well no sh*t sherlock!
What makes that really stupid is that after you've sprayed yourself in the eyes, you can't then read the can to find out what to do.

About the Pluto debate: A planet is now considered to have had to have cleared it's orbital path of debris (for which it must be fairly large), which Pluto has not done, so it's now considered too small to be a planet.

Part of the reason this was done is that a huge number of other orbital masses of spherical structure have been discovered, and are somewhat larger than Pluto.
Keeping Pluto would require that the Solar system was redefined as having about 12 planets - which is far too complex for little kiddies to learn.

What pisses me off is tourist. Im from Florida and thats all we get. And during the winter all the snow birds come down and alot of them are dumb founded by the littlest things. One example is someone flipped there sail boat and they were in a group of them. So all the tourist stood at the beach side going "oh my god should we call the life gaurds" and "Are they going to be okay, are they hurt". I dont know about you guys but that ticks me off I just want to tell them to keep moving nothing big happened because it happens so much.

Have I said this yet?
I hate it when people call their air/combustion arm a “sniper” a sniper is a person, not a thing!

It annoys me if someone calls their spudgun a rifle and someone says It's not a rifle unless you rifle the barrel.

Also i hate cereal comercials.

Bad TV hosts really get me mad. :violent3:

I've said it elsewhere, but I'm personally more annoyed at the term "gun". A gun is really a giant artillery peice mounted on a stand or vehicle, so other than a few rare exceptions (The S.W.A.T. gun, for instance might reasonably qualify), saying "gun" is just as inaccurate - and it happens very much more often.

the giant artillery peice is called a cannon. basically, if your spudgun has a larger bore than a 1inch barrel, it is a cannon. anything smaller is a gun. thus, if you make a "rifle" gun (meaning its parts layout, NOT the barrel rifling) it is a gun, but if it shoots tennis bals, its a cannon.

also, i looked into how rifling works, and it seems as if that if i dumped a god enough amount of money into it i could mae myself a rifling machine simmilar to the spudtech one. i could rifle smaller peices of pipe though......... ill do it when im old enough to start an internet buissnes. im pretty sure that now that spudtech is gone, rifled PVC pipe may become a prophitable venture. especially in sizes going all the way down to 1/2 inch CPVC (exactly .50 cal) all the way up to 4 inch, just so that the SWAT gun can be THAT much cooler. i also might try rifling copper pipe. im thinking that i could cut grooves on the outside and then slide the chopped up peice of copper pipe into a peice of tubing that fit it nice. therefore, the grooves are cut and THEN placed inside the barrel. should be cool. (accurate AA battery rifle?)

And scince i have to put something i hate, i hate it when your school says youre gonna have a snow day, and then you dont. it makes your day SOOO much longer.

Having a smoking section in a restaurant is like having a peeing section in a pool.
