I was rather hoping for something like this:
< 98 > It is widely maintained that the reference to Ky'Trrk visiting Ny'Akkk on the planet Disfaros (DS9, Episode 578, Act I, Scene IV) implies that Ky'Trrk must have swam to the island on which Ny'Akkk was living. The usual logic supplied is that episode 578 was set on Star Date 9293.234 and the Klingon's didn't invent bridges until Star Date 9296.345.
This thinking, however, is clearly fallacious. Whilst there wouldn't have been a bridge, it is perfectly possible that Ky'Trrk had a pair of hover boots rendering the lack of bridges completely moot.

+926 @T'Pau: But the Klingon's did have time travel in 9293.234 so it would have been easy for Ky'Trrk to travel forwards in time and get the hover boots. KirkFan97 26,382
+483 @KirkFan97: Pish, tish and tosh! The anti-grav mechanism of the hover boots could not survive reverse travel in time as the intrograspulator would become demagnitised by the photonic effect of the radyonic crystals. This can be succinctly described by the equation x:R⊢P(x)and⊢(∀x:R)P(x) which clearly proves that hover boots are only available to a maximum size of 12, whereas it is postulated by Postlethwaite and Gibbs in their definitive text Shoe Sizes of the Star Trek Universe that no adult Klingon has feet smaller than size 14.

I'm hoping it isn't "FIENDISH" ... 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

... in which case, you'll be happy to hear that it isn't fiendish.
|

So it's a little more fiendish than I thought?

On a scale of fiendishness where 1 is a hamster and 10 is a lawyer's accountant's accountant, I'd probably give it about 3 and a half.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

I would argue that chefs don't create them, they just put food on them, but chefs would argue back.

They would - and not too many people have ever won an argument with a chef.
I rather suspect that you have the solution ...

Nope, not ghoulish. An answer which has giving me a sudden craving for goulash. Can we please stop talking about food?

Would you develop a website using Microsoft tools, with all the incredible learning curve and expense? Or would you just go the easy - but effective - route and use the WordPress solution your client's hosting provider offers as a development platform?
I've got the Microsoft tools in Visual Studio, and I've got the Adobe tools in the Creative Suite, and I'm not too fond of either. I can use them, but it's a huge effort, usually on my own time, to get up to speed and fairly proficient after a long break. My new employer needs a website that works - it's currently crippled with almost no functionality - and I'm the only one to do it. The current site was done with WordPress, but never completed. And some of their suppliers offer APIs to link with their online ordering systems to make sales on behalf of the affiliate members. Most of those are written using WordPress, so I'm going to have to deal with that sometime...
Given that there's going to be a huge learning curve for me to come up to speed on modern versions of any of these platforms, which would you recommend that I choose for my employer's new website?

If it's already half-done in wordpress, why triple your pain?

Depends on if it's done well or not I'd say.

Good or bad, it's a start. It's usually quicker to fix an existing attempt than to start from scratch (I'm assuming that the guys had an idea what was needed, and just couldn't implement in time).

Only a little less than half done with Umbraco, and there's no PHP! 
|
|
|
|
|
At this point, it's far less than half done. There's a front page with pictures and that's about it!

I wonder if any Microsoft tools/products were used to make WordPress tools/products?

QBasic, I think.

Funny you should mention that, because now there is now a new IDE to develop Android apps in pseudo-VB.NET.
