I often thought that if I got a boob implant, I'd get one on my forehead, because it's a lot closer to what I want people to consider about me.

You know who I would marry in a second? Richard Feynman, because a finer man has never lived. But since he's dead now, I guess I'm looking at the life of a spinster with 87 cats.


As the Feynman book title goes: "What do you care what other people think?"

If other people take the wrong tissue mass seriously, that's their loss, ultimately.

You know, the only thing I hated about the courrier pigeons was the poo. Well, that, and the feathers.

Hi elijah! What's the good word?


The reason we never did any good patches for CTP2 was because Activision canned the entire production team after they made all their money back.

No money in PC games, is what we were told. Funny that the upper-ups all came down with bad cases of bonus checks equalling twice their salaries every month or so.

What I want to know is what REALLY happened to Alan Turing. I heard he got himself 'disappeared' under 'mysterious circumstances'.

I like to think that maybe his phone call actually got through and maybe the aliens took him home.

I bet he didn't even have to call collect, either.

Yeah, but that always seemed a little, well, ODD to me, you know?

1) Most poisons are almost always administered. People who commit suicide aren't exactly looking to suffer MORE just to gain an end.

Cyanide Description: As a gas, cyanide is colorless and has a sharp, pepper-like odor. There are two kinds of cyanide, hydrogen cyanide and cyanogen chloride (cyanogen chloride turns into hyrdogen cyanide inside the body).

Effects: They are blood agents that interfere with the use of oxygen in the body. But cyanogen chloride has strong irritating and choking effects on the eyes and respiratory tract, unlike hyrdogen cyanide. Liquid forms of cyanide will burn skin and eyes. Cyanide acts quickly, but only large amounts are deadly. Cyanide poisoning can be treated with inhaled amyl nitrate, or intravenous sodium nitrite and sodium thiosulfate.

I just have a hard time believing that he would have taken such a painful and grisly way out (I mean, given the option, seppuku actually sounds pretty good...)
