The Brain

Women want me. Men want to be with me.

Maybe people should just stick to commemorating the post count(just passed 50k) as it's consistent.  :hmm:

Things I could have read instead of this thread:

-War and Peace
-An old school encylopedia
-Ulysses (including the breaks taken due to boredom)
-the Bible (including breaks to repent for my sins)
-Saint Augustine's Confessions, in the original Latin (including time spent learning Latin)
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

There is an interesting vibe in the City today.  There are 50k tickets sold for the US Nigeria game.  Many American fans are walking around carrying flags and wearing team colors (I misspelled the word for the occasion).  Not many Nigerian fans around.

Anyone know anything about getting a drivers license as an adult in VA?
The DMV's website says you can either get a learner's permit, then pass the driving test 60 days later; or pass a driver's education course, then pass the driving test. However, all of the driving schools I've tried contacting tell me say my wife needs to get her permit first, or even get her permit then wait 60 days, before taking their courses. If they say anything at all.  <_<

To get the learner's permit, she probably just needs to pass the test on signs.

Hmm, I looked closer at the requirements, and she does have to pass the class "while holding the permit." Bad reading skills on my part.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Outrageous. If Denmark is included Greenland isn't not included.

If Greenland was included they might have to knock Denmark and Canada down a peg. :shifty:

BTW, how is the state of peace in Ukraine higher than in Russia?  :hmm:
