So why are nerd girls cute and wantable while nerd boys are just...nerdy?

The world is unfair.

That would be fun...if it hadn't been beaten to death by the cellphone program retailer jamster/jamba in endless commercials with an annoying narrator on TV. Anything they touch turns to shit, this included.

"Hopefully, that “perticular” site will have a spellchecker."

Yes, because being a grammar nazi is more important than reading the actually message. Oh no, whatever will I do? I put an 'e' where an 'a' was supposed to be, ritual suicide is the only logical outcome!

*shrug* I have an old bill from Germany, 500,000,000 Deutschmark (500 million). Ten million is peanuts.

...and also, the myth isn't "Elephants are afraid of rabbits/cats/shrimp/beetles/etc", though they could indeed have tested other kinds of mice, as well as plastic mice, and other kinds of deployment.

No they didn't try it with other critters. And for all of you who says it was probably because of the dung moving I have to repeat what has already been said: They did a test with just the dung and the elephant did not react. So much for that theory. They did it again with the mouse however and the elephant reacted the same again, so it's obvious the elephant was reacting to the mouse and not the dung.

As to why, that's anyone's guess. They did not however confirm the myth that elephants are afraid of mice, they simply called it plausible, which is not stretching it too far I think, no matter of how unscientific it may be.

Wait...why is there a statue of Grace Jones in the foreground?

...and to read mine you have to be a genius. I guess that is what's required to understand the ramblings of an idiot.

Word! They've even noticed that some breeds can sense a heart attack before even the owner can (has something to do with smell if I remember correctly). So it's not strange that the dogs didn't react much when the owner was faking it. Now, if they had some way of inducing a heart attack in the owner the story might've been different.

I do think most dogs (not all) are able to recognize immediate danger and play, in any case much better than what most people can.

It may say "bad fart" to the english speakers, though it's not pronounced as "bad fart" :P

There's more fun to be had in Fucking, Austria or Petting, Germany. I would not go to Puke, Albania though, unless that's your thing.

That's not so bad at all. I think the endless office landscapes with five feet tall cubicle walls are by far worse. No privacy, no space that you can feel is your own, just crap. In comparison I'd love to work in a place boxed in to such a degree. Privacy is worth gold in an office environment.

^word! Couldn't have said it better myself.

I recently got a first hand look into the whole mortuary/undertaker business when my father died. It's quite a facinating business though, and all respect to the people who perform those services.

It's never to early to learn about the disappointments in life. That way you can grow up and become a cynical realist, it's the right thing and you know it!

Considering that each ear tip on every one of those persons look exactly the same there's no way that that isn't a Photoshop edit. Skilled surgeons (legitimate or not) can do amazing things with ear pointing, but having four people heal exactly the same is impossible.

I'm not saying that he is right, but consider for a moment that he is. Are we as a society ready to accept the possible rammifications of that? I think not.
