    Sorry guys, I know what cs is! (over here, we play the terrorists though.. is that 'unpopular' to do in the USA??) anyway yeh, sorry... the 'military use' was a lame attempt at humour.
    Hey, I got it!

    We Americans have had too much "sensitivity" training, and humor was one of the casualties. I'm always surprised at the ethnic humor I see elsewhere ... I was in Ireland a year ago and was surprised at the joking about stereotypes about Germans and the Spanish. That just wouldn't be appreciated here. Its a shame, because humor, especially sarcasm, is a wonderful way to make a point in a light hearted way.

      I hear you on that one Frank, why just the other day I was watching "The Germans" episode of Fawlty Towers and had to turn it off due to it's offensive nature. <g>

        I'm still stuck on UT2003/2004 (in a Sniper Clan) and now (thanks to my boss) Runescape (www.runescape.com) yes, it doesnt have the high end graphics or such, but its fun to play, to level up and such. Its free to play, or $5 will get you some extras (Ive been paying for 2 months now - damn the boss, damn him, cuz Im hooked now ).

          Very funny show ... so funny, that I'm sure if I watched it in the office it would generate at least three complaints to our "Human Resources" department. Always wondered about that department title, is it "resources" as in "let's exploit these natural resources?"
