NCsoft sued for making Lineage II too darned addicting

Image via WikipediaGood luck with that. If they can get away with it, maybe I could rack in some quick cash by suing Garage Games for addicting PJ through Marble Blast Ultra, or Playdom for addicting Ivette through Sorority Life.
I wouldn't need to sue for myself because I am not an addict. Sure, I have played certain games for hundreds of hours, but I can stop any time I want so in reality it is not an addiction, just a healthy way to pass my idle time.

On sleep deprivation and Incan Monkey Gods

From: Dilbert comic strip for 08/03/1992 from the official Dilbert comic strips archive. I was trying to show this strip to a coworker who is dangerously toying with the harsh mistress that is Insomnia. What shocked me is how quickly I was able to look up the strip, which was published when he was just 11 years old, and two weeks before my just-out-of-college ass shipped out to US Army Basic Training.

The Black Hole

If this was a minigolf hole, you can't reach B from A. Ever. If this was a room lined with mirrors, and you lit a candle at point A, you can't see it from B, not even reflected. Update: I guess I didn't explain this all the way through. You can't reach B from A with just one stroke, there's no direct line between them, and there is no way to bounce the ball (assuming perfect conditions). Thanks to Ben for pointing this obvious error.
