I think .. hmm. Most of the places I've donated money to were fine arts places, in the form of buying tickets to their productions. I don't trust how money is handled in charitable organizations, so I don't give money. I do give time. When I still lived in DC I volunteered as a receptionist at a fre...

I don't think I've ever asked if anything made me look fat. That's what mirrors are for. I *have* asked if something makes me look sleazy, but under the circumstances (trying to make my wardrobe work appropriate while maintaining my own individual style) it was appropriate... On the other hand, havi...

I have to admit... the idea of a crowbar mark made back in the early 1900s is a silly historical tidbit. *wry* You'd probably be surprised what you can learn from a crowbar mark made back in the early 1900s. Mind you, I'm constantly surprised at what you can learn from potsherds. That's right, the ...

I had a great experience at my college. I found a really nice group of friends, had a wonderful time. Yeah, at times, the drama got a little bit out of hand. In part, I think this was because we were a fairly insular, inbred group of friends... lots of friends dating each other and breaking up with ...

And yeah, I did the National Merit Scholarship thing... don't remember much of those, though. I did OM when I was in elementary school, and the NMS stuff was more like, ho hum, a...

I think the difference between Crazy Elf and Cyko, though, is that Crazy Elf goes out of his way to be bluntly, blatantly crazy. It's only offensive if you don't realize that he's playing a game, which by this point is fairly easy to do. Sorry, Elf, but it is. :D Cyko, on the other hand, is a whinin...

One horribly and grotesquely mutilates the X-Men comics The other horribly and grotesquely mutilates the Batman comics.

Gyaaaaahhh... don't even talk to me about accidental archaeology. The politics involved... at least in the US... when someone accidentally finds a body in a construction site... gyargh! I mean, first there's determining whether or not it's a recent corpse, and then there's determining which of sever...

Dave, as far as not caring... I don't know what other people care about. And at the moment, after a shower and a long night's nightmares, I don't really give a damn either. I'm kind of annoyed that the US is taking the 'I told you so' stance, and I'm worried about what some friends of mine are sayin...

You know, I would have started a thread to discuss it, but... well, shit, I know absolutely nothing about the political climate in that part of the world. At least, nothing relevant to the last hundred years. So I'm going to keep my mouth shut on things I know nothing about. Which, incidentally, Dav...

The killer is, according to latest theory, using a white panel van of some sort. And Pete's right, Fredericksburg, despite my earlier comments to Evan, is close enough that the sniper could very well ahve shifted base to there. It would be odd, considering that up till now he or she's mostly stayed ...

Evan, let me requote: Sources said police discovered the card and a spent shell casing near an area of matted grass in the woods where the sniper apparently had lain in wait. The spot is about 150 yards from where the boy was struck in the chest by a bullet, moments after being dropped off at the sc...
