I've been teaching myself Flash the last few months, and I just finished what I think is a really awesome game. I ran across a variant of Uno called Hot Death Uno a few years ago, first as a home game where you printed out the extra cards a

I've never understood how being "overqualified" is a problem. No one says you have to list your degree or make mention of it. Just pretend you don't have one? What am I missing here? Are people too egotistical to accept a job at McDonald's
