There's no way of checking folks beforehand. They would just do enough to get an account, and then....WHAMMO! Knucklehead City!

Yeah. Some times they act normal, then it turns bad. There was a guy, maybe 2 years ago, who wanted to know Yada Akiko's address, because he wanted to send her a 50 pages love letter. :nut:

Usually one or two posts gives them away pretty easily: stupidity is hard to hide.

Until it's too late.

On a random note, howdy Geez', good to see you as it were.

Hee hee, Jdorama.com let me (another knucklehead) in... <nyuk nyuk nyuk> :doh: :hehe:

But seriously, a couple of interesting reads I'm in the midst of as well, to get back on topic, "Collapse" and "Guns, Germs, and Steel" by Jared Diamond.

Guns, Germs, & Steel is up there with Freakanomics as one of the most interesting books I've ever come across.



Cheers, :drink:

Sounds like you enjoyed Freakanomics, which I did. If so, I suggest you try The Undercover Economist.

This is more of a suggestion than "what I'm I reading."

I'm looking for a some good Japanese horror short stories/novels.

There has to be at least one J horror fan out there which can recommend something ^_^

I like Naruhito, simply because he stood up for her in a press conference, which made all the traditionalists scream murder. That was great.

Currently reading "Death March on Mount Hakk&#244;da" by Nitta Jiro, while waiting for the next Murakami to be released in a few weeks around here.

Yes. They all forget about prince charming, around that age. Then they spend their time looking for a jerk, so they can turn him into prince charming. :hehe: :P
