Full marks if you learned that from a Terry Pratchett book like I did. OT: Shrimps never give any money to charity... they're shellfish All of the 'x is legal in the state/town of y' facts are wrong. There is a hierarchy in legislation meaning that these are governed by State and Federal...

What you say may be true, but to be clear: Botox injections paralyse the flesh, but aren't a risk to the patient's health. Botox has resulted in 28 deaths between 1989 and 2003, but none were attributed to cosmetic use. The fact that it is toxic, is, in fact largely irrelevant, what is...

Well you shouldn't be talking about it.Heh. I'm a rock climber. I have to leave now to enter a comp actually

If you know that they're in a relationship then it's wrong. Almost as bad as cheating while in a relationship.

Glass should be stiffer and stronger than steel, but it's full of tiny cracks that make it brittle (Thank you, Griffith's theory of brittle fracture!).

No to both of your questions. I am however watching the Six Nations (Rugby, IMHO a game that requires more physical and tactical strength than American Football, and flows better overall). If you don't know, the six are Scotland (my country), England, Ireland, Wales, France and Italy...

I don't want to sound like a troll or a massive cynic but this is exactly what I'd do if I wanted to fleece money from rich people who care about animals. If you want to help animals and know for sure that your money is being used well, try donating it to a widely recognised animal charity, such...

Middle Earth is just fantasy middle England, so when I read the books I picture the hobbits as anglo-saxon. At that sort of technology level people didn't really move around much beyond their local area, and a dark-skinned person would have been a strange sight in medieval England. The story...

... so write.

Definitely rock climbing. Being halfway up a really tricky route in glorious weather and completely focussed on the task at hand. Sound.

This. Even if you go and intentionally spoil your ballot to register your hatred of the system, you should still go.

And you still have to maneuver in 40k, because if you just stand still then any army with arillery can rip you apart. The rules between fantasy and 40k are relatively the same, so any point you make about 40k tactics would generally apply to fantasy as well. Get rid of your bias./quote] I'm...

Several hundred pounds worth of Warhammer and 40k. It's still an awesome game, just too expensive and time-consuming for me to fit into my life any more.

It really bothers me. I am still deeply aggravated by being unable to get all the gold medals on Trackmania (and that's a free game, if that's any indication of how much this gets to me).

Devil May Cry. I've beaten countless similar games, but for some reason this eludes me. I'm only halfway through after years of playing.
