An interview with the lead interface programmer, here's a bit of the text:<blockquote dir="ltr" style="margin-right: 0px">Worst job you’ve ever had?
This was a fun question because I got to reminisce about all of the horrible jobs I’ve had over the years. I’ve had a lot of craptastic jobs. Mostly standing behind a cash register. The job that I hated showing up for the most was at a gym. The lady who hired me said that they needed a warm body behind the desk. It is the only job I’ve had to take a urine test for, which was embarrassing because I left the door to the bathroom open thinking that they had to watch, but the guy yelled at me and I could hear people in the waiting room laughing. The job was mostly getting yelled at by customers over things outside my control, and having to ask sweaty guys to put their shirts on before using the equipment.Any other hobbies and interests? What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?
I tend to drift through hobbies. After I become somewhat proficient at one I move on to the next. Right now I’m revisiting barbecuing which I did quite a bit of maybe 10 years ago. Back then I managed the heat and smoke by hand, which meant staying near the grill for a long time. I was able to get very good product, but even on small pieces of meat it could mean tending the fire for 5-8 hours. So now I’m working on building a “set it and forget” it rig. Electric heat and an automatic smoke generator. It’s less about being lazy though and more about eliminating the variables to get consistent BBQ. So far it works really well, except when I trip the breaker by running the toaster at the same time. By the way, if there were Achievements in real life you would have just earned one for making it all the way through that description of my smoking hobby.</blockquote><img height="240" hspace="300" src="http://static.bethsoft.com/blog/new%20vault%20003.jpg" width="320" border="0" />Read: <a href="http://bethblog.com/?p=436" target="_blank">Inside the Vault - Erik Deitrick</a>Spotted @ <a href="http://bethblog.com/">Bethesda Blog</a>

I went to Turkey something like 6 years ago. Smoked some shisha with friends, haven't been off it ever since. Well, I don't smoke daily, but rarely a month has passed during the past half a decade when I haven't enjoyed this wonderful invention

Try wikipedia cazsim...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bong

We are using that 'shisha' word as 'şişe' in Turkish language.If you ask why 'shisha' instead of 'bong' well, two of them slightly different...

Shisha thingie(Waterfall bong) is a gravity bong which does not necessarily filter the smoke through water but instead uses water to generate a slow and constant vacuum in the chamber. This offers the same benefit of delivering a concentrated charge of smoke to the user but is much more effective at making the smoke denser, thereby causing more chemicals to be absorbed. The principle is the same, but instead of having the bottom completely removed a small capped-off hole is cut on the side. This allows you to fill it up with water and remove the cover of the hole when you want the vacuum. This form of the gravity bong has the benefit of not letting all the smoke out by pressing down since you have to inhale the smoke from the top.

MOST BASIC VARIANT:You can even make this thing from a normal sized water filled bucked(female piece) and a 2,5 liters of plastic coca-cola or pepsi bottle (cutted&removed 6-7 centimeter of it from the bottom side-male piece)...then make a good filter/cap which can be putted cap side of bottle.(Shape it as a half globe then pierce its bottom with a needle-you`ll put your ciggie there).Well, you can figure out after then...as you see completely home made with most basic materials; you`ll just step your feet out of your house/weed for finding some marijuana

I am surprised that someone accomplished to write this article. Most people who care about bongs, are way to relaxed to write an article, "dude".
So better have some cones and chill, bro. :stereotyped-stoner:

It`s also more romantic and no one can see our wrinklednesses, right bro?

Yeah, but generally most people avoid direct light when stoned as it overloads the neural system.

Also, you're ugly and therefore right.

Here, check Nissan busting out some tight mach lol.
