Nope, I am addicted to nicotine, unfortunately. I started using it as a teenager to potentiate the effects of other substances, but didn't become addicted for years, until I started buying my own packs. Nowadays I only partake in caffeine and nicotine (and once in a blue moon I'll have a drink); unfortunately, nicotine remains with me as a kind of addictive residue from previous activities.

I love caffeine but I'm not addicted to it-- it's not uncommon for me to go through a whole day or series of days without drinking caffeine, and sometimes when a full pot is sitting there I won't be in the mood for any so I won't have any. So it's not a compulsory habit, but more something I take in with a purpose in mind (work or recreation or balancing out my sleeping schedule, which is always being thrown off on account of my night owl tendencies).

edit: Although I did once start to become addicted after going on a days-long binge of the greatest soft drink ever created, Bawls, which contains guarana caffeine. After the supply ran out I noticed I was unusually lethargic and rather dysphoric, though I got over it pretty quickly. As luck would have it, I just discovered my girlfriend has ordered another batch, plus caffeinated mints...

I am definitely addicted to PF, and I mean in the stronger sense of the word, i.e. sometimes it's bad for me to spend so much time here when I should be doing other stuff.

Hehe, I wp'd (wikipediad) Tesla and he seems to have quite a bit of info, so Hypnagogue may be right, it may be that more than 3 case.

The Truth:

I have only one biography of Einstein.

As a child I was put into an institution for wanting to kill/hurt people.

I've never kissed another female.

I love the emo-indie subculture.

You never heard of Nikola Tesla, father of modern AC electricity and the Tesla coil?

Oh, THAT Tesla? I thought zooby meant the 80s hair band.

No, only one. His life doesn't make for such interesting reading as Edison, Feynman, and Tesla.

Are you saying that I have been to a rap concert? Notice that I put that I have never been to a rap concert as one of my statements

Course I meant the band. There's some other Tesla?

I don't know, but I just figured out that Tesla is an anagram for least. These are the little daily revelations that keep the world turning.

Also stale and slate. And tales. Hmm, I'm suddenly not so impressed with tales of that stodgery, stale piece of slate with the least of talent.

So far, all the most shocking ones have been true, so I'll go with the emo/indian thing as false.

Ok I will post mine:

I own 7 2pac albums (true: I own every cd released while he was alive + 7 day theory and Greatest hits).
I have never been to a rap concert (true)
Every rap cd I own was released originally in 90s (false: I own one rap cd that was not made in the 90s - Dr. Dre's 2001).

Interesting! In his native tongue tesla means adze, the woodworking tool.

Good job.
I like gothic chicks more. Those are such a rare breed though.

I can't find "stodgery" in the webster's.

Did you try anagramizing Nikola?

Hold on! What's the definition of a kiss? Bio's post didn't say "romantic" or such like. A kiss can be just a kiss.

P.S. So you never kissed a woman on the cheek? On the forehead? Never kissed your mom? Grandma? A sister, cousin or niece?

No you're not. Females can't resist those musky zooby pheremones.

That's odd. I guess it's a mix between codger and scrooge (?). I thought it was a word though.

Lion, AK: A small, middle of nowhere town in Alaska. Population: 12. Don't bother trying to look it up, you won't find it.

OK, nail: as in, now that we've done the mandatory checkups and furnishings, you may commence driving the nail into the surface of interest with your hammering tool.

You are correct, sir! #1 is false.

Zoobies cannot articulate their fingers into "gang signs" therefore, we avoid "rap" and "hip hop" and all that stuff.

Nope, I had two slices of pizza and a salade for diner, followed by cookies and milk for dessert. :biggrin:
