you must live in a Latin-ish part of the world where the decimal is used instead of a comma (20,000).

besides spanish speaking folks, do other languages also use a decimal?



This also interested me.

Might make a great XPOD though!
Serious note: I hope it gets resolved soon :-)

Sorry I could not get in to help :(...I am using a laptop at home while houseguests are camping, and the laptop did not like me last night...

In fact, I think I will blame the laptop for not getting the 10,000th post.:D

From the Netherlands, not speaking Spanish :-) As far as I know the decimal is used all over Europe, though maybe not the UK. You could play around with the international settings in Windows to find out as well.


Sweden uses a comma as a decimal point, and a decimal point instead of a comma for units of a thousand.

Naturally, I subvert this ludicrous system wherever I can. :)

OK now before all the blondes here kill me. Please understand I am blonde and I love blonde jokes. I recieved this this morning and thought it was darn funny!

Three Blondes were all applying for the last available position on the Texas Highway Patrol.
The detective conducting the interview looked at the three of them and said, "So y'all want to be cops, huh?"
The blondes all nodded.
The detective got up, opened a file drawer and pulled out a folder. Sitting back down, he opened it and pulled out a picture, and said, "To be a detective, you have to be able to detect. You must be able to notice things such as distinguishing features and oddities, such as scars and so forth." So saying, he stuck the photo in the face of the first blonde and withdrew it after about two seconds.
"Now," he said, "did you notice any distinguishing features about this man ?"
The blonde immediately said, "Yes, I did. He has only one eye!"
The detective shook his head and said, "Of course he has only one eye in this picture! It's a profile of his face! You're dismissed!"
The first blonde hung her head and walked out of the office.
The detective then turned to the second blonde, stuck the photo in her face for two seconds, pulled it back and said, "What about you? Notice anything unusual or outstanding about this man?"
"Yes! He only has one ear!"
The detective put his head in his hands and exclaimed, "Didn't you hear what I just told the other lady? This is a profile of the man's face! Of course you can only see one ear!! You're excused too!"
The second blonde sheepishly walked out of the office.
The detective turned his attention to the third and last blonde and said, "This is probably a waste of time, but..." He flashed the photo in her face for a couple of seconds and withdrew it, saying, "All right, did you notice anything distinguishing or unusual about this man?"
The blonde said, "I sure did. This man wears contact lenses."
The detective frowned, took another look at the picture and began looking at some of the papers in the folder.
He looked up at the blonde with a puzzled _expression and said, "You're absolutely right! His bio says he wears contacts! How in the world could you tell that by looking at his picture?"
The blonde rolled her eyes and said, "Well, Helloooo! With only one eye and one ear, he certainly can't wear glasses."

Unfortunately- I am still feeling. Armor would be handy but it's worn externally.

Nope - not TMI - inquiring minds (or sex-crazed women anyway) want to know.

Wow... Ray, CONGRATS!


Yes I'm still a frozen-assed ghost in my own doorway. It IS rather picturesque, actually. I filed a ticket on me last night at about 22:00, no action or reply yet.

I had to pay Ray with an Alt this morning.

Marcel.. if you want to track pledges for 20K posts, you're welcome to do so. My service to ThreadMother has earned me some down time in that respect.

The XPOD. however DOES continue ... of course.

Good morning, friends!
