This year has been a very informative time for me from all the educational and informative post that I have read on Foo!

Listed below are a few of the more life changing ones.

Thanks for whoever posted the one about using poop in the glue on envelopes, because now I have to use a wet towel to seal them with.

Ditto for having to clean all the tops of soda pop cans.

I no longer have any life savings because I sent it all to help cure Penny Brown who is in the hospital dying for 12,000 time.

I no longer have any money at all but will be in the chips once I receive my inheritance money from Dr. John Mombasa of Nigeria from an unknown uncle of mine who died in a recent airplane crash.

I no longer have to worry about my soul or eternal salvation because I have 364,243 angels looking out after me, and also St. Teresa's novena has granted me my every wish.

I no longer eat at KFC because their chickens are mutant freaks with no eyes or feathers.

I no longer use cancer causing deodorants even though I smell like a water buffalo on a hot day.

Thanks to Foo I have learned that my prayer requests will not be answered unless I forward the email to 7 friends within 30 minutes.

I have learned that it is not permissible to make love to your bicycle without benefit of clergy.

And thanks for letting me know I cant boil a cup of water in the microwave because it will blow up disfiguring my face for life.

I no longer can buy gasoline unless I take some one along to watch the car so a serial killer doesn't hide in the back seat.

I no longer receive packages from Fed Ex or UPS as they are really Al Qaeda in disguise.

I learned that Canadians actually speak English too, even though I cant understand them.

Thanks to Foo I can no longer use any toilet other than my own, because a big brown African spider is lurking under the lid waiting to bite my butt causing instant and a painful death.

I no longer shop at Target as they are French and dont support our American Troops or the Salvation Army.

A German scientist discovered after a lengthy study that people with insufficent brain activity read their email with their hand on the mouse...Dont bother to take it off now, it's too late.

Every one post a reply with what wonderful or strange thing they learned from Foo this year!

Merry Christmas...The King Fisher

HawkGirl's 'Camping Rule' for car tidiness is something I practiced nearly 100% of the time.

Really? I heard they were bred as fillets - with no bones.

And thanks for letting me know I cant boil a cup of water in the microwave because it will blow up disfiguring my face for life.

Actually that's true. Pure - that is distilled water - can be heated to around 120C before it boils. So say it's at 110C, introduce an impurity - bit of sugar, teaspoon - it will boil instantly, thus erupting out of the mug.

They did it on Mythbusters.

Thanks to Foo I can no longer use any toilet other than my own, because a big brown African spider is lurking under the lid waiting to bite my butt causing instant and a painful death.

And I learnt that some people just have far too much time on their hands - ref 'SatLav'.

On top of all this....
I learnt that dogs will actually bark...
Sausage flavour ice cream doesn't seem to be a very popular idea however jalepeno ice cream would be fine...
I shouldn't kiss my girlfriend incase I get lead poisoning...
We can have a 24 post thread about toast, but real-world threads are lucky to make 10...
Sem4u is 30...

...and we all spend far too much time on Foo!

I have had chilli flavour ice cream over here and it does taste pretty good. Very unusual though, as it is hot and cold at the same time.

to carry on:

I learnt that nearly everything was invented in Scotland.... ;-)

At least according to one of our highly respected senior members.

You mean you actually read one of those emails?! ;-)

Foo also taught me to filter.....

Even better!
I do actually now someone who stept into this trap. And I can tell you : the 'paper' remained black. It was so sad for this (poor) man, but.. yes I had to laugh with it (afterwards).
I could not believe before this happened that someone really could fall into this kind of traps...but yes, they exist!

I learned that if you swear at an automated phone system you may be transferred immediately to a live phone operator (and usually a very polite and patient one at that) ...

[webmasterworld.com...] (see post 3330099)

I've tried this several times since then on various systems - works like a charm. Many thanks to lgn1 for sharing that!

Lipik, I can't stop but think that 'someone' could be you :) kidding

BUT in reality:
These days every achievement begins with "I"
Almost every loser's sentence begins "someone", "s/he"

Have I been getting info from the wrong source? :)
