I don't know if this is real or fake, although I suspect you cannot make this up, but I thought it to be funny as hell, fuck that shit is funny: http://i.imgur.com/sr8P2.jpg

Sadly, this is very easy to believe.

Could go either way.

On the one hand, "I can't afford <emergency necessity> because I'm saving for <frivolous shit>" is pretty damned easy to make up.
I'll make one up right now: "Hey, can anyone tell who will give me the cheapest electricity bills in my local area? I can just barely afford them right now and I want to save up for a new AC."

On the other, I've learned that common sense is an honest to goodness superpower and all the things that make you think "Surely someone couldn't do something that stupid" are going to disappoint you with their veracity. The specific example given might not be real but somebody out there has done it.

If god was playing a joke on us he should be laughing pretty hard at how confused he got us, quite genius

My advice to that girl would be. try to sell your baby, some people will pay for it and with the money you got from the sale buy a better smartphone then the Iphone.

Saw the first episode of spartacus: blood and sand yesterday and thought it was 'Meh'. Storyline so far is good. Dialogue is rather bad. Too much slow motion in the action scenes and the blood effects are ridiculous. So it basically has story and boobs going for it. We'll see how many episodes it can keep me entertained with that.

It can't be that bad. For comparison in addition to meeting with my thesis advisor every Friday and working through a couple of papers every week, I'm taking Abstract Algebra, Real Analysis, and Algebraic Topology this semester, all while teaching two sections of remedial algebra and working with far too many lawyers to [redacted]. Today is a holiday, and I'm in the office.

Hey, beats not going to school chillin'h and staying dumb right?

Spartacus was lame, too many crap series on TV, why not pool all money spent on bad series together, make a few really good ones have less air time let people watch less television let them be influenced by marketing less.. Whadayouknow? All good things about my idea..

Except.. fuck, it won't generate enough money.

Example of tl;dr post? ;p (see previous comment directed at jelco)

For a decent TV series, see The Walking Dead, coming back in October.

My classes don't start again until September, but I'm at University, we get longer holidays than school-kids. Hehe.

Sadly, though, I've been working on my final year project most of the parts of the summer I haven't been spending sick.

As a counterpoint, I've got tired of being an unemployed bum and am going back to college for another degree.

Double thumbs up to that Xocrates

Just don't do what I did after I took the same decision as you and find yourself doing a PhD at the end of it.

I'm still not certain how I ended up here...
