If you want a REALLY simple, REALLY easy desert, try this:
1 box icecream sandwitches
Put 5 or 6 icecream sandwitches in a bowl, stir for a really long time, or until it is batter like and the chunks are all gone. Put in a microwavable bowl, dish, whatever would make a nice mold. Then stick it in a microwave for about 2 minutes or more. Make sure to check it is cooked all the way until you flip the bowl, dish, whatever onto a plate. There you have it, Icecream Cake. I thought of this when I was merely eight years old. Enjoy.
Or you could do it like this lady:

Mystical apology
Hey Mr. Vice president?. I am so sorry that you shoot me?
It was Harry Whittington's apology to Dick Cheney last week, closely akin to a pedestrian hit by a drunk driver regretting the damage done to the sot's

Virgo is the second-largest constellation in the sky. It is depicted as an angel with wings, holding an ear of wheat. She is usually identified as Dike, the goddess of justice, who was the daughter of Zeus and Themis.
