Actually a friend of mine told me that the reason sometimes he doesn't understand what I say or whatever is because "When women talk it doesn't go through clean so its hard for men to stay focused." Thats what he says...I don't think I phrased it write, but he says he read it somewhere...whatever that means. All I say is, excuses excuses!Quote:

We may soon be able to scale vertical walls like Spider-man thanks to scientists. What other superhero characteristics are achievable for mere mortals?
It's the stuff of dreams, but a spider-man suit that allows the wearer to scale vertical walls could become a reality.
Italian scientists have worked out how the natural technology used by real spiders could allow a person to crawl up the side of a skyscraper or hang upside down from a roof.
Has science finally caught up with comic book, and what other superhero characteristics could humans soon have?
And here I was thinking I was super already *sniff* :bawling:
Well, then you would be super-duper!

...
Richard Curtis's 1994 romantic comedy took 22% of the vote in the poll, squeaking past the Life of Brian by just 1%.
Trainspotting, about heroin users in Scotland, was third with 15% of the vote.
Life of Brian's mixture of comedy and religious themes prompted controversy when it was released in 1979.
...
Casino Royale, starring Daniel Craig as James Bond, made it into fourth place with 10% and Guy Ritchie's gangster film Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels came fifth with 8%.
The top 10 was completed with Lawrence of Arabia (8%), Withnail and I (5%), Atonement (4%), The Wicker Man (4%) and Get Carter (3%).
Dame Judi took nearly a third (29%) of the votes in the best actress poll, more than double that of her nearest rivals Dame Helen Mirren and Julie Walters, both on 14%.
Behind Sir Sean and Sir Anthony in the best actor poll were Sir Michael Caine, Grant and Sir Ian McKellen. Some 1,000 people were questioned in the survey for Virgin Media.

2. Because Of You - Kelly Clarkson
3. You're Beautiful - James Blunt
4. I Don't Feel Like Dancin' - Scissor Sisters

It's probably better for your sanity that you only know the first 3 songs :p.
I don't like many that are listed either.
I don't know any!!! :lol: Why am I so proud of that? :D :DQuote:
