    I have nothing to read this time, so if you want that you could sent it to me.

    Sometimes it is better to listen then to speak.

    Lewis Black's Root of all Evil, awesome show. In that particular episode, the candidates for root of all evil are beer and weed. if I remember correctly Andrew Daly argued Beer was the root of all evil, while Paul Tompkins argued it was in fact weed.

    Xz is indeed correct. I'm rapidly becoming very fond of the series, it's just plain FUNNEH.

    Blasphemous I'd say. Beer and weed the root of all evil? Stupid, stupid people.

    Oh, how sweet. Someone went to all that effort to prove that we're evil when we knew it all along.

    That's flawed. Time AND money = time + money, not time * money. Of course it may be argued that the more time you spend with a woman the more money you'll naturally spend.

    ...is pretty much what I planned to say in response.

    Hell, even without that we would still end up with "women = the root of evil doubled", which is quite satisfying by itself.

    But that makes no sense either. Because naturally the time would have to go down with the increase of money and visa versa.

    We convert our time into money through work and if we refuse to work, we end up with a lot of time but no money.

    To enjoy life, one must have three things. Money, time and energy. The irony of it all is that it's nigh impossible to have all three in one's possession at the same time. If you have loads of money and energy, you're likely working incredibly long hours and thus don't have time. If you have copious amounts of time and energy, you are an unemployed bum and therefore don't have any money etc.

    You can't be working long hours if you have all that much energy.

    You need energy to be able to work long hours in the first place (all the planning and commitment that is needed for a successful career etc).

    16,620/50,000.

    I actually did a little bit of research and have included D&D Elvish and Dwarvish in my story (henceforth, the name of the world in my Prologue has changed). I'm interested, though, in some Orcish or Black language dictionaries, but all I can find are pissy little WoW 'translations' from the game.

    Don't tell me to google it, I tried my best, even with my librarian skills. Can anybody direct me to something specific?
