    omg that woman tried to kill me.
    jumping up n down in the pool is not for creaky old relics like me - jaysus me lumbago, etc.
    i landed in the pool too hard - i pay 6.50 to be beaten senseless by a floor of tiles

    :rolleyes:

    OT:

    Just finished reading the first 250 chapters of Dragon Ball. I'm now utterly convinced the series went stale once Goku grew up.

    Would that not be the point, to observe the natural course of a characters life much like the Harry Potter series.

    Well yeah, but it's like the mechanics of the series changed as soon as Raditz arrived with a scouter device (for anyone who's heard the "OVER 9000!" meme, that's what's used). Before that point the series was pure comedy, boss fights were decided in seconds, and Goku was an idiot who didn't know what women were and flew around on a cloud.

    Now the battles are several continuous chapters of grunting and firing the same energy ball attack with about 20 different names and no difference in effect.

    It is stale before any of the super saiyan crap comes into play.

    Just came across this
    Zebra Finch male couple who sing to each other. Ahhhh arent they sweet.

    _54550095_male-pair.jpg

    zebra finches - highly vocal, colourful birds that sing to their mates, a performance thought to strengthen the pair's bond.
    Scientists found that same-sex pairs of finches sang to and preened each other just like heterosexual pairs.
    Same-sex pairs of monogamous birds are just as attached and faithful to each other as those paired with a member of the opposite sex.

    Ah now, bad CPR is better than no CPR! So I was taught anyway :pac:

    Did I read there a few pages ago that you're a paramedic? You'd be the person to ask so - where can you buy those mouth guard thingys for giving CPR?
