I have the mother of all warts on my right foot - my doctor tried to get rid of it, and made it angry and now it's bigger :scared:

You only go shoe shopping once a year?

oh my :scared: i had a wart once, they froze it off - quite traumatizing that your own body can conjure something as scary as that.

yes, i only go shoe shopping once a year, twice a year every other year when my suit shoes are outdated. in the (quite appalling) universe of shopping, shoe shopping is by far the worst.

I know, it's disgusting, and I can't see what good it does in the great Chain of Being. It may suck having one, but imagine being one? They've tried freezing it off, they've tried acid, and that weird beetle juice that makes it blister underneath...I imagine they're going to try burning it off next, and then they'll just have to cut it out. Fun times!

I don't mind shoe shopping...dress shopping is the worse for me, especially when you have something to go to.

:lol2: :lol2:

being one must definitely suck, but if it keep evolving it might just consume and transmute you - now that, is a scenario worthy of a big hollywood movie.

i'm kind of set with clothes and since i don't really rate them highly i almost don't care. I only care about having 1 good suit and a handfull of good shirts. The rest are just random t-shirts with no print and a couple of jeans. shoe shopping sucks because they are so expensive and have a clear expiration date on them.

Looking forward to CERN's announcement about the possible discovery of the Higgs Boson in about 10 mins.
Science: they suspect the answer for about two years but decide a decisive date on which to announce the answer with enough evidence to support it. :tup:

Swag will find it soon, I think he's only got 29,800 accounts left to check :D
:lol: 29,798 and counting

The day the discovery of the Higgs Boson was announced! :weee:
It's actually cool that science can still make front page news in this era of pseudo-celebrity and mindless drivel.

And how more American can the Higgs Boson get? It's like the fat American Wal-Mart customer of the subatomic universe.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

Need I say more?

It simply never gets old
As someone who grew up in Chicago in the 80s, it hits almost a little too close to home. :oops:

Apparently, this is big news:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-18702455

Obviously, I can't tell you why, though.
Because Snooki got knocked off the front page by some weird science shit, that's why it's news.

Never heard about this before :lol:

- Grenada went into the match with a superior goal difference, meaning that Barbados needed to win by two goals to progress to the finals. The trouble was caused by two things. First, unlike most group stages in football competitions, the organizers had deemed that all games must have a winner. All games drawn over 90 minutes would go to sudden death extra time. Secondly and most importantly, there was an unusual rule which stated that in the event of a game going to sudden death extra time the goal would count double, meaning that the winner would be awarded a two goal victory.

Barbados was leading 2-0 until the 83rd minute, when Grenada scored, making it 2-1. Approaching the dying moments, the Barbadians realized they had little chance of scoring past Grenada's mass defense in the time available, so they deliberately scored an own goal to tie the game at 2-2. This would send the game into extra time and give them another half hour to break down the defense. The Grenadians realized what was happening and attempted to score an own goal as well, which would put Barbados back in front by one goal and would eliminate Barbados from the competition.

However, the Barbados players started defending their opposition's goal to prevent them from doing this, and during the game's last five minutes, the fans were treated to the incredible sight of Grenada trying to score in either goal while Barbados defended both ends of the pitch. Barbados successfully held off Grenada for the final five minutes, sending the game into extra time. In extra time, Barbados notched the game-winner, and, according to the rules, was awarded a 4-2 victory, which put them through to the next round. -
