What would you do if the internet crashed for good? Would you get used to life with less communication and less "being connected" or would you be pretty bummed for the rest of your life?

This is assuming it was not fixed. Perhaps some largescale EMP attack or something that crippled it for the next 50+ years or so.

Sleeping On Hot Nights

It's recently started to warm up here in Sunny England. Now I actually quite enjoy the warm weather and usually I take full advantage.
But one thing that is annoying during the hot summer months is the fact it makes sleeping very difficult. Sometimes I just lay there a soak the pillow in sweat!!
I try to combat this by plugging in the fan next to the bed.
What methods do you use to make sure you get a good and comfortable nights sleep during the hot sticky summer nights?

And by pissed, i mean drunk...completely hammered:

So a mate of mine got pissed at work the other day (i work with him) and at the end of the shift i had to drive him home, there was no way i was letting him drive. He wanted to of course. So because a did this he filled the car up with fuel and bought me beer for when i got home...so this is the first time anything good has come from going to work pissed, or getting pissed at work. And he was talkin crap the whole time we were in the car, so it was hilarious, i was having fun. Turns out he had to get up real early in the morning to go to work again. LOL haha, poor bugger!

Anyone else got pissed at work? Any stories?

Have you ever been to a themed party where you dressed up accordingly?

Every year we have a themed party which includes costumes, food, music, backdrops to match.
Over the years we've had the following themes: China, Under the Sea, Colours, Out of Space, Countries, Black & White, Hawaii, History, Fairy Tales... Can't think of anymore.

Anyway they are real fun, seeing what everyone dressed up as and how they interpredted the theme idea.

Help!!! PS3 or Xbox360?

I'm looking to buy a gaming console soon, and I know nothing about them. I've asked a few of my friends what they would recommend and it's become a toss up between a PS3 and an Xbox360. At the moment I'm leaning more towards a 360 because it's cheaper.
So, basically what I'm asking is which console is the best, in your opinion for a complete novice? Which has the wider selection of games (if there's any difference), and which has the better features?
