    Small point. When you deposit money with a bank it is the same as you giving the bank a loan. They have a liability on their books to repay you, often with interest. So the money is theirs, but they ahve a dept to you. Panic, Chaos, Destruction. My work here is done. or "Drink. Get drunk.

    It must have been the way you worded it. I am sure the owners of this site dont want to see storm front style posts here. If you want to make a valid point, choose your wording ro you will end up with the same respect as CSS.

    Oh, be nice... It's at least 6.22 :) And I still like calling it Weven, because that means the next one will be either "Weight" or "Wight" (Most commonly used in RPGs to refer to a type of undead creature). So we'd either laugh at how bloated "Weight" is, or make Pythonesque jokes about how "Wight" isn't quite dead yet... And then the next one would be "Wine", and that has 50% more jokes. And then "Wen" will be the next Duke Nukem Forever (Yeah, it's "expected" in 2011 - I'll believe it Wen I see it :) ) Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?
