uselesspowers your body temperature is 98.6 on AVERAGE. if it is not exactly this then you shouldn't necessarily be concerned. your body temperature will fluxuate, although i would say variables more than 5 degrees (up or down) should cause some concern. I don't know what...

uselesspowers Well, the circumstance wasn't funny because it led to you having a broken car window (which would have pissed me off). The note however, was very funny. I wonder if the original note you left actually drew them into wanting to break into your car more. Maybe...

Does it stand for "People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals" as its members claim, or should it be more like "People for Endangerment, Terror and Abuse"? If PETA is so concerned with animals living long and healthy lives, why...

uselesspowers Welcome to the world of obviously skewed and ridiculous causes. You're right, the only thing more ridiculous than their dogma is the hypocritical way in which they practice it. Yeah, don't hunt and eat animals, but it's okay to mow them down with a combine in...

uselesspowers it's completely free of viruses (knock on wood). it does have a little to do with stability, but the major reason is because windows is much more popular than any other OS. unfortunately, the viruses come with the popularity. Windows is probably used by nearly...

uselesspowers I too have seen this guy's advertising all of the web and have also read his site. Unfortunately I was in the same boat as you, being skeptical because I didn't want to get "had" by someone. Especially by someone so snobby (even though I'm sure it's just an...

uselesspowers I don't know what America thinks, but I think you are making a gross generalization. If and when I have kids, I will certainly punish them, spank them, etc. And I'm an American, so I guess that throws your opinion out the window. On that topic though, I'm sure...
