Hobbies & Games > Video Game Consoles & Accessories Will the new Nintendo WII be a success?
5 of 18

I think the Wii is already proving a success, and will go on to prove a bigger one. The most obvious way that something can be successful is to make a lot of money, but there are other successes too. The biggest reason I think the Wii will succeed is that it is opening gaming up to a bigger audience, people gaming has tradit... More..

Entertainment > Movie Genres Favorite movie lines
19 of 40

There are so many fantastic lines in movies this could potentially be a really difficult question to answer; but the question isn't, "What's the greatest movie line ever?" It's just what are my favourites, and there are two which immediately spring to mind. 1) "The Truth About Cats And Dogs" is not an especially memorable or... More..

Arts & Humanities > Writing Tips Uses of the word "there"
1 of 2

In philosophical terms "there" is like a place-holder for whatever it is you want to talk about. Statements like, "Go over there!" or, "Have you seen that there?" illustrate its most straightforward uses. In these examples it's a place or localised area, an object, or perhaps an event.

11 of 16

Sudoku is a number puzzle based more on logic than numbers. First appearing in a New York puzzle magazine in the late 1970's, it became popularised in Japan from the mid 1980's; possibly due in part to the symbol-based language making more conventional Western puzzles eg 'Crosswords' difficult to implement. The Japanese publ... More..

Society & Lifestyle > North American Culture Why people love America
22 of 31

People love America because it's a nation that instills great patriotism in it's people. Few (if any) other countries have an 'Oath of Allegiance' available for citizens to take, which is one example of the grand sense of country and flag many American citizens subscribe to. More cynically, everyone cheers for their home tea... More..

A skilled artist can create finer pictures with fewer strokes. Trying to write an engaging story inside a tight word count is both the goal and the challenge of flash fiction. Authors who choose to write short stories are often warned by more experienced authors that, "Short stories are amongst the hardest to write; you have... More..

I sought to find an answer that would strip me of my strife, To find the great solution - the meaning of this life. I entered great reflection and I pondered long for years; Until I sensed the answer now had finally drawn near... Too late I found this life has but the meaning that we give it, And if you seek it's meaning the... More..

Hobbies & Games > Video Game Culture & Community Gaming humor: What is the funniest moment in a video game?
11 of 14

Video games aren't designed to be funny, they're designed to be entertaining... But with humour being one of the best ways to be entertained, and the breadth of the gaming experience ever-expanding it's only natural that humour should play it's own part. Where should you look to find it? I remember in my youth buying a game ... More..

Relationships & Family > Humor & Laughter Best comebacks for insults
11 of 14

The difficulty with this topic is that the best comeback for any insult is something that you temper to it individually, that makes the would-be ridiculer the one who ends up looking stupid and getting laughed at. If you can find a successful way of turning an insult on it's head and throwing it back at your opponent and thi... More..
