My mum just siad the Bible mentions the European Union and how they will own everything.

... What the fuck?

And god said,

"LET THERE BE SOCIALISM!"

Someone go say this to the crazy religious people, seems like it would be interesting to see what happen.

[Angel Of Death]

Is this the same mom that believes in psychics and tried to get you to do so too? Or am I remembering the story wrong?

Yep.

It's on my bucket list, now.

Always remember children: Arguing that Jesus held to socialist (or at least what the right generally perceives as socialist) ideals is very, very easy, and supported in scripture.

So apparently an 800 on the SAT Math II subject test is an 88th percentile, and a 750 is a 76th percentile on the Physics test.

Edit: It's a 200-800 scale

The GREs are similar. I think I missed two questions in the mathematics section, and I believe I wound up with an 80th percentile score. I missed far more points in the other sections, but still wound up with a 98th and 99th percentile score. And with less than an hour of studying, too. Mwa ha ha.

Incidentally, the GREs are pretty easy. The Subject tests are another matter, depending on your area.

I was a total dork as a kid, for numerous reasons. One of them was playing video games. Now I see everyone doing that. Apparently, Angry Birds is cool along with a million other games.... I can't help but remember doing this way before it was cool....

I'm gonna go back to organizing stuff now.... All the cool kids do, or at least we're all gonna pretend they do, I mean ... we do....

[Bdthemag]

I turn on my Ipod, and then see its apparently disabled for 8 years.

What the fuck, why does all of this kind of shit happen to me.

I happen to be in the perfect position to test this out.

As long as it doesn't put you in a hard spot, Akura.

Try plugging it in to your PC; that works for when dicks lock up people's iPhones by repeatedly putting in the wrong code, I think.

Me too.  The only video games that were not considered nerdy when I was a kid were sports games.

This is far, far less crazy than it sounds. One element of Biblical prophecy regarding the End Times is that the nations of Earth will unite under "Babylon," which will then fall under the control of the Beast, which will bring the people under tight control to destroy the worship of El Shaddai. (Note that this particular interpretation is primarily found among American Protestant groups. Catholic doctrine, for example, holds that the passages in question refer to the Roman Empire.)

    The EU, which is composed of many nations that were previously mortal enemies, that is (to an American viewpoint) relatively friendly to government regulation, and includes several nations which used to be officially and virulently atheist has become the most commonly cited candidate for this role since the Soviet Union fell and the UN was revealed to be essentially powerless. It's still not all that scripturally sound an argument, but it isn't as far out there as it appears at first look.

Man that was a ridiculous final turn.  How could I even do this legally.  Our Yugioh games never ended this crazily.

Come to think of it I had a mana spare to play Llanowar Elves (and thus get another 5 tokens).

That sound you're hearing? That's giggling from across the pond. We're a sign of the end times, guys! Especially hilarious in light of recent financial shenanigans. Of course, it may quickly turn to weeping if the cascade spreads to Italy because the third largest economy in the EU going splat would be...ow.
