Taunting, the game scrolls phrases like, “You can’t beat me” and “Can you fool 20Q?” at intervals throughout, until it smoothly flaunts the correct answer time after time...
...numbed sleep. Tomorrow will be different. It never was. What an illusion that there were no consequences to be paid! It was years before I allowed myself to acknowledge the addictive, damaging nature of what I was doing. Like alcoholism, anorexia and bulimia are diseases of denial. You fool yourself into believing you are on top of it and can stop anytime you want.

Since 1998, VW has pumped $155 million into the brand, with Lambo currently producing two models (the Gallardo is the other) for the first time in its 41-year history. One feature the Murcilago roadster borrows from VW's Audi A4 convertible is roll bars that pop up within milliseconds in a rollover. But the Murcilago, named for a legendary Spanish bull so fierce it was spared...
