Societal concerns aside... I just hope that as memory gets less expensive, the possibility of transferring our brains onto a digital medium becomes a true reality.

I like Rios even more now after that incident. Yeah, he could have signed for the kid, but if some twat calls me out in public like that, I'm gonna lose it too. And to the idiots who think "he doesn't care," isn't it obvious that he does with the way he reacted and all?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
