    Fake friends are like shadows, always near you at your brightest moments, but nowhere to be seen at your darkest hour.

    That's not just an arbitrary number.

    About 700 pounds.
    Compared to beavers, groundhogs/woodchucks are not adept at moving timber, although some will chew wood. (At Cornell, woodchucks that gnaw their wooden nest boxes are given scraps of 2-by-4 lumber.) A wildlife biologist once measured the inside volume of a typical woodchuck burrow and estimated that -- if wood filled the hole instead of dirt -- the industrious animal would have chucked about 700 pounds' worth.

    @Timshel_ what happened to mousepads? why don't people use them anymore?

    Optical mice replaced the ball and sensor mice which needed something "grippy" to move the mouse ball on. Optical run on most surfaces, but cannot be too shiny.

    And don't we all miss having to remove the ball and clean the rollers/sensors?

    I miss the one with the ball on top you moved with your thumb

    My wife still uses a trackball....

    They still sell those. Supposed to be more ergonomic, but anyone like me who spends 14 hours a day on a computer knows that every input apparatus and device will eventually cause some kinda of physical issue. We aren't meant for this!

    I can't use them...they just feel strange to me. I started in the early 80's on an Atari 400 and haven't stopped. I've come to accept that my wrists will always hurt.

    I use this, and have for many many years. Just bought 4 more in case mine breaks and they discontinue the mouse.

    If you go to Walmart and you don't see any weird people, does that make YOU the weird person?

    I purposefully grow out my toenails, & paint them all purty, and sharpen them. Get out my purty sandals. Get out my leopard print leggings. Backcomb my hair. (A good Peggy Bundy look) Put in a piece of chewing gum, and get a good butt-crack-syndrome thing going on for me....before I go into Walmart. Makes me feel like a celebrity when I shop in there. ;)

    There is more knowledge accessible in the palm of your hand now than anyone has ever had access to in the history of mankind.

    Unless you believe in aliens, cuz aliens.
