So to lighten the mood, I will bring some more lolz over here

Not gonna lie, the though if owning a porkcupine as a pet crossed my mind. just me?
it was good.
Except a few things [spoiler ALERT]
1.) How come the Asian guy could cough up blood on all the levels but the absence of gravity only occured one level down?
2.) If the whole idea was to wake people up with a “fall” why did they not wake up during the car chase and tumble down the hill?
3.) Why did Leo not wake up during any of the chain reaction? Because he chose to go on to level 4? It just seems like if you get thrown around by an explosion you would wake up. Was he because he was a master extractor that he could dream through all the bs?
Some of the science he tried to implement made some things a bit contradictory. It also bothered me they were so meticulous in forcing this idea of inception yet didn’t even spend the time to discuss how the machine they always used worked? Even with all the ambiguity, I felt the movie was a success, as long as you just accept the world of inception and not worry too much about the tiny little details.

Exceptions made for truely epic movies, of course.
So spoiler alerts do not work on moblie web.
And I doubt I will see inception. Its getting the same hype as avatar and is just throwing me off it.
And it reminds me of conception which is scary…
Inception was amazing… best movie of the Summer by far. Unlike Avatar (which of course didn’t come out this Summer), it didn’t just rely on the effects and actually has an original story.
I strongly recommend going to see it.

Please go see it Major, I feel you on losing it in the hype like Avatar, I saw it just the other day and I was really blown away, I thought it was fantastic and relatively easy to follow after about the first 15 minutes. I highly doubt you will be disappointed, if you are I will give you some cookies and all will be forgiven, but seriously go see it.
Holy crap that was really close and it looks like it hit the ground like 5 or 6 times, or shot up to the sky, whichever it is for lightning now….
Lighting is typically multiple strike, you just can’t see it.
Btw, at that range you’re no safer inside than outside.

*edited*as, bet you never saw this coming
Today I found out that the idiom used for the notion of someone “getting what’s coming to them”, whether good or bad, is actually “just deserts”, not “just desserts”.
The misconception primarily stems from the fact that most people are unfamiliar with the word ‘desert’ (pronounced dizert), which more or less means the same thing as the word ‘deserve’. Instead, when they see the word ‘desert’, they think only of the word meaning something to the effect of ‘dry sandy wasteland’, which is pronounced ‘dezert’.
In fact, these two words that are spelled the same, but pronounced differently, have their origins in two different Latin words. The word ‘desert’, as in hot sandy wasteland, comes from the Latin word deserere, meaning to forsake. The word ‘desert’ as in “to get what’s coming to you”, comes from the Latin word deservire, which is also where we got the word “deserve” from.
Thus, the pronunciation of “just desert” as “just dizert’ starts to make more sense when considering the origin of this particular form of ‘desert’, being the same as the origin for the word as “deserve”. Likewise, the idiom “just desert” actually now makes complete sense, unlike “just desserts” which makes no sense whatsoever in the context that this particular idiom is usually used.
Bonus Factoids:
* The word ‘desert’, as in “to get what is coming to you”, has been used in English since around the 13th century. This word, however, has fallen out of common usage and now, outside of the idiom “just desert”, is almost never used.
* The earliest reference for the idiom “just deserts” was around the 16th century.
* This type of spelling error based on a mishearing of a word or misunderstanding of its context is commonly called an eggcorn.
good night
