I swear it's true! Why would I lie about something like this?

So, have you heard about the Apple's new iPad, their sleeker answer to the netbook?
Check out this MadTV sketch, from 2007.

I'm just pretty sure that the thought of Hector ruling the world is sort of scary. Earniel, though, I could take, as long as it meant chocolate at every meal is a global LAW!

I vote chocolate, personally. And I can't imagine what you've threatened Earn with!

Midge... do you think she'd actually SHARE all the chocolate? I much think that she's hoard all the good chocolate and give the bad stuff away to those in high places. The rest of the world will have to do without for the rest of their lives... Plus: frogs and other such creatures will be found everywhere.
Now if Hector came to rule the world... yeah, that would be kinda scary. I'm sure he'd start out simple with a few posters, taking over some radio and tv stations... but then: North Korea >_< everything censored, everyone brainwashed...

(apprx. 80% right now.) ...Yeah, quite heavy text. *shrug*

Besides, if Earn hogged all the chocolate, she'd get tons and tons of acne and no one would respect her. She's smarter than that!

Hmmm, Korea DOES have nice and orderly daily routine though. And I'm not too fond of chocolate as is. But yeah, not a very nice idea either. Maybe I should just make sure neither of those two ever get to rule the world... Noble, like this? Quote:
But looking back at humanity and our current day society, there are also things to be glad for. Things that make me proud to be human. Like all the help that is going the way of Haiti. We can feel compassion and act on it. True, not enough, not nearly enough, but it is there. Isn't that something to be proud of and to nurture? A feeling you want to inspire in others? Be the example, even if it hurts being the only one, because at some point people will look at you and see.

Tom Bombadil would resist!
(And high-quality, dark Belgian chocolate would spare us all from acne, I'm sure ) Yes, a perfect example of what we usually call "finskt vemod" = Finnish melancholy

Very true. While some people may have (and, perhaps more, may have had) notions of children as pure and innocent, and only "corrupted" when they grow up, it really seems to be the case that "right and wrong" "good and bad" are absorbed from growing up around people who make these distinctions. Children, and especially young children, often have very ill-formed ideas of wrong, which is why they can often be so cruel, and take delight in the most gruesome stories. I mean, really, when you think about stories like Hansel and Gretel, they're horrific!

Those stories were written by adults for adults though. Only later were they adapted to be children's stories. Ever read the original version of Cinderella? o_O
By the by, psychologically seeing, children don't develop a conscience until they reach on average about 12 years of age.

Are you referring to the Middle Earth story of "Sindariel"?

Why thank you, but then you of course knew all this all along.
