I actually know the serious answer to this but in my quest to become a better person I am endeavoring to better recognize the so called rhetorical question.

But just in case I'll point you to this recap of the history. (Short answer -- I JUST CAN'T HELP MYSELF!! -- is that the ASCII standard only had room for 128 characters and needed to include some things not on an old typewriter keyboard, so some things just had to be dropped; the standard was done by engineers for whom ~ and ^ are much more important than ¢)

I think that that's an interesting article.

Of course, I got distracted by the Simpsons art. Is it art?

While I was talking to someone face to face, he ended our conversation by saying "brb". Lame!

My salad for lunch has too many things in it. Roma tomatoes, regular tomatoes, cucumbers, grass looking veggies that are spicy, carrot slivers, cheese, egg parts, chicken, iceberg lettuce and baby greens... too complicated.

If you are using Word, just type /c while holding down the Ctrl key.

I knew what you meant by lettuce bones.

Why did the girl at Coffee Bean make my drink in a disposable cup and POUR it into my personal mug??? She knows how much stuff goes into a drink. The only difference is that my cup is slightly larger than their large. How about the point of bringing my cup is not to WASTE one???

Only once, for a play. But my hair is black black black...
Funny thing is is that is used to be dark brown. Then I shaved my head just to see what it was like. And it grew back black.

Ooh, shave it again, maybe it'll come out purple! (no, not really)
