Could be worse. My brother-in-law's birthday is on April Fool's day, and nobody let's him forget it! On the other hand, my wife was born on Groundhog day, and it's in my best interest to not mention that fact to her...

Well if you're looking for a nice night on the couch it might not be such a bad idea.

those things fascinate the crap out of me!
I also got:
- a smartphone controlled helicopter
I got a iPod touch 4g, 75$ worth in iTunes cards, clothes, a couple of tool sets, crap load of candy. I really like the iPod, I've already downloaded 35 apps in 3 days, I'm on it all the time. It faster than my computer so I only use this now. I just don't know when I'll use 75$ on this thing!
I don't have a "good" camera!

Those (MANY different brands) are great. They're very useful all around, and are bloody brilliant for undercutting door jambs and other trim when retrofitting flooring!

That's why I wanted one; they have a million & one uses, although, as I found out (the hard way), the straight blade doesn't like cutting steel

Umm... yeah.
That's okay- last year I destroyed a couple of blades cutting thick fibreglass. You learn through doing, right?

Yeah, its pretty cool. Its hard to control at first, but I got the hang of it.
You download an app, and then plug a transmitter into the headphone jack. Then you turn the volume all the way up, and it uses an infrared signal to control the chopper.
I also got:
- a new lightweight rain jacket
- a discus (track and field)
- a smartphone controlled helicopter
- a new hat and T-shirt
- Cash
- and a few odds and ends things
- Also, my Mom said she would help pay the shipping on my new front wheels.
My nephew go a RC truck controlled by his iPod touch! Funny thing is when my mom bout it for him she didn't even knew it did that, lucky her.

Very true.
Thankfully, the blade wasn't completely beyond salvation; nothing a triangle file couldn't fix

I was using one to scrape some of the gasket off of the oil cooler for my truck and too a huge chunk out of the gasket surface (****ed aluminum parts) luckily it has 2 different seals, so I RTV'd the hole I made and put it in. No leak yet.
I say yet because it hasn't started yet, so there's no oil pressure.
