The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Check the settings in File-->Page Setup ?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm not sure where the buttons on this mouse are. Perhaps the eyes? Hell of a job.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I think the top of the skull is in 2 parts that are the buttons. There's the arc above the nose-hole, and then the crack running up from that.

Very cool

For some reason an articulated skull is much grosser to me that a mouse made out of a real skull. Although if that's really sheep it must be a lamb. Maybe that's how come--the skull hasn't fused yet.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

And then there's my mom's, which are a conglomeration of random letters and numbers with various capitalizations stuck in there for good measure. She uses the first letters of a phrase you'll remember method, which I taught her but don't use. She's awesome.

I do this with movie quotes.

Our home computer's password is a version of the word "Serenity" and I love the hint D came up with: "malcontent".

That mouse is awesome. If I could afford it I'd have a steam punk house.

I think so, too.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Something weird has happened with my Firefox after the last update. Aside from somehow reverting my bookmarks back to some much earlier state - anything bookmarked in the last few months isn't there anymore - the browser has started automatically reloading the last session every time I start it up, rather than asking me. I can't find where to change the setting for this. Help?
