    Yep, we came in 9th (out of 40 teams) because we screwed up...we didn't read the intructions before setting off to solve the puzzles...we both were supposed to be on the pictures taken, but the we only found that out when we were on our 5th challenge, so we had to go back to the first 4 and do it all over...we lost about 1 hour just on that...I'm sure we would have finished within the first 5 teams if it wasn't for that...

    But it was helluva fun...(not counting the fact I screwed up my knee)

      ahh, so it was double the fun for your knee then. yikes

      I need a new wallet, my old one is ... old.

      Here are some things that would make our body less xxxxty.

      1. The area between our brain and our skull should be filled with a jellow-like substance that protects the brain during wiplash. Even cheap ass helmets have padding for our heads, why don't our thick skulls. In the future, maybe, we could get Dr. Scholls to create a skull insole, so our brain would be gelllin 24 hours a day.

      2. I'm scared of flying in a plane, even though it's filled with all sorts of backup and redundant systems, and yet our bodies only do back-up kidneys and lungs. There's a whole right part of the chest that's being wasted when it can contain an entire back-up heart, which would kick in when the primary one fails.

      3. What's with the need to produce pounds of smelly waste by-product every day. Our nervous system is an infinite-state machine, a super-computer of such complexity and yet we rely on such unimaginative technology that is our waste removal system. Didn't the ancient Romans have a plumbing system not much less primitive than the yards of pipes we call our digestive tract. There's gotta be a better system that doesn't require me to accept another man's or woman's (gulp) finger in my rectum when I turn 45 years old.

      4. Why doesn't our gene copying mechanism employ some basic error-correction methodology. I mean it's only 4 xxxxing letters, how hard can it be to make sure TGCC doesn't turn to TCGG so you won't have to deal with colon cancer before you turn 20. It's defective and I can't believe there isn't a 30 year warranty on this xxxx.

      Well other than that, we're pretty amazing actually, ... unless you take into account the myriad of little annoying defects and annoying xxxxups that we learn to accept from very early on as normal operation.

        1. We don't have jello, but we have fluid! I think it might need some movement and that's why it's not locked in?

        2. I would be willing to be wider to accomodate some back-up organs.

        3. We could have a less stinky system, but there'd still need to be an exit wouldn't there?

        4. Error correction methodology? Like an editor? What if that guy screws up? I think it's pretty impressive that there are as few mistakes as there are considering how much code is written. Don't we also need some variability? What if the mistake gives you x-ray vision?

            You clearly posted to be the last poster of page 242.

            Ok, your point #1 has some merit, though I think maybe it's not about the brain needing to move (ara ugegh ai tnashen es ures gnum ai dodosh), but perhaps to accomodate things like growths and swellings. Ok, in that case, why not have smart gel, that goes from being in liquid state to harding up to a gel form. I've seen a massage thingy that does that.

            Your second point is exactly how I feel about the subject, though in the case of heart, we wouldn't need to be any wider. The space is already there.

            I understand that not everything we eat is used by our cells, but why not determine what will be used or not much earlier in the game. Also, our bones are incredible dense and could be used if they were utilized properly as crushing devices. The waste could be crushed to small packages that would be much better than what comes out now. How about this, make our hair into an actual plant organism. What do plants need, manure. Problem fixed.

            Finally, the error-correction schemes would be in the body itself, akin to corection codes used in the computer. Granted a computer only deals with 2 letters, but still this is our body we're talking about.

            Tsk-tsk-tsk, Siggie honestly, you didn't put any thought into you arguments. I'm actually quite disappointed. I've come to expect more from you.

                I know this question has been asked before, but how come we have like 39 guests on line and 6 members? out of that 6 members a 3 are non active, 1 is a new member who probably won't ever post anything (except maybe in response to this, or the introduction thread).

                Who are these 39 guests? are they members who can't be bothered to sign in and trying to keep up with whats going on? or are they spies?? they are probably reading this and thinking this chick can't spell LOL blame it on the alcohol hahaha

                    Speaking of television programs, the "Armenian mob" has been mentioned in two Showtime cable series': Weeds and Brotherhood. With The Shield on FX that makes three so far (that I know of). The Weeds one is just too funny. Mary-Louise Parker's house is surrounded by Armenians who grow pot in their backyards. Their "leader" is Aram Keshishian.

                    And Lost sucks.
