I was doing Monty Python's Hungarian phrase book, but in French, and tasman was sort of joining in.

Les Fission head gaskets?

I'm not sure what would be French about that, so I added Les, and I'm not sure fission head gaskets would be safe, but each to his own.

It's a funny word,colloquially a witch is female, but if you ask anyone who is a witch, the males will tell you they're witches too.

Calling a male witch a warlock is highly offensive - a warlock is a traitor who has been expelled from his moot.

A wizard practices wizadry, which is a distinct school of magic, not practiced by witches.

Personally, I'm of a "The Gods are personified metaphors of natural phenomenon" kind of guy, so don't have to play silly little word games like these, but I do have to put up with lots of people who take their Gods rather more literally than I do tell me what they've been bickering about this week.

Wow, the motorbikes must be tiny to fit on a track the size of a fish.

Yeah - it's definitely one of the first two.

It still thinks one of them is a cat, and you've still got a 20% chance of getting them right. You can also guess - you don't lose the ad until you get it wrong thrice (discovered when I had flash issues, not when I was incompetent at clicking cats).

Oh, Is it David Moncoutie, for that one year he announced a positive doping test on his facebook page, and waited an entire day before adding poisson d'avril? That's French, Fishy, and a rider.

Well, that's that debate settled.

Thinking about it a bit more, even the teaching of tech is held back by cutting education elsewhere.

Nobody taught me to program. If anyone did, Simon Forrester (staff writer at Amstrad Action) gets the credit...but I basically taught myself, he just helped me refine it.

I learned the nuts and bolts by reading what other people had written, changing it, and finding out what the changes did. This isn't what they teach in info tech classes today, it's what they've always taught in science classes - it's the scientific method.

All learning comes from first principles, you can't skip the first principles.

The best way to answer this question is to conduct an experiment.

Step one: Find a teenage child. It doesn't matter where from, just pull one in from the street, it'll be fine.

Step Two: Place said child in a room without electricity.

Step Three: Watch them go completely insane.

Step Four: Run away before they infect you.

Cursive might be a thing nobody uses anymore, but in general, I think education into traditional things needs to increase. As a rule of thumb, you can apply traditional skills to technology, but not the reverse.

Independence from the British Empire was a wise decision. Well done, India, I wish we could follow suit.

Sounds like a job for the three rules of snakes.

The first rule is if you see a snake, don't call your friends, don't form a committee, don't get a meeting together, just kill the snake.

The second rule is don't play with dead snakes. Too many people waste too much time on decisions that have already been made.

The third rule is all opportunities start out looking like snakes.

Sulking, moaning, and getting into a huff about how terrible everything is, is a gross violation of the first rule. You're right, you have to kill the bloody snake.

It is important to note though, that for some people depression is the problem they need to make go away, and they can't do that on their own - it's literally biologically impossible for them to do it on their own.

I didn't have a Facebook account for years, because it's immoral and unethical. But I'm nearly bankrupt now, and I couldn't afford to turn down a job that required me having a Facebook account. Morals don't put food on the table.

As far as I can see, Facebook is mostly inappropriate photographs of children, taken by the children themselves, coming via my daughter liking them, and an occasional photograph of a garden from somebody my own age.

Oh, I've got it, I know what it is now.

It's Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, because without Pierre Teilhard de Chardin we wouldn't have The Phenomenon of Man, and without The Phenomenon Of Man, Sir Peter Brian Medawar wouldn't have been able to write the greatest book review of all time, which itself is better than most books.
