Listening to a piece on the radio about how North Korea is getting into meth manufacturing and dealing as a state operation. Apparently some North Korean 'officials' have been caught trying to make sales in the US. lil' Kim needs to stop watching Breaking Bad. On a related note, there are...

I've been getting these popups on NS recently. Mostly they'd happen on the splash page when I click to enter the home page. I just got one clicking on a forum. Notice the URL. Something is redirecting an NS link to open the popup as that NS link. I've posted about them in another thread but...

Just watched the Project FleX video and it got me wondering, is it easier to throw down on SnowFlex than real snow? While the skiing was super sick and awesome to watch, could those dudes do all that on a snow jump? Or is the fact that the jump is an always perfectly shaped never changing jump...
