It didn't kill it, but it sure as hell embarrassed it.
So I came along with my family who went out to the beach the other day along with uncle Allen, a ways from there was a fishing spot and uncle Allen loves fishing (he even got his own gears with him xD ). I came along with him out of curiosity and asked him to let me try, I caught something big but it pulled me and I fell right into the water. I didn't get hurt or anything (unless you count my dignity >.>) just ended up with wet cloths and probably something uncle Allen will laugh at for weeks.
On a completely different subject, I won't be on as much (if ever) this week. I got the whole week booked with quizzes so I gotta concentrate and study for them and I'll be too busy, try not to miss me too much.

"A life is a life, doesn't matter who or what you are."
A dog was hailed as a hero on Sunday after it risked its life to save a litter of newborn kittens from a house fire, rescuers said.
In a case which gives the lie to the saying about 'fighting like cats and dogs', the terrier cross named Leo had to be revived with oxygen and heart massage after his ordeal. Fire broke out overnight at the house in Australia's southern city of Melbourne, where he was guarding the kittens.
Fire fighters who revived Leo said he refused to leave the building and was found by them alongside the litter of kittens, despite thick smoke.
"Leo wouldn't leave the kittens and it nearly cost him his life," fire service Commander Ken Brown told reporters.
The four kittens also survived the fire and Sunday Leo, who fire fighters nicknamed 'Smoky', was again back at the house.

Let me tell you all a story, a story of a kid who was 10 years old and went by the name "that kid".
That kid looked like any other kid you might see on your daily life and had no special features what so ever, but there was just something a bit....different about that kid. One day, that kid's grandma (or "Nana" as that kid used to call her) came to the house to visit that kid's mother, Nana used to tell stories and often old jokes when she came to visit. All of that kid's sisters gathered up around nana while that kid was watching TV. That kid overheard Nana asking the sisters "Why did the chicken cross the road?",and while the sisters were thinking that kid approached Nana and said "I'm curious, why did the chicken cross the road? was it to run from something, or maybe someone? did the chicken had any chicks with her, or was she alone with her husband? was she maybe running from the police, or even the FBI? did she steal something? and why did she even attempt such a dangerous thing as crossing the road? why not hitch a ride or atleast dig her way through? how about you and I get together over a cup of coffee and unravel this mystery, hmm?" that kid smiled innocently.
Nana didn't know what to say, the young sisters were looking at that kid with a confused look. "Honey, would you...call your mother for me?" Nana asked that kid "sure thing." that kid went and called for mother, she and Nana talked for sometime while every other girls including that kid went to bed since it was pretty late. That kid could still hear Nana and mother talking, didn't know what they were talking about, nor did that kid care. That kid innocently fell asleep after that.
That kid grew up , and now has a job and goes to college, but at a certain point while in the shower that kid (not so little anymore though) remembered that event in the past and thought of posting it....here on GS.
Oh,and Nana never told "road crossing chicken jokes" ever since.

Quick: what's Birdo? Dude thing, or lady thing? Upcoming Wii game Captain Rainbow seeks to capitalise on this confusion by making Birdo the centre of one of your first quests. Birdo needs your help getting "her" out of jail, after the fuzz - convinced she's a he - lock her up for using the women's bathroom. And the only way you can get her out?
Go find some "evidence that I'm a woman"
Which of course means going to her house. Then finding that her pillow's vibrating. Then lifting up the pillow to find...something. Whatever it is, it's censored, but it's under her pillow, it's vibrating, then you get a little message saying "Proof that the owner is a woman".
That's.....wrong on so many levels. xD
Here is the artical if you wanna know more, or just wanna get a really good laugh.

"Do it or I'll shoot!"
Authorities say a Fort Myers man shot himself in the arm after his girlfriend refused to have sex with him. The Lee County Sheriff's Office reported that a 29-year-old man and his girlfriend returned home from a bar early Wednesday morning.
The girlfriend told deputies that her boyfriend wanted to get intimate, but she just wanted to go to sleep. When she refused, he became irate.
Authorities said the girlfriend went to a spare bedroom, and several minutes later she heard two gunshots. She told deputies her boyfriend came into her room and threatened her. He then stumbled into the kitchen before falling into the oven, knocking himself unconscious.
The man was treated for two gunshot wounds to the arm and was taken to jail.
The man was charged with threatening violence and firing a weapon in an occupied dwelling. He was being held on $100,000 bail.
...Is this guy for real? O.o

"How about a double scoop of mama's milk?"

Mooove over, Holsteins. PETA wants world-famous Ben & Jerry's Homemade Ice Cream to tap nursing moms, rather than cows, for the milk used in its ice cream.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is asking the ice cream maker to begin using breast milk in its products instead of cow's milk, saying it would reduce the suffering of cows and calves and give ice cream lovers a healthier product.
The idea got a cool reception Thursday from Ben & Jerry's officials, the company's customers and even La Leche League International, the world's oldest breast-feeding support organization, which promotes the practice — for babies, anyway.
PETA wrote a letter to company founders Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield on Tuesday, telling them cow's milk is hazardous and that milking them is cruel.
"If Ben and Jerry's replaced the cow's milk in its ice cream with breast milk, your customers — and cows — would reap the benefits," wrote Tracy Reiman, executive vice president of the animal rights advocacy group. She said dairy products have been linked to juvenile diabetes, allergies and obesity.
Personally, I find that ridicules, awkward and somewhat offensive. -_-

With what? SW:TFU.
It was fun at first ,still is kinda, and the story looked awesome, but I wouldn't know, the gameplay was too annoying for me to let me enjoy the story. I finished my review on it, be sure to check it out for those who didn't get the game yet and wanna know how I truly feel about this game. It was fun, but I'm fairly disappointed.
Anyways, going back to our usual broadcast.

World's Bigger Bunny:
Herman could be 'world's biggest bunny' A man has been showing off his gigantic rabbit named Herman.
The mighty bunny weighs a massive 7.7kg, and his ears are a lengthy 21cm - almost as long as most pet rabbits are tall. And he is almost 1m tall.
The German Giant is even big for his breed, which usually tip the scales at around 6kg.
Herman lives in a specially built solid oak hutch and chomps his way through just over 2kg of food a day. His owner says his favourite snack is lettuce.
The giant bunny, who lives in Berlin with owner Hans Wagner, also takes a vitamin supplement to keep him healthy, and munches through a bale of hay a week.
Herman could be the world's biggest rabbit, but Guinness World Records have stopped accepting entries because of fears people were over-feeding their pets.
German Giants do not exist in the wild, and have been developed by breeders.
They can live for as long as 12 years.

Cries for help inside a Trenton, N.J., home turned out to be for the birds. Neighbors called police Wednesday morning after hearing a woman's persistent cry of "Help me! Help me!" coming from a house. Officers arrived and when no one answered the door, they kicked it in to make a rescue.But instead of a damsel in distress, officers found a caged cockatoo with a convincing call.
It wasn't the first time the 10-year-old bird named Luna said something that brought authorities to the home of owner Evelyn DeLeon.
About seven years ago, the bird cried like a baby for hours, leading to reports of a possible abandoned baby and a visit to the home by state child welfare workers. But it was only Luna practicing a newfound sound, DeLeon says.
DeLeon says her bird learns much of her ever-growing vocabulary from watching television, in both English and Spanish.
Me: Who wouldn't want to have a cockatoo who makes the authorities come and kick your house door and wake you up in the morning? it's the next best thing since toast!
....well, maybe not.

Police in Japan have been left red-faced by an apparent murder that turned out to be an unusual case of mistaken identity.
It began in the morning with a frantic call from a couple who had spotted a "corpse" while out walking their dog in a mountain forest in Izu, central Japan, the ZakZak news website reported today.
Fifteen officers were dispatched to the scene, where they discovered a human form wrapped in plastic and tightly bound around the neck, midriff and ankles, with hair protruding from one end.
The body was left untouched and taken away for examination, and the crime scene duly secured by a police cordon.
Back at the local police headquarters, officials notified reporters who had turned up early the same morning to cover an annual earthquake drill. They began preparing to write up the launch of a major murder investigation.
Dozens of extra officers were dispatched to interview potential witnesses, while the evening edition of the local newspaper carried a report of the gruesome find, complete with a photograph of the body's resting place.
By mid-afternoon, the body was in the hands of police pathologists. But when they sliced open the wrapping, they were confronted not by a decomposing corpse, but by a life-sized sex doll.
A police spokesman apologised for the commotion but defended his officers, saying they had simply been following protocol by leaving the concealed "body" untouched until it was in the hands of pathologists.
Though no crime had been committed, the spokesman could not resist admonishing the doll's mystery owner. The doll, he told bemused reporters, showed signs of repeated use.
"Our guess is that the owner didn't want to take a risk by throwing it away with the rest of his rubbish," he said. "It was an incredibly irresponsible thing to do."
Moral of the day: don't throw the blow-up doll with the garbage next time
I find it ironic, since Japan is supposed to be one of the smartest countries in the world.

ROME (Reuters) - An Italian museum Thursday defied Pope Benedict and refused to remove a modern art sculpture portraying a crucified green frog holding a beer mug and an egg that the Vatican had condemned as blasphemous.The board of the Museion museum in the northern city of Bolzano decided by a majority vote that the frog was a work of art and would stay in place for the remainder of an exhibition.
The wooden sculpture by the late German artist Martin Kippenberger depicts a frog about 1 meter 30 cm (4 feet) high nailed to brown cross and holding a beer mug in one outstretched hand and an egg in another.
Called "Zuerst die Fuesse," (Feet First), it wears a green loin cloth and is nailed through the hands and the feet in the manner of Jesus Christ. Its green tongue hangs out of its mouth.
Kippenberger's works have been shown at the Tate Modern and the Saatchi Gallery in London and at the Venice Biennale, and retrospectives are planned in Los Angeles and New York.
Museum officials in the northern bi-lingual Alto Adige region near the Austrian border said the artist, who died in 1997, considered it a self-portrait illustrating human angst.
Pope Benedict, who is German himself and was recently on holiday not far from Bolzano, obviously did not agree.
The Vatican wrote a letter of support in the pope's name to Franz Pahl, president of the regional government who opposed the sculpture. Pahl released parts of the letter, which said the work "wounds the religious sentiments of so many people who see in the cross the symbol of God's love."
Pahl, whose province is heavily Catholic, was so outraged by the sculpture of the pop-eyed amphibian that he went on a hunger strike to demand its removal and had to be taken to hospital during the summer.
"Surely this is not a work of art but a blasphemy and a disgusting piece of trash that upsets many people," Pahl told Reuters by telephone.
"This decision to keep the statue there is is totally unacceptable. It is a grave offence to our Catholic population," he said.
Art experts defended the work.
"Art must always be free and the artist should not have any restrictions on freedom of expression," Claudio Strinati, a superintendent for Rome's state museums, told an Italian newspaper Thursday.It appears the number of sane people in the world decreases by the minute, but I gotta say....this kept me laughing for hours!

Have you longed to indulge in a Yorkshire Pudding on a hot summer's day?

Then a new range of 20 ice creams created with Britain's best-known delicacies may be the ones for you.
Ranging from Yorkshire pudding flavour to Arbroath smokies, the ice creams are designed to get British taste buds working.
Morelli's ice cream parlour at London store Harrods made the ice creams after Laterooms.com polled 500 people to pick flavours that best represented the UK.
Other Flavours included things like Clotted cream, Sausage and mash, Pork pie, haggis, Cornish pasty, Cheddar cheese flavour and Lancashire hot pot .

Less palate-testing varieties are Eccles cake and Kendal mint cake.
Kathy Gwinnett, of Laterooms.com, said: "It is interesting that the humble Yorkshire pudding tops the list of favourite British delicacies.
"We're lucky to be spoilt for choice and the massive array of regional flavours that make up the taste of Britain shows just how much the UK has to offer."
And just when you thought they couldn't create a more bizarre food mix, people never cease to amaze me.

The story:
In Linden Texas, officer Sheerry Gillepsie makes her routine traffic stop when the driver, Andrew Gray, suddenly starts to leave the scene. Gillepsie stops the suspect and soon realise he's got a warrant. but he's also high on crack, and won't go back to jail without a fight. he tried to get hold of her gun and succeeded. The cop almost get herself killed during this arrest, but the gun doesn´t work, much to her luck.
That's when a civilian named Pat Coughlan comes in and takes the crackhead by surprise and takes the gun away from him, and not only that but a passing large woman came and pinned (yes, she actually sat on him
) the crackhead to the ground.The arrest went on without a hitch and not one was hurt, except the crackhead's pride
Some people on youtube said mean things like "That wouldn't have happened if it was a man" and "Go back to your kitchen, woman!" but I disagree, that could've happend with anyone and gender has nothing to do with it.

After Ted and Valerie Rock's son posted a photo of their smoke-colored cat, Yoda, on a Web site, the four-eared feline turned into an instant Internet celebrity. The Rocks have been inundated with television offers and media inquiries.
-----
The owners of Yoda — a cat with four ears — could use a couple of extra hands to answer their telephones.
Ted and Valerie Rock said they've been inundated with television offers and media inquiries since their son posted a photo of their smoke-colored cat on a Web site. That turned the four-eared feline from a suburban animal oddity into an instant Internet celebrity.
The Rocks, from the Chicago suburb of Downers Grove, have fielded calls from "Good Morning America," "Fox News" and "The Tyra Banks Show." The cat's photo has graced the London Guardian and a British tabloid. The Daily Mail said if Batman had a cat, it would be Yoda.
"It's amazing," Ted Rock said. "For the past few days, our phone has just been ringing off the hook."
Yoda's extra ears give him a hint of a devilish appearance. The Rocks said they found him in 2006 while watching a Chicago Bears game at a Blue Island bar.
Some in the bar were passing the then-eight-week old kitten around, making fun of his extra set of ears, mocking his appearance and calling him names such as "Devil Cat" and "Beelzebub."
It wasn't quite love at first sight, but the Rocks felt sorry for the cat and offered to adopt the kitten from the bar's owner, who kept the animal caged atop the bar for his customers' amusement.

What do people see in your eyes?

People see calmness in your eyes. You like to keep cool in a crisis. You know that if you don't panic, things will be worked out much quicker and with fewer hitches. People probably end up feeling less worried when they are around you. You've got a good attitude. Keep it up.

Wood Element:
Those under the dominated by the Wood element are people of high morals and great confidence. They know the intrinsic value of things and are apt to appreciate all that they have. Their interests are wide and varied and this makes them interesting company. They are systematic in their thinking and possess executive personalities. Their expansive and co-operative natures will allow them to do things on a large scale. Wood element people like to spread their wings and diversify to as many areas as possible. They are individuals who see renewal and growth as important aspects in life. They are unselfish and will share whatever recognition or rewards they receive as they believe in team effort. They will find support and finances whenever in need. This is because others have faith in their business acumen and abilities. Their main shortcoming is that they tend to take on more than they can handle. They may not finish what they start if they spread themselves out too thinly. They must learn to work within manageable limits. Also, wood people tend to be too conciliatory and will look for the easiest way out. At their worst, they can be inconstant and passive. They can also lean too much on others for support. To be effective, they must be more persuasive and assertive. Only then, can they turn their dreams into reality.(Me: Woah, great wall of text! )

Life is all about balance. Darkness can't be without light, and light can't be without darkness. You see everything through different angles to gain perspective over situations. You act rather rational and people can find you stiff and/or emotionless due to this. Life is not really that good to you, yet it's not so bad. Like everything else, you need to balance it in order to find peace.

Well, it's about time I get to say my opinion about the new GS beta after it gone live, I have to say it's not so bad, its all wider and have all these shortcuts on the left of you're home page, but its still a bit hard to get used to...it's like an eyesore to me really.
What do you guys think of the GS beta now that it's gone live and is officially used?
I'm changing my theme a bit, but for some reason GS beta won't change the avi no matter how many times I refresh...I wonder why, does it take time or something?
EDIT: Never mind, it showed up
Oh and any designers here can help me by making me a new banner? please? pretty please?

I was at work the other day, and I was bored to death and just started randomly thinking of my life so far and the decisions I've done,if I think about I wasted alot of my time on things that were pretty useless but I also did things I would never regreat because I did enjoy.
So, I have two questions for you:
1-If you could change anything in the past, what would it be?
2-If you could wish for one thing, what would it be? (No wishing for more wishs or I'll ask the waffles man to devour your souls....and cookies)
I'll keep my own answers to myself, they're kind of personal

Yes, I'm fully aware how stupid the title sounds
My sister's birthday was this week, I had no idea what to bring her as a gift for her 10th birthday because I have no idea what she'd like. I went to the mall, hopefully to find something nice that she doesn't own already.
I found a pet shop, coincidentally I was just looking for one to get some cat food for my cat and I found this adorable little brown-ish bunny, I asked the shop keeper and he said that she was just a 36 days old (!). So I though "Hey, that just might be what she'd like!" and she was too cute for me just to leave her there (Yeah, so I'm a bit softie, sue me).It didn't cost much either which is good for me since I'm saving for a few things.
When her birthday came around and she opened all the presents and got to mine she shook it "Hey...I hear something...what's inside?" I just made a big grin and told her to open it and see, when she opend it she went "*gasp!* aww he's so cute!" so I told her it's a she
she loved it, but my dad didn't
he hates animals, beginning with my cat
Mom told me to help her raise it which I was planning to anyways.We stil haven't named her though, which is why I mentioned all that (probably boring) details, I want you all to help me give her a name,just throw names at me. random, cute, funny...just gimme names!
Oh and here is a pic of the bunny:

Sorry for the bad quality, she's too hyper for her own good and ended up sleeping in the bathroom, I had to sneak up on her and get a pic with my cellphone

Yeah! I got a Death note, fear me!
for anyone who doesn't know what a death note is, its a fictional book that, if you wrote a person's name on it and pictured their face, dies basically. its just for fun really, probably gonna collect the dust sooner or later but it was cheap. another good news is that I fixed my 360, now I can finally play Soul Caliber IV!
I also joined Giantbomb out of boredom, pretty fun I gotta admit. If anyone is on there than you can add me there too, you can probably guess my username.
I also found some interesting incidents surrounding the Death Note on Wikipedia, some of them are the first time I heard of them O.o here.
Imitations:
- On September 28, 2007, two notes stating "Watashi wa Kira dess" (a more phonetic spelling of "Watashi wa Kira desu," meaning "I am Kira" in Japanese) were found near the unidentified remains of a Caucasian male in Belgium. Nothing was found on or near the victim besides these two notes. Belgian police are investigating the matter further.- A senior at the Franklin Military Academy in Richmond, Virginia was suspended after being caught possessing a replica Death Note notebook with the names of fellow students.
- In South Carolina in 2008, school officials seized a Death Note notebook from a Hartsville Middle School student. District officials linked the notebook to the anime/manga. The notebook listed seven students' names. The school planned a disciplinary hearing and contacted the seven students' parents. The principal, Chris Roger, sent letters to all the students' parents saying "Regardless of the origin of the book, we take the situation very seriously. The safety of our school family is always our top priority. We treat situations like this the same as if a student called in a bomb threat or brought a weapon to school. While there may not be any serious intent to do anyone harm, we cannot and will not take that chance with our students. We will take all steps necessary to ensure our students' well-being."
- In Gadsden, Alabama, two 12-year-old sixth grade boys were arrested for possessions of Death Notes that listed names of several staff members and fellow students. According to Etowah County Sheriff's Department Sgt. Lanny Handy, the notebook was found the previous afternoon by a staffer. The students were suspended from the county's schools. The students, their parents, and school officials had met with Handy and a junior probation officer.
- In Gig Harbor, Washington, one middle school student was expelled and three were suspended on May 14, 2008 for having their own Death Note books. A father of one of the students said that the notebook was "an outlet for frustration from about two years of bullying."
