All I can say is wow. All that just to mean "video game." I suggest we start using the above statement in our everyday speach. Something like:
"Hey Kevin, care to pop out the amusement machine that predominantly appeals to minors' morbid interest in violence or minors' prurient interest in sex, is patently offensive to prevailing standards in the adult community as a whole with respect to what is suitable material for persons under the age of eighteen (18) years, lacks serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value and play some Final Fantasy on it?"
My favorite part of the conversation was the bit at the end where Christian began to loose it and talk to himself. Can you say "dissociative identity disorder"?
"Thought meme" is like saying "genetic gene."
A meme is a self-replicating unit encoded through cells in the brains of higher order primates (much like a gene is a self-replicating unit encoded through proteins in the DNA of living things).
The idea was first proposed by Richard Dawkins in his book The Selfish Gene (which I would highly recommend).

You do see whats coming don't you?
All we need to do now is create micro-mice and micro-mice wheels and I'll be able to power my house with mouse pellets.
Not only has ICQ's API been open but AIM has begun to make itself compatible with ICQ.
Try this:
Open AIM.
Type in your ICQ number in the login name box.
Type in your ICQ password in the password box.
Hit connect.
The weird thing is you can't add people to your buddy list and you can't see AIM users. You *CAN* message ICQ users though...from AIM!
A bit strange eh?
