> [@Noone\_Special](#): > > \*\*Haze \*\*-- all kinds of country lists tend to have Israel on them in a haphazard way, too. Doesn’t make us (or you) non-existent, just makes the provider look like a jack-ass. 😛 It just annoys me because the idiot who did that drop down menu obviously got it mixed up and picked “Democratic People’s Republic of Korea” because it “sounds” like they are the good guys. Sheer ignorance. ---

Forgot this last night:\*\* Nava\*\*–that really sucks. But reading about SIL made me laugh. Then again, THINK what it would have been like to work for those people. :eek: Bullet dodged indeed. Phew! I am now officially late for work. Yup–irresponsible of me, but ask me if I care. ---

Sheer ignorance. Or, as someone suggested in your other thread, maybe it’s a April Fool’s prank – most likely by someone in the DB Maintenance dept. But yeah, your idea sounds about right. “Lesseeeeee… Republic of Korea… Democratic People’s Republic of Korea… Hmmmm… I’m gonna bet the one that says ‘Democratic’ in it’s name is the democratic one…” :rolleyes: > [@kopek](#): > > I volunteer to have the celebratory beers for all our Jewish Mumpers ------ in the spirit of cross-ecumenical helpfulness and all, of course. 🙂 As somebody who recently got back from an Incredibly Long Lunch Break which included pork, cheese and some yummy fresh-from-the-oven, baked-on-the-premises rolls… Try snagging some **other** Jew’s beer! 😛 ---
