I must have annoyed somebody - my spam count has gone from 300+ per day to around 10. Perhaps it's more to do with the holidays being over. Either way, happy not to have to trawl through a huge pile of rubbish just in case a genuine mail got marked as spam. Happy days.

Did you sic the Simmons on them? 
(That's one step above siccing the Pournelle on them. )
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 read that 4,153,237 people got married last year. Not to cause any trouble, but shouldn't that be an even number?
I find it ironic that the colors red, white, and blue stand for freedom until they are flashing behind you.

My therapist said that my narcissism causes me to misread social situations. I’m pretty sure she was hitting on me.
My 60 year kindergarten reunion is coming up soon and I’m worried about the 175 pounds I’ve gained since then.

Money can’t buy happiness, but it keeps the kids in touch!
The reason Mayberry was so peaceful and quiet was because nobody was married. Andy, Aunt Bea, Barney, Floyd, Howard, Goober, Gomer, Sam, Earnest T Bass, Helen, Thelma Lou, Clara and, of course, Opie were all single. The only married person was Otis, and he stayed drunk.

But is being in Denny's any of the other 364 days any better?

That will perhaps be your traditional Western Christian protestant conditioning speaking to you.
Polygmamy and polyandry would enable this number to be odd.

I guess that would depend on how you interpret x people got married. I interpret it as equal to if a person gets married x times that counts as 1 as we are counting people getting married not mariages.

In my current MVC project, I wanted to display the last edit date of the view in the footer. It took me about 75 lines of code scattered over three folders and half a dozen files to achieve it, as well as about four hours of research time.
There are things MS could have done to make it simpler...
