Damn, nothing cool ever happens where I live, maybe it's Gordon Brown's fault.
Did anyone here get affected?

Wow, it's pretty widespread now, I hope it doesn't effect Pokedigi, or Shinn, or the relatives of any of the Chinese members who aren't in China.

Well, the Government in China decided that tomorrow (19th May 08) on 2.18 pm (Beijing Time), all Chinese people would be silent for 3 or 4 min to remember the dead.

If you're asleep doesn't that almost by default mean that you're silent? Unless you snore badly or something.
