Our government's attitude towards international relations:

-If you do not have nuclear weapons, we will invade your country if we feel like it.
-If you do have them, we gonna leave yo' ass alone!

HO LEEEE COW!!!!

EGM has another hilarious installment of their Child's Play feature, where they gather kids' opions on the cutting-edge time wasters of yesteryear. Their reaction to Mike Tyson's Punchout (a game I spent many an hour sitting Indian style in front of) is priceless, and their adoration for the first Legend of Zelda is surprising. The first installment can be found here.

You know what really, really, really, really grates on me? When someone makes a statement, then says "Why?", then answers their own question.

Example:

Me: "I don't like sardines."
Stupid Person: "I like sardines. Why? Because they are the only friends I have."

The "why" is completely unnecessary. If you are giving support for your statement, a "because" is sufficient. Or, you can end your sentence and begin a new sentence providing the support for your argument. Saying "Why?" between thoughts makes you sound like a pompous, arrogant blowhard and immediately reduces the validity of your supporting statement.

Saying "because" instead of "why" - it's a good thing.
