Has anyone ever noticed that serial killers only have two names, Ted Bundy, Jeffery Dahmer, etc., while presidential assassins always have three names, Lee Harvey Oswald, John Wilkes Booth, etc?

But what about John Wayne Gacy?

Phantom post.

I can't belive I got "Top 'o the Page to Ye" with that... :/

I bet that if you dig deep enough that Gacy was plotting to kill the president, and that Guiteau was just a spree killer who made the mistake of killing the president during one of his sprees. :)

So I am nominally back... possibly not as much as I would like, but we'll see how it goes. :/

Welcome back, Flash. We'll take what we can get. :)

How are these messageboards so awesome?

Well, I sent the kid to school today in spite of his drippy nose. Of course that was only because all of his other symptoms had gone away, and if I kept him home every time he had a stuffy nose I might as well home school. Stupid allergies. But at least this year the teacher didn't freak out when we told her he couldn't use paper tissues. On the not so plus side that means he'll be bringing home a baggie full of snotty hankies for me to wash. Yuck.

And yay, Flash :) Welcome back. Sorry about the insanity in your absence.

What'd I miss?

Well....

Even though she had doubts, Kathleen went ahead and married James, not knowing that he is actually the long-lost clone of her father's brother's former roomate. Eddie and Pamela's efforts to adopt hit a snag when it was revealed that the child involved was an alien from the Crab Nebula who is currently possessed by Satan. Russell decided to forgo his sex-change operation, in favor of having his DNA mixed with that of a platyp.....

Wait, sorry, that's my soap opera.

Man, the undead have the greatest soap operas. I'd actually watch that one.

man Monday is looking good after my weekend. my weekend consisted of looking at my engine. I had oil on my spark plugs which means the head gasket has had it, the ceramic on one of the plugs cracked and broke away, and on top of that there is a crack on the head. man Monday is looking good.

man Monday is looking good.

Drops a "landmine" at Woodraven's feet.

Flash,and Woodraven back on the same day!? Hmmm.... I wonder if their absence from the boards had anything to do with the ninjas that attacked me this morning? ;)

I am sorry to hear that. One of my friends had a similar issue and it cost him around $1500. Good luck with it!

I wondered why I hadn't heard from you this weekend, sorry it was such a bummer for you. :/

It is good to see my buddy from Oz posting again. :D

You sent them?! Well I wish I had known that... it would have saved me a bundle in international shipping expenses.

@Flash, please ignore the box full of severed ninja heads, they were supposed to go to GA. apperantly. ;)

A psychic artist
A professor at Temple Uiversity
A member of the Aberdeen Kansas city council
A global export company
A roofing company owner in Fresno
A deceased doctor in Seattle
An author on a book for Rugby refs

That sounds really fun! Can I help too! ;D

Yeah, sure, that'll only take, what, 13 hours? :)

Okay math geniuses, help me solve this problem. (((13x3)-3)/3)=
I think I told my neighbor the right way to do it, but for my own sanity, I need to double check and my math wizard wife isn't home.

I would go for 12 as the answer. 13x3 = 39. 39-3 = 36. 36/3 = 12 but I am not a math genius and I could well be wrong.

12 is right.

Twelve is also the answer I got. My neighbor needed to figure it out for a job application. I would hate to be the reason she does not get the job. Her mom already hates my family. The rest of their family like us though.

Hey, I got 12 as well. Woot. That's my one math problem right for the year. :)

Ya'll may have got 12 but I got...

I concur -- working out everything as the brackets show, it would be 3x13 first, or 39, then -3, for 36, then /3, so it = 12.

My roommate is willing to sell me his 91 ford escort gt for 400-500 but it needs the rear suspension done approx. 600 so if I go that route new car 1100, if I keep mine figure about same price not including a brake job it needs, I have some family help looking for a decent read cheap replacement. pros of the escort nice sound system aftermarket cd player with hd radio and iPod hookup, manual transmission, moonroof, and very little rust, pros of my car: sound system, new tires

Hi folks. Sounds like everyone is having a good Monday, if there ever was one. Mine has been alright, phone bill, groceries, health appts for teh kids set up, and now I am here. I am think I would like a nap but Moorlucks work called and screwed that up by putting him in a bad mood. so now we are all up. Ugh, I hate when they bother us when he is off. Is it so hard to figure out that if he is off and you can't gethim then to schedule it for day after next, this way he sees it in teh morning?
*sigh*
Poor guy was sleeping too. :\
