They don't plagirize anything. They usually just link to it. It's a blog. Make sure to get some good hosting first though

You have it all wrong, you can't just bathe with it, it has to be plugged in, too. :wink: And a hairdryer has exactly the same anti-depressing powers.

HMMMM........could you bathe with a car battery? or a car battery connected to a toaster? 'cause there's no outlet near the tub anymore......but if I could get the hairdryer theory to work, you could do your hair-IN HELLLLLL!!!!!!!
But if you stick with the toaster theory, you could have nice crispy buttered toast in the morning- WITH SATAN!!!!!
But if you were good, you could have nice crispy buttered toast in the morning- WITH JESUS!!! MMMMM- JESUS TOAST!!!
Don't you go stealing my ideas that will help the world,kids!

I'm OK!!! i'm getting better!!! Whenever I kick a 5 year old I don't feel as much joy as I did before! and when my cat took a bath with a toaster, thanks to my brilliant idea, I didn't laugh as hard!!

Are you capable of creating sane posts, or have you been cursed to spew excrement from your mouth for all eternity? :|

Did you get interviewed? They'll probably take your idea. Also, in OXM magazine- your Xbox 360 laptop....did you send that in or were you asked if it was OK by their moderators to show that after they saw it on benheck.com?
Been there... A UK Nintendo magazine ran with my Handheld Gamecube without my approval and without interviewing me.. And they got a lot of details wrong!

Dude, was that NGamer? I think I remember reading it in there, it was in the World of Nintendo...I didn't realise they hadn't got your permission, I usually really like NGamer :P. Still, I guess its good to get the portabilastion(sp?) scene some mainstream exposure

Yeah it was NGamer..

I said to them they didn't have my permission, and they should have emailed me and I would have given them permission and something to print with the article, instead they made a severely edited post in their third issue from the emailI sent them, half of which was bull... They never printed the email I sent them after that.
