It sounds like OP doesn't want to work out or anything, just gain weight (read: get fat). He hasn't really expressed any interest in eating healthy and exercising to gain muscle, just in gaining weight. Meh, maybe I'm the only one who took his post to mean that. :?

A piercing is no more permanent than shaving your head. You might regret it for a while, but, soon enough, your hair grows back and you know not to shave your head again. He can take out the piercing and the hole will close up. And to those saying he's never going to get a job; he's 16. Really the only jobs that he'll be getting is in fast food/grocery stores/etc. and I know plenty of people with tongue/nose piercings that work.

This is kind of a moot point, but if you're serious about this vow, don't eat the chicken. I'm sure your parents are reasonable enough that if you told them why you didn't want to eat, then they would try to respect your beliefs. But saying you're against KFC's stance on animal cruelty then asking for another drumstick doesn't really make you seem like you're serious.

Heh, my friends and I did that last year to a bunch of computers in the library. We spent a 40 min period just going through the auto-correct dictionary and replacing things with '2008 ftw' 'Class of 2008' etc. It really pissed off the librarian. :lol:

Win. :lol:

You could try and switch off the wireless switch. Depending on your OS it might use the wireless connection first. (when I'm at my desk on my laptop the wireless is switched off for ethernet). I tried this, and (so far) I haven't had any problems; hopefully it was that simple. I'll post again if this problem arises. Thanks for your help. :

I would say that qualifies as a crash. Just because everyone in a 10 mile radius didn't die in a fiery explosion doesn't mean it wasn't a crash. :roll:

No, I use an ethernet while I'm at my desk, but the little wireless switch I have is on. Could that possible 'confuse' the connection? And I don't know any non java based online games I could use to test, sorry. :?

Every so often when I'm playing runescape, it'll just stop responding for about 10 secs and then I'll be back to the log in screen. Usually this happens within a couple minutes of logging in, but sometimes I'll have been playing for a while and it'll happen. Also, sometimes I'll be playing a game at pogo.com and the game will freeze, close, and this page will load (for the first time, though, this page loaded today). I know that I'm not simply disconnecting in any of these situations because I have irc open and it'll stay connected. I unchecked the boxes for both the wireless and networking controller that allowed them to turn off to conserve power. I've tried simply restarting my computer but these problems still arise. If I try to 'Diagnose and Repair' my network connection, no problems are found, but sometimes it gives me the option to reset the adapter (which I do) and that seems to help for a while. Edit: BTW, I'm using an HP laptop that's like 5 months old.

I would guess because so many things went wrong (none of which where the carriers fault) and things still turned out very well. A plane crashes into a river and the worst injury is two broken legs? That says a lot about the planes and the people flying them. Airplanes are already incredibly safe, but this made them seem god-like.

Heh, I saw this a while ago, it's still pretty awesome though. I'll have to figure out some way to work this into my religion class. :P

http://www.break.com/index/japanese-hum ... tml?mrr=we It's in Japanese, so I'm not exactly sure what's going on, but it's really funny. :

That is one hell of a bellyflop.

Maybe there's an entire civilization. And they sent astronauts to Earth to found NASA and study us. *Twilight Zone music*

I wonder if it was still kinda connected so he could feel his eye getting eaten? :shock:

Heh, glad I'm not the only one who thought this. It sounds like a line from a movie or something. Kinda makes me wonder what went through the parents' heads, though. son: I have a surprise for you. dad(thinking): OOO! I hope it's muffins! Golly, I love muffins. *gunshots* dad(thinking): This is a terrible muffin. :(

He's over 340 lbs. There's a difference between being a little hefty and being morbidly obese. The former may be because of genetics or snacking a bit too much. The latter is entirely their fault. They aren't being denied a child because they're black or something like that; they're being denied because someone that overweight can't properly care for a child. As star_in_the_sky said, this is very similar to a black person playing the race card when they're in trouble.

I definitely want to live in a big city, but I'm torn between NYC or somewhere in California. I spent about a month in Cali over the summer and I absolutely loved it; depending on how things work out I might live out there with my brother. For a long time, I've also wanted to live (or at least take an extended vacation) in England, although I'm not dead set on it like I used to be.

Errdoth said everything that needed to be said. Windows machines can do anything a Mac can do and they're customizable to hell. Macs are outrageously priced and, imo, becoming outdated. Really the only reason people buy them is because they're more aesthetically pleasing than most Windows machines. So if you want something that'll sit there and look pretty; buy a Mac. If you want a computer that'll do... anything else; buy Windows.

It's not terrible to not know; in fact, I'm kind of enjoying it. Most freshmen in college are undeclared and you really don't need to figure anything out until sophomore/junior year. Even after graduating, employers really don't care what field your degree's in (bar a few professions), they just want you to have one. Just relax; it's not as stressful as you're making it. ;) Anyway... My resolution is to whatever I need to do to increase my awesomeness. 8-)

We have one teacher that's really young, and good looking. She's only 21 or 22, I think. I thought she was 15, she's little. I was talking to her and was intending to ask her out, until I was told she was a teacher. I thought it was funny when my friends told me. Junior year we had a student teacher for History for a couple of months and she was pretty young and really pretty, but her chest was absolutely massive. Her boobs were seriously the size of cantalopes. I don't think any guys slept through the class when she was teaching it. :lol:

Gnomes, man. Gnomes.

So go feed the child in the bathroom and the dinner table is where your meant to get your food? I meant, do it discretely, somewhere, not at the table. So a mother should leave her husband and (possibly) other children to feed her youngest just because some random stranger is staring and making themselves feel uncomfortable? And, honestly, which is easier to ignore: a screaming baby or a breastfeeding mother?

There's a reason they can give away tens or hundreds of millions of dollars; the house always wins. I never play the lottery because if I'm gonna throw my money away like that, I might as well go to a casino and have some fun. Eh, to each his own. :|

No, it's thousands of years of wearing cloth. Start with a cage containing five monkeys. Inside the cage, hang a banana on a string and place a set of stairs under it. Before long, a monkey will go to the stairs and start to climb towards the banana. As soon as he touches the stairs, spray all of the other monkeys with cold water. After a while, another monkey makes an attempt with the same result -- all the other monkeys are sprayed with cold water. Pretty soon, when another monkey tries to climb the stairs, the other monkeys will try to prevent it. Now, put away the cold water. Remove one monkey from the cage and replace it with a new one. The new monkey sees the banana and wants to climb the stairs. To his surprise and horror, all of the other monkeys attack him. After another attempt and attack, he knows that if he tries to climb the stairs, he will be assaulted. Next, remove another of the original five monkeys and replace it with a new one. The newcomer goes to the stairs and is attacked. The previous newcomer takes part in the punishment with enthusiasm! Likewise, replace a third original monkey with a new one, then a fourth, then the fifth. Every time the newest monkey takes to the stairs, he is attacked. Most of the monkeys that are beating him have no idea why they were not permitted to climb the stairs or why they are participating in the beating of the newest monkey. After replacing all the original monkeys, none of the remaining monkeys have ever been sprayed with cold water. Nevertheless, no monkey ever again approaches the stairs to try for the banana. Why not? Because as far as they know that's the way it's always been done around here. Seriously, though, most likely wearing clothes started to protect the body from the cold/sun. [/hide] That's a really great example :shock: Did you just write it or is it a copypasta? Copypasta, thought it fit though. :P http://www.thealders.net/humour/work/wk49.html
