Halo was the killer-app for me for xbox 1. Problem was, at the time, I thought there was enough on the xbox to keep me in gaming bliss for a while. Turns out there wasn't, and then my system started to crap out on me(dvd drive isn't reading right anymore), basically leaving me with not only a few games I can't play elsewhere, but I system I almost wish I hadn't gotten.
Prior experience with the xbox will shy me away from buying the xbox 360, but even still, at the time, Halo was enough to get me to buy. I'm sure, Halo 3 will be enough for many people to buy, and if they have HL 3, then it's a whole set of 3's for Microsoft, and they'll get their numbers, with or without me.
One night she was coming over to hang out, and I was playing WoW(World of Warcraft), trying to finish up a quest. She sat beside me and watched the game while I finished. Afterwards, I showed her a few things in the game, then got her started creating a character(NE Female Warrior). She proceeded to play for a good bit after that, me showing her the ins and outs of the game. Eventually I went to bed(damn work sleep schedule) and had to fight to get her to come to bed for a bit(she finally did an hour later). I woke up that morning, and she was still playing. Not terribly long after, I bought her an account, and now we play together online, definately got her addicted:)
Now to just be able to get some "ME" time with her in the near future....
I've heard of this being done before, it cost you the use of the line, but(especially if they are calling from India), then tell them "Yes, one moment while I get them", and set the phone down and ignore it. Periodically you might even get up and yell at the phone, "They're coming, they'll be right there", just to keep them waiting in anticipation.
No, better yet, Bush's next public speaking engagement. Imagine the surprise he'd get when suddenly 120 lasers all point at him(and the fun I'd have watching him dive for it:)
My major thought on this is the fact that space is very near absolute zero temperatures. Thus, it would seem that any water would be frozen into ice unless there was something to melt it. This would include(though I'm sure there may be more), some sort of atmosphere to maintain the heat, or an internal heat source. Provided either one of these are there, then that's one heck of a meteor. Also, someone brought to my attention the fact that there must be some sort of gravity to hold the water to the meteor. I donno, what's anyone else's take on that?

HA, I first saw this and thought "un ionized labor" instead of "union ized labor"
And to think, according to george carlin, today is the 2 million anniversary of sperm. We've come a long way folks :)
