You haven't enjoyed the last three books but you think TLC is
a cool one? Then there must have been books I am not aware
of. As far as I know J, TLC and CJ were the last three Discworld
books. Or did you mean it in comparison? That J and TLC are
good books but compared to the others they are not as good
in your opinion?

Comparison. The latest books Had some very funny bits in them but the rest
are brilliant. In CArpe Jugulm i thought he was trying to focus more on a
novel than a humour/fantasy kinda thing.

that crowd how to do it.
I am sort of surprised he has not joined the Schrodinger's cat crowd with a
book that really uses the cat.
This book is better the second time through.

Permanent marker pen might well dissolve them - when I was at
University some idiot used solvent-based paint on some life jackets[1]
and left them porous because the solvent had attacked the rubber.

much danger of sinking, being in the middle of England.

Biro? In my experience biros tend not to be sharp and
can write on virtually any thing. Mind you I haven't tried
writing on condoms though. Or could it be that only the
packet is signed? Sorry to spoil anyone's image there :-).

No, latex stretches. You'd either make a lot of people depressed or -
if you compensate beforehand - make people try not to stretch the
condom lengthwise while putting it on.
>I think 12" is actually physicaly impossible, because the amount of
>blood needed to make it errect would mean you faint...
Actually, that depends on a number of other things. First of all, you
need to think of both length and width to determine the amount of
blood needed. Second, not all men are of identical height and weight.
They thus contains a varying amount of blood. The blood pressure also
has something to say. So if you've got a 210 cm tall 250 kilo man, I
don't think it would be a problem at all...How many fitting the
description have you met?

<g> I think you must be too tired and emotional to be worrying about

Greebo remains quite definitely male.

My knowledge of cats (being the care-giver to three) dictates that ALL cats
have their own chair and, depending on what you mistakenly think you own,
television, bed, fridge, etc.
Greebo in particular is a cat who most definitely has his own chair
(although that probably wasn't the one referred to in Carpe Jugulum).
Anyway, if Greebo wants to be a HER, are you gonna argue?

Going _down_, no, you're quite right.
But not much use if the dinghy flipped over on the way back from the
dive chucking you and empty air-tanks into the sea.
As it happens, we were delighted 'cos it gave us the excuse to apply
for extra funding from the Student Union, quoting "safety" as an
unchallengable argument. We used the funds to buy some proper
sub-aqua lifejackets[1] (inflatable at any depth by compressed air)
instead of the yachtsman-type keep-you-afloat things powered by
soda-siphon cartridges that our benevolent idiot had ruined.
[1] It's years since I dived - I gather they call them something
different these days (like Buoyancy Control Device) and you use them
constantly to fine-tune the balance.

That's the bunny. Unless you're me, in which case you deflate it as flat
as it can possibly go, hang hundreds of lead weights off yourself and
_still_ stay bobbing on the surface.
My dad[1] was astonished at the fact that I had to use all his weights
in order to actually go _sub_ aqua.
Still, it makes it a bit more difficult for me to drown, which has got to be
fairly good.

I think I'm another one of those: I had to re-take my swimming test in
elementary school because I did the underwater thing with everything
except my buttocks under water. It seems to run in the family: I have a
3 1/3 year old daughter who is very scrawny, but swims like a duck
(when I let her go in the pool she's five yards away before you can say
'blub').

It's an electronic visiting card.. if you were to translate it from it's
arcane language, you would find out much that is interesting.. on the

decides it's a binary attachment, and will either ignore it completely,

This one comes courtesy of Microsoft's Outlook Express. I believe that
.vcf stands for Visiting Card File and that it carries information
similar to what could go in a .sig. It serves little purpose because, as
you have already noticed, you need the proper application to read it.
(To be fair, I'll add that Nexus 6/Tyrell now seems to have gotten rid
of it on the request of a couple of people.)
