Via Pharyngula,
A game company hid a tiny little clause inside their long boring legal disclaimer that gave them the ownership of your immortal soul. Apparently, Gamestation now owns 7500 souls.
This was not a good deal, though. If you'd read the legalese, there was a checkbox to opt out of the soul clause…and if you opted out, Gamestation gave you a £5 coupon.

Moms couch surfing. I'm watching six feet under in the bedroom on the work laptop. But left the power supply at work. D'oh!!
Had we not needed to postpone it, we'd be getting married in the garden of a country house in Oxfordshire today. I've never been so happy in my life that it's a grey, cold, damp day.
Sox, much sympathy that the digging outside your house is still causing chaos. (We decided we would go away for two days next week, after all. Costing a fortune to get an accessible room, but will be worth it for two fewer nights of noise.)
Much health~ma for amyth's brother.
Seska, may the day you choose be as perfect for you and The Girl as this day was not.
Thank you Seska & what windsparrow said.
How completely frustrating Omnis. Not! on!, apartment repair guy. Not on at all.
Eta. Punctuation makes things better.
Stupid drunks, sitting out on their porch at 6:30am being loud and stupid and drunk.
Weird I posted something and now I can't find it. Hoping I didn't post in some other thread by mistake. What I am also missing is one of the charms from the bracelet TCG gave me. Any find it -ma you can spare please.
I'm doomed to be the person to whom people tell spoilers. Today The Girl and I were in an elevator discussing Sherlock (which I anyone could have worked out, from what I was saying, that I hadn't finished watching). The woman beside us told me the ending. Just up and revealed the season cliffhanger. It's nearly as bad as when I heard the ending of Sixth Sense on the radio before I could see it.
Finding~ma, Sox.
