I like to think I'm friendly and easy to talk to. I always treat others like I'd like to be treat myself and I try to follow that rule.

Does it make me a horrible person
if I think this excerpt about monkeys in space is one of the funniest things on wikipedia/ever?
“Albert was followed by Albert II who survived the V2 flight but died on impact on June 14, 1949 after a parachute failure.[2] Albert II became the first monkey in space as his flight reached 134 km (83 mi) - past the Kármán line of 100 km taken to designate the beginning of space.[4] Albert III died at 35,000 feet (10.7 km) in an explosion of his V2 on September 16, 1949. Albert IV on the last monkey V2 flight died on impact on December 8 that year after another parachute failure.[2] His flight reached 130.6 km. Alberts I, II, and IV were rhesus monkeys while Albert III was acynomolgus monkey.
Monkeys later flew on Aerobee rockets. On April 18, 1951, a monkey, possibly called Albert V, died due to parachute failure. Yorick, also called Albert VI, along with 11 mouse crewmates, became the first animals to survive rocket flight on 20 September 1951; although, he died 2 hours after landing. Two of the mice also died after recovery; all of the deaths were thought to be related to stress from overheating in the sealed capsule in the New Mexico sun while awaiting the recovery team.[2] Albert VI’s flight reached 70 km, below the definition of spaceflight. Patricia and Mike, two cynomolgus monkeys, flew on May 21, 1952 and survived but their flight was only to 26 kilometers.”

I figured something out the other day…
a statistic that no one can argue with. All cyclists will die at some point in their lives. Now that’s science. Fact & science.

Does the internet breed killers?
“Indeed, virtual networks like Facebook, YouTube, Wikipedia and the World of Warcraft seem to offer as good clues as any to why this 32 year-old man should decide one day to blow up and shoot as many fellow Norwegians as he could.
Most troubling of all is Breivik’s obsession with the multiplayer role-playing World of Warcraft, a violent online game that he played “full-time” between 2006 and 2007. Indeed, one of the few times that he smiled this week was when the image of his World of Warcraft character was displayed in court.”
Note: I just want to let all of you know that we’re all killers. And that video games make us narcissistic psychotic freaks. Don’t kid yourself otherwise.
What a load of fucking shit. First off WoW is not a violent game in comparison to some of the other stuff available out there. Any violence in WoW is essentially on the same level as Tom & Jerry; surely it’s just too cartoony looking and childish to really be considered violent in anyway. Secondly videogames are the scapegoats of this generation’s media and parents. If you want to blame violence and a lack of social skills on videogames then you might as well do it on films, TV, books, being outside, owning a dog and occasionally glancing at dolphins. Except violence has already been blamed on all of those things (with the exception of the last few) and yet there has never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever been a study which 100% concretely shows a correlation between violent behaviour videogames. Even if there has there has been dozens which prove otherwise.
Rant over. Apologies for the anger I just hate to see the media shit all over one of my passions.
