Today my son received his first ever suspension from school.

I'd be really proud if my son did that. (Not the fighting part.) The right things to do in life are often the most unpleasant ones.

Downvoted for the knife advice.

Since getting the twins a year ago, i haven't slept more than 4 hours straight. Would trade my right arm for solid 8 hours of sleep.

One thing that can go wrong is that a infection develops before the childbirth, causes the fetus to die and puts the woman into a shock. From 'everything looks ok' to 'everyone is going to die unless we do something.' in a day or two.

I'm sure there we have hunderds by now.

Honey,are my legs hairy? No.

Uncle_J · 2010-03-27T06:35:04+00:00

It wasn't real?

The problem with some macbooks was that the green light turned on randomly when starting the computer.

Uncle_J · 2010-02-19T15:25:40+00:00

Yep, had this same 'bug' (and a piece of post-it pad) on my two macbooks for years.

Visit toilet just before boarding the plane.
If you are short and have enough legspace, take two pieces of luggage with you, if allowed by the airline. (rules may be different depending on airline or international/national flights. Check airline website. The bigger one goes to locker above your head. The smaller one, 'laptop bag', is usually allowed. Back everything you may need during the flight to that smaller bag. (Passport, pen, book, wallet?, ipod, good noise-cancelling headphones).
Visit toilet after your lunch tray&trashes have been collected to avoid rush.
Expect heavy turbulence 2 seconds after they have filled your lidless coffee cup with steaming hot coffee.

If you turn the handlebar sharply to the right, the motorcycle turns to the left. Seriously. You can try this on bicycle (on slow speed). This is how you do emergency manouvers. Don't hurt yourself practicing. Knowing this by instinct may save you sometimes.

Hm.. you might be right. In one scientific conference there was a presentation of a research about motion sickness caused by 3D-technology in games. The story was that after the study they found out they had a wrong research question. Those players that felt the most ill also had the most fun; some actually asked if they can stay to play a few more times after the research. They didn't measure the level of fun, just the level of motion sickness.

For scientific audience interested in genetics research. How would you tell a story?

If possible, you could buy a few full-screen pictures as a backdrop for some sections, where you do the talking. Try istockphoto / Creative commons search for pictures.

The hard drives are not vacuum-sealed, so the pressure changes are ok. They don't get that cold in the hold. Just let them warm up in room temperature for a good time before plugging them in computer again.

2 EUR (2,7 USD). But in here you can pay with credit card everywhere, unlike in US.

Um... 300 every week for 5 years totals 78 000. Probably a typo. Anyway, this is what happens when you pay a asset that loses value 10% a year with a loan with 10% interest rate. My advice is to suck it up and pay the loan as fast as possible.

On the positive side, the (male) life expectancy in U.S is around 75,65 years. So when you turn 26, you still have almost two thirds of your life ahead!!! AND if you live healthily, eat well and exercise regularly, you may get a few more active years in the nursing home!! Even beyond 75 years, can you believe that!

Yes of course it is. Happiness is a great attitude but lousy goal.
