Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Although having an uber-British name doesn't necessarily guarantee that someone's English: eg, Lleyton Hewitt.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I don't have strong feelings about the new Facebook page layout, but I do have string feelings about the lack of it actually working right. It's a good thing it's free, I suppose.

Yay! My teacher just emailed us with an "URGENT" in the subject line--class will consist of us working from home tonight and putting together a worksheet of what we learned from the reading for the past two weeks. The snow didn't worry her, but the blizzard-like wind predicted for tonight did.
