        I have worked with someone who called me sloppy every time the slightest bug was found in pre beta software.

            *grin* well, this is what happens when you work for non programmers. What we do is so close to black magic in his mind that he searches for ways to understand it, and all of his analogies are basically flawed because of the complexity of software, and the way that flow on effects can be less than obvious.

              I often use the phrase "white-man magic" when speaking to non-techies... It has served me well over the years!

                              Not really. The alter is at a perfect height so there is no need to bend or stretch.

                                It's also traditionally a wood/stone slab with at most a layer of cloth covering it. There are far more comfortable surfaces to perform that sort of sacrifice on.

                                  I often use that expression except... I'm in Singapore and it gets some rather odd looks sometimes. I once called a guy as 'tight as a bulls arse in fly time' and spent the next 20 minutes explaining. He did buy the next round though.
