Sorry, haven't gotten much sleep lately. I just re-read that and noticed how "off" that sounds. I'm fixing it now. :oops: And I never gave myself that title by the way, so don't harp on me about it!

You haven't had much sleep recently? It's 7:40 in the morning, and I'm still awake.

I can't wait for finals to be over.

I'm not saying I'm the only one here. But when you've worked all Monday night, then come home and stayed awake to study for a midterm Tuesday night, then come home again, grabbed a few hours sleep, then worked on a stupid project all day Wednesday, you're going to be pretty loopy.

Maybe Dragonball's AD stands for 'Akira's Destiny'. Because it is, after all, his destiny to be known as the creator of Dragonball, despite his other great works. :-P

That is a joke, but hell, it makes a certain amount of sense.

I know exactly how you feel. Thank god this is the last time I ever have to do this in my life ever. Writing 4,000 words in one night isn't fun.

Yes, 4,000 words sounds like a wonderful way to spend a night! I hope you're not offended Liam when I say better you than me, although you have my sympathy. And ever noticed that after a while, you start dreaming about work and school during the little points where you can sleep, so you don't even know which is the reality anymore?

Man, last year, I thought May 12th was a holiday or a birthday, and so I spent a great deal of time trying to remember which holiday/birthday it was. I felt pretty silly when I remembered why May 12th was a significant date to me.

That's pretty much like saying "I'm a person" on this board. :-P

Why Ben how dare you imply that we're all nerds here! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to go and spend the next 3 hours dusting off my anime figure collection with a toothbrush. :wink:

Tripitaka (Hsuan-Tsang) lived from 594 to 664, and so Journey to the West would have to take place in that period. Unless Ch'eng-en Wu was a sloppy bum who didn't give a damn about historic accuracy.

I know I'm lost, but I must say it did always confuse me how in the Dragonball world they had dinosaurs, making it seem in the past, yet they have all kinds of technology such as flying cars!

Aww. I was hoping he'd have the green Robin Hood-type outfit on too.

I do want that t-shirt, though.

And in a completely different universe.

Y'know, that always struck me as weird. Why'd they make those years so far in the past, and not in the future. And if it was an alternative universe type thing, why'd they have AD after them?
Maybe Jesus was Kami's son? :lol:

Uh..Lets just say it was Baby Bonnie Hood! Ya know, the girl who's little red riding hood but hides grenades in her basket, has a machine gun and the hunter of her story is a guy who works for the navy!

No?
