State reps not living in the same town as their constituents is a big PR no-no here; we're inured to the rest...well mostly.

I have 7776 points of Karma, and the forum forbids giving 1 point of Karma, which means I'll never have 7777 points of Karma

And while I was typing the post became outdated!

Cheer up! You can still look forward to 8888--and "8" is considered very lucky by some folks! (Scroll down to "In Culture" at that link.)

It doesn't always add right either. I sometimes try to add to people's karma by adding the amount to hit a "round" number e.g. 300, 2700.. and it often does not add properly. Do you think it could be because of iBooks?

I'm sure he is. And don't search for reasons behind nasty weather paterns either. Jobs is behind that too!

I wish we would do that. Maybe the jails would be less like holiday camps then.

I know several people who would be highly productive members of society if they worked half as much as they talked. In fact I work at a company full of them.

I propose a heat-transfer power-collection method. Tap the hot air spoken by politicians, add the cooling of election fever, and we're set...
