I'm not going to start a Platform War (still the biggest flamewar in internet history: PC vs Mac); I haven't had any issues with my iPhone updates & support(free online or in-person) For me it was the keyboard & predictive text that won me across the Platform Divide. .

Does anyone but old people say MaryJane any more? I don't paertaje, even though 100% legal in Canada, so I'm not updated on the terms, I still use Ganja & Reefer. I think the kids use Chronic, which is ironically admitt8ing you have a problem, yet still going with it. . . > ... Archaeologist: A person whose career lies in ruins. Breaking News: Archaeologists believe that they've uncovered a cache of pencils that belonged to William Shakespeare.

Archaeologists gathered to find the leg bones of ancient men It was a real shindig I really appreciated my archaeologist girlfriend's tent at the excavation site... I dug her dig's digs. Mess with an archaeologist; And you're history. You should never date an archaeologist, Because they're dating other people A2: Because they keep bringing up the past. Q: Why did the archaeologist have to get a new job? A: Because her career was in ruins! As an archaeologist, I could instantly tell the people of the ancient world were into sweet things...
