I know a guy that did something similar to this. He caught a mouse in a trap and tried to shoot it through a paintball gun. Apparently the mouse didn't want to go into the firing chamber so the loading mechanism cut the mouse in half leaving half of the mouse in the ammo dispenser, half of the mouse flying, and blood and guts everywhere. Kindof cruel, but I thought it was funny when I heard about it. Brad Jennings "if the golden arches shut shop, where else are the VB people going to get work." - Colin Davies

But like you I have had friends who would not hesitate to try a hamster in a potato gun or a mouse in a paintball gun. Not my thing really, stick to fiction I shall. Actually one friend shot a pigeon in the head with his .22 once. I got so pissed off I shot him in the thigh. Pellet went in a few centimetres, nothing serious but he made sure never to shoot anything defenseless around me again.

The moment you measure it it ceases to be a vacuum, so what;s the point. It';s like cyanide. no one knows what it tastes like. all the ones who tasted it are dead Nish

SimonS wrote: Still think they should drop either SPAN or DIV in XHTML Nooo. SPAN and DIV are used for different things. SPAN is an inline-text element while DIV is a block element. If you are using SPAN as block elements then you should be using DIVs rather. I agree they can seem to overlap but they should not be confused or used for the same thing. SimonS wrote: When you said "prep" I thought you meant badwordwouldgohere;-p Wow, I am stumped. I can't think of a single bad word that starts with prep. Prepare. Preposition. etc. but nothing wrong, evil or bestialic.

... Ok but then that is using things for the wrong thing. SPAN comes by default with display:inline and DIV by default display:block exactly so that you don't have to set one generic element to your needs.
