All Saiyuki fans should check out Dazzle! Emotionally wrenching action-adventure and quirky humor! (At least read chapter 6 and tell me if you're not hooked.) Volume 10 out now!

I'm very good at ticking people off on April Fools' Day.

the girl I rode home with last night told me that her friend, and the friend's sister, who have both moved back in with their parents recently, got a pregnant woman to take a pregnancy test. Then simply left it out on the kitchen counter for their father to wonder about.

Did he wonder "who peed on this and then left it on my counter?"

probably not in so many words. But since it essentially said "whoever peed on this and left it on my counter is pregnant" and further conjecture would be "whoever left this on my counter is probably living here, which means my wife or one of my daughters." I reckon the words were probably "Who the **** in my Catholic house is pregnant?!"

Capture image of friends/co-workers computer, (of the desktop image)

Next, put the task bar on top of the screen, hide and lock said taskbar.

Hide icons.

Replace current desktop image with the new captured image.

Enjoy.

That. Totally. Rules.

Fell, why do you continue to ignore my question as to why HoM is now officially the favorite son?

Fell's not allowed to speak of it due to the plea agreement.

Amateur. But I suppose that's the best you can do without administrative access.
