Spam is now...

Hey now, spam may be a cesspit, but it's a RESPECTABLE cesspit.

Until Smiral posts, anyway.

@Frizan

Smiral's a better poster than 95% of the people here, including you. So hush.

Oh man, thought my white knight days were over. Awson, I've joined you once more, it seems.

TB doesn't surprise me, especially after that children's hospital had a TB outbreak and declared bankruptcy this year

Blame my course, not me. I knew how to not be an analytical bastard once, I swear D:

I can't be the only one...

I never could sleep. Even when I was a kid, I would annoy my parents by having these nights when I wouldn't get to sleep and would keep whining about it.

Now that I'm an adult, I'm the guy who volunteers for night shift. It usually means more money, and I'm comfortable with it. I've reached the point where sleep isn't a thing I think I have to do at certain times, it is just a thing I do when I feel like it is time.

@Vilageidiotx

Yeah, I'm pretty much the same. Everyone thinks I'm a little mental for beginning problem sheets at 5am or something, but hey, it works for me.

I was going to put down Catch-22 last night, then I realised the next chapter was the Eternal City, which is my favourite in anything ever. Carried me through till four. A couple of times I've read something through a single night, mostly last year though. Flicking ahead to count chapters is always dangerous.

@KnightShade

Catch-22 is amazing, can't blame you for getting caught up. It's a bad habit though - books should be savoured, not just devoured, but I can't help it.

Looks like you need to manage your pre-sleep hours better.

@scribz

You know that sanctimonious crap you come out with every time you turn up? Yeah, leave it at the door. Ty bbz <3

State-specific leading causes of death (brought to you by NPR?)

It's not leading causes of deaths. x_x it's the most distinctive cause of death for each state. In other words, what cause of death in each state happens there more than in any other state. So "Texas has more people dying of tuberculosis than any other state", not "Tuberculosis is the leading cause of death in Texas".

Sorry, that statistician in me couldn't help it.

I can't be the only one...

My sleeping pattern is fucked. So I go to bed at 6am or so. Late, it's starting to get light outside, but whatever. I can still wake up around noon and do plenty with my day, even if it means missing lectures.

I decide I'll read for a while to help me drift off. Just a chapter or so.

... and I see I'm 70% of the way through the book and think, well, I'll finish it tomorrow if I read another 5%...

... and then I'm at 80% and I think, well, this is pretty damn compelling, ten more minutes won't hurt...

... and then I'm at 90% and, well, you know how it is, I may as well just finish the book at that point...

And then I finish. Awesome. Stayed up a little later than I should have, sure, but it can't have taken me that lon- HOLY SHIT IT'S 9.30AM AND LECTURES STARTED A HALF HOUR AGO.

... how much did I read to "help me drift off", I wonder. Oh, just 200 pages.

FUCK.

Please tell me this happens to you guys too.

all of the threads on the front page are absolute trash

Nah, this is even trashier than the others. Mainly because it's trashing the others.

@Rilla

You haven't disappeared forever at any point, proven by the existence of this thread.

Putting a lot of pressure on your kid, there. What if they don't want to go to an Ivy League, huh? :c

Kid

This is actually Spam's first child, or at least as far as I can recall in all the time I've been here. By which I mean, this is the first time a consistent long-term member has had a kid.

Shit dude.
