  • The trick is to bounce both legs but in opposite directions. When one is going up the other is going down, cancelling each other out.

  • I've still got my Nintendo 64, and I sometimes boot up Goldeneye for old time's sake.

  • One cannot reign innocently: the insanity of doing so is evident. Every king is a rebel and a usurper.

    Or, put in modern terms: There is no such thing as an innocent billionaire.

  • Left4Dead

    Fatal flaw: Versus mode (PvP) with random strangers is almost always awful. Only well-balanced teams of roughly equal skill can have a good time, which is unlikely when playing with randos.

    As opposed to the co-op campaigns where it's OK if some players are better than others because we're all on the same team and a good player can carry several n00bs.

  • It could certainly be used as evidence in your favor. Whether it by itself would be enough to exonerate you would depend on things like the evidence against you and how much weight the jury gave to your records.

  • These are known as souvenir plots. Generally, you aren't buying the land, but rather you're buying a contractual right to prevent the actual owner from developing the land.

  • Californian. No.

    It wouldn't solve any problems that can't be solved by other means, and it would create new problems that we haven't had to worry about before. It'd be a net loss for everyone involved.

    Wife trouble

    A man wakes up with a hangover after a night of drinking. He doesn't even remember how he got home, and is worried that his wife will be mad.

    The first thing he sees is a couple of aspirins next to a glass of water on the side table. And, next to them, a single red rose.

    He sits up and sees his clothing in front of him, all cleaned and pressed. He looks around the room and sees that it is in perfect order, spotlessly clean. So is the rest of the house.

    He takes the aspirins, cringes when he sees a huge black eye staring back at him in the bathroom mirror. Then he notices a note hanging on the corner of the mirror written in red with little hearts on it and a kiss mark from his wife in lipstick: "Honey, breakfast is on the stove, I left early to get groceries to make you your favorite dinner tonight. I love you, darling!"

    He stumbles to the kitchen and sure enough, there is hot breakfast, steaming hot coffee and the morning newspaper.

    His 16 year old son is also at the table, eati

    Two hunters

    Two hunters are out in the woods when one of them collapses. He doesn't seem to be breathing and his eyes are glazed.

    The other guy whips out his phone and calls the emergency services. He gasps, "My friend is dead! What can I do?"

    The operator says, "Calm down. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead."

    There is a silence; then a gun shot is heard. Back on the phone, the guy says, "OK, now what?"

    Of Biblical Proportions

    An elderly Catholic priest dies one night peacefully in his sleep after a long life of serving God, and finds himself standing at the pearly gates.

    "You were such a pious and holy man in life," began St. Peter, "that as a reward you can make one request of me before leaving behind your worldly cares and entering heaven."

    "Well," says the priest, "I'd like to read the original manuscript of the Bible."

    Even more impressed now than before, St. Peter grants the request and takes the priest to God's own private library, before leaving him to his studies.

    Shortly afterward, the priest lets out an unholy shriek. St. Peter rushes into the library and asks, "what is it? What's wrong?!"

    And through gritted teeth and streams of tears the priest cried out: "Celebrate! It says celebrate, not celibate!"
