Please don't do that, I love English humor. I'm probably the only one of my friends who watches the BBC and likes it. Also, although I'm thoroughly American, my great grandparents are thoroughly English. My grandmother still has afternoon tea.

Me too. I have a notoriously short attention span and I need new brainfood in the form of music on a consistent basis.

My oldest stopped breathing, but I wasn't there. It happened during a spinal tap. His doc gave him the kiss of life. Turns out he had infant botulism.

I hate to admit it, but I'm a bit like that. I'm constantly astonished at the musical idiocy surrounding me.

Ditto here.

Same here, except my son is 11 and thinks his taste in music is some sort of ultimate truth.

Yah, me too. I hate myself for it though. I feel like Dianne on Cheers.

I do that, but I'm a girl and we're supposed to be like that.

I know how to hypnotize crying babies (not literally) and animals won't leave me alone.

It works both ways as well, i've always known that i'm straight but if you'd have told me at 12 that i shouldn't just assume this is true is ridiculous.

Exactly my point, it goes without question that someone so young could say he liked girls but heaven forbid he should know he likes both...:\

ok, wow, I didn't expect so many people to answer.. but well, aren't we all internet attetion whores? :laughing:

I just made it to page 4 or 5 or something.. so first asnwer.

been there, one of the things you do once, and then barely understand why you'd done it. + damn, it itches the following weeks!

:laughing:
that reminds me of a fact I should have put on the list:
I enjoy shitting. It's so liberating!
there, I said it. anyone?

well, then do something about it! become an MC!

:hugs:

2. How's that??
9.and21. totally agree. life's weird.


Mind recommending some punk blues?

I'm amazed you tried to watch it over and over again though. why would you do that?

Now on to the next pages!

next postst..
of all the jobs in the world..

6. made me laugh out loudly, love it when things are so random..
21. interesting. One of those English words I never figured.

1. roleplaying is so much fun. Played it back in my teens, and started a new group, where I live now, 3 months ago!
2. Damn you! I couldn't imagine any life to be much less adventurous than mine.. it sucks.
3. same here. We're probably right about the bad voice.. just a guess.
4. yeah you do. But I do too..

I didn't know until one and a half year ago- my parents knew all the time but wouldn't tell me for whatever reason. It was really weird at first, you start questioning what's different about yourself. You get a whole new look on how easily things can go wrong with chromosomes. I'm lucky, but if it happens to another chromosome the effects are much worse.
In the end I read a lot about it. In the 70's or 80's people called it the crime syndrome because of some misinterpreted study. But it does have some effect on social behavior, kids tend to be more active, not that quick to the uptake, might have delayed speech etc.
and there's stuff like shaky hands (that I have), more acne, in comparison to siblings lower IQ, greater height (after all I'm 1,98m).
There are also some studies on how it might effect sexuality.

Still don't know what to think of it, but yeah, it's just not that serious. No desease or something.

30% is an estimated number. When I was born they tested some cells, and that's the average.
It's probably 25%, that would make sense considering how it happens, citation:
"In some cases, the addition of an extra Y chromosome results from nondisjunction during cell division during a post-zygotic mitosis in early embryonic development. This can produce 46,XY/47,XYY mosaics." So maybe it happend when 2 cells became 4?!

:laughing:

Don't ever under any circumstances go to a frat party.

Wasn't that the plot of that movie The Accused?

admit it, you got that from some movie!

no way, same thought here! now, where's some proof??

Did I say lazy? I meant idle of course! ...

haha, yeah, I have a birthmark below my nose, and even my father has once told me to "get rid of the bogy"..

Be proud of that! Judging from my experiece there's nothing taught in university you couldn't just as well read in some book yourself, and it seems that's what you do, so therefore..

I'm proud to annouce the 2009 honorary title of sheer knowledge awesomeness goes tooo..
(super long drum roll)
Pianogirl75! Congrats!

It's true, our society wants certificates everywhere (and who can blame them? it's some form of security), but you shouldn't feel insecure because of that. It's just another label we choose to accept, or not. And isn't there a chance you could do some evening school? It seems you got the mental requirements and the thirst for knowledge, you might just do it hands down?!

11. is there any? :laughing:
12. where to?
13. now that's awesome. I would join in immediatly!

1. what happens when you close the right one? You brain wouldn't allow the partial sight of the left eye?
2. don't! it's fun
15. but, they are!
19. I do too! I cry over tv shows aswell.. it's just so damn sad/nice sometimes!

(15. Come on, give him the time to rebel your music taste. I'd bet in 6 years you could name several "of your" bands your son likes by then.)


now that's by far the most stupid thing I've read on here (and the competition is tight :laughing:)

---1. what happens when you close the right one? You brain wouldn't allow the partial sight of the left eye?----

Yeah but I can barely see with it so in normal vision mode I don't use it. I do have to get regular check ups at the opticians. This means that my right eye has perfect vision still because it has to work harder. It honestly doesn't affect anything though and I can see perfectly and don't need glasses.

lol...what movie? Honestly, it was just a quiet place nearby that we knew no one would think to look for us.
