Goverment needs money and where do they get it? That's right, taxes. Everytime you buy a box of cigs, goverment gets some $$$. They've counted that cigs can make pretty good profit. If it doesn't, they'll just rise the taxes. People will smoke, price doesn't slow them down. I was wondering that if cigs came out now, they would *never* be allowed to be sold. Now the goverment tries to get as much profit from it as possible. They can't just ban it as there are too many people hooked to nicotine/smoking itself. That would just cause major protests against goverment. Also blackmarked would be running. Just like in Finland when alcohol was banned (released 1923 if I remember right); People bought illegal alcohol, paid A LOT to dealers and such. No1 really cared about it as it had been legal some years ago. With smoking it would be the same thing. Personally I don't mind about smoking as long as you keep it as a private thing. I sometimes smoke when I'm drunk (~1-2 cigs in 2 months or so), but I couldn't think smoking nonstop. I don't see a reason why; not worth ruining your health (might look as an unimportant thing to a youngster), putting 15-20e/week for cigs (I sure have better use for those), I hate the smell of it when it's in your clothes and it doesn't even feel that great. I've used to use a nicotine product (snus, the thing you put under your lip) which gave more nicotine than cigs. Yes, I was somehow hooked. Yet cigs didn't really give me a good feeling.

Poem: lost: Dreamless nights Wasted days Does life have any meaning? What does it have to give? Am I here just waiting for my life's night? There are so many questions, but is there any answers? Who shows me the right path? Who tells me where to step? I'm lost. No map, no compass My life has no direction I'm useless

I'm currently stuck at level 44. Some riddles have been *really* bad, but most of them were really enjoyable. I truely hated level 43, was stuck on it for days and the answer was just infront of my eyes :lol:

I have huge respect towards Kirk Hammett from Metallica. He did awesome guitar solos in the past and such. IMO he's better than all these lightning fast dudes like Yngwie Malmsten. It's impossible to say whose "truely" better as their styles to play are so different, so we can only say our own thoughts. Cliff Burton was the only bass guitarist who really impressed me. After it I haven't heard anything even close to it. Burton was in Metallica for the couple first album, but he died in 1986. For drums it's harder to say who is the best. I like Lombardo (Slayer), J̮̦̉̉rg Michaels (Stratovarius) and Horgh (Immortal. But like I said, it's really hard for me to decide who is the best.

Yea they aren't needed, but at least I take every help from creatine I can get. It isn't that expensive and you can see the difference. Totally worth every penny IMO. Yes, creatine stores water to the muscles. It makes them look bigger, but the real reason for the water is the extra power you get from it. Some steroids work the same way, gather water. Let's keep this topic clean from steroids, tho. Those muscle stimulators aren't that great. It's true that the muscle doesn't know if it's being trained with weights or machines, but you can't get the same "feeling" (don't know english word for it, hope you got my point) with those stimulators. Anyways, there are no easy paths to chooce in weight lifting. You gotta eat , sleep and train well. If one of those 3 isn't in condition, you won't get the maximum advantaces from the train. For powerlifters the food part isn't as important as it is to bodybuilders, but still, maybe you should have a look at the amount of protein you get in daily basis. Protein shakes aren't really expensive and they can give you a nice extra amount of protein. It's way easier to get like 30g extra protein from a shake than from "normal" food. OF course those shakes aren't needed to become big and strong, but they can help a lot. Remember that they are only to help you to get enough of protein, not being the only protein source. Remember that usually people think they eat a lot, but when they start counting, they eat max like 2000 calores/day and spend like the same. No wonder they don't grow big :P Personally I would go with whey protein as an extra source of protein. Soya has a bit of estrogenes which aren't great for men. The amounts are small, but I'd rather still avoid them. Also my stomach doesn't like really much soya.

Des was like the only pb who was able to catch. After he went for plate (31 mage) his downfall started and he for some reason started acing.

Rainbowrudolph was pretty awesome

A S H L E Y was nothing but stats. She couldn't catch a cold or anything. If she didn't have a team, she was nothing. Also phuzi0n13x, listing Zonghui to number one spot on "best pures" thread is like saying that Mel Gibson is the best looking female actress.

I was helping my mate to get 99 smithing. I sold my rares (worth tens of millions) and bought steel bars and nature runes which I donated to him (let's keep him anonymous). We had a deal that he'll pay me back after he is 99. Well, he quit at lvl 94 (rsc time, now he is 94 in both versions unless he is already reseted in rsc) and I basically lost tens of millions on nothing. Haven't been in touch with him later, even tho I have him added at msn still. I have lost 2 party hats in stakes, yellow and red. I lost my yellow on my tankmage (like 1 50 9 stats or so in those days) to some lvl 65-70(?) who tricked me by taking a staff too. The bells should have rang when it was him who actually wanted to stake mage on. The red (which was more valuable to me) was a bit funny. I staked it to some lvl 70, I was lvl 107 or so. I won like 8 stakes in a row, everytime at least a rune kite. The last one was a bad stake for me; I first hit him to like 10hp while I had full hp. Then suddenly I started to hit 0s and he hit 5s or so. I ended up duying, he was redlined. Man I hated that feeling, losing a phat to over 30 levels lower and like that... In 2002 we (me and few really good mates) found a clan called Finlanders. It turned into the best finnish clan ever (percentually there has never been as many high lvl finns in same clan after that) but for some reason we let it die. I have many times wondered why, we did very well, no argues between leaders (we had 1 real leader, but many others had a lot of power in that clan) or anything. One day we just decided that this clan has been here enough. Now when looking at the clan, it was awesome. We would have many high combat and high skill total users and we probably would have grown a lot. When rs2 came out, I was a bit childish and cried that Jagex has backstabbed rsc. I left my bank to rsc and kept training there for a long time. Now I regret it. I have still a lot of rares even tho I gave a lot away (read the first chapter) in rsc, I have 99 magic there and I have still quite a lot items. If I could chose again, I would have turned into rs2 immediately. And if some messages me that he is willing to trade my rsc items to rs2 items, you'll get reported to tip.it mods immediately :P When I was going for 99 magic (this was before rs2 came out) I was about to do it with law runes; grab natures and then high alc. I bought over 12k law runes in rsc, every rune was worth 1k. I even sold one phat for them. I grabbed like 5k and got really bored. I managed to sell few thousand law runes to someone just before rs2 came and I actually got pretty nice money for them. At the moment I still have over 2k law runes in rsc and no1 is interested in them. If someone was, I'd still lose a lot of money compared to what I spent on them. When kalphite queen and dragon chains came out, I went to hunt them immediately. I got a chain and sold it for 20 mils, really good price for those days. The price dropped really fast, but then Jagex did something bad. They made kq harder and chain prices rose a lot. I could have gotten 10mils more if I had kept it for few weeks. When my p2p last time was about to end, I sold basically every p2p item I had. I wanted to get rid of them, no matter for what price. I could have gotten A LOT more if I didn't almost give away (the prices on pots were so low that I lost a lot of money compared to buying herbs) or I high alced them. If I didn't do that, I'd have over 200 super sets and like 400 prayer pots now.

I have my own pet rock in my bank (or atm in my inventory :P ), straight from that guest where you had to sell it to the troll or something. In rsc I have a burnt turtle in my bank. I just love weird pets :P
