    This may be a bad move. Given their demonstrated talent at money management, flipping burgers at Mickey D's may be the most promising career path available. :rolleyes:

    Gray is a subjective experience (i.e., each user sets a threshold of what posts appear gray). What's gray to you may be blue to me. This is the "noise threshold" dropdown above forums. Visual Studio is an excellent GUIIDE.

    As Homo Sapiens is easily the most eco-unfriendly species on the planet, perhaps this species should be removed first?

    I think you mean between the governments. The people, for the most part, don't care nearly as much; just like everywhere else. Cheers, Drew.

    20. You can recycle this from a photocopy of a photocopy of a photocopied piece of paper having a listing that was relevant back in its day, and be able to pass it off as something interesting, maybe even new. ;) Erik Westermann - ArtOfBabel.com - Systems Integration Magazine Contact Erik for consulting, development, or content creation via erik [at] wWorkflow.net

    When the CTRL key is depressed, the Lounge link on the green bar would toggle to Soapbox and when it is restored, the link would jump back to the original state. It has been there for a while now.

    A very religious man is on a boat when it sinks. He grabs a life preserver and prays for God to come and help him. A few minutes later another boat draws up and tells the man to get in, but he refuses, saying that God will save him. An hour later, a helicopter flies by and tells the man to get in, but he refuses, saying that God will save him. Much later, the man is freezing to death, but keeps praying to God to save him, but eventually he succumbs to the freezing water and drowns. Upon his arrival in Heaven, he asks God why he didn't save him, to which God replies "Dude, I sent you a boat and a helicopter, what more do you want?" :doh: The StartPage Randomizer - The Windows Cheerleader - Twitter

    Steve_Harris wrote: It's based on fact The fact is that male penguins do the "hatching" all the time while females leave the family after laying the egg...ref Happy Feet (2006). In addition, the zoo keeper for the tango parents never claimed they did the deed...ref New York Times (2005) Nevertheless, had the penguins actually performed gay acts, this line of argument says that our cultural norms should be extended to what is found in wildlife. While there is nothing statutory about this wish or persuasion as a form of public discourse, allowing a few or a minority who hold this belief to overcome the decision of the majority to keep it from entering public school children's curriculum is a form of facism. Gays who walk naked in the crowded streets of San Fran during a leather fair wouldn't bother me (little bro told me of this site-seeing bonanza, recently). Nor does it bother me to see a majority prevent works of fiction from entering a public school or library. What DOES bother me is to see a statement that is flat wrong.
