However, one could use "Window Blinds" in a skin, since that refers to something one might dress there house windows with.

I find that rum, mixed with ice and taken in large quantities works best for me. I also find that if my lungs are congested I can inhale a special magical substance that a "buddy" gets for me, and the congestion is greatly reduced. The problem is, this substance makes me extremely hungry for a few hours after inhaling it. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/images/smiles/joke.gif" border=0 ALIGN="
Just sent another one (6:12 pm est) Finally, a email with the necessary links arrived. Thank-you
The email link is not responding. Sent one in 2.5 hrs. ago, sent another in 2.25 hours ago, sent another in 2 hours ago, still no reply to my email. However, if it is just a server problem, I will continue to be patient. Thank-you
Suddenly, I have a terrible cold!
I know what you mean c242. I've managed to upload just 1 skin in the past 2 months. Meanwhile, my 'skinning' folder is 25 MB big and growing. It's stuffed with bits and pieces of half finished skins.
I think the really long answer might contain some bad words.
Another little fact: The source of the expression "cock and bull story". Meaning: A fanciful and unbelievable tale. Origin: The phrase may have originated at Stony Stratford in Buckinghamshire, England. The village has two pubs, the Cock and the Bull. Coaches between London to Birmingham changed horses at one pub or the other. The banter of the rival groups of travellers, from England's two largest cities, resulted in exaggerated and fanciful
A famous palindrome that is often used as an example when defining a palindrome is "Madam, I'm Adam". It is a palindrome, just not a "Perfect" palindrome such as the word "radar".
Now, if you are talking about a "Perfect Palindrome", well then, yes. I was talking about a general palindrome.
In a palindrome the spaces and letter groups do not matter. Only the letters themselves matter. The space between 'race' and 'car' means nothing in a palindrome. The letters are still r-a-c-e-c-a-r, no matter how you look at it. And in reverse, they are still r-a-c-e-c-a-r.
It sounds like your camping diet is similar to mine. Marshmallows, coffee and canned beans.
Smashed marshmallows are more difficult to skewer with a stick.
'In comparing British, American and Canadian writing, in 1972, Margaret Atwood noted the unifying themes at the heart of each national literature. The motif in England is seen as "the island" - after all, an Englishman's home is his castle. The dominant American symbol is "the Frontier," which "suggests a place that is new where the old order can be discarded." In Canada, the central symbol in both English- and French-Canadian literature is "Survival, la Survivance." The main idea is "hangin
I speak a language loosely based on the "English" English. It's called Canadian, eh!
Now, getting back to the spirit of this thread; Here is a little known fact that should finally settle the arguement.... According to Genesis 1:20-22, the chicken came before the egg.
'Brit: "Yank, where did you learn to mispronounce 'shedule' as 'skedule'? Yank: "I think it was in grammar shool."' ...not to be confused with " shule ". Where my wife goes every Shabbat.
Here is a link to both the General and Special Relativity theories. http://www.bartleby.com/173/ Read them over. (shouldn't take more than a day. ), then express them as emoticons. Of course, I'm only kidding.
GM, that would probably work for most everyday conversation, but how would one use emoticons to express a really complex idea, such as Einstein's General Relativity Theory?
BTW, this thread was really meant to be a depository for little know or meaningless facts. Guess it is staying it's course.
The letters in "Race car" are r-a-c-e-c-a-r. Reverse the letters and,..... r-a-c-e-c-a-r. A palindrome, by definition.
Let's break it right down to bare minimum, at least in the written language. To express surprise, we could just write an exclamation point. Everyone knows what it means. Hell, let's do away with letters altogether. How did the person react to winning a million dollars, she asked. "!", she replied.
Jafo, I thought relief was spelled " r-o-l-a-i-d-s". At least, that what North American television commercials told us for years and years.
As for "I go" and "They go", you're right.
