@Malcontent79: Ooops. That wasn't a response to the party game name thing. Just me trying to find another word for a pm alert.

@Malcontent79: Ummm... plinko.

@Malcontent79: I have no idea. I just made it up.

@Malcontent79: Pang.

@Malcontent79: Ping.

@Arken: It's unofficial but yep. Here's the address: [webchat.irchighway.net]

@Malcontent79: Yesterday, in the IRC version of the o'deck, I said, "Oh Rexy, you're so sexy," and no one knew what I was talking about.

@Malcontent79: So are you actually thinking of coming up?

@brokennails: It's some thing they do; stealing eachother's wallet pizza. I don't get it.

I'll be sure to leave my wallet pizza at home if I ever figure out what that is.

@allergygal: Don't forget Peter, Astrid and Walter!

@Henry_Jekyll: Damnit. This is my exact response. Just when I start to love a show...

@kalaeth: Just teasing there, Kaal. Geez, you Portuguese can be so quick to temper.

@kalaeth: I think you just made up psefologia ;P

@Ghost in the Machine: Happy to oblige.

@Arafelis: Heheheheheh!

@Eldritch: Hehehehe.

@Edie Spencer: The study isn't saying that people with large social networks are more likely to be liberal. It's saying that there is a correlation between those that poses the novelty seeking gene and have a large social network in adolescence. It's not an "if then" claim.

@Mark 2000: It's not saying that everyone with a limited social network is conservative. The study is stating that those with the novelty seeking gene AND a large social network are PREDISPOSED to have a liberal political view.
