sorry for double post but...

His real name is Rajun, I was being a bit paranoid by calling him Rick but whatever..

My 5 year old cousin was diagnosed with Williams syndrome, and he will interact with complete strangers as if they are well known to him. Rick does have some cognitive deficiencies, for example he is currently unable to grasp the concept of addition, but knows all his numbers/alphabet various songs. He is able to recall relatively complex phrases/songs but is not able to make sense of them. I was not aware of this supposed lack of racial bias but Rick has no problem approaching people of any ethnicity, and seems to lack a concept of his identity as a brown person such as myself.

I'm not sure if this is a side effect of Williams syndrome or not but Rick has much better hearing than any of us in his family. If the phone rings and it is barely within earshot, Rick notices it. This is due to his fixation with things that beep, especially microwaves, phones and other electronics.

Fortunately Rick has been making major progress and is currently enrolled in kindergarten, but his short attention span means he requires an assistant to be with him at all times. I am suprised to see an article about Williams syndrome on slashdot but it's good that awareness of this disorder is being raised.

Hey, we're not all terrorists, but please continue the racial profiling so our white comrades can continue to carry out their missions.

just put the spider fibres on the inside of the jacket and it repels the sweat.

Probrem solved

Insensitive clod(s)!

Have you checked under the chair? He's not exactly Yao Ming ya know

you mean one of these badboys?

Phones in India are normally cheaper than here in Canada, but 49,990 rupees is 1138.21 CAD, you would have to be stupid to buy this phone.

Anybody know when it comes to Canada?

actually if you RTFA you would know that Google will not be testing any new youtube features to see if they are compatible with IE6. You will still be able to watch videos of a supermodel falling off the runway for example, just not with fancy new features.

I would rather take my chances being reincarnated as brutha, because the odds of being born again as a cool honky are much lower. And I don't mean wiggers.

I better cut back on those big macs...

Missing option:
cremated and then used as a fertilizer to grow some killer BC Bud, as seen in How High.

As a Sikh my people tend to be cremated after death, which I think is better than being buried in some overpriced box. Hope I am reincarnated as something cool like a tiger or black person.

I'm not sure what's used in these indicator strips but it's not litmus paper. FYI, the pH of water is 7, so it would have nothing to do with the color changing.

I successfully returned my water damaged phone to Bell by removing the water indicator sticker and replacing it with one I made myself using paper. It would have been very easy to detect but I got lucky I guess.

"I was so eager to test it that I pounded on this drive all night "

Possible poor choice of words?

off topic but...

all that matters is CANADA WON ANOTHER GOLD today!

And we're gonna win the gold in both mens and womens hockey, cuz we all know that the winter olympix are just aa huge hockey tournament with a bunch of other sports going on...

And vancouver rocks, if you need any BC bud and managed to get out of your moms basement long enough to reach the best city in the world, look for the brown guy with fake dreadlocks by the art gallery.
