This is my 2¢. Or maybe 1.5¢ because I can't remember my other point. Is that US, or Canadian? Or have you forgotten?
Always call the place you live a house. When you're old, everyone else will call it a home.

The only reasonable argument for owning a gun is to protect yourself from the police.

You guys ain't experienced nothin' yet. Wait until you reach the point where you hear the microwave beep it's competed cycle, you walk into the kitchen, open the refrigerator and find yourself staring into the abyss wondering just what it was you were looking for in the fridge.

I often walk into the bathroom and forget to pee.

Yeah, Mike; you can really get rusty on chess when you don't play much. If you want a bit of a reality test, you can download the Tarrasch GUI and Rybka engine for free here . The most recent Rybka version is the world computer champion with a strength around 3300. The older version included free is "only" about 3000(my favorite 3rd move is resign).

I often walk into the bathroom and forget to pee. Oh trust me. When you reach my age that will not be a problem. You'll be lucky to make it in time. As Jack Nicholson said, in the character of Edward Cole in The Bucket List, "never pass up a bathroom."

A friend of mine (47) is just winding up his 7 year tenure as homedad.
He has a PhD in molecular biology from Harvard.
He has a theory about IQ and parenting.
For each child you raise, your IQ will drop 1 point per year for all 18 years. That's 36 lost points for two kids.
I can't do the math to figure out what number that would be in Canada, but it would be higher. Apparently, all of their numbers are higher.

So, an IQ of 150 in Canada would be something like 28 in USA?
