excuse me i think you will find that geeks are usually nice guys and that anyone who does not think geeks are nice to be around is invariably a jock, a lazy minority, or a slut; furthermore,

Batman The dark knight rises is creating theory's every where on the web and all i keep reading is trust Nolan. and batman will die. I haven't herd one theory saying Bruce will just get his back broke by bane and they will have a character take up the mantle as batman but not any batman. batman beyond cause if i remember watching this cartoon batman had his back broke. that is part of my theory that could be one reason why they show batman's mask. so john Blake could possibly take up the mantle. Nolan said he was doing no more batman movies never said anything about batman beyond movies. another thing is robin would have to fit in here cause in batman the animated series he meets bane when hes with robin. just like in the old batman movies bane was always introduced when batman was with robin. so could batman beyond play a role in this upcoming film. could night-wing. so i want people to stop saying batman will die cause he wont and i also want people to stop saying no robin and no new batman because for all you people know i could be wright and if in my case im right in your face everybody saying there stupid theory's that don't make sense. Post on this if you have a problem with my understanding theory that makes great sense.


This article should not be speedily deleted for lack of asserted importance because... (you shouldnt delete another one of my pages cause whoever is doing this you are being a dick i have not done anything wrong but give my oppinion on what could happen so i dont understand why you whant to delete my page tell me please and i will fix it so that is just one simple request.)

i went to read about cochlear implants

quote:

The discovery that electrical stimulation in the auditory system can create a perception of sound occurred around 1790, when Alessandro Volta (the developer of the electric battery) placed metal rods in his own ears and connected them to a 50-volt circuit, experiencing a jolt and hearing a noise "like a thick boiling soup".

i talked to some deaf idiot a while ago who got megaoffended when I said that the government should give all deaf children hearing implants for free and also that being deaf is pretty much the same as being blind.

he got really mad that children would no longer be forced to grow up unable to communicate with most people; and said that BLIND PEOPLE DONT EVEN HAVE A CULTURE WE DO RARGRLE RARGLE

he also thought the idea of teaching everyone sign languague, hearing or deaf alike, is offensive lol

So hot ...

There has been an increasing rise in the prevalence of gamers living together to save costs through sharing utilities and physical resources. Whether they are a part of a clan, guild, or other online association costs can be shared so that more time can be spent gaming. Current eSports titles that feature competitive online-play, such as LeagueofLegends, have been increasingly referring to this form of communal living as the 'game-house', as shared by Reginald from TSM gaming.

i once almost got in a fight over a pub quiz when a pivotal question was something like "after english, which language is spoken in the most countries?" and the supposed answer was sign language even though it's not "spoken" nor is it the same language in all countries

that's a really terrible question anyway because i'll bet all 6 of the official united nations languages have native speakers in every country in the world, so even if sign language does have speakers users in every country, at best it is a tie

i mean come on, 1/5 of the world is chinese, every country in the world is virtually guaranteed to have at least one speaker of chinese
