If that were true, it's the best-kept secret ever.
. . . . but maybe I am worth millions . . . and no one's told me.
Hmmmmmm.
:D
EDIT: But(t), this would be the reason why . . . .
Woo-ha!

The Wonders of High Finance:
I have been informed on more than one occasion that I've had credit history building since I was two years old.
Which is utterly ridiculous.
Oh, it depends on how old you are. My parents opened fairly modest bank accounts for us when we were kids, but this was in the 1970s with Jimmy Carter's inflation-o-doom.
So we had to file taxes on our bank interest every year.
We never had to pay any, but my parents seriously had me filling out tax forms when I was nine.
Sadists!

Sadists, indeed! Yipes!!
But I only turn 38 tomorrow -- and didn't have an account of any sort till I was 15 or so.

We have a thing we gotta go to tonight, something about Crookshanks and high school next fall.
The General is in charge of this one.
I'm just there to drive and provide air support ("sir, can you stop bumping me with your drone!")

Honestly? I love doing my taxes.
Am I wrong to think it's fun?

I do as well, it's a rush.

Legally I am bound to pay taxes, because those are laws and I have to follow them. However the process of filling in tax details would drive me crazy because it's maths. Thankfully down here for me it's automated.
But to like filling in tax forms? Arrrrghh the horror!
Happy early birthday, Syrus! =)

It was good up until the ending I feel (provided were talking about the anime and not the netflix series.)

Ridiculous? Certainly not! What has happened - obviously - is that Reverse Future Twin Syrus has travelled back from the year 4010, making wise investments in Martian real estate as he does so, and thus built up a robust credit score with the Pan Galactic Imperial Space-Bucks Rating Agency, so Forward Present Twin Syrus, when you meet your future self, shake him by the hand, unless that would cause the universe to blow up, which it might.

Finished watching Death Note. *shrugs* An okay series, I guess.
Isn't that a Charles Bronson movie?

The one where Billy Joel murders a bunch of people to absorb their life stories for his music.

I started to watch Death Note (the anime), got about halfway through the first episode and said "Nah. Not for me." Maybe I'll try again sometime, as I just may not have been in the mood for it right then, but I don't know.
I mentioned it before, but for us Death Note started off as an amazing play on morality: What, exactly, IS "good"? What is "evil"? Can people fundamentally change morality? And if so, how often?
The trouble is, after about 6 episodes of this rich, juicy morality play they decided, "Wow, writing moral ambiguity is hard! So let's just make this guy 'good', this guy 'evil', throw in a bunch of stereotypical side characters and deus et machina plot "twists", and call it good."
It went from "amazingly excellent" to "we don't need to watch any more episodes of this" in an amazing, plummeting spiral between episodes 6 and 9 or so. We never did finish it.

He popped up in my Serpent's Skull thread on Monday and complained about how amazingly busy he is, and how he can't hope to catch up with the 1000+ posts he's behind on FaWtL.
So the solution is obvious: Post more!

It also became basically a couple of teenagers trying to godmode each other.
"Haha I planned that!"
"I planned that you would plan that!"
"Yeah well I planned that you would plan for my planning that!"
"Unfortunately for you, I also planned that!"

It is a truly amazing and versatile protein.

I can see where you are coming from. Death Note works MUCH better as a manga than as an anime- the dialogues simply don't work in the live action visual medium in my opinion, and the morality struggles simply work better by text. Please give it another try as a manga- the japanese love of hard boiled detective stories makes it a real treat to read.

This too works better in the manga.
I also suggest the "how to read" manga for Death Note- it explains a lot of stuff/fills in some plot holes.
