Well Max, you kept throwing money at me! What was I supposed to do? 😉

Didn’t need much smooth talking after that.

Democ: You need more than that. You would need to access a database of every song written there is :). Mostly because the lyrics I spout are probably from songs 99%of you have not even heard :). Well anyway, the chat is a blast. Soooo fun. I’m hooked! In fact as I type I’m in there right now. Come to IRC…it will beckon and call to you!

> No, you access this one with mIRC. It’s on the server “underworld” (Washington DC ?), then choose the “#straightdope” channel.

Yes, it is the same chat room. If you have mIRC or virc or pirch or ircle or homer or any other irc client, you can use any undernet server to get in, or you can use the chat page on the Teeming Millions Homepage, which has a java-based IRC client. The channel name is #straightdope

You can download mIRC (the most popular irc client) at [http://www.mirc.com](http://www.mirc.com)  
You can get to the chat room via the TMHP at [http://fathom.org/teemingmillions/chat.adp](http://fathom.org/teemingmillions/chat.adp)

There are usually people in there, even in the middle of the night.
