    Today...

    Ugh, my mom's cousin was the same when I was little. She would just show up for dinner and sleep in my bed, forcing me to the couch. Then she would always ask "How did you sleep?" but gave off the feeling that she didn't give a [#]. My dad would always get angry at my bro and I whenever she was around, and just stressed out family out. Anyways, since I was young, I said: "you ruin everything" which must have been CRAZILY heartbreaking for her, and she never came back after that. She also got my mom to start smoking again, and in retrospect I don't regret my comment at all. \
  2. #-o Guys, the definition for scientific theories are different from the one you're thinking of right now. In your mind, theory = hypothesis. :shame: SCIENTIFIC theories are supported by FACTS and thousands of hours of research. In scientific language, facts are pocket change while theories, which consist of entire sack of facts, are the 100 dolla bills. Vocabulary in this debate is pretty important.
  3. Just buy a jug/tub/mug of protein shake powder and add milk or water. They also (Pro-Whey) come in individual plastic "gatorade" bottles so you can drink as you work out.
  4. With a diet like that, you're lucky not to be overweight. Obviously you have a very high metabolism, and if you want to gain weight just by massive eating would take a long time and would have severe consequences. I also had trouble gaining weight because at first I just tried eating unhealthy foods, but I gave up early and started training instead, drinking a lot of protein shakes (like Pro-Whey). You'll not only gain weight the healthy way, you'll look good :thumbsup: Also, the effects (if you stick to simple weight lifts) are pretty fast.
  5. Did you know we share 50% of our genes with bananas? Obviously God had something to do with this abomination!!
  6. ...which was that a man would not be judged by the colour of his skin but by the content of his character, and that's exactly what has happened. Reading through these replies, I honestly feel like i'm posting in a troll thread. Sadly, you guys are being serious, and it makes me cry :cry:
  7. If you knew anything about anything, you'd realize it was the Chief Justice who messed it up, and Obama stopped for a few seconds, once at the beginning on that mucked up section and once at the actual part where the Chief messed up to let him correct himself.
  8. You really had to bring that up, did you. :? If that baby had a gun this would never have happened. If weed was legalized this would never have happened. Anyways, on a more serious note, a baby was found in the laundry basket at the hospital where my bro and I were delivered.
  9. You guys are upset because the media is over hyping something... i'll just let you think about that for awhile :|
  10. My doodling is also excessive. It makes revising for final exams fun, remembering the story behind each doodle (other people in the class contribute, too). Whenever friends leave me alone on their computer I always make something stupid in paint, and the next time I visit it's usually their desktop background 8-)
  11. Me and two friends all have friday afternoons off our schedules (we finish at noon) so i'll be boarding every friday 'til the snows gone :thumbsup:
  12. Wow, seriously? I'm trying to get into architecture school at McGill university and I could use some advice on the matter.
  13. THE SITUATION Terrorists have infected the world's supply of bottled water with a poison that turns the drinker undead, a zombie. Researchers at Tip.It headquarters (Las Vegas, Nevada) are working on a cure to the epidemic, and they need your help. Your best chance is to travel with a friend, because these zombies have a knack for sneaking up to people sleeping. RULES: -You cannot have any superpowers. This is a reality game, so the abilities of your character in the story cannot surpass your real life abilities (I know you can't fly a jet plan, dude) -You must only use real weapons, ray guns sadly don't exist yet -There is no other cure to the infection, and Tip.It headquarters is the ONLY well established anti-zombie zone -Since lots of people live far away from headquarters, I think it would be fair to establish that you are allowed saying "I get on a boat and 2 weeks later..." MAIN RULE: You are only allowed contributing 2 phrases per post, no double posting. The goal is to make this thing sound like a novel. I'll start: After hearing the news of the infection, I quickly e-mail the entire Tip.It user list and urge them to make their way to headquarters. I kiss my parents and brother, avoid their infectious bite and head out the door, with my metal baseball bat.
  14. i mostly curse and swear when i walk, it's waaaay too cold up here to think anything rational
  15. My only problem with people who are devoted to God is that I don't understand their motives. Obviously God can be real or not, but who cares? Do you really gain that much from your faith to keep praying? Any emotions evoked by preaching to an invisible omnipresent being can be found somewhere here on Earth, reality. Instead of humans praying to Poseidon to help with their sea voyages, we now build huge ships that tower over the tallest waves. Maybe soon we will stop praying to some dude and take some more happy pills, I dunno. Maybe it's because that i'm such an "anti-philosopher" that I just don't see the point in believing in God. If you can't cope without the guy, adapt you lifestyle or something, get help. Some people may argue that if believing in God helps you sleep at night then there's no harm in it, but I strongly believe that people should just deal with their reality. Now you're thinking that I'm all against Faith and stuff. n-no. It's just that instead of wasting all your faith on someone who doesn't even listen or talk back (which is the main reason why believing in God is so detrimental), I invest mine in friends and family. They always have the answers to my tough lifechanging questions, and if you don't have super fantastic friends like me, get off your knees and make some friends, man.
  16. Hahaha, I would do the same thing until one day my friend told me that the plate trader in varrock bought plates for more. I was ecstatic. My most prominent memory from rsc was how freaking beautiful rune bars were. I would dream about them at night, but for some reason I was eating them? I also remember picking up a r2h in the wildy, and going crazy with my friends when we discovered it was worth millions (it was a crazy slumber party, that night). So I kept it for awhile, got bored of the game, came back and there were worth 100k :(
  17. If the airplane wasn't PERFECTLY parallel to the river, say one wing was slightly higher up than the other, the airplane would have easily gone into a cartwheel at that speed. That pilot must have been cool as a cucumber at the time, major high five to him and the crew :thumbup:
  18. Make better ones. The guards should have kept an EYE on him. He'd better keep an EYE out. Can he SEE clearly now the rain is gone? I wonder if he'll WATCH the AFC and NFC games coming up. *gouges both eyes out*
  19. I'm going to recommend East of Eden by John Steinbeck, but only because I liked it. It's hard to tell what someone's tastes are when they only post 1 book they've read, especially when it was only read for a school project. I last read the 3rd volume of The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy, i'm currently working on #4&5. I also enjoyed "The Time Machine did it" by John Swartzwelder, because I like comedy writing.
  20. To me, life is a mix of personal improvements (knowledge, physical strength, education ect.) and a bunch of social events. When I look back at my life (and it happens more often than i'm comfortable with) I'm always reminded of "that summer when I learned photoshop" or "that holiday when I partied all the time". However, between all those moments that make up my life, there's a huge blur of uneventful months, filled with TV and computers. It's a huge waste of time, and if I don't do something about it then my life is indeed going to be way too short.
  21. Painkillers for the four gaping holes in my mouth
  22. Setting myself long term goals will just lead to disappointment. Ideas of grandeur don't help either
  23. It's always the day before, and usually only for finals. Unit tests (3 per semester) are pretty straight forward for me, since I take notes and pay attention in class. For an entire month I chatted it up with a girl in my math class and my grade fell a good 40% in that unit exam. Then, for finals, I get pretty hardcore. I remember staying up all night going over the entire gen. bio.1course, which is around 45 hours of lectures. I got 90% on that final, but it takes so much willpower not to go to bed and forget about all that junk that I don't think i'll ever be doing that again. For (general) physics (not engineering), I honestly don't see the need for studying. The give you a formula sheet, all I have to do is concentrate a lot and I can figure out what they're trying to say in the question, the challenge I'll have to overcome and the lesson I would have learned from the question. If you can get in the mindset if your teachers, exams are pretty easy. I can see myself not showing up for lectures and still pass the final, but i'm not one to skip classes :-#
  24. I put my left leg under my right, but my right leg is resting on my desk so there's no pressure on my left foot. I have my right calf on the corner of my desk, so my knees are fine.
