    12-Year-Old Gets Maxim Mag, Mom Not Happy

    This does happen a lot in the magazine industry. At least they weren't total pricks--they could have given him "Knitting Monthly" or something like that.

    Confused Briton seeks clarification from right -wing Americans

    Three things: First, during the Bush years, there was a VA Hospital (Walter something-or-other)that happened to have, among other problems of hygiene, understocking, and understaffing, a RAT problem. Anybody remember that? If we aren't able to keep up our Veteran's medical care, how the hell...

    Poll: Which Combat Role Do You Play

    Melee. Don't care about the game, my strategy still involves getting right behind you and kicking your ass at close range. Why? Because My aim sucks.

    A lot of people are for healthcare reform...

    It's been proven that private school kids tend to, on the whole, TEST better than public school children. Since most private schools can pick and choose their clientele while public schools accept everyone who applies (in theory), I don't really see correlation being equivalent to causation...

    inspirational quotes/people

    Two of my own best lines: "If God didn't want us to help each other out, then why did he put us so close together?" "God's a comedian, who else would make a platypus?" Some of the best advice my parents ever gave me: "Try it." My mother was brilliant with this one. "Politics will...

    Poll: Stop raping science please

    Heavy water is technically a carcinogen that is related to radioactive pollutants. Hard water is a water that is polluted with specific mineral sediments. If someone you knew was using these terms interchangably, you should tell them to do a little hydrology. Also, almost everyone's water...

    Life is like a ___

    Life is like a cheesy '70s-era Kung-fu film. It's pretty fun and awesome if you have the sense not to take it too seriously and just enjoy it for what it is. Also, it has people whose hair is more powerful and deadly than you shall ever be sometimes.

    Favorite Star wars character

    Honestly, Palpatine was pretty bad-ass. I mean, how many of us could manipulate an entire transgalactic government to self-implode and then instill a new era of tyranny? That's pretty talented.

    Poll: Coursework: good thing or bad?

    Honestly, it depends entirely on the subject, and the usefulness/relevancy of the coursework. Both of those are portions of how you need to grow to understand things.

    Most Random/Useless thing you know.

    Right...and theres' also a connection between girl scouts and global warming. Now TALK! Since everyone's mentioning fun names for groups of animals, I recommend "crash," the affectionate category for a group of Rhinos. Elephants are always right-handed, so quickly turning left is the best...

    Things you would not do for love (define THAT)

    Hmm. Well, throw my ambitions out the window. Give up being a nerd, avoid new things, suddenly become a bigot, break my break trying to please her family, or swear off kung-fu movies. Thankfully, I tend to find geeky girls who like my horrible dubbing jokes. That's life.

    Worst Game Idea You Can Think Of

    Two ones I thought I was gonna see: Your Mother: The Game. If you need explanation, ask someone who's willing to mack you around before hand. Suicide Bomber Sim. Strangely enough, this could work if you did it right.

    Halo Killer Sentenced to Life

    Okay, I apologize for jumping down your throat and coming off as an ass. I just got the whole vibe of "American=violence-crazed," and that tends to irritate me. I'm one of the most pro-American pacifists out there, odd balance that is. As for the whole riot thing, it can go either way. Some...

    Halo Killer Sentenced to Life

    Sorry for the double post, bu you posted while I was posintg, and I need to deal with this moronic stereotype. Nobody died at the superbowl last year. In fact, I don't remrmber a single injury occuring at the super bowl last year. How many soccer riot casualties in peaceful Europe, eh...
