A lot of boring stuff... Or maybe interesting?
Hee. Hee hee.
It's not that I'm laughing at the Brits. Not at all. I wish I were British. I find it funny though that they're arguing over when to butter a crumpet--before or after it's been heated. Technically it doesn't matter, though if you butter it and then microwave it you might end up with a bit of a skin and unpleasant smell...

So, now that we're on the topic (assuming you visited above page), I ask of you your favorite teas. I like Earl Grey and English breakfast. Yumm.
Also, since I got an old Pokemon Red game for Christmas from a friend at school (I love you, Mary and Jenny!), I've been looking at all the glitches found in the early games. It's really quite interesting. Really. There's a way to get Mew in all 3 early versions. There are variations of it, too. Well, it has nothing to do with pushing trucks around. There is a truck, but you can't do anything to it. It just sits there like a lump. How blah. Why they put it there, I'm not really sure, though some rumor that pushing it does produce a Mew in the Japanese version--while others disprove that rumor.
There's also Glitch City, and of course MissingNo. and 'M. If you don't know about those, Glitch City isn't incredible but MissingNo. is useful and popular--you can find stuff about that easily. And... The little things --OH CRAP I MISSED FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST #$%*$%%&$##$%&!!!-- like getting into Cycling Road without your bike, fiddling with the music, seeing people on roofs and standing in trees, fishing in statues, finding Safari Zone Pokemon on the east coast of Cinnabar, getting weird Dittos, getting into SS Anne after it's "gone", the invisible PC in the hotel... *deep breath* Then there's a gazillion things that can happen during link battles, especially if you take the link cable out at any point or it is loose. "I once had an Articuno use Ice Beam on a very low-level Charmander, only to have the trainer send out infinite 0HP Charmanders that fainted as soon as they were used." Like that. Also interesting is this little thing. Geeky, but very cool. (Why the makers felt the need to have the game remember the stats of the last Pokemon you fought, I'm not sure.) But you have to remember when using glitches...Your game can and probably will get messed up. If your game doesn't completely crash, weird things will happen. I read about someone who glitched up his game and ended up fighting a trainer's burned Kakuna (burned before the battle started) which used leer, causing his Pokemon to faint after 5 turns. If you don't care about that though, it can be fun to watch weird stuff happen. Yup. ^_^

Does anyone remember my tea question?
