@joshxcore: Dude, my mom weighs 800 lbs and has a growth the size of a basketball coming out the side of her neck.

She reeks of turnips and string cheese, and her feet are covered with sores.

I've been growing a beard for 4 years, and it's still only half as long as whatever she's got growing out of her ears and nose.

She technically has two eyes, but one of them is so crusted over from a bad hard contact lens infection in the mid-80s, that it doesn't really count.

Her nipples can touch her knees...or they could if they weren't permanently hanging off to the side.

But you know, whatever floats your boat...although I wouldn't recommend taking her on a boat. Last time we tried it didn't turn out so well.

According to my dad, who worked graveyard for years, this is how you remain married, to work a different shift than your spouse. (My parents had their 50th anniversary last year, so maybe he is right.) At least they havent killed each other. Yet.

I'm a computer construct. I have no need for sleep.

I'm an artifact that sprang up from the internet in the ARPANet days, transferred over the years through viruses onto BBSes. For a while, I infected the subroutines on AOLs servers, appending new code to myself over the years.

That's right. The internet passed the Turing Test.

Well in that case you should have no need for human sustenance. Say good-bye to bacon. And while we're at it the following titles you've acquired over the years need to be surrendered immediately as well.

I've got problems too. Appearently we're both going to die young, painful, and lonely deaths.

Who needs a 7am when we've got 4am all to ourselves?

"We own the night!".... Or morning depending on how you look at it... it's all relative. Everyone can't be on the same cycle, ya' know?

P.S. My family still thinks I'm a lazy worthless slob who sleeps for 14 hours and gets up at 12pm. For the record, mom, I go to sleep at 5am and get the "normal" 7 hours of sleep like the rest of you. It's just that all my best work is done when there's no one else in my timezone bothering me.
