What would be YOUR idea of perfection?

(Mine would include skin capable of photosynthesis and wings. But I'm sure my fellow R&Sers can be more creative...)

BOSTON - The winner of a $1 million lottery scratch ticket may not be so lucky after all: He's a convicted bank robber who isn't supposed to gamble. Timothy Elliott faces a Dec. 7 court hearing over whether he violated his probation when he bought the $10 ticket for the $800 Million Spectacular game at a supermarket in Hyannis.

Elliott was placed on five years' probation after pleading guilty in October 2006 to unarmed robbery for a January 2006 heist at a bank on Cape Cod. Under terms of his probation, he "may not gamble, purchase lottery tickets or visit an establishment where gaming is conducted, including restaurants where Keno may be played."

Elliott, 55, has collected the first of 20 annual $50,000 checks from the Massachusetts lottery commission. A picture of Elliott, holding his first check, was posted on the lottery's Web site Monday, though it was removed by Wednesday.

I asked one of my aunts if she wanted to go ice skating with me, and she made a comment that it'll look funny if I do it in my hijab/abayah. I don't think it's a big deal, I am just going out to have fun, and being a Muslim shouldn't stop me from doing so. I'm not denying that others might think it looks funny, I'm sure they will but... whatever lol.

What do you think?

Why can't i go to the sun?

why can't i visit the moon?

Is it really free will? Or is it just a finite number of choices?

Like a white rat in a maze, you can go left or right, but you don't have "free will" to go wherever you want...

Error of printing the book (with it?) and it will never lengthen.
