I just got my card for the Selective Service (USA's draft) today. I registered six years ago.

Also, my uncle just found two bullets in the wood he was splitting. They were completely intact and facing down towards the ground (Like, if the tree were still intact, the bullets would be pointing straight down).

So either they were shot from a helicopter, or the tree's growth caused the bullets to shift downwards?

My dump stat is endurance. Hey, don't look at me like that, martial arts rounds are only three minutes. What more does a guy need?

I often spar for 10+ minutes. Is my sensei just insane or is it something different?

Depends on the format, arts style, and training regimen. He's probably just building up your stamina so that you're not a one round wonder.

That would be it. Given that in the black belt gradings he makes the gradees spar for upwards of 45 minutes straight against high-ranking black belts, it's no wonder.

That's 30 rounds!

Remember that creationist quiz from earlier?

As best as we can figure, it's the latter. There isn't too much scarring around the bullets, besides some darker wood around them.

... Shift downward? How? D:

Heh, I live rather close to that school.

Vandalizing or something would potentially be bad for me, so I'll just curse it under my breath.

Oh god I think I'm getting pulled into a relationship squabble.  Long story short, female friend suddenly broke up and moved out of male friend's relationship/house.  Queue male friend messaging me like a madman to "talk to her" and probably means "get them back together."  I honestly trust my female friend more.  Sent female friend a message that pretty much went "uh, this dude is driving me nuts, what's your side of the story, just asking because I'm concerned."  But that's it.  I'll hear her side of the story, see how she feels, and if it looks pretty much like I should stay out then I will.

But seriously why me ._.

Because you are a kind and caring person, who can empathize with both people.
Or I just said something that is generic enough that you can think of yourself that way, but specific enough that you don't think I'm doing the first thing.

Am I just abnormally lucky, then? I've never broken a bone; never had burns that were worse than blistering and scarring; never had an ingrown nail; put my bare hand through a glass window without getting a single nick; sleep-walked barefoot through about two miles of alley in my pajamas when I was ten, woke up, and carried a florescent lamp home without incident; fallen from various roofs and trees without injury; been shot in the chest by a flare twice the size of my thumb...

I mean, shit, is anyone else like this? I've had someone leg-sweep me and slam my head into a hardwood floor with nothing beyond 5 minutes of unconsciousness and a few hours of dizziness to show. Maybe some memory loss, too. Maybe some memory loss, too. I've had my brakes fail while going down a mountain on a street luge, hit a bump, flipped over, and got nothing but a skinned knee and a bloody patch on my cheek the size of my palm (which turned into an awesome scar for a few years). I was eleven for that second one.

Meanwhile people are having to have surgery without doing anything stupid at all and breaking limbs when they trip on flat ground. There's my WTF for the day. I guess I dumped STR and CHA in exchange for truly obscene Luck. o.0

I'm much the same.  I've had problems with ingrown toenails and a few serious illnesses, but I'm otherwise very non-accident prone and resistant to injury.  Six years of contact sports, 8 years of bullying, plenty of rough play and stunts, and a 40mph motorcycle accident.  Never been seriously injured.  No broken bones or more than superficial cuts/bruises.  Worst I've ever had was a sprained ankle and some kind of problem with my lower back that would randomly cause pain for a few months (I played a season of football with that).  I've caused other people serious injury by accident:  two broken arms and some torn ligaments just from tangle-ups during sports or rough play.  And I've already mentioned the time my skin deflected a blood draw needle at the hospital.  When I was 8, I used to jump out of the second story window of an old barn onto a mattress that was half-decayed and full of rusty springs, and had all kinds of scrap metal and stuff strewn about nearby.  Can't believe I never got hurt doing that.

Horrible luck with life in general, though.  Work really hard to ever get anything good going for me, and just when I think I've made it, some disaster from nowhere sweeps in and fucks everything up.  Still planning on dropping that life story in the sad thread, but haven't had a chance to finish writing it

I knew that Limbo of the Lost was considered bad. What I didn't know was that we call it bad because we have no words to properly describe this.

I... *sigh*

Also, question 16. The "wrong" answer(evolution) is actually wrong.
I really have to stop myself from making a response to #18, though. Too inflammatory.

That isn't what science looks like! IT BUUUUURNS!!!

[Dutchling]

That is disgusting.

Now this is an old video, like over a year now. Some may have seen it before, I myself had not...
It left me thinking, Wow...

Was there anything done further with this?
