and enticing Danger into the den. Happy days.
I still suspect that it's some sort of trap, but I'm enjoying it so far. :rolleyes:

Oh it is. It's more addictive than cocaine, and more time-wasting than Nintendo.

Surely, you are only referring to GD.

Wait, what am I saying? :redface:

Oh, and GD is FULL of useful information!

Why yes. As long as you need to know:

- The longest place name in New Zealand
- Relative merits of different web browsers
- Information on imminent releases of Douggie Adams based films
- Spam
- Dog weddings
- Cookware
- Farm machinery.


Otherwise, you're screwed.

Where else could you find such a diverse wealth of knowledge?

(I mean besides the tabloid at the grocery store checkout counter?)

In all fairness, you did warn me ahead of time. But no... my stupid pride insisted that I was stronger than that. And now it's too late... :cry:

Well, if you need consumer reports on washing machines or lawnmowers... :wink:

Some of us might be hopeful in that regard as well. So? What's your point...? :-p

I've acheived a small amount of fame simply by wearing an unusual garmet to a high school once. How intuitive.

Speaking of which, a couple days ago I actually ran into the only person who has a picture of me wearing it, if and when I get a copy, I'll post it for you guys.

I read Hyperspace by Dr. Michio Kaku and was looking at his site and found my way here. I think I'll read Parallel Worlds if I ever finish 100 Years of Solitude. Everyone said it was a great book, but I'm not getting into it for some reason. What a bummer

What was the question?

You MUST! We need it for the calendar. :approve: Hey, your classmates will never forget you. Even if they don't remember your name in 10 years, you'll always be, "Remember that guy who wore the dress to school?"

As long as they hang onto a copy or the negatives, there's still blackmail potential. Then again, how are they going to blackmail him with photos of something he's already told to everyone he knows? It's very clever; no blackmail potential at all.

I found this while looking up something in Calculus and then since I was bored I just kept on reading.
