Yeah. Didn't they invent Blueberry-flavored ones just for him, or something?

I'm surprised they didn't come up with a Black Cockerel-flavored one.

How the hell can you replicate the taste of a thousand out of tune violins playing flight of the bummblebee in the key of D minus while underwater and bathed in a pool of fresh cow tounge? That's just too scary to even think about.

Those clever science guys at Jelly Belly can replicate just about _any_ flavor. I saw a packet of them once that was labelled "5 new flavors: Laws of the Iroquois Nation, That Feeling You Get When You Go In The Kitchen and Can't Remember What You Wanted, Chocolate-Covered Senate Judiciary Sub-Committee, Batter-Fried Helium, and Youthful Idealism".

The Chocolate-Covered Senate Judiciary Sub-Committee ones were kinda nasty.

I totally agree & where would the National Health Service be without all the taxes we pay!!!!!!.....

Wow! What a find... can you hook me up with some Youthful Idealism? I really need a fix.

Well, I warn you, they just _taste_ like Youthful Idealism. For the actual article, you'll want to talk to your local smack dealer.

I'd Just like to say that I choose not to smoke as a protest to all those tobacco company executives
that are lining their pockets at the expense of the ordinary individual. I choose instead to line the
pockets of all those executives that head up the large alcohol producing conglomerates. Which is
why I don't go about saying to others to stop smoking because they are just choosing to line the
pockets of the companies that are providing the hook that keeps them in the habit. Mind you I don't
mind the odd cigar now and again as it goes mighty well with a good port or scotch...

Just putting in my couple of cents worth.

Cheers,

Sir Head

Thank-you there for bringing forth the point that everyone has there own choice and just because it is not the same as everyone elses does not make it wrong. we all have our own vices to live with that is what makes us human after all.

Oh crap I just ran out of cigs and it's 3 AM.
I guess it's just nature's way of telling me to go to bed.

What makes us human is the fact that we've all got 23 chromosomes. What makes us daft is the fact that we don't live in trees any more and that we choose to judge our success by the amount of small green pieces of paper to which we have access and not on the amount of smaller tree-dwelling beasties in the world that share 50% of our genes.

46 chromozomes, actually. You get 23 from your mother and 23 from your father.

23 pairs, then, except for the x and y bits which are an imperfect pair. In the male. You know what I meant. What's the other name for a: trisomy 21 and b: trisomy 13? How many -ploid is triticum aestivum? Which is the only truly diploid virus?
