Sounds like a job for scissors. . . and don't forget the spatula.

GeorginaS: Interesting... the frog dies before you dissect, otherwise it's vivisection. To dissect, you still have to kill the frog first. Your mind works in interesting ways. ;)

Wow, I'm going to have to bust out Dave's line about jokes and dissecting frogs.

A joke GeroginaS, it was a joke. Hmmmm, maybe this thread is humor-cursed. That, or my jokes suck eggs.

Wow. We definitely need to start deploying more smilie faces around here, I'm thinking. I've only just got the hang of Dave's sense of humour sans winky faces. I'll keep your name in mind too, mismaratwork. :smile:

Hm. If humour is my default state, maybe what I need is an emoticon for when I'm being serious. :serious:
No wait. I'm not being serious, so :smile:
No. I don't need the smiley. Damn.

What is wrong with you people?! COKE AND PEPSI TASTE THE SAME! It's probably made by the same company as well

They taste the same to me as well. People always try to explain the difference, yet their explanations are always different. Some explain it in a way that doesn't even make sense. I had someone tell me Pepsi tasted more gamy.
And I love it when people are utterly flabbergasted when they hear you think they taste the same. They go on to explain it's like night and day, only more opposite than even that.
I once said Spanish and Portuguese were similar languages and that made some people flip out. Apparently if you take the two most opposite things in the world, they're not even close to being near the oppositeness of Spanish and Portuguese. At least according to those people I was talking to.

Pepsi is slightly sweeter than coke and that's about it.

If they taste the same, surely there wouldn't be myriads of people religiously claiming that there's a difference! :!):wink::mad::rolleyes::biggrin::confused: :smile::frown::bugeye:
