More people commonly know the ALS disease by the name of "Lou Gehrig's" disease. The former baseball player contracted the illness in 1939. ALS really has gained awareness compared to last year. In the year of 2013, ALS Association raised $2.8 million and the ALS Ice bucket challenge has made $100 million dollars in donations this year. About 6000 people are affected in the US yearly with ALS being a common brain disease. Though I do agree that celebrities have taken advantage of the ALS ice bucket challenge.

I only made 661st ;~;

My factbook now contains considerably more information than it did before. Writing can be very fun.

Meanwhile in Australia, I think the AFL might have rigged the last two months of football. A team that about half way through the year was on 3 wins 10 losses has suddenly won nine in a row and just barely squeezed into the finals. This includes beating the team who are ON TOP OF THE LADDER not fifteen minutes ago!

*mind blown* wow, reminds me of the Kansas City Chiefs last season where they won about 6 games in a row

If I may emphasize just how barely it was: that last game (against the top team, Sydney) was only won by three points. Richmond won by less than a goal (an AFL goal is 6 points for you non-Aussies).

Mm, AFL what does that stand for also I'm thinking about moving to either Australia or England how good is Australia?

AFL: Australian Football League.

Oh, so it's it played like American Football?

Freegunsforall

Not really. For one thing, AFL players rarely even have a mouth guard, let alone any other protective gear. The rules are quite different too, but I think the sheer number of differences would take too long to list here.

Oh, mm I'm more into cross country, but I do like watching football

Good Morning Islanders. It’s your friendly neighborhood XKI Lottery checking in to let you know that no one won the jackpot in the Big Draw game last night, which brings this coming Friday night’s Jackpot to a humongous 230,000 Tacos! Now, where else can you win big mullah like that, eh? To get in the game and grab your share of easy tacos, just go check out the rules and lay down your wagers in the forum at: http://10000islands.proboards.com/thread/27100/xki-lottery?page=1
And if you join our forum and have less than 1,000 tacos in your account, the lottery will give you a one-time free-play of 8 free tickets in the BD Jackpot game, as well as 3 tickets in our Guaranteed Win game. That’s a pretty good deal, so just read up on the rules and post your free numbers in the above thread. Nothing like becoming an instant member of the 10000 Island nouveau riche. :)

And speaking of the Guaranteed Win drawing, Louisistan held all 3 winning tickets last night in that game to pocket a cool 5,450 Tacos. That random number generator of his may have to be banned as it produced two of his winning numbers. ;)

Finally, but certainly not least, a BIG shout out goes to our Taco Island Mayor Aersoldorf, who donated 100,000 Tacos to the lottery last week. Thank you, Mr. Mayor! We will be offering a new contest to honor Hizzoner’s generous donation in the near future. Be sure and watch for it.

Have a great weekend everyone. Hope to see you win big in the lottery this coming Friday night.

Hey everyone!

Sorry for the random post but I've put up the discussion for the new SC resolution:
http://10000islands.proboards.com/thread/28501/sc-resolution-repeal-liberate-panem

Everyone check it out and share your opinion :)

I thought it was more like rugby but with different rules and play style.

Aww crap. I missed my NS birthday this year. It was the 25th of August and I forgot. *sigh*

Ah well, happy birthday to me.

Happy NSbirthday Ardreas!

First visual that popped in my head ironically enough was "Lynch Mob." There's no snarky political commentary on my part; it's just how my mind put it together. "Social" often means "to gather together" and lynchings were done by mobs (angry social gathering) seeking justice (as they saw it.)

Another thought would be a truly mob rule court system where all citizens voted as a jury on the guilt or innocence of an individual. Still a lynch mob I suppose but more sedate and regulated lol.

I know what it means, btw, just what came to mind.

What do you think of my flag xD

I REALLY need a professional-looking map-making program for PC (not MAC.) Any suggestions?

I just realized, I've been endorsed by 5 countries, 4 of them i don't even know why they did it!
