How odd - I seem to remember Paul claiming once that he also understands chocolate they way we do, but I have my doubts! Chocolate almost attains Bob status with us :)
I knew it would end badly when I first met Chris in a Canberra alleyway and he said 'try some-it won't hurt you'... -Christian Graus on Code Project outages His thoughts tumbled in his head, making and breaking alliances like underpants in a tumble dryer. It hurt the way your tongue hurts after you accidentally staple it to he wall**-Shaun Wilde**

I doubt men and women understand any single one thing the same way, but we certainly have the same chemicals in regards to chocolate. I have often wondered what it must be like to take my conciousness and place it in another persons brain. I wonder how things will look, taste, feel and smell different. Wether we will react differently too.

I seem to remember being offered honorary womanhood after my comments on chocolate at some point :) Oh yeah - hi Meg :) Got any of your holiday pics online yet? I signed up to photoSIG[^] and got my first photo uploaded (restricted to 1 pic every 3 days for newbies) - I'm chuffed that it's getting a possitive response :) Through the Clock[^] -- Help me!

The picture is really nice, however the sky is so grey in the background that I remembered this old image of two typical britishmen, talking under rain "-Nice weather, isn't it? - indeed" Just a mental image :) (in any sense :rolleyes: )

There were a few other suggestions to crop the top and bottom of the image a but - how much do you think would be needed?
