Don't underestimate the power of a delusional mind. Probibly the reason how the human species managed to survive for so many years. Yeah... I'm bitter. LOL.
There's a major road I use to take to work which is sloaped up to a set of lights. When roads are icy you see people struggling to get up it if they were unlucky enough to have to stop while on the slope and lacked the traction to get up it. Days like that I take a different route to work.
Barry, I duno, there's some serious money being made by "gold farming" in MMOs. It goes both ways you know, people with jobs don't want to waste the time playing to gain gold in game so they just buy it on the internet. I would also like to add that apparently another big sweat shop industry is accounting. It's cheaper for people to send your taxes elsewhere then for them to do it themself.
As far as 80s cartoons went, I was always a fan of Garfield over all the rest. I would always crack up when I heard him say "People like that need to be dragged out into the street and shot". Can't say that in a cartoon anymore, nope.
