I agree, but....a fart can only exist when there's sufficent "pressure-build". Is super-compressed methane heavier than equal bodyt mass??? these questions need answering.... The pressure build in a human, or other animal, anus is nowhere near 'super compression' in scientific terms. I'd understand 'super-compression' to mean a state near to producing chemical changes in the gas or the state of the gas. Thanks for all of this. I finally have an understanding of the Big Bang Theory! Still in the dark about the farts, though.

What is a "Plug Nickel"? Well, a real nickel is what you get back in change if you're buying coffee and hand the man a dollar. A plug nickel is funny money or a counterfeit coin.

Belated Greetings and Birthday Sexiness Carol Ann. Happy Birthday Grobler!

Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades

A belated but heartfelt happy birthday Honez.

That sort of attitude on the part of your employers is outrageous and absolutely uncalled for. I'm afraid you're going to have to set some limits before it gets completely out of hand.

I ran six miles this morning, I'm tired, I'll ring the surgery and check if it's likely to be fatal shall I? OK , I'll do my best to translate this.... In the American dialect, means, roughly: A'd rather fool meesell tha' admit i' wuz the peeve an pills that killed her, like. BTW do you often run six miles in the morning? I can't imagine myself ever doing that unless something really huge and hairy was chasing me, and all the while I'd be desperately scanning the horizon in search of a tree to climb to escape Bigfoot or whatever it was.

I thought she'd be a decent pick for a deadpool, so she's on my CPDP theme team. She seems to be following in her mothers footsteps to a sad slow decline. Liza is quoted as saying it wasn't an overdose or cirrhosis that killed her mother at 47. Liza, at 61, may be on borrowed time.

Birthday Greetings to Boudicca,Sweet Sorrow and VSBfromH!

You genius. I think the problem is that they couldn't think of a proper pun for the news title, and you've just provided the clue: The Lyon finally sleeps tonight! That's crap. Oh c'mon, it's not that bad! Can you do any better? (Cowboy Ronnie's is good though...) I can do worse! End of the Rhode for Ian Smith.

Happy Birthday ATJ.

At last! The final answer to this question.

I'll take a wild guess here and wager that he has not yet exhibited any signs of the rugged individual/curmudgeon genes he's inherited from his father just yet, because thirteen year old people are rarely nonconformists. Just take a peek out the window and observe what his mates are wearing and get him one.

Happy Birthday ML xoxoxoxoxoxoxox

Okay! I'll start. *drumroll* twatloon -v., noun, adj. as in he is a twatloon, he twatloons everywhere he goes, that is a twatloon tie you're wearing.

Who's who?

Having read all this I'm now thinking I should have voted for Ban The Lot instead of for no set execution dates. Candidates on death row would actually be more appropriate for a Live Pool. 1 point if he manages to live through the year 2 extra points for an appeal 3 extra points if he is exonerated and released 4 extra points if he escapes (With penalties of course if someone is murdered or tops themselves while in jail)

Pope said Limbo doesn't exist anymore. Then David Hasselhoff should stop doing it if he knows whats good for him!

Good grief. No offense intended but arent you being just a leeeetle paranoid? I mean isnt this supposed to be a gentlemans game governed by a code of honor? Not to worry. I've called a friend of mine and he's agreed to oversee the entire operation.

Happy belated birthday TMIB. Hope you had a wonderful day.

I feel that now might be as good a time as any for a limerick: There once was a Munchkin from Oz ------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------!

No apology necessary, DDT, I knew what you meant. Even as I type I'm envisioning the brand new Derby Deadpool Themepark : cartoon characters with gigantic heads all dressed up as Claude Levi-Strauss and Oscar Niemeyer, while tourists jostle for autographs. Look Bobby! There goes Ronnie Biggs! I don't care Mommy. I want a Derby Burger. I WANT A DERBY BURGER RIGHT NOW!!! OK, OK, keep the wallpaper.

If no one minds reading obits written by a North American, I would love to tackle some of them. Say the R,S,T,U,V,W and Z's that DDT can't be arsed to do. Anyway, thanks to RK and Siegfried for a job well done, and enjoy your retirement! The wallpaper does remind me of the kitchen in my first apartment though , but that's my problem, not yours.

I voted to keep Gore Vidal on the list. His life partner recently died, and perhaps more importantly, his long time nemisis has now kicked the bucket. Read here about 'The Night of the Tiny Fist' .

Happy Birthday Typh
