It is now time, for me to share with all, the age-old question: <raised eyebrow, maniacal smile, sweaty knees>
...
How long is a piece of string? <flapping robes, evil cackle>
The answer iiiissss..........


Twice as long as half it's length!
<nonsensical muttering, shuffleing off back to whence I came...>

Bah! Now that you come to mention it... well it it sounded good in my head, and I can never resist a few stage directions. <cautious sideways glances, surruptitious prising of eyes away from keyboard and back to homework>

Uh...huh. Oh well, that's no stranger than some of the rest of us have gotten from time to time.

S'apleasure! <annoying self-rightious grin>, I can also tell you the kicking force of the average full-grown ostrich or the hobbies and interests of most yellow-striped sea slugs, should you be interested... <Knowledgeable snort>

EDIT (from my alter-ego):Don't encourage her or she'll never stop, and this forum will be turned into some kind of twisted sea slug lovers web community!

YES PLEASE! I dated one once, and I never COULD figure out what his hobbies and interests were. I think we had a failure to communicate....

That's odd ... I drove one for a number of years. It was a 1972 Vauxhall Chevette, known far and wide as "The Yellow Peril". For all sorts of reasons.



The idiot also known as Capfka ...

Similar to the original post, an old favorite:

Q: How far can a dog run into the woods?

A: Halfway, because if he runs any farther he'll be running OUT of the woods.

And anyway, How much sea could a sea slug slug if a sea slug could slug seashells by the seashore?

(...or something like that.)
