Astro Empires

Astro Empires www.astroempires.com it's a very addictive Massively Multiplayer Online Game (MMOG) where you can build various structures and ships, research new technologies, join guild and make a lot of friends.

I started to play it in 2007 and I still enjoy to log in and play with my guildmates. You can play on many servers but from my experience I recommend you to start with Alpha - the "civilized" server, or Beta - the "battle" server. You can decide later if you have the time to play on the other servers too.

After you create your account it's better to join a guild where the experienced players can help you with the game secrets. You can find me on Alpha server in the guild [CUBE] (a guild created for the new players like you) and on the Beta server in the guild [-PM-] (a guild with elite players where only the best can be members).

To start playing Astro Empires click one of the following links: Alpha server or Beta server.

Little girl on a plane

A Georgia Congressman was seated next to a little girl on the  airplane leaving from Atlanta when he turned to her and said, 'Let's talk. I've heard that flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger.'

The little girl, who had just opened her book, closed  it slowly and said to the total stranger, 'What would you  like to talk about?'

'Oh, I don't know,' said the southern congressman. 'How about global warming or universal health care', and he smiles smugly.

OK, ' she said. 'Those could be  interesting topics.. But let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff - grass. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, and a horse produces clumps of dried  grass. Why do you suppose that is?'

The southern legislator, visibly surprised by the little girl's  intelligence, thinks about it and says, 'Hmmm, I have no idea.'

To which the little girl replies, 'Do you really feel qualified to discuss global warming or universal health care when you don't know shit?
