@SamBarge, Yikes! Those kids must be my long lost younger sisters. I always knew they were around in the world somewhere.

Pedal powered headlights do work, actually. My bike has one and I don't even have to go super fast for it to work. Part of Indian subcontinent my parents are from, it's actually pretty common for people to have pedal powered headlights on bicycles.

I actually followed similar advice to be more accepted by the "in-crowd" at school. I would read up on the moves/music (I hated boy bands and went to school when they were at a peak) every day from the newspaper so I could appear all knowledgeable about it. And then I went to college and just found friends of a…

Hey just because they were pure-bloods and all-round jerks to Sirius does not mean they were all chauvinists as well, does it? I mean, given that Bellatrix AND Andromeda both turned out very strong (in, um, different ways of course...), I'd say the Blacks were not into repression of women shitz.

Oh so for marriages (or hetero marriages, at least, in those states where other types of marriages are not allowed) you can just walk in and say "My spouse's last name is Einstein, so I want to change mine to Einstein too, please" and it works?

I'm sure people can just turn up in court in the US and get a change of first name— I've heard someone do it. But could one not just change last names too without marriage or whatever? I mean, plenty of people might want a more Anglicized last name or have to spelt different, could they not just go to court and have a…

And that, ladies and gentlemen and young lads and lasses and pet doggies and kitties and tigers that be reading this, is precisely why my 10 year old cousin has a facebook profile in his name. (He never accesses it, he's too busy trying to play football and watch all the Gunners' matches to bother with IT Girl or…

You are a person after my heart. My favourite vegetable is broccoli. And has been ever since I was a kiddo.

Can everyone see your profile picture when you email them? Or is it just people who are added to your GChat (which I guess used to be the case before). I hardly think my professors would enjoy seeing any kind of picture with everyone of my emails, so I will remove it if they can see it.

Totally off-topic, but my best friend is Bulgarian! (She's from Sophia) I am totally excited every time I meet a Bulgarian :D She just says she's Cyrillic.

As far as meds are concerned, Walgreens Dramamine definitely does not work as well as the brand name one, for motion sickness. And not just for me, too. I used to live in a country where I didn't use dramamine and then I came to the US and used Walgreens dramamine first and it didn't work and then switched to the real…

I actually do like the new look, except for the fact that they took away custom themes. That's annoying as hell.

I actually had to look up what "smize" meant. I'm not exactly the most pop-culture aware person (heck, Sailor Moon is my definition of quality tv) so of course I've never even seen a single episode of ANTM (I decoded that all by my lonesome :P ) But that you for educating me!

The many advantage of college dorms, hehe. There is ALWAYS at least one person who has been cooking/baking recently. But yes, I guess it's not actually such an easy thing for non-college goers.

It's funny isn't it, that smiling with your eyes is supposed to be such a good thing but the results of smiling with your eyes is not?

Oh my goodness, that's me too. All my life, I was the "brainy sister" (my sister's as smart as me, though, she's just really pretty too) and then I go to a Ivy League college which just cements the "brainy sister" thing back home, and even though I keep trying to tell myself that it's okay and I'm great and people…

If the oven was used recently, then just put it in the oven and that's it.

Oh man, I some of the coolest sisters (I never liked calling them nuns -_-) I've met are from the order of St. Joseph of Cluny!

Could lifehacker have the whole posts in Google Reader, instead of just a snippet? Or is there a way to get the whole post in GReader and I don't known about it (would not be surprised...I'm a noob)?
