I haven't touched Java in about 6 months and I have just under 2 hours to become an expert (rather than a what-do-I-need-to-get-the-job-done coder) in it.

@starbreaker Tony Stark is a genius and all that, but he's also really a self-centered dick who nobody in their right mind would want to hang out with.

In the service of his Lord
He was trampling through the warehouse
Where the drapes of Roth are stored

@SuzanEraslan Mazel tov!

@Stephen_Stone That film was a lot of fun!

@DialMforMara I haven't had caffeine in about 3 years, and even when I drink something as innocuous as a Coke I feel it! (I don't drink much of that, though)

@pzmyers I'm with you. Why drink Irn Bru when you can drink whisky?

If you're ever at the point where you're defending the use of torture you might want to rethink your life choices.
