Stretch the muscle out and massage it. The quicker you do it the better. I get muscle cramps while sleeping fairly regularly. If I'm quick enough stretching it out the pain stops immediately. If I'm too slow, it's agonising, difficult to get rid of, and achy the next day.

That happens to one of my legs about once every few months. It really friggin' hurts. :cry:

Oooh, there's another fear; pain.

I stretch somewhat regularly, and keep my muscles in shape fairly well regardless; that's what I do when that happens.

Yes, I assumed that, as developed human beings, we all fear pain.
I also find that I have an increasing fear of failure of any type.

I don't fear pain at all. Only emotional pain. Otherwise...I'm kinda a masochist ^^;

Well, yes. But I get scared when they start chasing me. Even if all they are planning to do is lick my hand.

He's fictional. Darth Mandelson is one of the most powerful men in the country. He was forced to resign twice after getting caught doing rather questionable things (more details here) and somehow he keeps coming back. He's also done some very questionable things since returning this time; for example, the Digital Britain report ruled out disconnecting people accused of filesharing as an option.. until Mandelson returned from a holiday in Corfu in which he met the cofounder of DreamWorks over dinner at his villa, and suddenly he, to quote a Whitehall source, "issued an edict that the regulation needs to be tougher".
Democracy in action!

Truth is truth, and I'm good at wading through perception and bias.

It made me laugh too. Something about how candidly & innocently it was asked.

Why it's the dead sea, the salinity killed everything.
Also the world's lowest.

I have no idea if this is true, but apparently, the Americans were doing air force exercises around the Dead Sea, and for some reason their jets' navigation computers kept crashing, especially around the Dead Sea itself.
The reason? They were flying below sea level, causing crashes because their altitude as far as the computer was concerned was negative.
