Nice One, mikmik will love the Earth and Moon link. What he's saying is already happening, not in terms of numbers of IT users, but in the literacy thing. I recently joined a small UK forum, and it was nothing but text talk, and yes it will explode, it's bound to, pure common sense, one morning we will arrive at our desks to find Google down, MSN down and all the youngsters will not know what to do 'Man I carnt text mi mate' and that's him talking.

"You know, there are many people in the country today who, through no fault of their own, are sane. Some of them were born sane. Some of them became sane later in their lives. It is up to people like you and me who are out of our tiny little minds to try and help these people overcome their sanity. You can start in small ways with ping-pong ball eyes and a funny voice and then you can paint half of your body red and the other half green and then you can jump up and down in a bowl of treacle going 'squawk, squawk, squawk...' And then you can go 'Neurhhh! Neurhh!' and then you can roll around on the floor going 'pting pting pting' ... "

Who dared question my sanity?
I'll squidge him or her with my loafers, providing I can find them in the bath.
I am a sane as the next person, and the next person to me is my wife ratbag, you are sane aren't you my dear. Poor love is on her third bottle of gin today, she's drooling, and finding it difficult to keep her ice skate boots on. Madness in Lincolnshire comes from inbreeding and if that sheep moves once more its in the pot with it!
Ah, I remember the winter of 1876, God it was cold, where was I?
