The Euro has 1c, 2c, 5c, 10c, 20c, 50c, 1euro and 5 euro coins... Paper bills from there on up. The 1c and 2c coins are magnetic and I extract them from my change pile with a neodymium magnet...
I work at a military installation and all the USD based commerce (BX/PX/Commisary) is done without pennies.
Although the odor of the chocolate truffle you just ate may be irresistible bait to your beloved, the proper expression is “bated breath.” “Bated” here means “held, abated.” You do something with bated breath when you’re so tense you’re holding your breath.
Back in my NT3.51/NT4.0 days we covered 500 with 3 just for 1st look maintenance which included getting them damn IRQs right to get the SCSI cards to work without losing your sound card. oy!
I'm sure if I'm still playing by the time I hit 80 I'd suck at raids because I'm one of those 'loner' players who just likes to quest. I can't chain myself to my system for x amount of time to complete instances, let alone raids. I won't even get started on dealing with A-holes and punks. I plan to stop playing when Diablo III comes out... WoW's fun, but it's not my idea of socializing. I do that outside.:-)

I do know that if you buy a car in a state with a sales tax of, say 3%. And move to NY a year or so later. They're going to want the difference (4%) when you go to register your car. So when you think your registration's going to cost $100* and it ends up costing $1000, it's a bit of a shock.
*Not sure what a registration costs these days. I've been living in Europe for the past 6 years. w00t!
Sound like you're from the Netherlands... I live in Germany and they don't have as many bike paths. But you have to give a bike (or scooter) at least 1 meter clearance when passing. Everyone seems to follow this rule. I've been in a line of cars 5 deep slowly waiting for a chance to pass a cyclist. No problem for me. I get my chance to drive fast on the Autobahn!

Haha! I read 'Quatloos' and thought, "what a geek." Then I read your username. :-)
Lol... So are you a troll or what?
Modern air travel can overcome the ocean. Though this seems to be regarding nosocomial infections, even patients are transported overseas...
Ha ha... Gecko inspired... That was my first thought when reading the title too...
+1 Funny! Well, 'I' laughed anyway... :-)
Lol! That was my favorite thing to make my Barbarian say in Diablo II... Yeah, I do foresee some late night gaming coming back into my life as well.

And they're bigger than bottle rockets!
Well put.
And all the other obnoxious a-holes in the theatre... I really hate going to the movies for just that reason.
Where's the terrible pun mod? :-)

Yup... The SPs/MPs will happily do a free sniff of your recently purchased used car. Can't beat a good training opportunity.

My answer to that (after 22 years) is always "Your a$$ drives my crazy and makes me want to fsck you." So far, so good. Oz

You can get a RC Dragonfly toy today. http://www.amazon.com/Discovery-Exclusive-Radio-Control-DragonFly/dp/B000QMYSDM It may not be as small or come with a camara, but it does look cool.
