I thought the healing stuff they use in Star Wars is kolto? As in kolto tanks? At least that's what they call it in Knights of the Old Republic... maybe they changed it from the films for some reason.
It reminds me more of the stuff they use in Trauma Centre! You just whack a load of it on and it CURES EVERYTHING! I knew they were going to invent something like this eventually!

Untruth, I think we are patriotic in our own way. Not in the "LONG LIVE ENGLAND!" and "THE QUEEN FTW!" way most people would think, but a sort of national pride in the small things, like Marmite, David Beckham and the terrible weather. And yes, we complain constantly, but if everything was perfect I could guaratee you that we'd still be complaining. Also, I really don't think patriotism refers to the government, but more to the country as a whole. I think most people worldwide dislike their government. I'm sure half of America doesn't like how their country is run, but overall there is a strong feeling of national pride there.
I completely agree with this article. And just because there are bad points doesn't mean you should be put off from visiting here. I think our country is a great place to visit, even if you live here. To be honest, if you believed everything you read about a country, then I'm sure most people would never even leave their homes. You have to experience things for yourself.

I never thought that a black guy could sing enka better than the Japanese themselves! His voice sounds suprisingly good, and it seems to go together with the Japanese language really well!
It just goes to show, you shouldn't make assumptions based on first appearances! When I saw this post, I just thought "Oh dear", but I was really wrong!
Kudos to Jero for breaking the mould!

I love it! My favourite article is definitely " My Little Pony is a lesbian-feminist separatist colony". I've got the stage of watching cartoons where I still enjoy watching them but I'm looking for more deeper meaning behind them, and trying to imagine how it fits into the adult world. Of course, 90% of everything has absolutely no point whatsoever, but that just makes it more fun.
It reminds me of when my English class was asked to write a short essay on a love poem and I wrote all about "The Owl and the Pussycat", how it signifies the classic example of love overcoming boundaries (in this case species, which could be further used to represent race) and how they are shunned by soceity (they sail away for a year and a day) and in the end true love overcomes. It was a bit more in depth and mentioned something about the significance of the mince and slices of quince, but that is the essence. I think I got an A* and the headteacher congratulated me personally. ^_^ Just goes to show, sometimes it pays to think differently.

This so cool! The most interesting thing I've found in my garden is a paperweight carved with patterns (probably manufactured). But a couple of streets down they found some students who went missing twenty years ago in a family's garden...
I know it's really morbid but I find stuff like that really interesting.
But at the moment I'm reading Bone Garden by Tess Gerritsen and this is creepily similar... O_O

They've had it over here for ages. Trust the English to have silly poop toys.
It doesn't cost that much here, only about £2 ($4) from Hawkin's Bazaar at Christmas (at least the miniature one). I think it's pretty harmless as gifts go.
I have a sheep that baa's when you press it and a Santa as well. The Santa is a bit weird, I'll grant you that. Also the jelly beans don't taste all that great (perhaps I shouldn't have expected them to...)

It's PRISON it's not meant to be nice! Why should he get special treatment just because he's a lardass?
People can survive on that much a day, probably even less, healthily. So what if he's losing weight at an unhealthy rate? He should have thought about that before he went and killed someone.
Prisons are way too nice now. Some of the prisons I've seen are nicer than my house! They even get playstation and TVs in their cells, entertainment shows, music lessons, and whenever they fall sick they get a doctor immediately! I think only the basic things needed to survive should be given, and all the inmates can just deal without the rest.

Aw this really cheered me up! I've been feeling kind of depressed today and these laughing babies put a smile on my face ^_^
I love how babies laugh. I used to have a recording of my baby cousin being tickled as my ringtone on my phone, so everytime someone called me I'd hear his little voice laughing at me.
But I can't help thinking that with the four babies, it's four times as cute when they all laugh, but how bad would it be if they all cried?

Would be fun to take on a rollercoaster or bungee jumping or similar, just to see how high you can actually get it to go!

We kind of DO eat cranberry sauce from a can, but it doesn't look like that!
The cranberry sauce I have in my fridge is in a jar like jam, and causes great confusion when I actually think it IS jam (jelly to you Americans). Also what's with the jelly (Jell-o... ack this is confusing)? Doesn't it come in cubes and you add hot water to it?
If not then there is something WRONG with the universe. That's the whole point of having jelly!

"Limited access" letterhead?
It's so easy to duplicate a letterhead, just scan it into the computer (assuming that they have received letters from the school before)! I've done it before (although I found out later I didn't need to, the letterhead is saved to the school network where anyone can access it but most people are too stupid to realise where it is).

Arg, I hate these things.
They've got one of these outside my local McDonalds. I used to go there reasonably often, about once a week or so, but after they've installed this I can't even go near the place. It's very painful, especially when it's just one long sound rather than a beeping noise. It gives some of my friends bad headaches just to walk past it (there's about a twenty foot radius around it where you can hear the sound). And you can even hear it inside!
It seems that the companies are trying to drive away their customers! I understand that a very small minority of teenagers want to cause trouble, but what about the much greater majority who are paying customers? Why should we have to suffer?

I think you mean inhumane treatment.
And this is kind of a rip-off of the Onion.

It looks like a really good quality organ. The only ones I've ever played are usually of the kind you get playing in town halls at tea dances i.e. terrible.
Also what was up with her outfit? Trust the Japanese.

Okay I've never watched a single episode of Star Trek but I know what a Bat'leth is.
What is wrong with me?
Also I know what Qapla means!??!?
This is some kind of conspiracy I'm sure. I think there is a hidden law of physics that every nerd in existence must know something about Star Trek. I must have some kind of Star Trek absorption power.
