Now wait just a cotton pickin' minute, we all know that AL GORE invented the internet!! FOFLMAO... Sorry, I just couildn't resist. Too much jibjab.com. LC [quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by M.W. Hemphill Kevin, I'll probably get in trouble for saying this, but if you look very carefully, you'll see that every time you post you get one star, but I get one too, and Andrew gets three (it's the Canadian rule). But wait! You're wondering why the Canadian Rule doesn't apply to you, too. That's because it also depends on time zone. Stars are not part of the space-time continuum (ask Zardoz to explain). Andrew lives to the west of you, so when you post, not all of the stars accrue directly to you, but are left stranded in the ethernet and float in place. As the world turns away from them, they become fastened to the first spam filter they find, which happens to be Andrew's. Now, if you moved to the Maritimes, you'd find that you'd get the same benefit of planetary rotation, but only if you travelled around the globe to the west to get there (via China). Otherwise, as you moved east, some of your existing stars would come unstuck and wobble westward and become Andrew's, thanks to the Coriolis Force. Unfortunately for us south of the 42-40 line, we have to earn our stars the old-fashioned way, one at a time. It was originally thought that Canadians gaining extra stars was a phenomenon of the Van Allen radiation belt, but in truth it was a little-known codicil of the XXX Beaver Felt Hat Treaty of Okotoks, Alberta of 1892, which anticipated the Internet long before two grad students at U of I Urbana (my alma mater, thank you), invented it, and decreed that should stars ever be earned, that Canadians would enjoy and be the beneficial recipient of them 3 for 1, in exchange for four 1992 Norfolk Southern calendars, a two-pound can of coffee, a broken knuckle, and an unused pencil said to have been found under Collis P. Huntington's desk on Park Avenue, NYC. [/quote]
