    As it turns out, I know where socks go. According to a friend whose ex-husband used to repair washing machines, there is usually a gap between the basin and the top of the machine. Socks (and other light items) are occasionally sloshed over the top and into the internals of the washing machine.

    My own theory is that washing machines randomly turn socks into metal coat hangers, and transport them into closets. I dont think Ive ever bought a metal coathanger, but I have tons in my closet, and they seem to multiply.

    I dont generally confuse Christmas and Halloween. Christmas is when I give and get stuff. Halloween is when I decorate and scare the crap out of the neighborhood kids.

    The original Civ was great, and very addicting. Civ 3 is doing the same thing for me.

    Drifting OT here, but I have to share this. A week or so ago, my ladyfriend came home and said "Damnit, Ive had $KIDS_SONG in my head all day, and its all your fault!" (I had put the CD on the night before for my son). I said "The cure is worse than the cold, you know..." She said "Cant be..."

    I don't mind suggestions, but I'm not sure I like the idea of having my code rewritten.

    In the early 90's, we were using one of the C compilers at the time (dont remember which, sorry, we quickly dumped it when Borland came out) one of the error messages was "Need semicolon here" with a ^ to show where. My reaction, every time, was "Shit howdy, if you know that, put it in, and make it a warning!"
