That's not helping >_>

Heh, I dunno, I've heard from my brother and friend that it doesn't hurt, it just feels weird. It also helps that I'm getting a shot in my gums to numb out my teeth. But yeh, I look forward to getting it over with.

My friend got a root canal once. They just gave him novocaine, and he told me that it just felt really weird. Plus he couldn't talk without drooling half the day.

I got one about a month ago, and my dentist stuck the needle in and forgot about it for about 5 min. For that whole time I'm laying there with a huge ass needle in my gum.

When I accidentally knocked part of my brother's front tooth off with my bokken (japanese wooden sword, FYI. Git yer mind outta the gutter), he had to get a fake tooth. That meant going under laughing gas. But the dentist wouldn't stop doing his work when my brother gave him the signal for pain that he told him to give. Needless to say, he blamed me for everything :/

It didn't hurt at all. There were times where it ached a little bit (when they stuck the files down into the roots and sawed a hole big enough for something), but other than that the most pain I had was when they gave me the gum shots. In fact, there was so little feeling that I could have slept through most of the procedure. I had to sit there for an extra hour though because they couldn't find the 3rd root (it calcified because the dentist before them screwed up with the filling), so they had to drill out all the crap in the 3rd root, and then they broke a filer in the bottom of one of the roots, so now I have a tiny piece of metal stuck down there. But to my luck it just helped out in the end.

Good to hear you're OK and it didn't hurt too much.

whats an MSNbot and why does it keep sending me messages saying it wants my penis?

Explosive American · Post by **Explosive American** » Thu Apr 12, 2007 3:55 pm

MSN equivalent of an AIM bot, (as in AOL Instant Messenger) I guess. It's an automated program that sends messages. Block it or something.

It's called a web spider/spider bot or crawler...it's what search engines periodically send out to "scan" sites.

One of the forums I visited had tons of those scanning it for Google. There were many of them with the same IP. The way to stop the malicious ones would be to instate one of those visual confirmation steps into the registration process. Something bots can't see.
