   2. A sphere has two sides. However, there are one-sided surfaces.
   3. There are shapes of constant width other than the circle. One can even drill square holes.

  41. There are many things that can be added: numbers, vectors, matrices, spaces, shapes, sets, functions, equations, strings, chains...
  42. Among any two integers or real numbers one is larger, another smaller. But you can't compare two complex numbers.
  43. The only triangle with rational sides and angles is equilateral.
  44. 0!=1
  45. One is morally obligated to do everything impossible.

Anybody have one of these boys?


I'd imagine it must cost a fortune to keep a dog like that.

Used to have a Lab, might get another or a German Shepard maybe.

Indeed. I dont relish having to pick up its shit.

I have a yellow Lab...great dog...but don't sign on for a big dog unless you are willing to put the time and effort into exercising them...Mine gets two hour long walks every day, rain, hail, snow or sunshine...keeps him very calm and happy....it works out ok for me too, a bit of exercise keeps the weight down and I hate gyms.  Got a big fenced in yard for him during the day while I'm at work.

My lab chewed the kitchen furniture in the first six months. The witch was not happy with the bitch.

It may be an indicator of something amiss hardware wise as the scan it performs is fairly intensive on hardware.

Some desktops will switch off after heavy activity like that. Try breaking up the scan into pieces

What is gay about lifting weights?
Is there anyone out there who doesn't / hasn't done weights and can't appreciate the strength, time and dedication that goes into reaching your goals in the gym and on the filed?
I wish I could get back to lifting - but it takes an awful amount of time.  I was training 3/4 days a week at the weights and it showed at the time - I am in poor shape these days and have nobody to blame but myself.
At 12 stone I was benching 110kg as a one rep max - that was on the Smith Machine mind you.  On the free standing bench I could only manage 95Kg.
My training partner was about 10.5 stone at the time and could lift 120Kg on the Smith for 3 reps. Strong hoor.

When men start comparing the size of their muscles I know its time to get out of the showers.

That's the family tree sorted then. What about a family circle? That means listing all
4 Grandparents
8 G Grandparents
16 GG Grandparents
32 GGG Grandparents
64 GGGG Grandparents (assuming nobody has a speech impediment)

The board is quiet enough for decent topics these days without cordoning off the soccer threads into their own little section. Leave them where they are. There is only a few of them anyway.


Agreed, their are really only 4 main soccer threads that regularly surface, Celtic, Man U, Liverpool and FAI/Ireland thread, as has been said already by another poster, the reason for the large number of threads atm is primarially (sp) the time of year. So bad idea, having visited OWC and seen the way a board cvan end up being segmented to death, it's just confusing and not worth it.

Oh jeez no. Are you okay? Did they try to knock your windows in? Did you wash afterwards?
