<HTML>What about the worm I learnt about as an undergrad that goes on an extended tour of your body? It starts off being activated by your stomach acid, then burrows into your flesh, goes round the blood supply, buries into muscle to mature then goes on another trip around until it can chew into your gut again before dying as it produces more eggs. Lovely. The problem comes when it starts growing in your brain or heart....</HTML>

<HTML>For those of a delicate nature who were grossed out, <a href="http://www.totse.com/en/technology/computer_technology/cleankey.html">this site</a> will help you repair the damage, although stomach acid isn'#t good for electronics....</HTML>

<HTML>People are quite odd, aren't they? Sending pictures of what's been growing in you- yerk.
Not like any one on THis fforum, no, we send each other pictures of what's growing in our minds, much healthier and nicer, yes guys? Guys???</HTML>

<HTML>speaking of this fforum, I come back from the pub and find that Sarah B has done a lightning raid and replied to about 5 threads, next as I reply, psd replies to a bunch, and now Ooktavia is doing the rounds. I have to ask. Why do we have nothing better to do ath midnightish on a friday night. (although, from the lack of spelling I guess that atr least some of us have been down the pub)</HTML>

<HTML>Hmm, see your point there. I'm sober - I did my drinking in London last night, got lost on the tube and stranded in Oxford</HTML>

<HTML>Damn, the idea was that I would make sure that there was no spelling mistakes in that post, thereby concealing my lack of sobrity. But the fforum does seem more busy this time of night that during the day (yes, I managed to spend all day on the internet rather than revising). Meby we should have an IRC thing going.</HTML>

<HTML>it's only 7:30 pm my time! (but that does not necessarily mean I have a life!)
BTW, PSD, that site was disgusting and it's probably a really good thing you put that disclaimer on it for Dave. I really think he'd faint if he looked there! (I was grossed out and I usually love that kind of thing.)</HTML>

<HTML>There was an even worse one which I didn't link to as it even made my stomach turn. I figured that one was fairly safe as you need to click on a link to get anything gross.</HTML>

<HTML>I post on a Friday night becuase I am unemployed AND the blimmin' DHSS has not yet made up what passes for its' collective mind whether they need to give me any money or not. Plockin' gyets.
The fforum is the nearest I get to having legal fun with like-minded folk since the Great Spaggetti Incident. Which turned out not to be either, eventually.
That's Staffordshire for you.</HTML>

<HTML>Er, does this mean we're not legal, or we're not fun? Neither particularly appeals. Although having been arrested twice whilst having fun, maybe the first of these isn't so bad...</HTML>

<HTML>The fforum is both legal and fun. And has like minded people on it. 3 out of 3!!
"The Great Spaghetti Incident" was only fun with like minded people, much to my surprise. Only 2 out of 3, oooooops!
Things so often are not fun, or not legal, or no like-minded people can be found..............
I blame the aliens.</HTML>

<HTML>now a thread title like that is like putting a big red button somewhere marked 'Do Not Press This Button'
I have managed to avoid clicking on any links though.
It's odd though. I was there when eddie popped out, saw the whole thing and didn't feel even remotely faint. Cut my own finger though, and I'm out for the count.</HTML>

<HTML>It's because humans cannot calculate anegative first - if you say 'Don't click this' then your mind reads it as 'click this' - the action - and then 'don't'. You can't negate it, without having thought about the action first. Therefore you do the opposite.
As a test, I want you all to try not to imagine orange dodos.</HTML>

<HTML>Curiosity stirs, here- PSD- for what were you arrested twice???
And when you say orange, do you mean in colour or flavour???</HTML>

<HTML>Thanks, Ben. I now have this strange image of dodos marching up the Shankhill Road, each in a bowler hat, singing The Sash and shouting "No Surrender! Plock!"</HTML>

<HTML>i refuse to say why i've been arrested - it's between me, the olice and the sheep...
Actually it wasn't. although I've never been charged with anything, so I figure it can't have been that bad. Although my Polish wasn't really up to working out why I'd been arrested the first time</HTML>
