26. Salad cream

100011011. If we re-worked the idea into a binary system, we could recite a single number and it would encompass all of the arguments we wanted to make. (In Hex then...FA)
28. I made it to the sidebar!
29. (this insult reserved for future insults)
30. Deadpan. Gales of laughter ensued.

Can 'arcade' be used an adjective? I can't understand the meaning of 46. Maybe you mean arcane?
Grammatically, yes, almost any noun in English can be used as an adjective.
It's a quote from Tycho Brahe, so while he may have had a typo there, in the context it sort of made sense - arcade as in primitive, as in arcade vs. simulation in racing games; so I decided to leave it in there.

It must be arcane, not arcade. Arcade means a roofed area, usually with arches.
Since the first of the two files was a cut&paste from the original thread it must have been wrong to start with...
Flasher, can you please add "Been There, Done That"? Thanks.

Why, certainly. :)
