Ah! I want one!
Go here and scroll about halfway down the page until you see the cell phone that looks and works exactly like a COMMUNICATOR FROM THE ORIGINAL STAR TREK SERIES!
Fate is so unkind... I unfortunately do not have $500 to spend on a Star Trek communicator. I may be able to scrounge up 5 bucks to buy one of the fake plated metal ones if I dig around in the couch cushions a bit, but that's as far as my dreams may go. ::sigh::

This brings back memories
... of a puzzle of US states I had in elementary school. Except this one will insist on counting you wrong if you're off by more than two milimeters.
Terribly fun, nonetheless.

And global warming goes *splat*
Speculist once again demonstrates why we should not listen to meteorologists who guess the weather decades from now, yet cannot accurately predict the weather three days from now.

Wierd
Wired News: "Sending a weak electrical impulse through the front of a person's head can boost verbal skills by as much as 20 percent..."
So I should take a tazer to my next final?

I'm glad someone finally said it
I completely agree with everything Ben and Miss O'Hara say in these articles.
I'm upset at my mother for buying me the low-rise jeans. One of my friends can't see why I don't like wearing them. She's completely mystified that I don't like to show my underwear in public. Not to mention Plumber's Crack is, if anything, even less attractive on a woman than on a man.
I don't generally date 'bad boys'. Instead, I get good, nice guys that are completely lacking in anything resembling a spine. How can I trust you to be a spiritual leader for my family if you won't even choose where to eat? I swear I won't break up with you if you choose something I don't like.
Maybe I just have an overbearing personality, or maybe modern-day men are just whipped (I'm leaning toward option number two), but the two guys I've dated have been so terribly reluctant to give their opinion it's painful. Stop cringing in the corner and tell me what you want, for goodness's sake!
Here're some examples:
Strong, masculine men know what they want. They are not afraid to speak their opinion, even if said opinion is an unpopular one. There is, of course, a difference between being decisive and being dictatorial--a man that's secure in his masculinity doesn't need to push women around either.

Here're some examples:
- THE BAD WAY
Girl: What do you want for dinner?
Boy: I don't know. What do you want?
Girl: Why not Taco Bell? Or would you rather eat at that new Chinese place?
Boy: I don't know. Whichever one you want.
Girl: ::strangle::
THE OTHER BAD WAY
Boy: We're eating at Taco Bell tonight.
Girl: But I'm allergic to their seasoning!
Boy: Woman, don't you contradict me!
THE GOOD WAY
Boy: Hey, wanna try out that new Chinese place?
Girl: Sure!
::And there is much rejoicing::
