We got something like that, they did something along the lines of hanging-up-but-not when my mother answered and told them we were using a Mac. :lol:

And, it's real! How adorably horrifying! Some fishermen caught a shark, when they gutted it, this fetus was found inside! So, it had never been born, and probably wouldn't have survived in the wild. But, it seems well formed, and has been confirmed as real. There is some shark expert that is studying it now for a paper to be released soon. Still, really cute!

That looks like something out of a cartoon...

I got my 360 to stop overheating finally...

By removing the case, removing the disk drive, unclipping the fans, repositioning them to point directly at the CPU chip and putting it on a window ledge next to a constantly wide-open window.

I can only play it at night time without it overheating, but hey, it works with no money spent toward repairing it! :D Good job I don't really play any disc games...

Well, it's just a designation. Odious Trident didn't have a nasty attitude and Curious Chandelier didn't seem too interested in checking things out, right?

I guess this is one of those "at the right time, right place" sort of things. I was at Barnes and Noble today (you guys are gonna love this one), and I was walking towards a chair to sit down look at pornography on my phone. Suddenly, a cute Asian chick plops down on the chair opposite myself and her skirt flies up...I saw her bald, Asian vagina. That's right, she went commando. (But this is nothing new. I've gone commando innumerable times, because I find underwear to be an overrated article of clothing, much like athletic arm bands.) She blushed in embarrassment. A longtime female friend jokingly asked me if my nose started bleeding like in anime. But yeah, that totally made my day.

On Friday I had to work at my part-time job (Bagging groceries. shitsux.) until 10PM. To make it even worse, I had to go back at 8AM the next morning, and I am NOT a morning person (my usual wake-up time in the summer is usual noon or later).

Originally I had planned to try and go to sleep as soon as I got home, but after laying awake in bed for 4 hours, I decided to embrace my insomnia and pull an all-nighter instead of sleeping for only three hours and waking up feeling like shit - the last time that happened, I almost feel asleep standing up and my manager had to sent me home.

Not only did it work (I didn't feel tired at all and even felt more alert than usual), I was able to make myself some eggs and toast - the first hot breakfast I've had in months. To top it off, I even got to see the sun rise. :D

That makes for an... interesting mental image but I'm going to assume you meant "vulva", unless you also had a speculum at hand!

Hearing about Legends 3's cancellation made me smile since now I won't be hearing any more from that shitty 3rd person shooter with the Mega Man name gratuitously slapped on it. BTW, the fanboy tears are delicious.

... I sounded really spiteful there didn't I? eh, I couldn't help myself. :oops:
I mean, they already got 2 sequels... which is still pretty generous for a series that flopped to begin with, and the only reason they want another one is because of the supposed cliff hanger ending. Really now, they just need to learn to let go of the past.

I got a book from the library on writing systems (trying to learn Korean and look at the International Phonetic alphabet, since I'm a language fiend). I was flipping idly through, and on some page that discussed possible Near Eastern influences on Chinese characters or some shit, someone had written - in very nice cursive - "Baloney!" My guess is that this is the kind of thing college professors do when they're feeling passive-aggressive.

Made my day.
