In "Take the lesson from the Schiavo case."

I would really have to see her personally to get an opinion on the case. I keep hearing "Persistant Vegetative State" Thrown around, but yet in videos she seems responsive somewhat to her parents.

In "Bush smokes bush! "

Wasn't there some hub-bub a while ago about possible cocaine usage too?

In ""

Same experience also, I had a D in 2 classes. Just make sure you pass them, and you should be fine, I dont think your high school has any right whatsoever to send your grades with out your expressed written consent. just make sure the college doesnt ask :) oh and I'm in college now. up at 5 in the morning, playing world of warcraft **slams head on desk**

In "My soul feels so violated"

I used this song(99 red balloons) for a presentation for psychology class about music and how it's percieved. Out of a quick poll of 30 peers, I found that all 30 of them have heard some sort of cover of this song, but only 3 have of them knew the original song was in german, and 15 of them thoguht it was drug related(red balloons = red pills?) Just interesting how a catchy jingle must imply a good thought. anyways.....That song has to be one of the most covered songs of all time..... a good site keeps track of them all. if I were nena, i'd be pissed.

In "Form help? C'mon monkeys..."

Hrm, I got hired by a company over the summer to do a web-based application front-ended with php and backended with mysql, im sure i could help but I need details 1. is this purely an access application 2. if not what other apps are you using

In "Interesting piece on 60 Minutes tonight."

wow, that's almost as deadly as that damned Dihydrogen Monoxide

In "News Flash!!"

Wasn't there a huge ruckus about this not to long ago?

In "Salvia divinorum"

let me clear that up, what's the legality on SD

hehe, my friends tried smoking shrooms once, they said the only thing they got off of it was a horrible taste in there mouth for 2 days. Also, what's the legality in the states, I purchased it online and had it shipped to my college...

Man, I smoked this stuff before, a few times actually. For some reason I couldn't break the feeling that I was getting into my mom's Spice Rack and smoking it. Anywho, sure didn't give me a buzz at all. Don't waste your money on it.

In "The Power Nap Pillow."

I have no problem falling asleep at work, oh wait, that's because I work a university help desk and don't sleep at night anymore because of that evviiiillll game world of warcraft.

In "<b>Delerious George</b>...songs that make it summer "

Anything 311 I always say, seeing as how driving on the beaches of the outer banks with my jeep's ragtop down looking for a surf break seems to be my summer, all whilst listening to 311. But one song in particular: "Down south". I love it!

In "Half-Life 2"

Well, if you created a game that was 40 million dollars and 5 years in the making, and its prequel is one of the most pirated/hacked online games of all time, I think you'd put in certain measures to make sure no one enjoys it without buying it first, although I dont necessarily agree with the purely online activation(they need a phone number, like the evil empire) it definently is going to be around for a long time. but it's a sweet game. I remember talking to one person in-game up close, the models are so life like. it's kinda freaky.

In "OOOK, so who wants to put this live-wire to their forehead?"

I had a room mate that took one of those fake tv remotes that shock the hell out of you and applied to his forehead. needless to say, he wasn't smarter afterwards. just dumber for doing it.

In "Curious George: New Cat"

Well, I have 2 indoor cats. Both Declawed/Spayed. The declawing is had it's benefits(no messed up furniture, messed up hands...etc..) and of course it's downside(no natural defense). Which is ok if you keep them inside. if you let them out I'd suggest not getting them declawed. Other cats will be attracted to them. I know from personal experience, I've had my cats spooked many a time by a stray at our back sliding glass door. Let me tell you, the growl they let out sounds like a mountain lion! anywho, if you get boy cats and you don't neuter them they WILL mark their territory, indoor or out. if you dont spay female cats it will definantly attract more strays, you'll have a chorus of singing cats parked outside your house expressing their love. as for the outdoor issue, we have a fully fenced in backyard, so on days when we're outside we let them wander around under our supervision and they seem to like it. that's all I can say! good luck!

In "THE BIG FAT THREAD FOR THE ELECTIONS"

This is very discouraging for me. Being the first presidential election I've ever voted in(I'm 20, so I couldnt vote last time), I feel as if the system has failed me. I will go to sleep tonight wondering if when I wake up I will learn that the system has failed us, If That everything about this great country I learned about in 7th grade social studies is a complete lie, If the so called greatest country in the world is full of deceptions and lies. Yeah I know I'm young and probably not the keeness when it comes to shady politics, but I still have some ounce of hope that I'll wake up and realize that this is all a nightmare. Good night Monkeys everywhere.

Anyone know if there's a chance of a tie at this point?

In "Curious George: A Windows Virgin"

I would third the comment of going with 2000 namely because 98se will soon be unsupported which means you won't get any windows updates for it. And 2000 just runs smoother. Firefox is a great idea too. You could do what I did with my girlfriend's laptop and replace all the IE shortcuts with paths to Firefox so she barely notices the difference and doesn't really care as long as it works.

In "Curious George-Movie"

Ha, I DID see a fist fight once. I forget what movie it was, but basically these kids, little ones, were dancing right underneath the screen. The usher repeatedly told them to sit down, but being 5, who listens? whoever they were with ended up talking trash to the usher and punched him. The usher scurried away. Next thing you know, lights come on, film stops, cops roll in....end of story.

In "Curious George: iPod = Airline Doom?"
