The names came from I-Mockery. Some of the Descriptions are as hilarious as the names.

Humans: Creatures of Habit

WE HUMANS suffer from an advanced case of self-delusion, according to Alex Pentland. We like to see ourselves as free-willed, conscious beings, self-governing and set apart from other animals by our capacity for reasoning. Yet watch people closely, says Pentland, and you find that we are more instinctual and a lot more like other creatures than we care to think.

At the Media Lab of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Pentland and his colleagues are doing just that. By fitting custom-made electronic "black boxes" to students, researchers and visiting executives at MIT, they can monitor people going about their day - working, meeting, eating, going out and sleeping. The devices record where the wearers go and how fast, their tone of voice, and subtle details about their body language. What they have revealed is that a good 90 per cent of what most people do in any day follows routines so complete that their behaviour can be predicted with just a few mathematical equations.

These findings are part of a quiet explosion of psychological work that is casting human behaviour in a weirdly mechanical light. "It's difficult for people to accept," says psychologist John Bargh of Yale University, "but most of a person's everyday life is determined not by their conscious intentions and deliberate choices, but by mental processes put into motion by the environment."

What would you do for a Klondike bar?

Nothing, I prefer New York Super Fudge Chunk.

Fake edit-

I GOT MY 14 DISC TRANSFORMERS DVDS IN THE MAIL.

It's a Chinese import and the main language is Chinese, but the English audio is the original cast. All three seasons, plus the movie, in a nice tin, with a key chain and postcards, for about 72 dollars.

And they shipped it USPS, so there wasn't any farting around with waiting for the delivery guy to show up.

:-)

BTW, this was from Amazon.

Cool! I got a 25 disc Chinese/Mandarin/English Transformers DVD set in 2004 for 40 bucks with a wooden box and a poster. The voices are awesome in the Mandarin, cause they have the robotic sound talking just like the us characters, but it sounds cooler.

As far as what I would do for a Klondike bar....I'd pay .79 cents for one........If I wasn't a cheapskate.

Dwarf + Vacuum Cleaner + Superglue... The Edinburgh Fringe Festival always produces news like this

[Universal Ruler Supreme]

"It was the most embarrassing moment of my life when I got wheeled into a packed AE with a vacuum attached to me," Blackner said.

The little guy rolls out on stage with a vacuum stuck to his willy wonka on a regular basis, and he was embarrassed by this?

Minstrel: [singing] Bravely bold Sir Robin rode forth from Camelot. He was not afraid to die, oh brave Sir Robin. He was not at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways, brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Robin. He was not in the least bit scared to be mashed into a pulp, or to have his eyes gouged out, and his elbows broken. To have his kneecaps split, and his body burned away, and his limbs all hacked and mangled, brave Sir Robin. His head smashed in and heart cut out, and his liver removed, and his bowels unplugged, and his nostrils raped and his bottom burned off and his penis...
Sir Robin: That's, uh, that's enough music for now, lads... looks like there's dirty work afoot.

Minstrel: [singing] Brave Sir Robin ran away...
Sir Robin: *No!*
Minstrel: [singing] bravely ran away away...
Sir Robin: *I didn't!*
Minstrel: [singing] When danger reared its ugly head, he bravely turned his tail and fled.
Sir Robin: *I never did!*
Minstrel: [singing] Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about, and valiantly, he chickened out.
Sir Robin: *Oh, you liars!*
Minstrel: [singing] Bravely taking to his feet, he beat a very brave retreat. A brave retreat by brave Sir Robin.
