That's just backwards... I like my puns dented.
Or is it like flammable/inflammable, where they're the same thing, and the only way to reverse it is to make it non-dented?
And on that note, if something can be dented, can it also be prefected? No, that's not a typo... How about beeblebroxed? slartibartfasted?
Man, I have too much free time...

Granted, It's Your Turn
=======================
Robert Effortless Lee was the South's best general. But more than his military acumen or strategic sagacity, he prided himself on his striking resemblance to Martin Sheen.
Robert effortlessly swung himself down from off his stately steed and marched wearily but resolutely up the courthouse steps. He warily crossed the threshold and was immediately met by a slightly disheveled man who stepped forward, extended his hand and greeting, and said, "Robert!"
Effortlessly, the host flipped open a box of cigars and offered his illustrious guest a stogie. Robert...

I thought this was cool and I know my kids would get a kick out of it, as well as I, I'm sure.

Not a new idea but the first time it has been commercialized. I recall my grandfather pontificating about this when I were a nipper and lego had just arrived in the UK. And didn't James May build a e lego house a few years back?
Still, about bloody time, really. Going to buy me some land and build me a lego cabin.

It really is the way to go. Very portable, I would imagine.

I've always talked about doing something like that with Lego - be great fun and now I can!

They've already thought of that - they have a smooth-topped "finishing block", as well.
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.

Lego has those as well. Never prevented me from stepping on all the other blocks anyway.

It was a somber but grand farewell for a beloved cardiologist, who had passed on. As a grand finale, the wall behind the casket, which was designed to look like a beautiful heart opened and the casket slowly disappeared into it. Just then a couple of men sitting in the back row could not control their giggling and nudging each other in the ribs. The master of ceremonies was visibly upset and walked up to them and asked as to what they thought they were doing.
They replied, "We are a proctologist and a Gynocologist. We were wondering as to what would be the design of the door that we will be disappearing through one day!!"

In that respect - as well as in any other respect - I would definitely prefer being the gynecologist!

It might be all rainbows and unicorns for the first few weeks; but over the long haul there's no group that gets more bored at the sight of a sunshine. NOT a place I'd want to find myself.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Reminds me of this old joke:
- What's the similarity between a dog and a nearsighted gynecologist?
- ???
- They both have a wet nose!

That's trivial: just code for a system that uses "B" [Branch] instead (e.g., S/360 et seq) or "TRA" [TRAnsfer] (IBM 704x/709x).
Serious question: does any current-production assembler *not* use "JMP" (or some other mnemonic based on "jump")?

...So here it is at last: The Shepherd's Crown[^]
The final, last ever, never to be written about again, Discworld novel is finally out.
I don't honestly know if I want to read it.
If I don't, I can anticipate a "new" Discworld book for a long, long time. And perhaps that's a more fitting tribute to Sir Pterry than just keeping him in the Clacks Overhead Chrome extension.
But if I don't, I'll miss out on (hopefully) his finest work.
Does that make any sense?

It makes a lot of sense.
I had the same with DNA and his last work was incomplete...however I was glad I'd read it even then. We have so little of the genius these men created available to us that to deny ourselves any seems foolish.
