And specially from every shires ende
Of Engelond to Caunterbury they wende,

Re: The TNS Toilet
A lot of people are familiar with George Orwell and his 1984 type vision of the future, but compare it to Aldous Huxley and his views. It's quite terrifyingly true, check it out:

Just kidding. I haven't read 1984 though. It was one of the options I had in my High School English class, but I think I chose The Grapes of Wrath instead. I got the general idea of it, however.

I'm choosing a new phone. Can't decide which one to buy. Could someone help me? Samsung Galaxy S vs. HTC Desire S vs. HTC Desire HD. thanks.
I've heard Galaxy S has some issues with GPS which is kinda important to me.
