<t>Touching another person without their permission is rude at best, assault at worst. I don't know where the thinking that a pregnant woman's belly is public property came from, but I socked a guy who put his hand on me when I was pregnant. Total stranger. Just out of nowhere, put his hand on my be...

I've got a list five pages long of the movies I want to see. I grew up in a denominaton that views the cinema as a tool of the devil, so my cultural education desperately needs expanding in this arena.

Yep. I didn't notice it much, just a couple of times. I don't think it happened everywhere. I only noticed it on the page that you see after you click on the highlighted card, within the explanation.

Erinna1112

<t>Nitpick - there's a misspelling on the "shuffle the cards" page...it's "highlighted," not "hightlighted." Also, in some places, the ASCII code is showing, rather than the character that the code is supposed to display. The functionality was great, and the explanations clear....

I've heard the author of this book rips off everyone from Anne McCaffrey to Tolkein ... have you read the book and is it any good? I much prefer to read the book before seeing the movie.

Nancy Grace is a slavering harpy who shouldn't be allowed near a newsroom. She's not an anchor, she's a commentator.

And, in this case, she was WRONG.

Erinna1112

Yup, I got a 21. I wouldn't use the free Internet, I'd redo my taxes (but only because I do them online so it wouldn't be hard), and I wouldn't keep the keys to the boss's office...but I'd probably blame the lamp on the cat, and drive away from the dinged car.

#13 probably wasn't Elvis, considering Elvis was alive in 1971 (he died in 1977). I think it's The Big Bopper, Richie Valens, and Buddy Holly, who all died in a plane crash on February 3, 1959.

The Lone Ranger left a silver bullet behind, didn't he?
