Is it as fun as it looks?

Well, one doesn't want to be let down.

God. Damn.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-14842999 I can't believe that this one's real.

Usually when you think of people coming to you for money, you think of a person who has it to give, like a benevolent godfather. Me, it just happens at times when I just don't have it to give.

How'd that happen?

Happy Birthday!

Ouch. Sorry to hear.

Wow. Remind me not to go to that shop.

Ouch. That's cold. And I didn't even have my parents brutally murdered by some punk with a gun.

Slightly off-topic but it always gets on my nerves when people get the Captain Planet ending theme mixed up with the opening theme. I can actually stand the opening theme. That was a spoof right? Please, tell me that's spoof.

And now, I'm having a massive anxiety attack. This isn't fun. So, I've still got a high-ish fever, and I have a throbbing headache. Yeah, this has been a fun few weeks. If it means anything, I have a migraine right now.

Exploded?

That's a shame...

"Gentleman, I'm proud to be an American."

Fun fact: the Grey Ghost was only a part time member of the Justice Guild.

Happy Birthday. Try to be good.

I'm a regular migraine sufferer. I typically have one a week, with varying severity. However, once or twice a year, I get one that lasts a few days, the only relief coming when I take Excedrine Tension Headache. The tension headache formula is better than the migraine one, since I can take more of those, so I use that. I know when a bad one is coming on, though, because I have the luxury of an aura, which might be partly what you're experiencing, Mike. It's almost impossible to read when you have one, because areas in your field of vision begin to fluctuate or fade out all together. Within a half an hour, a pain that is impossible to describe arrives. I've learned to take those pain killers the second my vision starts getting wonky. However, it sometimes isn't enough, especially when I get a visit from the big kahunas that last for a few days. That's when I drink Red Bulls. I use them medicinally, and their ample supply of caffiene really help. I don't know if this is any help, but that's how I deal with it.

Sorry to hear, man. It's never good when the pressure never seems to let up. There's not really anything I can say that will make things better. All I can tell you is that you're not the only one dealing with a mess.

I was using them when I was 8. That's not an age thing.

They actually mention that in the article. If someone designed a phone that looked like a communicator, they couldn't patent the design, because it was in a literary work. It's not the tablet concept Samsung is challenging, it's that the iPhone looks like the tablet in 2001, allowing anyone to design something that looks like that. Even some of the functionality is in the movie. Roddenberry could have done the same thing with the iPhone/iPad. The PADD from NexGen looks a lot like it.

Hey, I looked at that page. Will I die in seven days time?

I'd run if I saw that too.

Shouldn't the creator of Buck Rogers get royalties on any rocket engine ever purchased?

Brutal, but amusing nontheless.
