Well, this is nice. Apparently Australians' life expectancy is now second only to Japan:

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I hear the secret is in slathering yourself in whale blubber.

Congratulations, bob bob!
Hivemind that knows chess boards/pieces: My father has a board made by his grandfather for which he'd like to find Staunton pieces. The squares on the board are only 1" - and all of the mini sets I find have 2.5" kings recommended for 1.5" squares because their base is 1".
Do they make Staunton pieces smaller than this?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have a bag full of fruit and where to start...apples are probably better saved for afternoon snacks, and mango (eep!) is messy to start out with, so maybe the white peach for brekkie.
Is it okay to not have ambition? I don't want two missed calls and 39 unread emails between EOD yesterday and "first thing" this morning.
Bon--you gonna be doing the housewife thing (I can see you rocking the role) or are you hunting?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Why do computers have to crash right at lunchtime? Can't it wait?

Oh wow! Congrats bon bon and bob bob! California here you come!
My tummy is so confused at me. Why did I make it be awake at 4:30AM? And then eat at 5:30AM? And then again at 9:30AM? It does not understand this "eastern time" thing.
My brain is even less happy, even if it understands better.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Is it okay to not have ambition?
This is my question, too. Although I do want to be in charge of things.
