    There are plenty of people with their faces poorly encoded into QR codes. I've seen many on people's avatars. There's even a website that does this for you. I couldn't get mine to be recognisable though :(

    I've also seen the BBC characters visible on a QR code, so it can be done.

    Let me have a another go:

    Listen buddy. Gas is 4 bucks gallon and I only get 12mpg at 85mph. So here's what I'm going to do. I'm going drive at 55mph and I'm going to get 18mpg. If you don't like it, you can overtake me and look at my middle finger at the same time.

    Simple as that.

    Yee Haw.

    I now feel colourfully dirty. My favourite type of dirty.

    It treats earache too.

    My daughter, as a toddler, had one earache after another. Every time the doctor examined her ears, there was nothing wrong. Eventually he prescribed homoeopathic pills, on the NHS, it's not a new thing here. The pills looked and tasted like mints. The earaches stopped.

    I'm no fan of magic and witchcraft. I know it was something other than earache but those pills worked.

    >>To draw an analogy, it's like trying to grow a forest by transplanting seedlings, without considering issues like soil quality, moisture, or environment.

    Bollocks. Trees grow everywhere here. The main problem with growing trees here is the foreign imports thinking they can grow the tallest.

    One night, eight years ago, down on the Cornish coast, we drank this sickly drink called Dooleys. In a moment of madness we placed a scrap of paper in the bottle with my email address and the words "Just for fun". Our small boat was pushed into the English Channel and we sailed out a mile before I lobbed the bottle overboard. Stupidity knows no bounds.

    A month later I recieved an email.

    The bottle had travelled all of two miles down the coast in that time, through one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world.

    A crappy little rubber seal protected the data inside. Maybe it's not so hard to believe a cork could do a better job. :)

    Having had sex before and after circumcision, I can say the sensation during sex increased afterwards. Only slightly, mind you.

    I'll add to your post, as the context wouldn't mean much on other posts. Maybe it'll calm some other people's thoughts too.

    UK born and bred, no religion apart from the FSM.

    Cut at 19, a few years after I started my sex life, solely for the reason of my foreskin being too tight [for my enormous...]. Simple operation. In and out in an hour. I walked to a friend's house in the evening. 32 stitches. Back to work a week later, and it could have been earlier but hey, I was being paid whether I went in or not. No wanking for three weeks. Can you imagine that at 19?!?

    Before and after? Obviously better after because that's why I had the operation, but in truth, no real difference. No problems with soreness, dryness, or sensitivety; maybe a little bit more sensitive, and that's a good thing.

    The wife, although I didn't meet her until a couple of years later, prefers the look. She says it looks like a mini erect penis.

    Friends? It's amazing how many blokes in the UK have had it done when someone admits to it. 50% in my circle of friends, all done because of tightness. Half of those performed in adulthood.

    The worst part? In hospital I had a group of students watching the examination. Standing there with my trollies round my ankles being told to pull the foreskin back infront of everyone was not pleasant. The surgeon pointing at my foreskin with his pen, telling all the crowd he'd cut just below the tight point was not something I'd want to repeat ever. I still imagine the students writting reports on the operation and that report still sitting on a hard drive somewhere.
