I ate some GIF’s and they did not mix well with my JPG’s and BMP’s, so my hard drive crashed in the middle of the night.

Shame on you.

I was awoken yesterday by the desperate need to download a screensaver of the movie JA//S, you know, the bit where Roy Scheider says something to the effect of " We need a bigger boat, right?"  
And while I was awake I also visited the toilet and released a big shit into the world.

Later on that night I awoke again with an urge to roll my own massive cigar, so I did, and I smoked it whilst on the toilet releasing another massive jobby again funny thing was I also passed a Windows OS floppy disc, it must have stuck to the bottom of a pizza I ate earlier.

mp3 file sharing - not sure.

Personal consumption (but it’s legal if it’s your own product isn’t it?) - yes. There have been threads on here about people doing it for “health” reasons, IIRC.

Also, **MPEG peer-to-peer sharing has happened** , for medical reasons. Can’t for the life of me find a link, but it’s been used to restore the proper variety of bowel flora and fauna to the intestines of people who’ve had their own flora and fauna knocked out by strong antibiotics.

Similar to baby koalas eating their mothers’ droppings to get the right bacteria in their own bowels to be able to digest eucalypt.

OK, now I’m picturing a big roll of masking tape covered in poo.

(and trying very hard to get my mind to move on)

Hey kids, let’s perform an experiment. Take two baggies. Fill one with pee and the other with poop. Close them and then squeeae them. See how the poop comresses but the pee does not compress.

That means that when you are full up with both, you can compress your poop for a while, whereas you have to pee right away.

OK, experiment over. You can clean up after the two burst baggies now.

Please don’t run with pencils or compress your poo. Both are very good ways to put someone’s eye out.
