    Yes I do think men are that f*cking stupid.

    Especally if some sexy woman is putting out for them.

    The whole problem is men get to a point of no return when 'she wants to fuck me' is more important than 'where the hell is that bloody condom'

    This is becaus if we actually inforced the laws instead of making new ones Polititions wouald be able to do their job by just meeting up once a month or so and reviwing the cases in the fedral courts.

    The polatitions would have to spend the rest of tyhe time with their constituants and most would be away from the capital where all the parties and free lunch^W^W lobiests are.

    Go back several years in the UK, and buying fertaliser while being Irish could get your name on the UK Intelligence files.

    Note to none terrorists: Nitrate Ferterliser can be used as an explosive.

    How ever explosives can be made from:

    Fireworks, custerd powder, curry powder, talc ...

    Timers can be baught under the generic terms clocks, and watches.

    Power sauces for the electric bits, tecnically called 'battries' can be baught from 'Hardware' Stores, as can projectiles sutch as nails and glass as well as plastic coated extruded copper, called 'wire' that can be used to carry an electric current.

    Detailed construction plans can be got from the Internet, which as all right thinking people know should be shut down imidiatly as it is used soley by terrorists to communicate.

    Terrorists also use mobile phone networks to communicate so we should shut thoes down.

    They also use snail mail to post boms and demands, as well as communicate with each other so we need to block them.

    This just leves carrier pidgions. So I have decided that as a preemptive strike against terrorists we should shoot all the pidgions.

    Thank you and good night!

    I think it's down to a combination of concentration and pleasure.

    If you are doing somthing you like, this is where my biology lets me down, you produce 'happy' chemicals, possabley also an adrenalin rush.

    This probably combines with the chemicals produced by your brain when you concentrate to get you into 'the zone'.

    How ever, just to piss on the BBC's bonfire. This artical looks more like a puff pice for one of their 'science' programs, as I'd hardly call a recerach sample of 2 with no control a representitve sample.
