Well since I'm suffering from insomnia and don't really want to figure out how to play SotSE at this point or watch Season 3 of "Angel" or read The Amber Spyglass I'm going to boot up D2 and see what's up.

It's really cool how, the more you learn about what goes on in a cell, the more you realize it's just like a computer, except like many orders of magnitude more complicated than any computer or machine man has built.
But yeah, it sucks hardcore when that happens. It always happens with writers I like.
Like Orson Scott Card? Though it seems like the quality of his books went down as his insanity went up.
Mel Gibson made some sweet action movies before he became a psychopath.
I think the only Mel Gibson movie I really enjoy is Maverick. Never saw Mad Max, but I'm not really a fan of post-apocalyptic type movies.
I like the Mad Max movies and the Lethal Weapon movies.
Oh, Lethal Weapon, I liked those movies too. Forgot about those. My brain seems to be hitting the limit for the number of facts it can remember. For putting the Lethal weapon movies back in my head, you probably made me forget the mechanism of PTEN function and thus make me fail the final tomorrow. I hope you're happy.

# The word 'pound' is abbreviated 'lb.' after the constellation 'libra' because it means 'pound' in Latin, and also 'scales'. The abbreviation for the British Pound Sterling comes from the same source: it is an 'L' for Libra/Lb. with a stroke through it to indicate abbreviation.
# Sames goes for the Italian lira which uses the same abbreviation ('lira' coming from 'libra'). So British currency (before it went metric) was always quoted as "pounds/shillings/pence", abbreviated "L/s/d" (libra/solidus/denarius).

I'm not sure I believe that our eyes do not grow...

G'night, [chat].
Isn't there some mathematical rule that applies when you love the maker rather than the work. It's like some negative feedback loop.

K. I'll have to re-buy it, but I might just do that and start a game-on.
Hardcore ladder?
I'm in. It's more fun with more people so we might need to recruit.

Mel Gibson made some sweet action movies before he became a psychopath.
And those movies are still sweet action movies.

Running along similar lines, I have to block out recent thoughts on Tom Cruise in order to enjoy Collateral, anymore.

Yes.
Also, today's comic is hilarious. Very astute observation, Mr. Keenan!
