    Where is Nagy, and what have you done with him?

    I just realized something - I believe nagy actually means snake in Hindi and Urdu. Hindi speakers can confirm this or correct me :-)

      I thought that wa Naga, rather than Nagy? I could very well be wrong...

        Oh okay. That may be right. I remember a movie called Nagina (means female snake woman) from when I was very young. So yeah, it's probably naga for male and nagina for female. How do you know Hindi anyway?

            LOL, nice skill to have :-) Knowing multiple languages, even minimally, is also a sign of intelligence - but then with you, that was never in question I suppose.

              Nah...Nagy would throw a null reference exception at the thought of not drinking...

              I figure it would look more like this:

              RUN "\LifeChoices\ChooseNotToDrink.exe" ERROR FileNotFound

                Possibly more like your sig:

                if (numberOfGinsInFutureLife == 0) { Nagy.Universe.Implode(); }

                      After years of being spurned and abused by the night-owls, the morning people have at last banded together to "re-educate" those who avert their eyes from the sunrise!

                        I suspect it's just that I "need" 5 or 6 hours, but when I drank I needed a whole lot more to get some (if not all) of the alcohol out of my system before I could get "real" sleep.

                        More likely because you're getting older. The need for sleep tends to decrease the older you get (or so is my understanding - it hasn't happened to me yet! :~)
