Too many.  Most of them just sign up and don't do anything.  Which is pretty stupid if you ask me.

On the old forum before I switched to phpBB, there were 326 registered members, and only a small fraction of them were actually active. Right now there are 155 registered members, and a decent of them are active.

I notice a lot of them post while they are at work, however. Which is fine by me, if they need something to kill some time, I'll be glad to help them out.

It would still be nice to have a few extra people to "communicate with".

Oh yea, Revka, I think the avatar thingie is only set for gifs again. You might become my number 1 Virtual Buddy again.  :P

Just kidding, I think I saw some kind of hack on the phpBB site a while back for letting other types of avatars. I'll go hunting there.

Heh... yeah.  That was pretty fun making your other forum recognize things other than gif's.  I think it warped my brain as an after-effect.

I Leave nothing to the government.  I don't trust them with my money let alone my mind.  I'll leave that to the internet to slowly destroy.

Slowly? It's almost an instantaneous thing - as soon as you "touch" the internet, you're doomed.

I know this post is a bit late, but this is something that amuses me over and over again.

THAT, my friends, is a lack of common sense.

(28 February 2000, Texas) A Houston man earned a succinct lesson in gun safety when he played Russian roulette with a .45-caliber semiautomatic pistol. Rashaad, nineteen, was visiting friends when he announced his intention to play the deadly game. He apparently did not realize that a semiautomatic pistol, unlike a revolver, automatically inserts a cartridge into the firing chamber when the gun is cocked. His chance of winning a round of Russian roulette was zero, as he quickly discovered.


That's just too stupid for words. Except these. And those.  And that series too. Shit, this could go on for a while.

No, not necessarily more stories about it.  I mean more people need to DO that.  

BTW, that's one of my favourite sites.

I have a Darwin Awars Page-a-Day calendar.  I should start scanning and posting the stories.  It's pretty funny.  I don't keep up to date anymore, but I should.

The way I see it is:

If someone's stupid enough to get a darwin award, we have to laugh at them for more then one day.  I've been amused by that semi-automatic security guard for 2 years =P

Common sense? Lack of it?

Well, just take a look at ME.

There, THAT is all the "that" you'll EVER need!

My job is done. To the abyss with me.

Dilbert, save us all.

this one dude was on trial for murder, and before the court session he grabbed some jiff, extra crunchy, and shoved it in his shorts.. when he was asked to the bench he reached into his pants and grabbed some out, then shoved it into his mouth-

after 6 months of being in a mental hospital he was set free- now you would think that someone would know better or at least smell that it obviously wasn't feces..
