There was an old Giant's fan with really crappy seats at Giants Stadium. Looking with his binoculars, he spotted a plush empty seat on the 50-yard line. Thinking to himself "what a waste" he made his way down the stadium steps.
When he finally arrived at the seat, he asked the man sitting next to it, "Is this seat taken?"
The man replied, "This was my wife's seat. She passed away. She was a big Giant's fan."
The Giant's fan replied,” I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. May I ask why you didn't give the ticket to a friend or a relative?"
I apologize that the forums we're down. I was doing some security updates and didn't realize that the coding affected the forums. At any rate, the forums are now fixed. Expect some additional new things within the week...

It has been scientifically proven that if we drink 1 liter of water each day, at the end of the year we would have absorbed more than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria found in feces. In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of poop. However, we do not run that risk when drinking wine (or rum, whiskey, beer or other liquor) because alcohol has to go through a purification process of boiling, filtering and/or fermenting.
Code:
WATER = POOP
WINE = HEALTH
Moral: It is better to drink wine and talk stupid than to drink water and be full of crap.
