O.....K.....
Not really sure what to do about that... I guess imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and all that, and it didn't take me too long to create...but it is plagiarism of a sort...Nah, leave him be, I'm not worried about it unless he starts making money! (Then I want commision, and we can start discussing percentages)

It is generally a good idea not to use the same avitar when you create a sock puppet accout to upvote your own posts.

A friend of mine, who happens to be a kiwi (that's a new zealander to you foreign johnnies) was a bit of an ice hockey fan, but lived in one of the poorer areas of the land of the white cloud.
They had no ice rink, so could only really practice on the local supermarket car-park at night.
A ball proved to be too unlike the real thing, so (being kiwi's and being outside a closed supermarket at night) they broke in and stole a frozen chicken to use.
By all accounts it was fantastic - just like the real thing - until it started to defrost. No worries, they just stole another. And another... and so on.
Of course, the chicken's didn't go to waste - they each took one home after the game and cooked it up for their dinner.
The next day, every one of them was confined to the smallest room, where both ends were in frequent and somewhat painful use.
it was so bad, the local newspaper even ran a story on it.
"Local lads have bad case of Chicken Pucks"
Fortunately , it's warm outside so I don't need my coat.

Quite so, Dickie, old chap, quite so.
I assume that you meant "One is not foreign".
|
|
|
|
|
I meant, we British.
|
|
|
|

Quite. One is British, also, although certainly one has adopted certain antipodean traits (such as, for example, taking the piss out of Kiwis) one still holds the dear old Mother Country dear. Ya pommie pooftah.

Sorry. It's the heat, I tell you. the damnable heat! One tries to hold onto one's civilised self, but day after day of cloudless blue skies, and that sun! Relentless.

That's what I'm talking about - I should expect 99%...or it's the case of 'I'm the only normal person here!'?

But measured insanity can never exceed 50% because, by doing so, this would redefine normal.

When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies? Perhaps to be too practical is madness. To surrender dreams — this may be madness. To seek treasure where there is only trash. Too much sanity may be madness — and maddest of all: to see life as it is, and not as it should be! Miguel de Cervantes, "Man of La Mancha".

By definition then the insane is the sane in an insanity asylum, much like codeproject. To an outsider not knowing programming, this would seem utterly mad, I assume

Sociopaths and schizophrenics do not know how insane they are; addictive-personalities and obsessive-compulsives are usually in denial.
What did you expect ?

Do you imagine how much the world will be boring for the sane person. I don't

Au contraire, perhaps a truly sane person imagines boredom rather than experiences it.

10 Chocolaty Facts.
1. The first recorded "Death by Chocolate" case occurred in the 17th Century in Chiapas, Mexico. Upper class Spaniards were so addicted to chocolate that they refused to adhere to a church dictated chocolate ban that forbade them from eating or drinking any food during the church services. As a result, the people of the town refused not only listen to the ban but chose to attend worship services in convents instead. The Bishop who passed the law was later found dead due to poison being mixed into his daily cup of chocolate.
2. The word "chocolate" comes from the Aztec word, "Xocolatl", which ironically means "bitter water".
3. The biggest bar of chocolate ever made was created in 2000 and weighed 5,000 pounds. Turin is the city in Italy that can be proud of this accomplishment.
4. Americans eat an average of 22 pounds of candy each year, or approximately 2.8 billion pounds annually which is split almost equally between chocolate and candy. Most Europeans consume far less than this.
5. While the US produces the most chocolate and consume the most pounds every year, the Swiss consume the most per capita, followed closely by the English.
6. Besides the obvious cheese and ice cream industries, American chocolate manufacturers use about 1.5 billion pounds of milk and consume approximately 3.5 million pounds of whole milk yearly.
7. Chocolate manufacturers currently use 40% of the world’s almonds and 20% of the world’s peanuts.
8. Chocolate is technically responsible for the microwave. Scientists were experimenting with micro waves in hopes of creating better radar detectors and in the wake of World War II, scientists were testing devices called magnetrons. A scientist named Percy Spencer entered the lab with a chocolate bar in his pocket and realized it quickly began to melt. Spencer then realized that the magnetron could potentially be used to cook food. He successfully tried popping corn and then attempted to cook an egg which cooked so quickly, it blew up in his face.
9. Every Russian and American space voyage has included chocolate bars.
10. On the fourth visit of Christopher Columbus to the Americas, he presented cocoa beans to the Spanish Court. King Ferdinand and Queen Isabelle were not impressed and dismissed the chocolate as bizarre tribal concoctions.
