So, now when I go to youtube in the first page I get the preview of some music videos of bands I like and..2 previews of "teaching socials skills to kids with AS"....why ? can you understand that there are tons of valuable things in life not related to these magical social skills no one cares about ? what about teaching logic thinking and good manners to those social wizards of NT's instead ? when did the world became so obsessed with social skills ? please, we don't need your crap, just shut the f**k up and leave us alone. Yeah, I know, it's way too much to ask...

From 0 to 1,000, the letter "A" only appears once - in 1,000 ("one thousand")

I had the most amazingly epic night on WoW last night :lol:

So I am assigned a quest where I have to get some items from a particular leader of a local ogre tribe. Come to find out, he's being protected by two elite guards who are super tough and there's absolutely no way I can take them both on by myself. I'm rather tough myself and can take on 4 or more of the regular ogres by myself, but elites? Impossible! I try a few times in vain but die quickly. Finally, I admit to myself that I must get someone to help me and am about to call it a night when another player appears by my side.

It is a troll rogue, a member of the Horde - sworn enemies of the Alliance of which I, as a night elf druid, am a part. Horde and Alliance typically kill each other on sight. We gaze at each other for a moment, perhaps wondering who will attack first. With no knowledge of each other’s language, we cannot communicate. Then, silently, the rogue points toward the ogre leader that I need to kill.

We both stealth and sneak into the building together and attack. It is an extremely tough battle, I switch between cat (deals more damage) and bear (tougher, able to take more damage) forms and heal myself often. I'll admit, more than once I was forced to take travel form and run for my life. But we managed to pull it off. Twice! They respawned right on top of us and we had to fight for our lives all over again.

I got what I needed from the ogre leader and I hope my unusual ally got what he needed as well. I will never know if he, too, had a quest to kill the ogre or if he was just an unlikely Good Samaritan. We saluted each other and went our separate ways.

This is the stuff legends are made of. :lol:

Due to inflation, 550,000 Zimbabwean Dollars were worth 1 USD in July 2006. At which time they cut three zeros and released the Second Zimbabwean Dollar at a rate of 1000:1.

So 550 Second Zimbabwean Dollars were equal 1 USD in August 2006. Inevitably the Second Zimbabwean Dollar devalued too, until in July 2008 758,530,000,000 second dollars were worth 1 USD. They then cut further 10 zeros off the currency to release the Third Zimbabwean Dollar (10,000,000,000:1). In August 2008 1,780 third dollars were worth 1 USD.

Third Dollar devalued too through 2008, and eventually reached an exchange rate of 300,000,000,000,000 third dollars for 1 USD. In February 2009 further twelve zeros were cut (1,000,000,000,000:1) to create the Fourth Zimbabwean Dollar.

Fourth Zimbabwean Dollar quickly devalued to 150,000 dollars for 1 USD, until it was suspended just two months later in April 2009. Zimbabweans now use foreign currency.

Let's put all those zeros back on, and adjust for inflation.

One US dollar is equal to this many original Zimbabwe dollars:

1,500,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

People who are rude to and test the limits of those who are groggy and have just woken up,
deserve the insults that they were predestined to receive from before the world began.
