Well my boss' wife gave birth to their second child, and there was a card passed around for each staff member to write some congratulating message on it.

Everyone basically wrote the same thing which was "Congrats!", and I didn't want to write the same thing, so I wrote,

"Congrats. Don't drop the baby."

At that moment, I thought it was kind of a witty comment but now that I think about it was cheesy, lame and not even funny.

Sooo, I'm just wondering if you guys think it's stupid as well?

I know knowing what everyone else thinks won't change the fact that I already wrote it but nothing wrong with a little curiousity is there? ;O)

alrighty, thanks!

Okay...last night I had a lucid dream for a few seconds, where this man came to my house and took a gun out for no apparent reason, and therefore I realized it must be a dream. Then I got really nervous that I would think I was to get shot, so I would really get shot. I know it won't be real, but it is still really scary. Anyway, I thought about it and decided to go up and knock the gun out of their hand. So I did it, and it worked. However, after I did this, I quickly woke up (I really don't remember why). Do you have any advice for controlling my fears and staying lucid in the dream? This is something I really want to do, and am willing to face this fear in order to do it. Thanks!

I recently asked a a question (Can someone explain to me how this is not a human being) I included a link that showed babies that were aborted. I then explained how most of these babies end up in a trash can after they been aborted. The pictures were nasty, but it was only to prove my point that it was human. Within 10 min someone reported to me to yahoo and then my question was deleted. How don't understand why. They said that it had explisit content. I was only telling the truth, its not like its porn links or anything. I wanted to show what the true reality was of what abortion looks like, and that it is a human baby. Do you think I did anything wrong other then exposing the truth.

A question about the centers of emotion in the brain. Is the feeling of sadness caused by a lack of "feel good" chemicals in the brain, or is there actually a substance that causes people to feel bad? Is so has this "sadness" substance ever been isolated and tested in experiments? Are emotions really just a combination of neurotransmitters or brain signals???? Thanks.

We've seen this happen in history. People from Spain are really a mix of Romans, Celts, Phoenecians, Gypsies, Jews and Moors. Do you think in a couple hundred or so years, the people of the US will be a blend of races to the point that everybody looks similar?

Have you ever seen an actress in a movie or something and think she is so incredibly beautiful? And sometimes you just cry? And a movie that is so beautiful with the music and things is makes you cry because of its beauty?

Note: I am not attracted to women or anything. Cause people would probably think so.
