I am going to buy a Fender Classic Player Jazzmaster and put vinyl knife decals on it so that I'm sure the tone really cuts through the mix during solos.

--- Quote from: KvP on 25 Jan 2009, 18:38 ---Today I learned about the "super worm" that can spread through USB thumb drives. The IT guys I work with freaked out a bit when they first heard of it, but it only apparently attacks instances of Windows that are not fully patched. Which worries me, as my cracked version of Pro can't go beyond SP2.

I got that email last week, and it didn't bother me. GMER and the fact that I have Autoplay turned off.

Last week I saw the phrase "dulce et decorum" on, I think, these fora. It recalled that I'd seen the phrase in Heinlein's The Moon is a Harsh Mistress and that I'd always meant to look the phrase up. So I learned (last week) that the full phrase is:
--- Quote from: Horace ---Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori,
sed dulcius pro patria vivere,
et dulcissimum pro patria bibere.
Ergo, bibamus pro salute patriae.

Horace was a Roman poet of the first century BC. Roughly translated, the poetry (from his Odes) means:
--- Quote ---It is sweet and fitting to die for one's homeland,
but sweeter to live for it,
and sweetest to drink for it.
Therefor let us drink to the health of our homeland.
--- End quote ---
He was a quotable dude. That was a popular toast in the 19th century and it's my toast now.
Nunc est bibendum!

Today I learned that, on the 25th of November 1215, King John asked his justiciars to send him "forty of the fattest pigs, of the sort least good for eating" so that he could break into Rochester Castle.
Thank you, OKCupid!
Someone linked a picture of someone being a dickhead in some sort of message from that site, and I decided to try and find him, then I got distracted by other people, and I found that quote. Procrastination is awesome.

It takes 12 pounds of pressure to break your clavicle.
