Yes, I believe that just happened lol :)

I can level with that.

My uncle is the owner of an insurance company...

A brain scan for neural activity isn't commonplace for someone who could be vegetative? Really?! Before you get a new computer, you check if it's the CPU or the monitor that's busted. Why on earth then wouldn't you check to see if it's somebody's brain or spine that's busted?!

Is it just me or was there no explanation of teeth sucking?

When you look at the image when it's small, it looks like DNA. Fitting for a science magazine. I was disappointed though when the big image didn't though :(

lol that would be hilarious. That definitely is one of the more noticeable annoyances of lefties: writing. I hate the smearing. I deliberately use as small a point as I can so that there's less ink/lead on the page to smear and mess up the rest of it.

Please say again? I just got over the whole "use scissors with your right hand" bit a long time ago. They are the only tool I use with my right hand (maybe it has something to do with my kindergarden teacher's assistant who hated me because of my lefthandedness and made me use my right hand instead; she's also the…

I'd have loved to have just said SSA and DHHS given my conservative nature, but things like this definitely put the DoD in there as well. But yes, you are right, the DHHS is definitely burning a lot of money it needn't.

I didn't know there was so much variability in the way brains were wired. I knew lefties had more connections, but I didn't realize we had such high odds of having things on the "wrong" side. Very interesting indeed.

I really really appreciate it when people actually think about things. Thank you. I was about to write something very similar, but it would have come out mostly as a rant, so thank you for saying it more peacefully than I would have.

Reasons why the US is broke:

We have significantly higher chances of being geniuses and psychotic among other things. At this point, it almost seems as if left handedness is actually a prenatal defect caused by some gene carried by the mother that impacts the development of her children. As an example, my brother and I are both left-handed yet…

I know that they do, I'm just saying that I think I'll want to get one the next time around.

I kind of want to get an external battery for these things... I mean, my contract doesn't end until next year, but I mean, unless battery power skyrockets soon, the phones will keep getting thinner, so eventually, by simply doubling the thickness of the phone (which won't be bad seeing as how thin the Droid RAZR will…

I don't know whether I want to dissect one or at the sight of one, run in the opposite direction...

I guess that is a valid point. I still think though that the whiteouts are going to be worse for the panels than lower altitude. But hey, if it works.

This isn't necessarily true. While being totally average is generally attractive, that isn't to say that there aren't hotter women out there, and as a guy, I'll definitely say that. As for the guy, I mean, he looks fine. He doesn't have anything I really envy though, so...

Have fun dealing with the 50 mph wind speeds that undo your work the moment you go to the next one. And the temperature... And the lack of air...

I still think you'll have problems with weather. Tibet would probably work though. It's still at high altitude and they don't have the winds or snow that the Himalayas do.
