CNN ran this story. I am kind of sorry they did because the mystique is what is fun...as well as the response given when asked.

Speaking of that here are my favorite:
1. Shoes and socks (the safe response)
2. Lipstick (best response was from an 80 year old woman when she asked and I answered!)
3. It'll cost you a good dinner, bottle of wine and a note from my wife to find out!
4. If you have to ask you don't want to know.
5. Something REALLY scary, impressive but scary!

These are my top 5.

I think this has been brought up in 4 separate threads now, we discussed it at length last week when it was news, there is a search function on the forum. I suggest that before posting something like this they use the search function and add their comments to the original thread instead of starting up a new one.

It's in today's edition, so fair game.

I'm just glad Paris friggin' Hilton isn't smirking at me from the splash page.

Good story about British Beer fighting back. I missed the kilt one, but I likely saw it last week. Thanks for the link.

Answers the question, "What's in a name?"

**Rigged** · 10th August 07, 07:37 AM

Too bad his first name isn't "Shaun".

Sorry, couldn't resist.

It's funny how they put a week and a half old story under "breaking news"

I saw this cartoon in today's "Independent" newspaper and it reminded me of this thread but a bit more humorous. The "face", by the way is Alec Salmond our First Minister in Scotland -

and here's another one from the "Times" newspaper -

In defence of Richard, this is a bit unfair McMurdo........not everyone has the time to read every post or even access the site every day. I certainly had not seen it previously and "we" are more than those that do, or are we starting a clique.

That's completely understandable. However, if you're not checking in often, the "new posts" will still show the other three or four threads about it as "unread" so that you can read and add comments at your convenience.

Are you serious?? That's a bit childish.
