did you mean risky or risqué? Both, but I wasn't sure on the spelling for the latter, nor on how to get the accent mark over the "e," so I just went with "risky." @Mad: That's a rather spiffy symbol you've got, there.+

@JH: You just earned yourself Defender_16's ire! @Rob: Huh. I never knew about that holiday. I'll throw lifesavers at people on the day and say that I'm celebrating it.

I'll have to agree with Eagle. The best and the least risky.

Haha! DC is back! Awesome! On a side/topic-related note: The nineteenth is, ironically enough, the same day that the NHS (National Honors Society) accepts their new members. "Do you, Tofu, take it upon yourself to help those who need aid, serve your community, and in general be a good person?" "Aye aye, Cap'in!" "Er... What?" "It be International Talk Like a Pirate Day, yeh skalewag! Arr!" "Ooooookaaaaaaaaay.... Next in line, please."

Score one for me! Let's hear it for innadvertant genius! Can I get a "W00T W00T?" ... Erm, right. I guess I can't. Oh well...

Wow... Luke's facial expression is perfect. This is just so weird, though, man... so weird...

... and damn do they fall fast!

Sidearms are firearms. FDR allowed the attack of Pearl Harbor to happen. Of course, just like how George W. Bush allowed the attack on September 11, 2001. Utter rubbish. Maybe the two are analogous now, but in the past I've heard that a "gun" is a weapon bolted down to a ship that's about ten times your size, a firearm is a two-handed weapon, and a side-arm is anything in the pistol range. *Shrugs* I don't really believe the conspiracy stuff, and feel that it's utter rubbish. FDR certainly wanted to get into that war and stop Hitler, but I don't think he'd allow such an extreme loss of human life. And, quite frankly, not much really pointed to the Japanese attacking us- Yamamato (sp?) was opposed to the attack from the start, and it opened up a whole new front to the war. Granted, it severely injured our fleet, but it also brought in a continental player to this war. Not the best move ever at the time.

This is Team Gizka, SOCL. They've been almost done for nearly six months, now. But they're still cool.

Hulk was, to the best of my knowledge: A big green, muscley guy who broke things and wore purple boxers. And that was it. I'm sixteen, actually (Yeah, yeah, I'm young) and never was into collecting cards- I see too far into the future and say "They're just going to become unpopular." Others, however... Dear God, others, they wasted hundreds on those dumb cards...

I don't see why everyone hated The Incredible Hulk so much. I saw it and didn't think it was too bad. I'm not a fan of the comics, though, and had never heard of Hulk, so that could be part of it. Daredevil... Okay, yeah, that was a pretty weird one, but I still liked the concept; again, I didn't know who Daredevil was when I saw it, but I still liked the idea of a blind superhero. His girlfriend dying three-quarters of the way through was odd, though, especially when she was trying to kill him and... Ah! I'll watch the Ironman trailer when I have sound....

Fantastic, in fact, in my opinion, it's better than Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords by leaps and bounds, due, at least in part, to its actual complete plot as well as the far fewer bugs, etc. KotOR II was, essentially, what you thought of the NJO books, SOCL: I believe your terminology was a tyranosaurusmustangsandwich. It tried to hard to be too good and was, while good, not quite the quality of the first one. Heck, I'll go out on a limb and say that it's a bit too open. It's akin to Morrowind or Oblivion, only you have to complete the main quest in a lot of cases, and some quests can't be completed even though they are completed because of the ****ing bugs and... Well, you get the picture. I'm waiting for the Team Gizka project that's supposed to fix everything up before I try KOTOR II again...

Eh, what? I'm not so certain that they can, but then, I only had one year of U.S. Government, and passed the AP test with a four primarily because it was quite easy and I had a good teacher, not because I was actually interested... One of the strangest conspiracy theories I've heard so far is the idea that FDR knew about Pearl Harbor's imminent attack, and prepared the US forces to be slaughtered by having their firearms replaced with sidearms the day before, in order to both fund the economy through righteous hatred and to get us into the war. I say that's rather foolish, as it would have gotten us into the war just as assuredly if we'd repulsed the attack as if we'd been hit, and the economy would have taken off from the new war jobs with our inclusion in the war. Then again, I've not taken economics, so my opinion is grounded only in my limited understanding of the economy, thus... Meh. Discuss.

As I said last year on this day, I whole-heartedly hope that this day is never forgotten. Unfortunately it already really is; there was no form of memorial, really, beyond a request that the student body wear red, white, and blue. There was a brief news snipit, but that was it. Old news and such, I guess. The thing that still gets me about that, though, is a woman in the postal service given a Congressional Medal of Freedom for going through the mail in the New York postal system and issuing a reply to ever person's correspondences who had perished in the terrorist act... Edit: Alex the parrot is dead...

... As I've said before, the RTS has been known to crank out a lot of my free time. I have to wait until I've done everything else that needs doing, else my thought process becomes, "Oh, I only need three hours to do that... Oh, I only need two and a half hours to do that... Oh, I only need an hour to do that... I can do it tomorrow... I only need two hours of sleep a night..."

Trust me- old minutes from Congress can get very boring very quickly.

It's from Innfinities.

Cool beans, man! I wish our Florida property had something cool on it. All we have is an old Indian Burial ground under the home... You know, I probably shouldn't have disturbed the bones down there, but really, what's the worst that can happen? (Props to anyone who got that reference) Seriously, though, that's pretty sweet! Keep us posted!

Scrubs meets the Muppets. Quite possibly the greatest thing ever. Edit:

I want to go on one of those slide, too, Mad! I had never seen that pic you thought had been posted before- it officially is awesome, and wins a spiffy award!

Vader with white armor. I figured that, while we were changing aspects of Anakin/Vader/the real world, this might be appropriate... Seems like a waste of three months, all of that editing.

As always, I have to ask what you search for to find your source images, Jahled.

Mad, that first link was impressive... In a very "eww" way.

That 4Chan one is kinda cool. That last one... That's just creepy...
