-if your name is listed in the phone book it can be a scary thing.......
go to google and type in your phone number......what you find may astonish you.......it will show your NAME, ADDRESS, PHONE NUMBER and the directions to your door!!!!!if you are not listed in the phone book it will not show up.......try it and see.....if it IS there, just click on the underlined info, and then follow directions to have your name and number taken out of their database..........it is sooo scary that anyone can punch in your number and find out all that information.........

and your point is?
what we cant have a thread with useless facts on it? k whatever then, so far your the only one complaining.
The outdoor temperature can be estimated to within several degrees by timing the chirps of a cricket. It is done this way: count the number of chirps in a 15-second period, and add 37 to the total. The result will be very close to the actual Fahrenheit temperature. This formula, however, only works in warm weather.

What does this have to do w/ skateboarding? This IS useless and should be closed.

That post was uncalled for.
This thread is in the lobby. Skateboarding directed threads belong in the skateboarding-directed forum. Is this thread in the skateboarding-directed threads?
No.
Then again, you posted a thread about a child who bugged you, and another one of your recent thread about "I need dating help"
Tobacco contains: Rat poison, and the same gases used against the Jewish, in the concentration camp's gas chambers.

And those should be closed as well or we should have an off topic forum.

You are missing my point. WE DO HAVE AN OFF TOPIC FORUM!
