    You can make an executable .jar file simply by archiving a java class with standard archiving software, then renaming the extension to jar.

    Best of luck using that piece of 'wisdom'.

    (It's probably wrong too :P)

    Today i learned theres a new craze in the US for kids to smoke candy, now when i heard about it i thought 'thats either a mushroom and MDMA joint, or some new drug/ slang that i dont know'. Turns out they just crush up candy (smarties, like refreshers over here) and inhale the dust, or snort it instead.
    WHY would u do such a thing?! (Tho my mates once snorted pro-plus caffine tablets, we were bored and had nothing else to do)

    I learned that using the weight machines isn't always a good idea when the man on the machine directly in front of you is wearing shorts that sit a little too low. Bum cleavage :( *shudder*

    I also learned that men should really take advantage of all the hygiene products out there, so that I don't have to stare at the incredibly spotty arse belonging to said low-sitting shorts-wearing man.
