[edit] cover story

- I nominate this since it's hilarious. human indefensible turds on the cheap! 14:14, 12 February 2008 (EST)
- No - it's brilliant, but not Cover Story, I don't think. Though I could be convinced. DogP 21:20, 2 April 2008 (EDT)
[edit] Doubt about the introduction
In the introduction we say: "Little Person" instead of "Midget". I thought the politically correct terms were either "Porg" (person of restricted growth) or "vertically challenged". Have I been unwittingly insulting them all my PC correct life?--Bobbing up 04:50, 3 April 2008 (EDT)
- According to a journalist friend of mine who interviewed a well-known Little Person actor, that is the 'correct' term, yes - he was informed so by the PR people. DogP 11:58, 3 April 2008 (EDT)
[edit] Metric system
Does anyone here realize that by using pounds and inches they are using the metric system indirectly? Or maybe there aresome non-metric measures not defined against the kilogram, meter or second? Ha.
Ha yourself! Everybody here in England knows that the standard unit of length is the ELL; the distance between the reigning Monarch's wrist and his elbow. None of those Frenchy kilograms for us when we're measuring things. Furthermore, I'm thinking of starting a campaign to measure speed in terms of Ells/Sennight. That will stop those PC jonnies in their tracks!!Betsynewson 12:25, 23 July 2008 (EDT)
Ha yourself!
[edit] Silly CP
I'm just a random walker by, but this just TOO silly. what a lot of non-issues!
- Calling it "SI" which I think is some French thing, instead of the Metric System
- Using Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) unless one is actually in England
- Calling it "UTC" (Universales Temps Coordinaire or some such French abomination) instead of GMT
These are actually politically incorrect because they are so ultimately ignorant. The presumption which they were based on (i.e. everything outside the states is England) are so retarded. Which is why it's funny I guess. And France isn't part of the civilized world, so there. 77.110.12.110 16:19, 27 October 2008 (EDT)
