It's not visually imagery. It's mental imagery, of what is read cannot be unread.

There are a lot of stories surrounding the Declaration of Independence. One of the most famous concerns John Hancock and his comically large signature. According to legend, the founding father signed his name bigger than everyone else's because he wanted to make sure "fat old King George" could read it without his spectacles.

It's a neat story about American brashness, but it isn't very accurate. The truth is a tad less dramatic. Snopes.com explains that Hancock, president of the Continental Congress, gave a super-sized signature not because he was itching for a fight with the king, but because, among other things, he happened to be the first person to sign the document.

Because Hancock was the first to sign, he did the sensible thing and put his name front and center. He was the leader of the Congress, after all. He didn't know his fellow patriots would sign their names on a smaller scale.

So, why are some of the other signatures high and to the left while others are down and to the right? The National Archives explains, "In accordance with prevailing custom, the other delegates began to sign at the right below the text, their signatures arranged according to the geographic location of the states they represented. New Hampshire, the northernmost state, began the list, and Georgia, the southernmost, ended it."

And it's worth remembering that signing one's name to the Declaration of Independence was no small thing. Those who signed the document were sure to be hanged for treason should they be caught.

Another popular story says that the members of Congress were inspired to lend their own names to the document after seeing Hancock's epic autograph and the bravery it signified. Neat, but not true. Not only was Hancock the first to sign the Declaration, he did it weeks before anybody else. The National Archives explains, "One of the most widely held misconceptions about the Declaration is that it was signed on July 4, 1776, by all the delegates in attendance."

In reality, Hancock signed it in the presence of just one man, Charles Thomson, the secretary of Congress. National Geographic explains, "no one actually signed the Declaration of Independence at any time during July 1776. Signing began on August 2, with John Hancock's famously bold scribble, and wasn't completed until late November."

That famous painting of all the founding fathers gathered around, signing the document was a case of artistic license.

"Yellow is more than just a colour, it's a state of mind"

lolwut? I heard this on a TV ad for the tour de France, and yes, I know that it is prestigious to wear the yellow jersey blablabla, but who thought up such an asinine statement? Are we supposed to think, 'Oh wow, I am so yellow today'? What would that mean, we are jaundiced or cowardly? This is a perfect example of some overpaid freak not thinking something through - since when is yellow a colour associated with something positive? If yellow is a state of mind, I am glad it's not my state of mind, my mind is perfectly content to remain colour neutral thank you very much (ok, sometimes it may be tinged with blue when I am sad, or green when I spot someone drive past in a BMW Z4 , but never yellow.)

Yeppers, I am feeling random today

Blargh. Spent all my free time today trying to figure out how to use a PSX emulator because my PS2 doesn't work properly anymore. So, now I know how to extract files I never knew how to extract, how to mount a virtual drive and ho to make an iso.

Still can't play Final Fantasy. Gah! Just gah!

which FF are you trying to play? Dont say X-2 or I'll cut you....

I was trying FF7, FF8 and FF9. Now I'm just going to dl the PC version of FF7 and see if it works without an emulator. And...if that doesn't work, I'm just going to buy a used PS2. PS3 hasn't been all tat great, tbh.

I have FF3 on my computer too. Works well.

So much win it almost brings me to tears......Thank god you didnt give my name to caith sith

So many options for Caith Sith. I dunno. I left Cloud and Tifa's names as is but named Aeris Sephie. While figuring out how to download all this, I was shown a save game editor called Jenova. I dont want things to be too easy for me, so I only changed the Gil to 99,000. I hate shopping and running out of cash. The editor was giving me issues with saving though, so I added the Ultima Weapon to the inventory to see if it'd save then. So now I'm hoppin around killing bosses with 1 hit. I'm thinking I'll sell the weapon and try to get it back later. There's also a save game editor called Black Chocobo that's more up to date, apparently, and all try to use that next time I want to change Cloud and Tifa's name or whatever.

I find myself entranced.
