  1. wow, ryan, you may have graduated from the only university of illinois IN THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE! think about THAT
  2. why do women bear children? because it hurts and they deserve it!
  3. if the object is not completely in the space, but the part of the object in the space occupies the entirety of the space. i.e. when you put a nail in your wall to hang a picture. the space created by the part of the nail in the wall is completely filled by the nail, but the actual space in the wall occupied is smaller than the nail itself.
  4. hahahaha how literal! (see my post above...)
  5. http://www.theonion.com/content/amvo/prince_harry_going_to_iraq gotta love the onion...
  6. and i hope to be joining the numbers in a few months! U-S-A! U-S-A!
  7. and you'd have to add suspense-movie music, with a possible voice over by the guy that does all the movie trailer voiceovers.
  8. I'd love to know how many of those US engineering grads actually stay IN engineering. I for one have moved on to law school. I know a LOT of people that have done the same, or moved on to another non-engineering career.
  9. I can't believe no one has said "The A-Team"
  10. Learning a second language is hard -- im lucky i've spoken both english and spanish fluently as far back as i can remember. listening to people talk is key -- watching spanish TV and movies can help with things like pronounciation and also recognition. unless you spend years and years living somewhere where you HAVE to speak spanish, the thing that will likely always mark you as an American is your accent. You can learn the vocab and grammar perfectly, but getting rid of an accent is very very difficult.
  11. But i thought the guys on that plane in south america were rugby players, not cops!
  12. Amen to that. That said, i'll probably see it opening weekend.
  13. Hey, you know what they say.... The best defense is a good offense!
  14. Every time you strap on a rig and board the plane you're accepting the possibility that you might die, if not FOR, then at least BECAUSE OF your sport.
  15. Yeah, I did... it mentioned example but no actual studies. That's why I asked if there was any sort of concrete study about it. Again, I'm just curious, not trying to state a pro-gun or anti-gun point of view.
  16. As someone living in Illinois, who doesn't know anyone that owns a gun, I am just curious if there are numbers available as far as estimated economic impact. Im not taking a side, I am just curious to know if this effect has been calculated or if it is just speculative. I don't know how large the gun market is, but my guess is that it's substantial -- i would just like to know exactly HOW substantial it is.
  17. speaking of nudity, i think i went to college 10 years too early... http://cbs3.com/specialreports/local_story_043210202.html
  18. Also, it's possible for an illegal immigrant to have a valid, real social security number -- someone who comes here legally for a period of time and just doesn't go back after their visa expires.
  19. The most expensive beer is the one that gives you beer goggles with consequences that emerge 9 months later!
  20. My question is: if you were to radically increase minimum wage, wouldn't employers have to increase the price of their goods to make up for the increased wages? More to the point, wages would go up, but wouldn't cost of living as well? Im sure someone making more money than they were before would feel better about having more money, but that money wouldn't go as far. I haven't done any research so I am not sure of what the ratio of increases would be, im just curious.
  21. i hate you right now it is 7 degrees in chicago..... SEVEN!
