Once upon a time, some lunatic wanted to find a way to both torture kids with the promise of a gratifying end result, and to get tons of money from the kids' parents (or insurance companies) simultaneously.
Having ruled out kidnapping and holding for ransom (due to the police apparently frowning upon it), he brainstormed and pondered for days until, finally, it occurred to him, "Hey... lots of kids have crooked teeth!"
And very soon afterward, he became the first orthodontist.

Make sure you look at a calendar first to double-check that there isn't a month between April and June. That other topic just might not be as alive as you thought.
*Sigh of relief.*
Thank goodness for mothers who read over your shoulder...

Reference Keepers are a very interesting species. Living mainly off chicken, hamburgers, cereal, and other such things, they have been discovered to have tastes in food incredibly similar to humans. They are known to live in groups, usually in the Bionicle Reference Center, though a few stray outside toward Storyline and Theories... ah, there's one now! It appears to be a member of the Hordika family! Let's creep closer and see if we can observe its habits...
Notice how relaxed it is in its
1. You guys need to send more of them.
2. To me. =3
3. And use interesting titles.
4. Not that "Signature Report" isn't descriptive, but the personal messages say they wouldn't mind more individuality.
5. Let me take this moment to add that EmperorWhenua has one of the most unique signature-reporting methods I have ever seen in my life. oO

I don't know if it just hates me or what, but for some reason, Firefox refuses to show me most images from Brickshelf. Not even one of those little red Xs or icons to show something's supposed to be there. Just... empty space.
I suspect there's some deep grudge behind this... like, maybe Brickshelf insulted Firefox's grandmother's knitting patterns or something...
It's getting really annoying when it comes to signature reports, 'cause people say, "His banner is too big!" and I click and sa
All of these are really bad examples of them:
"Woah, awesome comic! It made my day!"
"This. Is. EPIC!"
"Good work. Dude, I could never do that. Neat job. 10000/10"
"Eh, needs work. Nice try, though."
"Love it! You're a good drawer!"
I know from experience how hard it can be to find something to say about a piece of artwork, an MOC, a comic, or a story. However, simply telling the member that you liked it (or disliked it) doesn't tell them how they might improve or what to conti
What if the past doesn't really exist?
What if the only proof anything actually happened is in the memories and how its occurrence affected people?
If everyone forgot about something in history, would it cease to be?

This has been profound musings with Turakii. Tune in next week to hear Turakii ask, "What if the sky is really a giant space monster and the blue is the inside of its mouth?"

Story Factory meme thingy!
Rules:
1. Load up Windows Media Player or MP3 player or some such thingy
2. Que your entire library, or the longest playlist you have
3. Turn on shuffle
4. Write down the first ten songs that come up
5. Somehow find a way to connect them into something resembling logical sense
6. You can use either the actual song content or just the titles (I'm personally using just titles)

So recently, I heard a commercial for a radio which enticed you with descriptions such as, "The most top-of-the-line, groundbreaking radio you can find on the market! How could you choose otherwise, when it has a patented double-coiled antenna, bright and readable LED face, and... *gasp*... functional knobs and buttons!"
...
Wait... knobs and buttons that actually do something!? Technology really has advanced!

Stare thoughtfully at your profile and muse deeply! What food does your username most resemble? Is it a fruit? A dessert? Some inedible thing which only a deranged maniac would eat but which still looks cool?
Existing examples: Laughin'Man > Waffle Avohkah Tamer > Avacado Boy* Takuma Nuva > The Taco** Also, if your username is a food, can I eat it? =3

Which of Weird Al's song's do you consider the Weirdest of the Weird Weird Al Songs? Is it Hardware Store, with the ridiculously fast recitation of tools? Albuquerque, which takes eleven minutes just to inform you Al hates sauerkraut? White and Nerdy? She Drives Like Crazy? Eat It?
If you've never heard Weird Al, you can (1) just say all of them, (2) read through all the lyrics on this page and make a careful and well-informed decision, or (3) randomly pick a song with your eyes closed.
After about a month of excitement and anticipation, I finally saw it today! *Fangirls.*
I thought the movie did a really good job of capturing the Wonderland (or Underland =P) atmosphere. They used many of the characters from the books, yet gave them a special twist and more personality.
Alice herself didn't seem to have much character -- some of the creatures/people overflowed with their personality (the Cheshire Cat or even the March Hare), but she never seemed to really define hersel
Avohkah Tamer: So my laptop is overheating
Avohkah Tamer: Scalding hot
Ferhago: XD Mine's always like that
Ferhago: That's why I wear pants
Ferhago: Duh
Ferhago: You should wear more pants, AT
Turakii: I sure hope you wear pants for other reasons too
Turakii: And not just when you're using your laptop
Ferhago: Well why else would I wear them?
Turakii: So... people don't see your underwear?
NEWS FLASH! As of this afternoon, two new similarly rebellious words have been discovered and added to the list! Be sure to make note of them so as to see through their trickery more easily!

We all know the rule. "I before E except after C, or in words that say 'ei,' such as neighbor or weigh."
And yet... there exist rebellious words. Sneaky little words that think they can break the rule and still exist in their merry, evil state, uncaught and unnoticed. And today, we will finally
So one day you wake up, yawn, stretch, and think, "Today is a great day to help out on BZP! "
You stroll leisurely to New Member Q&A and find a topic which, surprisingly enough, is not yet closed. Your hopes rise! You click! You scroll through the answers! But wait -- it seems to have a multitude of posts already overflowing with all the useful information the topic poster could ever need!
And yet -- why is it open, then? Clearly, because the staff are waiting for someone else (namely,
Opinions are like noses. Everyone has one, but just because someone's is different than yours doesn't mean there's something wrong with it.
Our opinions are one of the things we treasure most. Probably because they're pretty much what forms us... if we didn't think anything about anything or anyone, things would be pretty bland. Though on the plus side, since no one would like or dislike, the human race could eat dirt. Think of all the time we'd save not having to cook! We could just run out
Another thing I've always wondered about is "what the heck." I mean, when you think about it, that makes no grammatical sense whatsoever, whether you use a place or an object. Try exchanging the "heck" for "Australia" or "bathtub." And what does the phrase really have to do with your confusion anyways?
Personally, I've always preferred "what the local shopping mall."

Turakii: STALKERS
Turakii: Everyone needs a stalker!
Turakii: Just so long as you don't let them get a restraining order
Turakii: But nice quiet stalking
Turakii: That works
Laughin’Man: I've stalked a number of people...
Turakii: Read their entire interests list
Turakii: Memorize how many friends they have
Ferhago: That's hard to do
Ferhago: Because they keep getting more
Turakii: But you'll notice every time they get more
Turakii: And then get interested in stuff they're interested
People are always talking about the heck being annoyed out of them, but they never explain -- how did it get inside them in the first place? Did they eat it for breakfast or something?
"Missing your daily dose of heck? Try a box of Heck Mix! Crunchy toasted squares with just a hint of the heckful flavor you've come to know and love! Fun heck-shaped marshmallows in every bite!"
