Hi iSpinz, i understand that you think its a joke but im sorry to tell you it isnt, im just trying to be welcomed to this site. :)
 
Welcome to the forum. Let me be the first to give you your "cubing brief".

So first of, this forum is filled with some very awesome and dedicated members and we all want to help each other get better. Most everyone is friendly as long as you...

1. Use proper grammar and spelling.

2. Use the search function that you can find in the top left corner of every page on the forum. See if your question has been answered already, or if it belongs in the One Answer Question Thread . I made a short list of threads that you shouldn't make because they have been made before or because your question/discovery (you know what I mean) belongs inside of an already made thread (For example "What does the move F' mean" belongs in the One Answer Question Thread). Here's the list: http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/showthread.php?p=316191

3. Don't make claims that aren't true or try and argue something you know nothing about. (I'm not trying to be mean, just giving you all the info. I can. :) )

4 (Optional). Lurk around the forum before posting. Not really necessary if you feel comfortable with what your posting.

5. Try and better the community. It's what we all want.

Also, just in the general scheme of "speedcubing", their are two types of solve: Lucky and Non-lucky. A "lucky solve" means you had a skip (IE. PLL / OLL skip.) A non-lucky solve means you completed all the steps. Their are also single solves and averages, (in competition, you do an average of 5 to determine where you place in the competition). The world record official solve is 7.08 seconds, done by Erik Akkersdijk . It was a lucky solve, because he got a PLL skip. Heres a Video of it. . The world record average was recently set by Feliks Zemdegs. It is the first official sub 10 average in competition. Video of it. Both Feliks and Erik are members of this community, as well as many other amazing cubers. Their are tons of events, like Big Cubes, in which Dan Cohen rains supreme. Heres a list of official events, and the best times in those events. http://www.worldcubeassociation.org/results/events.php . You can find some great tutorials from people on youtube like BadMephisto . The wiki is a collection of all our cubing knowledge. If we have an alg, it's their. Have fun getting better and enjoy the forums!

Also, not wanting to rain on your parade but 2mins56s is very slow for a speedcuber.
A good time is around 20s, gooooood is 15s and world class is like 12s.
