    Licence to Kill (1989) is the first James Bond movie to be given a PG-13 rating from the MPAA. All of the Bond movies before it are currently rated PG.

    In fact, the film had to have some of the more hard violent scenes toned down to avoid an R rating.

    If I ever change my diet to cannibalism I would move to Hamburg. :wink:

    Did you know that jumping spiders are intelligent, hear well and have very good vision, in full colour? That makes them curious about the world, so they sometimes like to study things and other animals, including humans. They are friendly and have two big puppy eyes and lots of people find them cute, so they are very good spiders to learn to know for an arachnophobe (like I used to be). :smile:

    Gabe Newell, the president of Valve Corporation, has a rather large collection of at least 600 knives.

    It's been rumoured that he buys a new knife each month Half-Life 3 doesn't get released.

    When I'm overtired my brain gets hyper and I come up with all kinds of ideas, some silly and some creative. Perfect when I'm working on my short stories or comics. :)

    One good idea I had was a Residue Theme Park. Fun for the whole family, with rides like "Teacups" with real tea residue in them. Oh, and balloons with a little talcum powder left from the production in the factory.


    Psst... I've been awake for 32 hours now.

    Ataxia is typically defined as the presence of abnormal, uncoordinated movements.

    I have noticed it. And that you can start hallucinating because parts of the brain go into sleep mode. I can sometimes see black spots on the walls when I'm really tired. And I can get motion blur.

    I guess those were the facts of my post.

    Acrophobia can be a physical cause, it principle is similar to motion sickness. But the nervous system at work is not exactly the same as motion sickness, so people who are physiologically acrophobia (the exact statement is "visual height intolerance") are not necessarily motion sick, and vice versa. For people with visual height intolerance, heights are actually dangerous

    I suddenly developed visual height intolerance when I was 11 or 12 years old, I'll dizzy and tachycardia when I looked down from a height, so I can't take the escalator down (because I would actually fall), I also can't too close to high places without high enough protection. I can't even look at the outside in the transparent elevator. As for why I (and some people) suddenly developed visual height intolerance, I haven't found an answer yet

    BMI is not absolute. Muscular people usually have higher BMI, people with small bones usually have lower BMI.
    I only have a BMI of about 14.8, but I'm actually a very slender normal skinny person because of small bone (though I'm actually a bit wider at the shoulders, that's just relative. And my limbs are extra slender, within the normal range). Though I haven't actually seen the calculated results, it can be inferred that overweight people with small bone tend to have a normal BMI

    Based on this, I thought of another point: If only calculate by body fat rate, Arnold Schwarzenegger must be skinnier than me. The "muscle demon" body type is actually have a really low body fat rate (such as 4-5%). Similarly, a person with an athletic body type usually or always have a lower body fat rate than a normal person described as "skinny monkey"


    Getting a good or bad tan, excluding extras depends largely on your natural skin tone (or skin undertone). According to my observation, people with naturally olivish skin tones will always get a bad tan.
    I've seen this kind of people the most, but all of them can only get bad tans. I also saw someone said online, they (Asian) and a white friend went to the beach and both of them get tanned, the white person became wheatish, but they became reddish-dark yellowish-brown.
    So Asians tend to keep pale, really not because of some miscellaneous reasons...

    Quoted from TCRF's article from The Sims 1:
    "Sims, residents of greater SimCity, speak Simlish. It would take a follow-up until it'd be reflected into the world's overall typography and culture. Until then, the game's canonical graphics design and clothing were made as though for an English-speaking civilization! Most of them will not be noted in-game, because their pre-rendered sprites are too small, as below:"
