You know you've been on the internet too early in the morning after waking up when the first thing you end up finding is this...

I think I'm just going to... Go back to bed or something XD

That should not be as amazing as it is.

As far as tattoos go, I tend to associate large, gaudy tattoos with people who get them just because they are unusual, like guys who's earlobes contain what appear to be radial tires.
Minor tattoos, like a quote or a symbol or somethin', are generally because it's something important to the tattooee. My chem teacher has a line of Morse code tattooed around her wrist that's the first line of her favorite song.
I've also heard that getting tattoos increases your risk of skin cancer, but I'm not sure about it.

That sounds a lot like the sort of semi-believable thing people say to make you not do things they don't like.

Some googling indicates that nobody seems to have ever found any link between increased risk of skin cancer among people who get tattoos.

The only risk seems to be that tattoos can cover over moles, changes in which could be used to predict and treat cancer early.

And now I should really do some actual work.

My mom just got back from a business trip that she left for two days ago. I distinctly remember not sleeping and that happening yesterday. How much time have I lost?

I have a large tattoo on my back of Janus, with my first and middle name under the two faces, happy and sad. It covers my entire left shoulder blade. I wouldn't call it a minor tattoo, but I got it because it represents something important to me. I had it left uncolored because I prefer black-on-skin tattoos myself, so it isn't exactly gaudy. Plus I'm almost always wearing a shirt and both of my tattoos are fully covered by a t-shirt.

And I sincerely doubt it increases your risk of skin cancer anymore than getting a papercut might. I kind of want to get those magnetic fingertip implants now...

Yesterday was the wierdest day I've had in a while.

For starters, my politics thread died in a fire and then one of the guys who ignitied it, Gogis, committed account suicide by asking for a permanent ban.

Then, we've got about a metre of snow. In May.

And finally, somebody stole by bike lock. Not the bicycle itself - that's perfectly safe, the lock itself. He even replaced with a cord so that my bike wouldn't fall over.

[Arx]

That was polite of him. Let it never be said that Russians are inconsiderate! Perhaps he was heading to the inner city and needed it more than you?

The snow thing isn't THAT weird, I remember the same thing happened here two-three years ago. I remember as one night I looked out of the window and see that I actually cannot see out of the window, because it is a roof window and is currently under a thick layer of snow, and so is ERRYTHING.

It continually amazes me how easily I can fast-talk the librarian at my school into giving me a pass, and explaining away what I'm actually doing.
*Watching KSP videos
"Oh... Um... This is a tutorial video for a physics simulator. It's recorded by the famous Scottish astrophysicist Scott Manley. I'm learning about orbital physics."

[MaximumZero]

But...that's an entirely true statement.

>But...that's an entirely true statement.
Exactly. I'm practicing my fast-talking and bluffing, and as a challenge I limit myself to the truth (more or less). Protip: almost anything on the internet counts as "researching for Web Design class".

What about Bay12?

You know how many programmers and such are here? Heck, you can research pretty much anything just by asking a B12er. One of us is bound to know.
