I have to say that many years ago I did question the validity of the kid sister rule, on the grounds of my kid sister being a high-priced hooker in Las Vegas, but it appears the powers-to-be discounted my position on the issue.

Unsure if you're using hyperbole or you're being literal. 
Either way, sometimes you get to know a little bit too much about other people's families...

In my original post, around ten years ago, I just asked "What if my kid sister ... etcetera", thereby leaving it as an open question - which it still is.

Gotcha. It was all hypothetical. I'm assuming you were asking for a friend...

My kid sister turns 50 next year.

When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

Well it's great to know that I have one thing to look forward to when I start my workday. The CodeProject daily news blast and the most important part of it is the zingers that come with every headline. Sometimes I just wanna leave a comment about the zinger somewhere but alas, there is no method for that.
Ps. Wth kind of messaging/forum format is this? lol. Was Dave involved in this development? Dave's not big on UX..

You can go to The Insider News[^] and see it yourself. Most of the messages and their one-liners are posted by @Kent-Sharkey

Yes, there is
Just come here to the insider forum. A lot of replies are so good as the one liners, and you can post yours too.
The link is at the beginning of this message, on the CP-Naviation Menu of the left side of the site or in the dropdown "community" in the header of the page

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

 Indeed! I wandered in seeking and finding not just answers but articles/tutorials, so I signed up for the daily newsletters and have commented previously regarding the wit and sarcasm in the taglines. I don't always read the articles, but I always read the tagline! Thanks again Kent!

OK, but be aware that if you go to the Insider News forum[^], there are people there who have been accused of being acerbic.
Make sure that your sensibilities are insensitive enough, first.

Chiron was half horse and half human doctor.
This made him the Centaur for disease control!

Zeus and Perseus were watching a game of football - the gods versus the humans. Perseus looked around the pitch at all the players and noticed a half horse, half human professional.
"Who's that player over there?" he asked.
"That's our Centaur-forward."

That pun was Apollo-ing! The Minerva some people! You should consider taking it Bacchus!

I do not get the reference to Greek mythology.
Or ... was it a real compliment on the Internet ? Then nevermind, never saw one before.

I know this is a joke but can i just say it's also funny that you bring up greek mythology while Balboos and I were talking about mythology on another thread.

Reminds me of my fame-whore cousin who is also a Centaur. Always wants to be the Centaur of attention.

My male greyhound's name is Bacchus, the Greek/Roman god of wine and fertility. My wife picked out the name before we met him.
The funny part is this - Bacchus doesn't bark, he only whines. I tell people he's the god of whine.
