The Swedish Academy decides who will get the Nobel Prize in Literature.
Only a person who plays video games is a really serious computer users. As the childish person I am, I had also easy to lose myself in this world.

So whats wrong with having fun like a kid no matter how old you are? The fondest moments I have are seeing my parents have fun like kids, Me being a parent playing with my young kids and still playing like a kid with my grand kids. The best compliment of all is having a grandkid saying to you. Wow i didnt know you could be so ( Fun, Cool, Hip, Or what ever the youngins say today.)

Toy or a car used for transportation?

Both, but closer to the toy end of the scale.

Someone may commute in a Ferrari, but no-one buys a Ferrari to commute, you buy a diesel Ford Mondeo for that.

Edit: Correction, it is unlikely that someone would buy a Ferrari to commute. I realised after posting that a very few mad people might, one of my uncles for a start. (Ferrari 456)

I`d prefer a Porsche tho.

Was it downhill and lots of wind from behind?
I have done it at 70 km/h with a bicycle.
That was very scary.

My Volvo is limited to 125 mph (200 kph) as the 4-wheel drive system can't manage any quicker.
