    What are the top 5 things would you do if you win Friday's Mega Million?

    Probably fund a black ops mission to infiltrate Iran and North Korea to completely wreck their shit to kingdom come..I'd guess 10 million would do it. Then maybe buy a nice dual sport bike, GS1200 fully decked out..but maybe too soon for that.. Play some high stakes poker. Hire two of the...

    Need substitute for running.

    This. I had trouble with my knees and lower back after doing a fair amount of running, and started using trail running sneakers Instead(montrail) for pavement running...my pain went away and haven't come back. I find that while a little heavier, they provide much more cushion. But I did do a...

    Steve Jobs was quoted as saying this about lottery..

    paraphrasing... 'I don't usually play lotto, but whenever I do play, I always choose the numbers 1,2,3,4,5 and 6; those numbers have the same chance of hitting than any random quick pick...which kinda shows the idiocy of playing'..

    US ranked 26th in global Internet speed, South Korea number one

    The current low speeds per dollar in the US is probably from Comcast, Verizon and the like to allow for 'room for future growth', slowly offering slightly higher speeds using tiered pricing. Fucking MBA's sit in a room and think these scams up.

    Car got towed... They charged $125 BS fees... Can I take this to small claims?

    Towing companies are usually in bed with local law enforcement. Once you're in their crosshairs, get ready to bend over.

    Can you finish a 20 piece KFC hot wings?

    Tried yesterday and couldn't. Kinda too grossed out to finish three more. In another story, a friend boasted how he bought 50 Mcnuggets for $9.99...and ate 40 in one sitting. Can anyone top that? Calculated the calories as 1990cals, 3600mg sodium.

    Criticize my just launched website...

    I don't mind the colors and top bar, the three center images are too big and undeveloped.. A little blurb expounding on each would help clarify quickly what's going on.

    do you sometimes get crazy thoughts in your head?

    Sometimes while I drive I wonder what would happen if I cut the wheel 'nao!', what would happen. Totally ridiculous mental exercise but one thing I noticed is that these crazy thoughts occur when my mind is basically idle, i.e., not working or doing a specific task. It is true, idle hands are...

    do you sometimes get crazy thoughts in your head?

    Violent hypotheticals are normal I think. I sometimes have these weird fantasies about a post apocalyptic world, and me armed to the teeth with .50 rifles and Uzis picking off 'bad guys'...but that's has different origins than simply punching someone in the face.

    Truman High School football star killed for a bottle of cologne

    He's getting wrecked on those pages. Lots of the comments are totally racist and should be taken down but the overall sentiment is a thumbs up on the final result.

    What causes pregnancy?

    I wonder if the prolifers would change their tune if the world population continues on it's upward spike and there's no more resources left. Maybe then, the prolifers would do us all a favor and kill themselves for the good if the world.
