That's the second most popular one, right?

I got a little behind in school so my mom's limiting my computer time

That's unfortunate. Now you have an incentive to get caught up quickly.

 

Yes, hang in there everybody! We'll overload this server yet! (:

That sounds like a challenge. ONWARD TO VICTORY!

 

*dances into the topic* Hullo HOP-ers! *distributes cookies*

 

How is everyone today? ^_^

Yay, cookies! I love cookies. I made chocolate zucchini loaf today.

 

I'm pretty good. Maybe a bit tired, and it's freezing cold here. How are you?

 

I'm doing well enough. -nibbles cookie- Just reading OMGfacts. Speaking of which did you know that the average human heart beats 100k times a day?

 

How are you today, Livvy?

Hearts are pretty amazing.

Hey Masaryk, I heard there was a 40 car pile-up in Ontario!

 

Near Barrie, I presume? *runs to CBC to check* Yup. There are often big accidents near there. It's nowhere near me. I'm a solid 600 km away from there.

 

 

I'm pretty darned happy, thank you. :D It'll be evident why in a bit.

Congrats on your 7000th post! ;)

In 1980, a Las Vegas hospital suspended workers for betting on when patients would die, and one of the nurses was accused of killing patients to win the bets.

Oooo, now I feel even more lame that I'm not even a fantastic member yet. Every one has colors or stars...

 

Although I was aware that the sun was a star so I guess there is still hope for me :)

I just learned that 55% of Americans don't know that the sun is a star.

That really is an epic facepalm. Sorry, but average Americans are not the smartest bunch.

I don't even know what to say to this.

 

Guys guys guys guys guys! Look! *points* I'm GREEN! *dances happily*

Congratulations!

Yeah, we really aren't.

 

Apparently, India has more honor roll students than America HAS students.

 

 

Btw, i'd just like to add:

The NASDAQ Stock Exchange was totally disabled by a SQUIRREL.

One day in December 1987 a squirrel started a power failure in Trumbull, Connecticut, shutting down the National Association of Securities Dealers' automatic quotation service for 82 minutes. One little squirrel made an impact around the world, halting trading at the Chicago Board Options Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, the Philadelphia Stock Exchange and the Pacific Stock Exchange.

 

The power failure caused 20 million shares from being traded that day. Another casualty from this incident: the squirrel died.

Operatian 'Stock market kamakazee' was a success in my books.

I need to read some of those facts now

poor, poor squirrel

well, Ryan India has over 1.1 billion people, and America has 300 million

there is also a younger average age in India

How is everyone today? ^_^

 

YAY! I'm been craving some sugar. It's Chocolate Chip, right? :D

 

I'm pretty darned happy, thank you. :D It'll be evident why in a bit.

 

YAY! Again. Congrats :D

 

Oh! Why thank you. That wasn't why, but thank you all the same. ^_^

 

YAYx3! I'm so excited for you. I can't wait to see your first written something. (:

 

EDIT: Somehow, by quoting Livvy, I nearly over-loaded on smilies.

:O Livvy, you're gonna be part of the Content Team? Congrats! :thumbsup:

(Oh, and for the 7k posts too).

 

This is the first time I've looked at the HOP board in over a month. Guess I was just lucky to have happened upon this, otherwise I never would've known that :P

 

I doubt that 55% of Americans don't know that the sun is a star. Y'know what Twain said, "There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics."

*heart attack*

 

*sigh*

 

Congrats...

I don't blame you for saying that. America sucks, and so does most of the citizens.

Hey, it can't be that bad - I mean, some of you Americans were smart enough to join TDN, right? :P

 

Yeah but that's not as cool as knowing how cracking your knuckles doesn't really cause arthritis.

Yeah, everyone would tell me how I'd have arthritis because I crack ALL my joints, but then my doctor said, "Actually your saving money on a chiropractor..."

I'm suffering from arthritis just fine without any need to crack my joints, thank you very much. :rolleyes_anim:

*gives livvy a giant bear hug*

 

That's fantastic, congratulations. :D

Posted

I used to crack my knuckles when I got nervous. I had to work hard to break the habit. But I guess I find comfort in nervous habits.

 

BTW, Livvy... you lost your star. :sad02: Where did it go? :P

Posted

I must say, Spritzie and Livvy's names at the bottom of this page come together in quite a nice contrast. :P

 

Edit: Spritzie, Livvy's star formed a cocoon and is now in the process of metamorphosing into a double-starred staff bar. ;)

No, it's very bad. We were stupid enough to enter/start an unecessary war that plunged the world (especially us) into a global financial crisis. Think about what other bone headed moves we did or could've done.

 

Sometimes I wish I lived in Canada.
