + #burrito

What is that? ^^.... and what is iRC btw *blush*

IRC is a chat service that we use to talk to each other, and she was giving you the server and room that we use.

This post here tells you how to get an IRC chat program and this post here explains how to connect to the server and join the room that we chat in.

Mata is a squirrel monger.

Oh crap. Whatever you do, don't tell Sharazad that everything in this thread is true.

thanks LoLo, I dont know if it works yet but I will figure it out eventually..^^

I hope you enjoyed your first foray into IRC, last night Welcome!

Mata's growth was exponential.

Yeah I really like you guys, and it seems you have the same humour ^^
So I will be on some more

Thanks Hobbes

Mata's boasting in an open foyer.

I've heard tell that he's a patent troll.

I heard he is growing boobs in his arm pits

No, no, he's a patient troll... he'll sit under a bridge for aaaaages until a billy-goat decides to cross.

Mata is a comic book about spoons

In Mother-England spoons are comics about Mata.

The term 'Purple Monkey Dishwasher' was coined by Mata.

It was actually just him trying to work out the order in which he was going to eat such items.

Some say that he was, until recently, the mysterious test driver from that popular motoring programme and that the real reason he was fired was because he wanted to see how efficiently he could drive around the test track. All we know is that he now lives in Holland with his girlfriend, running a masters course in computer games design while doing the odd painting on the side and getting drunk on a weekday!

Edit: This thread is like history now...

Mata teaches Ludology, which is the study of Ludo from the film Labyrinth.

Ludo doooown!
Sarah friend!

lol.. btw did you know Mata is the father of Johan Huizinga?

Mata crawls facebook looking for interesting hairstyles. Then, at night, he sneaks into people's homes and steals their hair.


True fact.

Mata let the wrong cat back in the house.

and the right one out of the bag.

He put it in the bag in the first place, though. Just because.

Mata turns 16 today!

I've heard he talks about himself in the third person.

I hear that mata is the antithesis to Atom Heart Mother

That's true. Every morning I eat Alan's non-psychadelic breakfast.

Mata is at risk if you do not keep up repayments on a mortgage or other loan secured on him.

mata's pockets is eatin' cheesecake.

Om nom nom.
