I just read around, and saw that I was being compared to fable, CM and BS all at once in 3 separate threads. This greatly disturbs me.
I *still* have my spell checker, but it works only for IE.

That either means that you are a complex and multi-faceted individual...or.... you suffer from a multiple personality disorder...

Because I like to share: the [url="http://www.astdhpphe.org/infect/guinea.html"]guinea worm.[/url]
I love a good horror story. And this was the type of thing the medicals liked to scare us non-medicals with when I was working with MSF...
I especially like:
Diagnosis is usually made by seeing the adult worm protruding from a skin sore.
and the way of getting it out.

"What is the treatment for Guinea worm disease?
There is no cure. The only treatment is to remove the worm over many weeks by winding it around a small stick and pulling it out a tiny bit at a time. Sometimes the worm can be pulled out completely within a few days, but the process usually takes weeks or months.
No medication is available to end or prevent infection. However, the worm can be surgically removed before the wound begins to swell. Antihistamines and antibiotics can reduce swelling and ease removal of the worm."
Oh.. how lovely! :speech:
Gives a whole new take on that old kid's ditty about "going into the garden and eating worms"
@Fiona,
Hmm...
Not up to much entertaining right now, sorry!

Ah well, in general in tropical countries, it's not so much the large wildlife that you should watch out for, but it's the little buggers. Nairobi fly, sand fleas, mosquito's, scorpions,...

Well if DW won't entertain you I'll engage everyone in a little drive-by joke-telling... Here's a favorite, though it's not so mucha joke...
Heaven is where:
The police are British
The mechanics are German
The cooks are French
The lovers are Italian
And the whole thing is organized by the Swiss
Hell is where:
The police are German
The cooks are Birtish
The mechanics are French
The lovers are Swiss
And the whole thing is organized by the Italians
PS Glad there wasn't a problem lestat
Night Fiona!

Night Fiona!
@Lestat..
that reminds me of a quote I heard somewhere:
It goes something like: "Anyone who thinks they are too small to change the world has never attempted trying to sleep next to a mosquito"
@Tony,
lol!

I've always liked that one

*Kicks phreddie's lifeless form in the ribs a handful of times*
Huh, his family must've engaged him in so much small talk his voicebox exploded... Medic! Go up to lestat's office and grab some of the febreeze he stole from phreddie... Should be in the safe on the wall behind the Dali painting, combo is 1-6-38... take your time though, he isn't going anywhere :mischief:

Not to forget the office.
What do I get then? Something bigger and grander surely?

Posted: Fri Nov 25, 2005 3:28 pm
by TonyMontana1638
Well naturally Rav, your office is bigger than Lestat's to provide you with more room to hang all of your "Spam Factory Employee of the Month" awards and your "SF Rookie of the Year" award

... It also comes equipped with pleasure slaves and an M16 you can use to take potshots at the workers...:mischief:
Did I mention they were dwarven pleasure slaves? Much more up your alley I'm sure...

@ DW: It had better be the multifaceted one... the old man in me gets cranky if he isn't properly worshipped.
