13. I understood that...
As dictionaries go, wikipedia would be more comparable to a cult where people can just start making things up as they go along.

10. What's wrong with your picture valerief?
Everyone else's, whether avatar or sig, whether small or enormous, I can see ok, but yours has a link to the picture - which turns out be someone approaching the ugliness of my first piano teacher. Is your sig set up wrong or is there a problem with it somehow?

Which reminds me I must think of a feckin good sig, I've been here long enough now.

Hmmm...should say something on topic...err...

I'm starting a new religion. It'll be called internetism, and it'll basically involve me (and probably you too, my child) praying to a 15' pr 17' square shiny god, and typing magical words on a magical keyboard, to which various minions of god's house invariably reply.

You are all my little angels, bless you all.

Copyright TRYPHO (aka my real name, which is too holy to share here)

If I see internetism appearing on a google link that doesn't have TRYPHO mentioned i'll :nuke: you!
