    Default Earth hour?

    So who is planning on taking a 1 hour break from gaming to help the greater good?
    Anyone?
    Just go to sleep during that time, so you wont be bored to hell.

    Offtopic: I just noticed i have a whole from a pencil wound that I got (Maybe 3-4 days ago)
    It's healed over, but it appears there's a piece of led still inside, nuffin will happen right (like 1 or half a cm of HB2 led?)
    Otherwise i'll cut it open and just get it out. (no, i'm not being a *****)
    It's puffy abit...

    Edit: Screw it, if it gets infected then i'll start caring,

    Probably not. Doesn't really interest me too greatly. I probably should, but, meh.

    Oh and as far as I know graphite isn't deadly, but, you may want to remove it.

    Why take 1 hour of break ? use less electricity ? I live in Quebec, not a problem I guess xD


    As for the pencil huh well huh unless its too deep you should take it off there, it can increase chances of cancer (not alot) and I guess its not too comfortable...

    Which hour of the day is it? I'm going to read my illustrated version of Stardust and listen to Ensiferum on my iPod if it's light out. If it's dark, I guess I'll just sleep.

    hmm, I just remembered, I'm going to my sister's performance at that time. Technically I won't be using any electricity. The performers will be using alot of it.

    Considering the fact it's a natural thing, then yes, that is completely true.

    So turn on all of your consoles, and hope your 360 doesn't explode. ♥

    Lol. My friend Bill was bouncing a pencil in grade school, and it stuck in his chin. He still has a gray mark from it

    I'll join in by turning off all the lights at my parents house. People saying "well it wont make a difference because im only one person" are silly.... because when everyone says that then thats when it does make a difference.. so yeah


    FOR THE GREATER GOOD!


    also at my house at uni we have energy efficient lightbulbs. those things suck ass because they provide about as much light as a lit match in the grand canyon at night. but hey, every little helps

    So I'm confused. What exactly is the point of this? To stop "light pollution", global warming, what? *Teleports to time in the future*

    President of the United States: My Fellow Americans, we have finally reached the point where we are almost out of usable energy but we do have a small amount remaining. You see, back when primitive thinking was still heavily exercised (about 25 years ago), one day a year, one hour in that day, a few people would turn out their lights and call it "Earth Day". Well it turns out that we've accumulated about 50 hours worth of light. Except, that was 50 hours of people that conserved during that one hour which equates to less than a day left of energy for the general public. We are working on another source of energy so do not panic.

    ... Yeah, that's really going to work.

    P.S. Look at google.com
