'black socks' sold to the public are not real black, if you look closely they are just very, very, very, very, very, very dark blue.

real black socks are only sold to priests

If you can avoid going on a horn for 20 - 25 days, it is likely that your next erection will be permanent. This is because the muscles that contract to allow the blood contra-flow out of your penis, back into the body, tend to atrophy very quickly. In urology, this is known as Viagralisation.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viagralisation

Pagan Shamans would spend years in the desert, thinking unsexy thoughts, trying manfully to achieve a permanent bar in their pants. Many failed, and sought to fake the condition by planting a stale sausage or a cucumber in their crotchal region. The penalty for such deception was a swift, merciless kick in the ging-gang-goolies from the village club-foot.

yes its true, and I assume its legal because you are not tampering with the machine in anyway and only using features it has built in.

It would be illegal. The same way if you find something on the street, a wallet for example, and make no attempt to return it to its owner then its theft.

I looked into the coke machine thing a while ago and from what i remember you need the ones with the LED displays, very old ones.

I once had horrible frightening dream where I realised I'd been making mistakes all my life by putting fadas on the words "tá" and "bhí". All the fada's laid end to end were massive and would have easily used up one pencil. I woke up in a sweat and realised the fada's do belong on tá and bhí. phew!

nobody knew that. except me.

There are no statues on O'Connell St. (Dublin).. Jim Larkin and the rest are all monuments. The last statue to stand on O'Connell St. was the statue of our lady at the Gresham taxi rank.

That's very nearly the correct answer.

The reason there are no statues in O'Connell St, Dublin is because there is no such place.:eek:

There is however an Upper O'Connell St. and a Lower O'Connell St.;)

From the manual :

PHP succeeds an older product, named PHP/FI. PHP/FI was created by Rasmus Lerdorf in 1995, initially as a simple set of Perl scripts for tracking accesses to his online resume. He named this set of scripts 'Personal Home Page Tools'. As more functionality was required, Rasmus wrote a much larger C implementation, which was able to communicate with databases, and enabled users to develop simple dynamic Web applications. Rasmus chose to » release the source code for PHP/FI for everybody to see, so that anybody can use it, as well as fix bugs in it and improve the code.

Right-handed people live, on average, nine years longer than left-handed people.

Left handed people are statistically more likely to be gay than righties and are also more likely to be geniuses.

Right handed people generally move to the right to avoid bumping into someone on the street, the opposite is true for left handed people.

The next time you do that awkward shuffle with someone on the street, ask them are they left/right handed.
