LOL. Now Hayat is going to show up saying "gads!" as a swearword and expecting everyone to have a butler and a cook.

Achoo trollers. It must be a transatlantic bug. That plus some unpleasant fumes at work yesterday and I'm feeling the sickest I've been all year

Hey there Gheelle.T. When did you say your shuttle to the International Space Station is going to take off? Have a safe trip, and thank you for the sample of moon rock you sent. I put it in the garden by the roses, it's amazing how easily it blends in with the Earth rocks.

I have never heard of this Tevin Campbell fellow, so let's get back to the topic people. Well, as Henry Wadsworth Longfellow says in Morituri Salutamus, reading gives you: The love of learning, the sequestered nooks, And all the sweet serenity of books. Or at least I think that's what the poem says. I only read this quote in someone's MySpace page.

^What's with the haikus? Good morning/afternoon trollers. Good luck Haneefah. The toughest thing about oral exams is that all you remember after is the questions you KNEW the answer to but you were to rattled to remember.

Dear Friends, As we move closer to the end of another year I wanted to thank you for all the e-mails you have forwarded to me over the past year. I must send a big thank you to whoever sent me the one about rat shit in the glue on envelopes, because I now have to use a wet sponge with every envelope that needs sealing. Also, I now have to wipe the top of every can I open for the same reason. I no longer have any savings because I gave it all to a sick girl who is about to die in the hospital for the 1,387,258th time. But that will change once I receive the $15,000 that Bill Gates and Microsoft are sending me for participating in their special email programs. Or from the senior bank clerk in Nigeria who wants me to split seven million dollars with me for pretending to be a long lost relative of a customer who died intestate. And I need no longer worry about my soul because I have 363,214 angels looking out for me. I have learned that my prayers only get answered if I forward emails to seven friends and make a wish within five minutes. I no longer drink Coca-Cola because it can remove toilet stains. I no longer can buy petrol without taking a friend along to watch the car so a serial killer won't crawl in my back seat when I'm filling up. I no longer go to shopping centres because someone will drug me with a food sample and rob me. I no longer answer the phone because someone will ask me to dial a number and then I'll get a phone bill with calls to Jamaica, Uganda, Singapore and Uzbekistan. I can't use anyone's toilet but mine because a big brown African spider is lurking under the seat to cause me instant death when it bites my bum. I can't even pick up the five bucks I found dropped in the car park because it was probably put there by a crazed axe murderer waiting under my car to grab my hand. If you don't send this email to at least 144,000 people in the next 10 minutes, a large pelican with an acute case of diarrhoea will sit on your head and fleas from 12 camels will infest your back, causing you to grow a most unsightly hairy hump. I know this because it actually happened to a friend of my next door neighbour's ex-mother-in-law's second husband's cousin's plumber - and it was on Good Morning Australia. By the way.... did you know that a South American scientist has, after a lengthy study, discovered that people with low IQs who don't have enough sex, always read their emails while holding the mouse. Don't bother taking it off now, it's too late. Regards,

My bad. I meant Somalia's army was finally defeated by FOUR armies with the assistance of 2 or more superpowers. Has anyone ever told you that you are a few fries short of a Happy Meal?

Put it this way: It took not one, not two, not three, but FOUR armies from all corners of the world (Africa, Asia, Europe and the Americas) to beat Somalia. Not bad at all

Actually, the Salem witch trials, the Spanish Inquisition, Jewish extremism in Palestine, and the Hindu practice of Sati (self-immolation by widows), are all well-known examples of violence perpetrated against the innocent and powerless in the name of religion. Nothing new, unfortunately.

^But I've never been to Calgary! It's a joke site people, chillax :rolleyes:

^So tell us, is there any truth to C&H's predictions? Or are the Farahs so grateful and impressed that they have mad respect for a girl's daring? **Waiting, pen poised

Typical. Seems like you guys don't enjoy getting bruises, only doling them out

Yes, waiting for the laundry. Isn't it well past your bedtime young lady?

Nuune, dadka ha wareerin. In astronomy, planets are planets, stars are stars. Maybe you mean astrology. *Sniff* LOZ, maybe it's just the East Coast that has displeased the heavens, cuz California was getting a whimsical smile.

^From the sounds of things Ibti and Faheema will construe that as a threat

^Mathematically speaking, that would also mean 1 Ethiopian/Somali soldier is > or = 2 Somali civilians based on this table.

Aww, I wonder how they caught him. Do you known, mail-order brides really were sent by mail? It's true, the mailboxes used to be a lot bigger back then, enough so that two brides could fit in one while they each waited for their husbands. Stamp friendships would often develop while the two women chatted, and later, the women would write to each other for many many years. A collection of such letters was published in 1958 entitled "Sticky on One Side" by the noted historian I. Kidd.

And I study...things! We are obviously a match made in heaven. Let's make robot babies!

It's an excellent "photo". Note the guy with the shovel on the top right corner, AND the other guy on the balcony on the bottom left. Have only one, and you may think your eyes are deceiving you, but two is just right.

LOL @ Ariadne. So what do YOU study?

^Gosh that sounds good Ibti. I haven't been having breakfast for a couple of weeks now (rushing off before 8 in the morning, yawn) and I just miss my cheerios and orange juice...

Hello Val. I really don't know what sparked it, I think I was just reading for class. It's just surprising how much odd details I remember, right down to being criticized by the girl's mom for my hair. Hi Lily, I always pictured you as supremely cool, so anything weird you do is probably next season's in-thing Ibti, the sad thing is that after a while I forgot all about the girl and started obsessing about fixing the TV I read the manual, I was ordering the girl's dad about (okay, turn it off now, hand me the screwdriver, where's the fuse?), I even called tech support. I think I woke up at that point because I was so disgusted with myself.

Jeez ladies, enough with the chocolate talk. I just realized I haven't had any in weeks :eek: I had the strangest dream sequence last night. It started with me missing the bus, and ended with me trying to convince a teenage girl in a Christian sect to take community college classes. The last thing I remember I was helping her scary father fix the TV so she would have a chance to sneak upstairs and grab a bookbag.

It's not as if Hayat threw herself in front of the car, Pucca. She just had an unpleasant surprise to cap an unpleasant day. If you cannot empathize at all, it's probably because you lack life experience, while not possessing enough imagination to fill in the blanks. What's with all these smug Canadian kids?

Except none of those are stars <--Yankee edumacation.
