| 217947 | 2004-02-25 09:21:00 | Okay folks: Loved the logic, learned some new ideas, baffled beetle (sorry beetle, it was just a touch of whimsy to celebrate 2500 different ways to waste time when I should be working) and created a mild stir of interest in string lovers everywhere. Drum roll.............................................. ..... And the winner is................................................ .. TonyF (second on the list) for the undeniable, millimetre perfect, incontrovertable answer: Exactly twice the distance from the middle to one end. You are a man after my own heart Tony.:D Runner up.................... Mark P for speaking out on behalf of the longitudinally challenged everywhere. Cheers Billy 8-{) :) And I've won a few bets with that one ]:) |

| 217952 | 2004-02-25 10:13:00 | Ok so ive missed something here? BT had you canned your WFTWE? postings? and yes Mummy, after school, maybe if i live that long . . . . . and are you sick? sore throat????? dont know anything about printers? or word progs do you????? :p just sinking in the abyss of 100 meters of very dusty carpet, having the end of my house wall ripped off for renovations and no bathroom does not help life . and having a child have his finger jammed in the door, which is now quite black is heartwrenching . . . . . and my hay fever is or was shocking, recovering well, but the temperament took a beating lately, due to things beyond my control . . . . give me a few days and ill be back on top of the heap like normal . . . :p beetle |

| 217953 | 2004-02-25 12:39:00 | > So How long is a peice of string? is as good as how > do you get green grass to become white milk????? And I had foolishly assumed for too many years that a British Standard String had a length in cubits, exactly 1 pi'th of it's circumference in Farads/K. And now I find it's not. It was bad enough getting my grandmother's string stock converted to metric. The grass problem is easier, to an "n" hectare green wire-enclosed bit, add "x" variably coloured methane generators, subtract the red meat-flavoured bits and the gooey brown bits, and you have the white liquid bit. Note this only applies with certain methane generators. If in doubt, re-install the OS |
