Mom was right -- video games are bad!

People can argue all day long about gaming being bad for you, but there's no debate that "Arm Spirit," a Japanese arm wrestling game, is harmful to your health. The arcade cabinet featured a plastic robot arm that went against players, but unfortunately, it was a bit too aggressive for some -- it broke three gamers' arms. In total, 150 cabinets were recalled, even though a spokesperson said, "Even women should be able to beat it."

During my spacewalk, I inadvertently dropped my blackberry; and in an effort to reach it as it floated away, I came loose from my tether and found myself drifting away in space. Please help me get back to my orbiter!

Even women can beat it? You sexist busterd [ you know what I mean]I've never heard such a sexist thing, except where menn and women can work the same job, and men get paid better. Let me tell you this: if I ever caught that spokesperson he would be in a coma. The minute he wakes up BAM! Oh, back in a coma. Then the cycle goes on. "Where am I" BAM! "Ma'am you can't stay much longer-" BAM! Oh, look. There goes the nurse.Now this is just an example. I would assault anybody [unless there was a good reason!] But I really want to sow these people that women are just as good as men. Women brought men into this world, and we can take them back out.
