You really should stop wearing make up, and have a haircut
Oh yeah, like SSMG said about those 2 pictures you posted last, every word of them

One positive thing I'm going to tell you; I agree that having a fake ID is stupid

The point is that it's obvious, just like the second picture is obviously a woman. It wasn't meant to be a challenge, it was meant to show how obvious gender differences are. The only thing similar is how both are wearing quite a bit of make-up. Despite that, it's not difficult to differentiate. I no longer wear make-up, mostly cuz I can't be bothered to waste money on it.

Why the hell are we talking about make-up and hair? >:O

Well, I pretty much refuse to use an avatar picture that isn't me... never really liked the concept. :/

Well, there's always the whole representation thing, or "advertising" something you like but for me, eh. I think myspace turned me off of it, since plenty of fakes tried to add me and what not.
I guess I got used to being comfortable with using pictures of me. I'd feel "fake" using anything but @_@

I get what you mean, and sorry it was my fault for completely derailing the topic. But hey at least your posting more. BTW your current pic looks almost like that pic you said was of you at 21, which was the main reason i said it plus i'm not creepy enough to have looked at your pics back then in depth, I just thought they all looked like different people.

I see
On facebook I use my own image, on forums people mainly use images they like or feel like using
I think it's nice to know who I'm talking to, but I don't like to show my face in my profile

I don't give a fuck. If I like a character, I'll use that character as my avatar. Dammit.

Well it would be quite strange if you had creeped on me...

Of course not. That would be on-topic. Razz

Anyways A random event triggers the birth of 43 children from women who didn't even show any signs of pregnancy. A wealthy inventor and Olympic fencing champion searches for and finds 7 of them, in order to 'save the world.'

In the end, although the children have amazing talents and abilities, the dysfunctional nature of their family and failures in their later years cause them to disband and live their separate lives elsewhere, away from the Academy. The story technically begins when their adoptive father dies.

And there's your spoiler free synopsis of volume one. There's two of them, and it's finished.

Oh yeah, rating. 9/10
As for why, it's simply right up my alley in the heavy amounts of sarcasm and strangeness. This is one weird world of talking chimpanzees and insane rampaging national monuments. That kind of quirkiness is very attractive to me when I look for something to read. Characters have their own messed up personalities and definitions that can make you loathe them, feel sympathy for them, or want to wring their necks. No overpowered characters either(well, maybe one).

I rarely dislike American artists, and Gabriel Ba is no exception(some expressions are priceless).It's amazingly fitting for the atmosphere that's created by the story itself. The volumes are simply fun to look at and read. Different strokes for different folks but when I think of comic books I think of The Umbrella Academy and Watchmen.
