Top ten most viewed pages on Wikipedia and Conservapedia

Alright. So here's a grain of possible salt: this is just a log of how many people looked at whichever page, not a log of /who/ looked at the pictures. If I wanted to see whichever crazy thoughts the conservatives were thinking up, what better page than homosexuality (and all the associated odd links)? So, yeah, the conservative kids can be crazy sounding, but these numbers might just be other more mainstream kids looking at what the conservs are thinking up.

You made it do the tank game, too!? Sweet! Everyone else in the class was too busy using it as a complicated paint program (*yawn*), though it's more fun (and effective) than the Spriographs of the 80's. (And I really missed the Atari's disappearing tank game...)
Ironically (and wonderfully), after learning half a dozen other (more professional) programming languages, I'm doing my compuational cellular biology models in NetLogo.

Haha, I agree with the 300 people lunch conversation, but at the same time, there are a lot of... 'time-dependant' emails that accumulate--things like where Laura and I want to eat on Thursday or where Wednesday's meeting will be (etc, etc). Gmail does a beautiful job creating the message 'threads' (i think they call it) where the 7 emails that Laura and I pass back and forth Thurs morning will be tied together, and when you delete (or open/etc) one, they all delete (or etc).
But I still have to delete every email about where Wed night's meeting will be... it would be cool if there was a way to have it delete itself (say, on day after the event). (..."this message will self-destruct in 30 seconds"...) The person creating the email will have to remember to set a delete date/time, and that time would have to be encoded with all the non-message-content-data (whatever that's called), and the email-program will have to be able to read that peice of data... but it should be possible. (I would consider to be a great feature, and if someone like google started using it, it would have the needed user-base.)
