The first appearence of the black costume (that I am aware of, I may be wrong) was in the Secret Wars series. Spider-man returned after he and a large number of both Marvel Heroes and Villains were transported to an alien planet to fight in "The Ultimate Batte Between Good and Evil". At first he kept the costume as it appeared to react to his instincts and create its own webbing- allowing him to disgard his web shooters. He rejected it after he realised that the suit a was a living symbiote trying to take over his mind and body. Venom was created after Eddie Brock - himself feeling humiliated by Spider-man- was preparing to attempt suicde, and went to church to ask for forgivenss for his future sin. It was here the symbiote joined with Brock, and the extremely unstable pairtook the name "Venom" ( a reference to the type of news stories Brock was forced to wright to earn a living after Spider-man ruined one of his stories) and vowed revenge.
Carnage was also born out of a symbiotic relationship. In this case, the alien symbiote was actually the offspring of the Venom symbiote and Carnage was born when it merged with convicted serial killer Cletus Kassidy.
Random Geek Fact: Venom alsways uses the tern "We" to describe himself- considering himself to still be two seperate entities (Brock and the Alien). Whereas as Carnage uses "I", and belives himself to be one entity

Taken from CNN.com:
"Groundbreaking Comedian Richard Pryor died Saturday of a heart attack, his wife told CNN. He was 65.
Pryor, who had been ill with multiple sclerosis, died at Encino Hospital near Los Angeles, at 7:58 a.m. PT. Jennifer Lee Pryor tried to revive him before paramedics arrived and took him to the hospital, she said."
Kinda been on the cards for a couple of years now, but still sucks.

I can explain exactly what your problem was- you're on BT Broadband. I work for BT and they are the last ISP (maybe with the exception of AOL) that I would go with.

my mate' date=' while wearing a long black jacket got this (from a ned who just threw half a brick at him across a road):
"oi, matrix cunt!"
/x[/quote']
Had something similar. Whilst wearing my leather coat. Some neds decided to start bellowing "Morpheus" and "welcome to the real world" repeatedly. The fact that I am under 6 foot tall, had shoulder length hair at the time and that I am not black seemed to pass them by

Tip for the future:
If it is aimed at a white, heterosexual male of no distinct origin or faith, then it's OK.....
Everything else is offensive.

Was having a great time until I had to leave at quarter to 1 after one of my "mates" hit me in the face with a glass.
Apart from that don't have one bad word to say, except that its been a bit quiet up to this point. Can only hope that with the students back that it will get busier, coz its a fucking fantastic night

You could always try this?
Guaranteed to get you somewhere to stay.
On another note... Is that the most disturbing toy to ever have existed?

I'm bored to death with crap like people posting pictures of mr-t or threads about how funny neighbours is' date=' or people wearing transformers tshirts. It's all insincere, it's all fake and inane, it makes me cringe.
[/quote']
So I am, as you put it "insincere, fake and inane" because I'm 22 and wear a transformers t-shirt... ( For the record I also have transformers and thundercats american football jerseys, a thundercats hoody and a couple of masters of the universe t-shirts, and still have some of the toys
) Whereas the reality is I wear them as a show of genuine love for something that reminds me of a good time in my life and am genuinely still a fan of (as a LOT of my friends are)- I have a lot of the episodes on tape, and collect the current comics whenever I can find somewhere that can import them. And if that makes you cringe, oh well, I guess I'll just have to change won't I- beacuse you, without ever having met me, can judge my reasons for wearing a fucking t-shirt. Simple fact is you don't like it, fine go watch something else.- I think the Elektra, Catwoman and Fantastic 4 movies are an afront to the orginal material. So what did I do? I didn't fucking watch them, and saved my time and money for something I do like. Problem solved. try it sometime

Self harm is a western phenomenon' date=' and as I said, where does the initial intent eminate from?
Self harm is a culturally aquired behaviour that is just 1 facet of the extensive social, and mental decay evident in our society today.[/quote']
Personally I did not have any intial intent, nor was it culturally aquired, as you put it- I grew up in the Highlands a complete loner, and as such had no social culture to be exposed to. Really- I engullfed myself in sci-fi movies and comic books. My self harming began by complete accident. I had been told something about someone very close to me- which I am not going into on an internet forum- and I happened to be holding a plastic tumbler at the time. I broke down in tears, and in my anger, I crushed the tumbler in my hand. A couple of the shards embedded themselves in my hand, and when I pulled them out, and I watched the blood flow i instantly felt better. I do not know why- and I now know that I was not feeling better, but only kidding myself. As I said, I am not proud of this, and cannot think why anyone would be- hence why most people hide it. Also, as result I am now hemophobic, as seeing blood reminds me of what I once did. Honestly I cannot give you a general answer to your question, I can only relay my personal experience. Is it related to social and mental decay. Maybe, I really don't know, and do not pretend to. I DO believe it is a mental problem- as I said I now realise it didn't make me feel any better, I only WANTED to believe this- and one that is treatable, but only if people who do it are not made to feel like outcasts. It is arguable that alcoholism, drug addiction and smoking are also western phenomena- BUT if people are willing to admit to these problems they are generally offered help and support. Why should this illness- and it is an illness, like any other addiction- be treated any different?

Right. I have desperately been trying to stay out of this discussion as it involves going back to a time in my life I would rather forget. I am a former self harmer. For all those people that say it is only to grab attention- unless they are willingly showing off the scars- FUCK OFF. There are about 5 people in the world that know I used to cut myself (one found out by accident and told the rest, apart from my girlfriend who I told myself) as no one EVER saw the scars. If they were on my stomach, I never removed my shirt (even in bed if I wasn't alone, unless it was completely dark) If they were on my arms, long sleeve shirts (i own a few so this never arose suspicion). And for all those people that say use piercings or tattoo's or waxing as a subsitute (confession I love you to bits, but you are so off the mark I could not bring this up in person without falling out with you) YOU KNOW FUCK ALL ABOUT THIS SUBJECT!! I have had a total of around 27 piercings, and NOT because of my self harming. I never got a single one during this period. Self harming is used as a form of release, for some the pain releases endorphins, for others seeing the blood run out of the wounds alows them to imagine that it is their pain leaving their body. And piercing, tattooing or waxing is not exactly a quick, instant process. My self harming is NOT something I am proud of that is why I never told anyone.
As for a "cure" there isn't one. So far the advice about being supportive and not judging is 100% correct. The only way for someone to stop self harming is for them to want to stop, like any other addiction. Because that is what it is. Stand by them, ask them to speak to someone ie a councilor who understands this illness- but DO NOT FORCE THEM under any circumstances. Sometimes speaking to someone who does not know you, and has no preconceptions of who and what you are allows you to be more open. I know it helped me, and another of my friends who was also a self hrmer.
Bitchygirl, if you would like any other advice as to how to help your friend please PM me. I am only to happy to help, but I would rather not discuss it any more in a public forum, as there are obviously some people on here who believe it to be a joke.
Oh, and for the record,..... I am male.

As I sit here typing this, there is an optic attached to my computer desk with a bottle of vodka in it- think that is ample evidence of my opinion.
