ok, before I start, is it just me who excessively uses this part of the forum? anyways, I am rather needing everyone's advice ASAP. You see, it's my brother's birthday soon and uh...I don't know what to get him - and don't say that I should know him better than you guys because to tell you the truth, we just talk about trivial things over MSN and that is about it. So I don't know what to give him. He's coming here soon and uh - I'm really stuck on ideas. Can anyone help?? oh and have I said this before? it's strange because whenever I've got TONS of free time and I'm on, nobody is???!!!

Ok this sounds really stupid but I know what my absolute favorite gift I have gotten was. First when I was like 5 years old I got some cow boy boots, remember those Brent? But this isn't my suggestion. What I think you should get him is a tool set. Yep. That is the dorkiest thing ever but I use mine almost every day! But I have no idea what your brother is in to. I like cars and I have a few that I fix myself so I like that idea. But whatever... sorry I couldn't help.

Thanks guy! but my brain's befuddled a bit...what is a SQUEE exactly?! And no he's my older brother...urm l'emme do the maths. He's five years older than me A tool set sounds good, except my brother doesn't use it at all, annnnnnnd...what is a snake food? your brother didn't eat it did he? lol But now that i've been thinking and asking around, how does getting him a jumper sound? Or is that waaaaay too girly?

Snake food? That's awesome!!!! Even though it's trail mix. I wish I had a snake! Squee is a GREAT dark humor comic book. It's funnier than JTHM but that's good also. If you want to see what it looks like you can always just type in "SQUEE" at amazon.com or ebay even.

i feel so mean, im so unhelpful snailo look at your signature, IT IS WRONG I have done alot of research right now on this, this is my findings. 20.43 births/1,000 population since there is like 644,000,000 people (I have exact just to lazy) in the world it and per 1000 population there is 20.43 births per year, there is 131,694,464.5 births per year. The average DEATH rate is 8.83 deaths/100 population, which means 56,919.34 people die a year. www.makepovertyhistory.org says every DAY 30,000 children die from extreme poverty. That means that in one year (one year=365.242199 days) that means that 10,957,266 die per year that means that about 1/7 of population that dies is from extreme poverty in africa takea look at this, africas population is about 1/10 of the worlds population. Is One 6th of all the others, I mean come on. Wait a second 1/6 of the worlds death rate is from children in africa, not just the adults, WHICH THE AVERAGE LIFE RATE IS LIKE 38 YEARS OLD!!! 50% of africa's population is children, so we can assume 50% of population in poverty is children. that means that they would ALL die out. So what your saying to me is about 1/3 of people that die, are children, thats just insane.......... way too insane. So with are statistics here I'd say 10 children die a day because of extreme poverty . I also belive africans are stupid, there death rate is INSANE and there birth rate is just as insane, its like they have to have babies to keep africa populated. (Not trying to be offensive or mean, I just think that junk is WAYY over exajerated) My Phiolosphy: The whole world becomes one country, we make all tropical rainforest areas full of trees, everything trees so that we can make up for the other treese we cut down Plant aton of underwater plants like ATON and make everything natural in the amazon and stuff, and if you wanted to live in the jungle you can, but then use a big dynamite thing to connect every single cotinent (exept antartica) into one big land mass and fill 1/10 with tree use 0.5 of the 1/10 of the world being trees to use for paper and stuff. everyone is happy everyone loves eachother there is no such thing as terrorisim or war and the world song is: what the world needs now, is love sweet love.

O-K........*shakes head to get rid of the statistics*.........I AM REALLY CONFUSED! I took one look at your message and swore so loudly that my friends were like 'wtf?' About your philosophy though, I didn't read properly since it involved scientific words so I'll just give it a blind thumbs up - however, about your statement on 'africans are stupid' i want you to take that back straight away. And I don't feel like doing maths cos i just spent my four and half hours of my afternoon doing maths, I can not correct your or agree with you on your first paragraph............SO, to make things easier, I shall change my siggy k? just thought i might be nice and help ppl. and dw, you have been helpful (some way lol) but next time i have a crisis - you can jump in and HELP ME hehe
