pooperson Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 [SIZE="1"][COLOR="RoyalBlue"]I'm sad because we don't have any crackers in the house. On a semi-unrelated note, my teeth hurt a lot. I decided it was a good idea to start wearing my retainer again at night to fix my teeth. I didn't consider the massive amounts of pain I would be feeling. Plus, it's orange, & I don't like that color anymore. Oh, I was also told today that my "singing & guitar playing is so horrible" that I could very well be "one of the greatest indie artists ever". I was only kind of offended.[/COLOR][/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Maul Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=1][COLOR=DimGray]A basic knowledge of how Google works is helpful. See, I searched for "scientific name for prostate cancer," and the first result stated: [quote name='Google][SIZE=2][COLOR=Black]It is being studied for its ability to delay or prevent recurrent [I]prostate cancer[/I]. The [I]scientific name[/I] is Punica granatum . ...[/COLOR'][/SIZE][/quote] If I were anyone else, I would be satisfied with "Punica granatum" as the scientific name for prostate cancer. I mean, the result yielded all the keywords I searched for, and it was the number one result, so it had to be it, right? However, being the clever lad that I am, I clicked on the link, and, believe it or not, read through the page. And guess what I found? Lo and behold, Punica granatum was not the scientific name for prostate cancer, but was, in fact, the scientific name for... you guessed it! Pomegranites. So as you can see, just by doing a little thing I like to refer to as "reading," I was able to skillfully deduce that the terms "Punica granatum," and "prostate cancer" are completely unrelated. Neat-o! PS: Medical term for cancer is "malignant neoplasm," and the medical term for prostate is "prostate."

Sabrina Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 [FONT="Tahoma"]I can't recall if I've ever tried that Gavin. Last time I had fish, it was Salmon. I had it baked with lemon pepper seasoning on it. It was really good. [/FONT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChibiHorsewoman Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 [color=#9933ff][font=monotype corsiva][size=4]Cod in general is just disgusting. Haddock... well they can keep that too. I like Salmon though you can't eat much of it when you're pregnant. I've had the oddest feeling lately that I'm gonna have twin boys.

SachiroUchiha Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 [quote name='James'] There aren't many rollercoasters in Australia, so I don't know how common this type of thing is.[/QUOTE] I live in Australia... It all depends where you are! I mean, the eastern states with Movieworld and all those theme parks are crazy. But if you live on the other side of Australia, such as Perth (like me) it's not so common. I've been to a few theme parks, and some of the rollercoasters are practically lethal, but most of them are really... not scary. Like, not scream-worthy at all. It's not that common i guess but it all depends where abouts in Australia you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sangome Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 [quote name='chibi-master']Sounds like a story to me! SPILL. NOW.[/QUOTE] [SIZE="1"]Short version of the story: I have a friend that is extremely pessimistic and negative about pretty much everything. I show concern for her, and she doesn't take my [or our mutual friend's] concern seriously at all. It's not healthy, and she knows it, but she has the "It hasn't killed me yet" mentality. Her parents are also concerned for her, but that too doesn't seem to faze her. She also basically undermined my intelligence by insinuating all I ever read is manga and I don't read anything without pictures in it, which is downright absurd since I've been a writer for about two years now. I think I can handle text without pictures just fine. So I'm just going to not talk to her for a couple of days while I cool down. And, believe it or not, this is the [i]least[/i] of my friend issues right now. Though that's a story for another day. On a totally unrelated note: Good grief it's as hot as blazes. I need new shorts.[/SIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I at least did that and put about twenty dollars and two loonies on one of my friends stuttering like the village idiot when her boyfriend pops her the question. Tell your friends that you want in on the betting pool since it's your body. Hmm wish I could do that. Or you could just tell them as nicely as possible: In this matter you should not concern yourself for my sake.[/color][/size][/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
