Hi
Guru when's your last exam, or are you already done? My last day is now the 19th, so it's all good.
Been playing Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic recently and I think it's quite good. Unforunately it's only a single player game, but still, this is probably one of the best RPGs I've played on PC... then again I don't play that many.
p.s. DC library sucks.

I have no idea what the heck that song is talking about (in your first link), but it's pretty catchy. Blah blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah, fuckin USA! blah blah blah blah...
What farting/pointing story? The time I farted in Stella's face and laughed like a little kid? I think it's a good thing if you tell people you're going to fart before you do it so you give them a chance to leave the room if they want. It's like some guy saying "I am going to explode in 2 minutes", I would appreciate that warning if I was in the same room as the guy.

Propaganda Tank
Actually finding the largest prime number is important for digital security. RSA depends on factorization and prime numbers. The way they found that number is by distributed computing, so it's not a resource hog.
Fresh off the propaganda wagon, I've got this, and this for you. It's funny or disturbing, depending on your sense of humor. It makes you wonder what will happen if the American economy/power shows any sign of weakness.
No offence, but thank god I'm not from north Korean. That kind of stuff can really mess you up. If you clicked on the 2nd link, I'm sure you'll find the demi god message creepy. I mean this kind of crap goes all the way back to the Roman empire, specifically Caligula. I only mention Caligula because he was the only one crazy enough to install a horse into the roman senate. I've also only heard about things like how Kim Jon Ji invented flight in some children's books (FYI, if any one can get their hands on that book, I'd gladly pay for it).
I've been living in the library for the past week or so. My roommates? Dinu, Stella, Alyssa, Trevis, Des, Jerry, Warren, Ryan... and the list goes on. It's really bad, because I spend more time in the library than I do anywhere else, including my bed. Dinu has my respect because he spent 24 hours in the library on principle. Not because he had to study, but because he told us he was going to do it.
Do you notice that when you start sentences off with "No offense but, ..." it's generally offensive. It's also terrible writing and spoken style. I guess an analogy would be, announcing that your going to fart, then farting. (oh yes Jason, I heard the "pointing/farting" story from Stella, how could you do that to your mother??) I'm quite aware that I did the "no offense" crime. It's only a testament to my shitty writing style.
I think I'm all out.

Oh... it's so painful...
Looking back at the 1996 NBA draft, Toronto had pick number 2... they used that pick to acquire fuckin Marcus Camby. Look who else they could have got:
4'th Pick: Stephon Marbury
5'th Pick: Ray Allen
6'th Pick: Antoine Walker
8'th Pick: Kerry Kittles
10'th Pick: Erick Dampier
13'th Pick: Kobe Bryant
14'th Pick: Pregrag Stojakovic
15'th Pick: Steve Nash
17'th Pick: Jermaine O'Neal
20'th Pick: Zydrunas Ilgauskas
Oh my... we could have had any of these players and we took Marcus Camby... it's so painful...
(AI went first overall that year)

Human Beings
From CNN:
DETROIT, Michigan (AP) -- More than 200,000 computers spent years looking for the largest known prime number. It turned up on Michigan State University graduate student Michael Shafer's off-the-shelf PC.
Well, like me, you're probably wondering why anyone would spend all those resources trying to find the largest prime number in the world. I did a little research the discovered the following passage:
The answer to the age old question "what is the meaning of life" lies in the discovery of the largest prime number that exists. Discover that, and you will discover the true meaning of life.
Right...

The nerve! Of course the americans are sincere!
Relatives of four Canadian soldiers killed in Afghanistan by an American bomb accepted Bronze Star medals from the United States yesterday during a ceremony before more than 700 troops. For some it will also mark the pain of losing loved ones on that night in April, 2002, when a U.S. fighter jet mistakenly bombed Canadian troops during a military exercise. Eight other soldiers were wounded.
Claire and Richard Leger, Marc's parents (one of the soldiers killed), declined to attend the ceremony. While Claire Leger is pleased Canadian soldiers are receiving some recognition, she questions the motives of the U.S. government.
"Do you really think they would receive a medal if it wasn't for the screwed-up job (the Americans) did when they were out there? I doubt it. I think it's damage control," she said from Stittsville, Ont.
None of the Canadian soldiers injured in the bombing received Bronze Stars.
