24984 BTW, watch out for insane and/or unusual odd gifts, everyone. For example, the scary or hard kind. I don't think the Snake in the 2014/12/25 B.C. Comic @ http://www.gocomics.com/bc/2014/12/25 was thinking properly when they gave that item! :uhh: :ohnoes: :boohoo: ~D. V. "Hmm... Perhaps one hit to the head too many?" Devnull

70 BTW, is it just me, or has the internet become one of those places that can cause exactly what the 2014/12/25 Graffiti Comic @ http://www.gocomics.com/graffiti/2014/12/25 suggests you should do to yourself? I'm not sure it's a good thing to have that going on inside oneself, unless you really want to look a bit weird with repeatedly talking to yourself periodically. :( ~D. V. "Heck, I think my siggy's an unfixed artifact of that." Devnull

Oh... What's that traditional one? Ah, right... HO! HO! HO! Merry Christmas, to one and all!! (Happy Holidays, for those that one doesn't fit!) ~D. V. "I'll figure out something better, one of these years." Devnull (p.s.: Glad to see someone fixed that word filter!)

24995 Don't worry about it. As I noted, some cultures prefer the other character, and I found it interesting to be reminded of this. :D ~D. V. "Re-learning helps sometimes." Devnull

24997 Interesting... I almost forgot that some cultures use '.' instead of ',' for their thousands/millions/billions/etc. indication. :huh: ~D. V. "Also, checking how 18-point-bold shows up right now." Devnull

@MuffinMaddy, one other thing to go check... For Internet Explorer -- Control Panel > Internet Options > Connections > LAN Settings For Mozilla FireFox -- Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Connection Settings ...and make sure everything there is unchecked and disabled for Internet Explorer, or simply set to "No Proxy" for Mozilla FireFox, UNLESS you have a special proxy server that you need to use. That will help put you one more step in the direction of defeating crap that may have tried to redirect your connections. Hopefully someone else can tell you how to check for that issue in Google Chrome and other browsers, as I don't know how to handle those ones for proxy server issues. Also, get yourself Adblock Plus for Mozilla FireFox and Google Chrome (also for Internet Explorer, provided you have version 8 or higher of that) if you haven't already. Make sure with that to at least use a high-reputation community subscription in it, such as EasyList, to help block many of the possible threats that could attack through those browsers. (Or try making filters to block crud yourself... It's honestly up to you.) It's been my experience that better safe than sorry is the best approach to wandering the internet. ~Mr. D. V.

25013 In the land of B.C., look out below! Well... at least that's what the Ant would have done if it could have seen this coming. :o :arrow: http://www.gocomics.com/bc/2014/12/19 ~D. V. "CHOMP!" Devnull

32*7 = 63 :smile: BTW, ever heard of extreme land catwalks? I think the Wizard Of Id just found one. :twss: :arrow: http://www.gocomics.com/wizardofid/2014/12/18 ~D. V. "Watch your step!" Devnull

Stunning... simply stunning. I think I'll watch this thread for a bit, then move along. :o ~D. V. "I never saw this coming." Devnull

61 The only thing annoying me is that I meant it one way, and you're taking it in a totally different way! :angry: (...and then it struck me... you're having fun trolling me, aren't you? <_< ...) ~D. V. "...just can't figure you out right now..." Devnull

25017 ~D. V. Devnull

59 Uhm... excuse me... but, WHAT SMIRK?!?!? I was winking in a serious tone! :blink: ~D. V. "HUH?!?!?" Devnull

Granted, but you accidentally step through a fire, and find out it now has another effect. Your clothes are now lit on fire, causing you to start losing 5 points of hp per 3 seconds, forcing you to grab a bucket and run to a lake, other fresh water body, or even a mere kitchen sink because salt water won't work. This of course causes you to lose a whole lot of time you didn't wish to lose by the time you fill a bucket and drench the fire off of yourself, destroys a fair chunk of your hp, and leaves your clothes looking all scorched and dark. Enjoy looking like hell. :twisted: Let's wish for something really funny to happen now that doesn't result in harm/death to anyone. :pray: ~D. V. "Me and my long corruptions... Ugh." Devnull

25033 I just found out about a new hobby of young dragons... 'Scaring Hobbits & playing Fetch with them'... View "Wizard Of Id", 20141216 @ http://www.gocomics.com/wizardofid/2014/12/16 for the visual. :) ~D. V. "green, scaly, and waiting for someone to toss a small cannonball" Devnull
