Y’know, there’s nothing quite so amusing as someone who believes he’s dicking with several people, when in fact they’re doing nothing more than laughing at him.

_Hummingbirds lay the smallest eggs of any birds–their egg is no bigger than a jelly bean! The largest egg comes from the ostrich–an ostrich egg is bigger than a grapefruit and weighs as much as two dozen chicken eggs! A newly laid turtle egg is about the size of a ping-pong ball._

That’s all I got.

Contrapuntal, it was between those two. I just went looking for it, and belive me, it’s not easy for me - click on his name, click on read all posts, and then try to find it. I can’t find it. It was titled something like “Giraffe is the best Pit moderator ever” and it seems to have mysteriously disappeared. _looks :dubious: at Giraffe_

The System just contacted me, Spooky, and it wants me to tell you it is SERIOUSLY pissed off at you. You’ve already said way too much, and it said you better just quit posting on this board entirely if you know what’s good for you.
