Stupid woman, Clever car!

I dropped Alexis off at home one lunch time and she did not shut the car door properly, so as I was leaving I tried to lock the car doors (as part of security procedures before driving off) and I found that every time I locked the doors, they opened automatically and I kept doing this for about a minute until I thought the car doors had gone crazy, that is when I looked at the dashboard and there it was, the message telling me that the front passenger door was open and that is why I could not lock the doors centrally!

The neurons also had more receptors for vasopressin, a hormone that has been shown to prompt animal fathers to bond with offspring. Armed with the knowledge that their hormone levels have shifted precisely so they'll be more apt to cuddle their newborns, men may feel entitled to do more of the soothing. Which can only be good for kids—and for tired moms. This Father's Day, it's time to thank dads for all their bodies do.

I have heard of secondlife and I thought it was all a bit of fun but it looks like I should have booked myself a country or city. The issues are jumping out of virtual life and into reality.


Two motions to dismiss a virtual land dispute have been denied by a Pennsylvania judge, meaning that it will be the first case over virtual "land" in a MMORPG to go to court in the US.
