So they already had the million...likes had nothing to do with how much they could donate? Why did they need people to like them on facebook to do a good deed?

And how, pray tell, do you get arty wallpapers for your iPad, Leslie? If there is an easier way, I would certainly like to know. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to France so I can have the Mona Lisa as my iPad wallpaper.

I don't think they look as shitty as you think they do. Here's what they look like when the residue has been blown off.

I don't think I understand. How do you define free-fall? I've tried looking it up, but nothing seems to specify a lack of vacuum as a necessity to the definition.

I get really bad motion sickness when I'm a passenger in a car and with some first person video games.
