It's not work safe, though.

Particularly the last sentence - please, can we have that one now? (Really want a good national health care plan and six weeks of paid vacation - that's what the Europeans have.)


Although...for the funny...I think this link is even better:

I almost hurt myself. It's for anyone who has ever received or posted a comment on the internet.

The horror film that scared my mother...

Guillermo Del Toro has just remade the 1973 telepic - Don't Be Afraid of The Dark, which he considers the scariest and creepiest television horror film ever done. My mother would agree with him.

John Newland’s 1973 made-for-TV drama “Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark” is widely considered a high water mark for feature-length broadcast productions. Produced as an ABC movie of the week, it belonged to a series that also included Steven Spielberg’s “Duel” and the early Michael Douglas vehicle “Shattered Silence,” among many others. Those with adolescent memories of watching Newland’s movie usually recall its genuine frights, an experience made particularly resonant by the capacity to watch it within the solitary environment of one’s own home.

Your probably thinking - eh...so what? Right? But...

My mother doesn't scare easy - well not when it comes to horror films at any rate. I think the only thing that scares my mother is heights.
