That "rule" was obviously made by a woman.

>Oh, and you *never* ever had any use for a toilet seat down, really?

The irony here is that, like many things, I was actually brought up to put
the seat down and I do it without thinking.  I also put the lid down, which
my wife had to un-train me to do.  She gets up about 8 times a night to pee
and needs the lid to be up so she doesn't sit on it and try and piss.  I
solved the whole issue by designating the master bathroom as 'hers' and the
hall bathroom as 'his.'

seat is down (what, men don't ever have to "sit down" in the middle of the
night?), you deserve to fall  in.

You'd be surprised...it's happened to me before. Nobody ever said humanity
was at its' sharpest during the wee hours of the night. ;-)

LOL...this is true.

But...nobody ever said it made 100% sense. Them's just the way things is.

        While this is now SERIOUSLY offtopic, I need to make one
observation: I _sit_ on the can maybe once a day, but I **ALWAYS** check if
the lid is down and dry.  No matter HOW drunk I've been, I STILL haven't
fallen in.  Why can't women check, too?  How many times a day do THEY sit on
the can?

performed even while on a ship in the Navy])

>That's a good system. Tough, but fair.

    Our household follows the "leapfrog" principle: I get the faster
computer this time, she'll get the faster CD, then I'll get a faster video
card, then she'll get 4-speaker sound, etc.

    If we waited to save up enough for BOTH of us to upgrade we'd still have
P-133's! lol.  Now we have 4 computers between us, and I'm building up one
for my stepdaughter out of leftover parts, too.  It's her Xmas present.

    Nightsky, the reasons games are getting larger are sometimes obvious
(all those images of airplanes and 3D cars, stadiums and opponents takes a
LOT of space) and sometimes not (we are slowly, constantly whining about
having just "one more feature" added).  But the latency of a CD-ROM is still
around 100ms even for a 52X.  That's about as slow as a floppy drive.  While
installing a game, all the files are sequential so it's pretty quick, but
once it's running, the game needs to randomly access files which would take
FOREVER on a CD-ROM drive.  If you're worried about space, get an Orb (2.1GB
removable for $39 and 12ms access).

    That's a GREAT idea for those "1-Computer Households."  I solved it by
handing my then-girlfriend (now wife) the parts and making her build her
own.  She learned a lot and asks fewer questions that way.

The secret to a happy marriage?
Separate bathrooms!
Oh, and a wife that likes auto racing :-).

This works for me and my wife, too.  It also has allowed me to build a
pretty nice Linux system (through the trickle down effect) that I want to
throw games onto now.

..and that women are complete idiots.  If you can't handle
making sure the seat is down (what, men don't ever have to
"sit down" in the middle of the night?), you deserve to fall
in.

experienced anyone falling into the toilet)

Works well, i guess, if you don't mind having all those extra computer parts
around.
