On a dialog box that displayed a fatal error message I once set the icon to a Jolly Roger.
I was told to strike my colors as it were. My manager said (and I have to agree) that a user staring at a crashed application wouldn't be amused.

Comic Sans is something that you didn't know was "bad" until you used it and then read that it is "bad", and it nags at you for ever after.

If it wasn't still funny it wouldn't be an old joke. It would just be an old story.
So old jokes are good, they've stood the test of time!

One of my T-shirts says: You don't have to be senile to be demented - but it helps.
I had it may for my 60th birthday. By Norwegian health terminology, you are senile from age 60.

Dementia and senility are inevitable wrinkles of the brain.
I think Norwegian health recognizes this.
We have no choice but to carry on. "Use or lose it."

In (Norwegian, and I believe in all/most countries) medical terminology, 'senile' by itself means nothing but 'of old age'. For definition purposes, they drew the line at 60 years: From that age, you are senile. You have a higher likelyhood of catching a number of diseases and other medical conditions, including dementia, but not that you are actually suffering from all of these old-age problems.
In everyday Norwegian talk, 'senile dementia' has been shortened down to 'senile', which is misleading. The medical establishment always refer to 'dementia', which may also occur before you turn 60. 'Old age dementia' can be referred to as 'senile dementia', but lots of doctors try to avoid that term, to try to move people over to use the medically correct term for the mental disorder(s), dementia. I believe the same is the case in English.
Hospitals have child wards for your patients, and senile wards for patients of old age. 'Child' says nothing about the medical condition, nor does 'senile'. You may find patients with lots of different plagues in the child ward, and the same holds for the senile ward. Of course: Dementia is more prominent in the senile ward than in the child ward - and so is a lot of other plagues. That is why they (sometimes) have a separate senile ward, with special competence in handling those old-age, senile, related health problems.

Understood. Very interesting. Thanx. My parents were in their 80's and 90's when they passed and both had some form of dementia. The doctors referred to it as simply age related dementia and in my mother's case it was both age and medicine related dementia. The word senile was never used.

Yeah, Rodney is quite a wit as well. Very funny man.

Um ... have you forgotten something? I have a solution, but it's lacking a definition.

I'm probably wrong then - it's not IPSO FACTO!
