    You could eat ramen at least twice a day and spend less than $5 for two meals, then splurge on dinner for $10, totaling $15 for the day and under $500 for a month. That's thrifty eating right there. Unfortunately the price of ramen is going up too, so stock up.

    And you're proud of the fact that they won with their european brand of wuss hockey? I'm surprised the blue collar fans of Detroit would support such a gritless bunch of euros, but I was always perplexed that they were happy in the 90s with the all-Russian line. At least now it's mostly western euros.

Where the dreamer and his dream?

    Hockey needs more big black and latino players to beat some sense into the white men. There's a problem when the enforcer on your team is only 6'2" 200 lb.

    I'm not so sure hockey needs diversity, just the best players at their roles. If those best are blacks or browns, that's the way it goes then. Downey definitely isn't someone I'd want as an enforcer on my team. He can't compete with the badasses like Boogaard, Laraque, or McGrattan, if only the NHL didn't clamp down on super goons like them.

    What's really sad is that in recent years, Detroit players have actually said that the power play was their enforcer, meaning that they'd repay every beating or hard hit with a power play goal. This coming from a team that used to carry Bob Probert, Joey Kocur and Stu Grimson. How the mighty have fallen.

    Some poor akiba-chan got tired of being a virgin and went nuts in Akihabara, Tokyo, probably looking to spare some of his fellow nerds the same loneliness and desperation he felt:

    If there's one thing I learned in Pharm this year, it's that growing old SUCKS.

    Well, now the thing is learning how to use this to our advantage medically. It's of no use to us if the centenarians keep dying on us. I mean, it's an awesome discovery and all, and I understand that the fact that we may be able to avoid brain deterioration and all of the implications that go with that, but until something big happens (like cloning the brain to make them available for transplants) I see no use for this in the next twenty or so years.
    Now 99% disease free!

    Apart from the fact 20 years isn't such a long time in the medicine business, if they get enough material from ancient geezers staying sane, they might be able to pinpoint the exact genetic factors protecting them from Alzheimer's disease. Depending on how simple or complicated those traits are, specific medicine could be developed that would postpone the Alzheimer's by, for example, 10 years in statistically average individuals. Medicine development has two ways: Knowing exactly what you are doing, or testing the extracts of the purple agaricales that the Azashizazizo indians from the jungles of Amazon have used for 1000 generations to treat crooked fingers.

    Of course I'm talking about a very hopeful scenario, but in the end no basic research is useless.

    That seems excessive...and scary..

    I tried my best...

    The guy tossing M&Ms deserved every bit of it. There are millions of starving people in the world and this idiot thinks it's funny to throw M&Ms at others. I've never thrown food at people in my life because I've witnessed first hand what starvation and poverty looks like.

    No, I have the luxury of living at home while I'm in school. I only live by myself when I'm on a work term away from home, like right now.

    Yeah the guy deserved it at the time, but it's funny since I became friends with him after this happened. He was a pretty cool guy after all. White kid, liked to hang out with the Asians (yellow). Not sure why he and my brother didn't get along, since I never got the full story from either.

    Wet M&Ms are no joke, they stick and the chocolate gets everywhere, which is why they recommend you let them melt in your mouth, not in your hands.

    That sounds oddly familar. Beware the quiet ones.

    You should convince him to throw Oh Henry! bars in the swimming pool.
