    Can't see it myself. Surely adding big chunks of metal will make it even

  3. Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, platypus
    Depends on the application method. Apparently in some circumstances
    vigorous application of armco can make them autonomous.

    Well, obviously, but that's not scary. It's a perfectly well understood

    Its well known that sidecars are a tool of satan, hence thier

    The slow black one, err, which slow black one. The slow silver one or
    the fast silver one. The fast blue one.

    All these terms have been variously used in my household.

  10. We call the GPS in the SOC Margo as in Margo Ledbetter in 'The Good
    Life'.

    Absolutely no sense of humour.
