I beg to differ. At least it's possible to turn Kriss Kross off.

Has anyone ever tried turning Uncle Heavy off? It might work. Or then again, it might have terrible, unforeseen ramifications.

Unfortunate use of the word 'ramifications' there, I feel.

I've never heard of Kriss Kross before but I still found the sound of them a lot more disturbing than Uncle Heavy's comments.

I've heard that some once pointed out to Churchill that his fly was open. To which he replied "No worry. Old birds never fall far from the nest."
Can't quite decide whether thats actually funny or not.

Bit disturbing really.
But I want to know : was the zip fixed or not?

My zip?
No.
But I am currently sat with a laptop on my groinal regions, so it's not a problem right now.

Err... you did here the story about the man who got a very painful burn doing that, didn't you?

No - was it a heat burn, or a radiation burn.

Heat, I believe. I'll go and see if I can find the story.

Well, the reports reference a letter in The Lancet. And such a letter exsist on http://www.thelancet.com though you've got to register to be able to read it, and the letter uses suitably medical language. So I'm inclined to believe it is true.
I would copy it here, but I think that might break copyright, so I'm loathe to.

Safety pins near the crotch are always a little scary... I found a cool new invention online called ZipperAde that works great for me. No more safety pins, rubber bands, teist ties, etc... It works perfectly, and was really cheap. Check it out.
