Ironically, Bush's IQ is in that range, and he had powerful connections. I still think Obama is smarter though. Maybe he's in the 200 range

Aaron is such an asshole. He was more or less rubbing it in Steven's face and lying to him at the same time. Hopefully, Steven will have better luck with Nathan.

You're right about that. There's bound to be some enemies ahead. How many I'm not sure, but I know Granger and his crew can handle it!

It's always been one of my favorites. Dreams and Clipped Wings is sort of a spin-off. It's not finished, but what he's written so far is good. So who is your favorite LiS character?

I've thought about it, but I've never actually tried it. For some reason, death isn't appealing to me.

Dawn of Tears was the first story of yours that I read, Dan. I have avoided discussion about it up until now, because I was mad, very mad about it for a long time, the ending that is. I can understand getting frustrating with readers, but at the same time, it was really not a good way that it turned out that way. It was a good story from what I remember, but it was no less disappointing in the end. As a reader, it really upset me. As an author, I can understand the frustration.

Happy birthday, Graeme! I hope you're having a good one.

I like Shikamaru as well, Nephy! He'd probably be the 4th on my list.

I've never read it. What's it all about? That will give me a clue of whether or not I want to read it.

I'm not one to bitch about them. I simply inform. And oh how I miss George Granger and his adventures.

Happy birthday, Mark.

Happy birthday, Paul!

That would be Orochimaru.

It's funny. A lot of people have Sasake as a favorite, but I don't. He chose the wrong path, and to me it's a waste of his talent. Seeking revenge ultimately leads to ruin. He should know that. Unfortunately, he is now beyond redemption.

I'll get right to it. My favorite protagonists are Naruto, Gaara, and Kakashi. I like Naruto because he never gives up. There's no doubt he will be the Sixth Hokage! He's awesome. Gaara is pretty awesome too. He sand abilities are amazing. He's also has a crazy side, which I absolutely love. He's also hot. Kakashi is a talented ninja, and he seems to be one who defies the odds. Kakashi was also responsible (along with Jiraiya) of keeping Naruto safe and helping him develop. They both have done an excellent job of this. Plus, the Chidori is freaking awesome. There's no doubt about that! My favorite villains are Deidara, Kakuzu, and Itachi. Deidara is a lot of fun as far as I'm concerned. He is quite skilled. Even though I disliked him for kidnapping Gaara, his who fascination with blowing shit up more than make up for it! Kakuzu is also one of my favorites, because he's understandable. We all have thought of killing people who piss us off. I felt sorry for him though. He had to put up with Hidan. (By the way, I love how Hidan was "incapacitated".) Kakuzu, more than anything, was terrifying, and what's not to love about a terrifying figure who collects hearts? That's pretty effing sweet in my book. Though his methods leave a lot to be desired, Itachi ultimately wanted to protect Konohagakure. I think the slaying of his clan was over-the-top, but he did it so that he could make a name for itself and seek the destruction of Akatsuki from the inside. My favorite fallen heroes are Jiraiya, Hiruzen Saratobi, and Minato Namikaze. Jiraiya, of course, is awesome! He's the pervy sage after all! He also protected Naruto at the risk of his own life and taught him many great things. Then there's Hiruzen Saratobi, who risked his life to save the village from Orochimaru, who is the character I always hated the most. He may have been old, but he was powerful, and he understood that the children were the king. Minato Namikaze made a difficult decision. He chose to instill a monster inside his son's body to protect the village. Even though that act was the cause of great pain for Naruto, it was the only way to stop the Nine-Tailed Fox Demon and protect the village from future threats. Naruto also carries with him his father's determination, and while Naruto's intelligence is downplayed, he also has his father's intelligence and skill as a ninja even if he doesn't always show it. I have leave favorite lists too, but it's too much effort. However, I can name the ones who come to mind. My least favorite villains are Orochimaru, and that whiny bitch, Sasake. As far as protagonists, I'm not fond of Kiba. He's an arrogant prick. I was glad when Naruto kicked his ass. Of the fallen heroes, I have no least favorite. They all died with honor.

Happy birthday to GA's hottest redhead.

Well, there are computer savvy people around here, so I thought I'd see if someone might have an idea.

Okay, so I have been trying to access a website. Someone else was able to access the website, but for some reason I can't. I've deleted my cookies and internet history and cache, but it fixed nothing. I ping of the website came back as my own IP Address. Does anyone know how I can possibly fix this problem?

Well, I know of some people who used to play games in graveyards, one of which involved sex, so you're not as creepy as you think. No, I am not the one who played those games.

My symptoms are worse than ever!

It's a good show. I watched it all a few years ago. Justin was hot! By the way, you and your boyfriend are naughty. So do you actually sleep with the guys? Is there a contest to see how many of them you can take to bed?

I have a fascination with serial killers. They live by different standards. They are incapable of love. I find it fascinating how different they are from "normal" people. If I had the drive, I'd become a forensic psychiatrist and study them for a living. It has to be one of most fascinating career getting inside their heads. And no, I am not a sociopath or someone capable of being a mass murderer of any kind.

That's the general idea, Jan. I made a slight change to 16. Those who have ready will know that I mentioned...

Chapter 16 is posted.
