Well, I don't need coffee. I need tea.* Very East Frisian of me.


*) Generally speaking. I already had my morning tea.

Decisions decisions... I've been wanting to get a pair of goggles for a while (I had a pair until it was ran over by my car), and low-and-behold, I found some on amazon while looking for Dr. Horrible's sing Along Blog.

Welding Goggles for $11.00:


Classic styled motorcycle goggles for $30.00:

Ethyl acetate is harmless so I'll keep drinking it.

Morning folks, the Hive really is a 24 hour party*.

Apparently 4-5 cups of coffee a day is good for you, therefore I need to build up my tolerence to the stuff. Although coffee always seems to leave me with stinky breath, is that why people have mints and chewing gum?


* for a given value of party.

Go for the classics they look sweet, although the welding goggles don't look to bad either, and are almost 2/3rds of the price.......

I hope that helps

Well, the old style welding goggles are pretty much classics in cyber-genre and I too have a pair. Then again, those motorcycle goggles are pretty awesome...

How about both? And if you don't like the motorcycle goggles afterall, you can send them to me. My birthday isn't far away

That's the thing. They both look good. I wish I was able to find both at a local shop since then I'd try them on and see which one looks better when worn. Damn science!

I don't want them for the cyber look... I want them because they help me look like a mad scientist who dreams of ruling the world. :P

In that case, you need the welding goggles. Nothing says mad science like a pair of those. Preferably with some dark reddish brown paint splashes to make them look like they'd have blood on them

Why are there so many bisexual women on OkCupid? And why are they only looking for women?

A few reasons.

1) You tend to notice those that you can't have more. It's selective perception or whetever it's called.

2) A lot of the other dating sites interject their own politics into their services and refuse to match women - women or men - men.

The cynic in me says for fairly much the same reason you see so many female avatars on WOW and other MMOs....

because they're men pretending to be women? I might buy that but there are some U-G-L-Y women on there. If I were pretending I would at least go with some hotter woman for the pictures.

I'm not quite sure what the point would be on a dating site. Eventually you're supposed to meet, they'll figure it out then.

And the site does a pretty good job of self-policing for scammers.

So why bother?

I guess you could try to get naked pictures from "other" women, but that's bound to fail, a lot.
