Um, That's a poppy? That is completely indistinguishable from any flower I've seen. looks like a bloodstain. I guess my ugly American roots are showing :) *man I gotta lay off the Halo on the weekends* Mark

Kinda. I got a spammail a few weeks ago asking me to sign an electronic petition to have the local number changed (which promptly got sent to the bitbubket) Also got a spammail asking me to sign a petition to have the new Lord of the rings movie's title changed to something other than The Two Towers (which promptly visited the bitbucket with the rest of the absurd mail) Mark
phew - I knew about the LOTR debacle - I never realised the jokers were out on 911 as well

The same chaps who have protested against the second LOTR movie being called Two Towers have put together a petition to change 911 to 666 (666 of course being covered by religious freedom and all.) :rolleyes: p.s. Just kidding, but I still think if these nuts are against LOTR then by principal they must be against 911

Mark Conger wrote: Hmm, Is it Veteran's Day or something? Succinct explanation[^] So basically on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month we remember all those brave souls who died in World War 1 and World War 2 for our freedom. Though now we have expanded this remeberance to all soldiers in all wars.

It's a type of red flower. It's an English tradition to remember the brave men who fought and died in WW1 and WW2. :rose:

My place is fine. Area arround where I currently work, not so fine. They are not calling it a torndo but I've seen enough damage to know no thuderstorm is going to pull siding off buildings, level houses to a ground and rip roofs off houses and barns. just noticed it made Cnn. alot more rotnados happened than they are actually reporting.

Yeah, I spotted it on CNN after a friend IM'd me about it. Funny how the weather people can't tell the truth any better than their news anchor colleagues. We had a two minute storm here a few years ago that sheared off a mile of utility poles about ten feet off the ground. It also destroyed 138 homes, and liberated awnings from their porches all around. According to the weather service, no tornado ever happenned. They called it a "microburst" but a rose is a rose ...
