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

Happy birthday, MM!

And just in time for Miracleman's birthday (x-posted with Bitches):

Israel says it's willing to discuss with Hamas on the base of the Egyptian truce suggestion!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Happy birthday, MM!

“Not dead yet!”

Dude... so that's why he hasn't been working on that transporter.

He's been brokering world peace. Or else slipping roofies into the drinks of high ranking officials.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

HBD, MM!

I got 14 on that logic test, but it didn't tell me what one I got wrong, and I can't figure it out.

Happy Birthday Miraclman!

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Many happy returns of the day, MM!

I think, on 15 the "we can predict" clause makes it hinkier. That should have been left out.

Contra Debet, the "we can predict" clause can't be left out, because that's exactly the point of the thing -- the logical statement isn't about whether water is or isn't H2O, but about whether the preceding statements imply anything about what is or isn't *predictable*. It isn't hedge-language at all.
