If you want more, let me know (cheap plug for comments). If you want to add you own, click here for the rules. I like rules. Unless I'm told to follow them. Then they suck. Unless my children are reading this. If so, then rules are good. Really, really good. And why aren't you studying? Anway, that's the news.

More in the future if you like.
