Is anybody else using windows 8? I have had it for about 2 weeks now, and it is a gigantic nightmare for me. I'm just curious if I am just old and stupid or if anyone else has experienced the same feelings.

I grew up with Kung Fu theater and loved every minute of it. All time favorites were 5 Deadly Venoms and drunken master. If this isn't limited to strictly Kung Fu movies, anything with Sonny Chiba and all those cool Samurai movies like Ninja Wars and Shogun Assassin were great!

Well Said.

I agree! The only one I can remember reading was Angels and Demons and I remember that it just seemed okay to me. Sort of blah, bestseller stuff. But not that terrible! I think his success has placed his writing squarely under the microscope and I guess under that type of scrutiny his writing...

:rofl

My brother sent this to me today. I laughed so hard my co-worker looked at me funny. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/10049454/Dont-make-fun-of-renowned-Dan-Brown.html

By the nature of the law, as long as Zimmerman thought that his life was in danger, he was well within his rights to shoot Martin. So, the jury really couldn't convict him of manslaughter either.

I heard there is a crack team of redneck Michigan ice fisherman headed up there to try and catch an ichtyosaurus.

:rofl

I concur. Some similar version of that is probably how it went down. It's funny, I remember how me and my friends were at 17. We were very much like Martin. We all smoked weed, listened to NWA, sagged our pants and in general acted pretty bad. If someone would have run up on me at that age...

Well.... I agree and I don't. I don't think racism is going to be a valid excuse for people any longer, but to pretend it doesn't exist isn't realistic either. I seriously wonder if the kid had been white, if Zimmerman would have even followed him. It's a valid question...

I saw this on the news! No more big gulps for the big apple? I do happen to like the idea of menus with calorie information on them though. I don't know if it is going to help people who aren't actively trying to improve their health but it is a neat perk for people who are conscious of that...

Kennedy Half Dollars? 1964?

Very true. I definitely enjoyed it, I didn't know what it was about going into it and for a while I found Mersault's detachment extremely humorous. Actually laughed out loud in several places. Then it went somewhere else and it took me a moment to adjust. All in all, a pretty brilliant literary...

The Stranger - Albert Camus Interesting story. Hard to give it a star rating. Still sort of processing what it meant...

Well. I don't know what to think about the verdict. From the standpoint of justice, I think something should have happened to Zimmerman. Not saying murder conviction necessarily. But, if his ignorant butt wouldn't have followed Martin after being told not to by the police, Martin wouldn't have...

I never got around to reading anything else by Simmons. I just remember the whole time I was reading The Terror I was thinking "This would make a great movie...."

Just saw that The Terror is being made into a movie! By Ridley Scott! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2708480/

I wouldn't say I'm on pins and needles, but I am pretty interested. We haven't had a good race riot in this country in a while..... :eatpop

Well, that says it. You are apparently convinced. I could play the role and parrot the view that shared genetic information points to design as much as to evolution. And we could probably have a discussion about that too. But.... I think the argument comes down to faith. Your faith is in what...
