I heard the other day that if someone broke into my house and got hurt, whether he tripped over his own feet or got hit with a baseball bat, he could sue us for his injuries and win. What kind of mess is that? I would think he...

The Red Room, ever heard of this game?

sylvrrain @sylvrrain (659) • United States 2 Feb 07

Why are some of the words in the post highlighted?

sylvrrain @sylvrrain (659) • United States 20 Jan 07

I have noticed that some of the words are highlighted, so I assumed they were associated with the tag lines, or the subject of the post. Now, that I am spending more time on this site, I see that is not true. Do the highlighted...
