We have a substitute (butter) my son likes that is called 'I Can't Believe it's Not Butter.'

The weird thing is we are just not able to shorten the name. I don't know why I just can't say 'margarine' or whatever, but I can't! It is very strange and I suspect Goliath intervention.

Pretty funny yelling down the hall in the mornings 'do you want Can't-Believe-It's-Not or butter on your toast?'

It would be on-topic.

System.out.print(int(math.random()*100));

<on topic>
Martin, if you needed a random number, you could have just used 4. It's been mathematically proven to be quite random, and saves you having to convert from a double to an int.

Was told today by a manager to play nice with the Mexicans we have in at work. Told manager I always play nice with the strangers, it's the ba****** that know me that I I'm a ba***** with.

He didn't take that too well.
