Bleh. It's all fun and games until you're booked for impersonating a police officer.

Furries for no apparent reason--I feel there is a need to shoot and skin them unnecessarily.

Don`t know if this has already been mentioned, but the cost of shipping on Ebay is annoying me. The item is starting at $3.00, and the seller jacks up shipping to $21.50. Reason it bugs me is because I`ve received items that weigh more than this for MUCH lower shipping.

I came down with that damn cold yesterday that's going around. I wanted to call in sick to work but had to chair a couple of important meetings. I think I'll be grounded all weekend trying to shake this thing. What really sucks is it seems to have affected my alcohol tolerance too.

For those of you that don't know what that is, the Erdos number is your degrees of separation from Paul Erdos, a famous mathematician who wrote TONS while the Bacon number is the degrees of separation from Kevin Bacon in acting roles.

Her Erdos number must be at least a 2 because he died in 1996.

Wasn't it you who said, in another thread, that people sometimes used to think you were gay?

If you think the most interesting thing about Danica McKellar is her Erdős-Bacon number... I'm starting to understand why, man.

Well, strictly speaking, a news story is only "breaking" when it first becomes news.
After that, the story is no longer breaking, but is instead developing or ongoing news.

A quick example:
Breaking news - "Multiple car crash on highway - fatalities suspected."
Developing news - "It's now confirmed that four people died and ten were injured following a multiple car accident in peak hour on highway #61..."

I agree with a lot of your other points - a very comprehensive list!

AT&T/Verizon. Choose one name and keep it.

You mean AT&T and Cingular. Verizon is in no way affiliated with AT&T.
