Maybe dangerous for monkeys... myself, I generally read the label of products before I consider eating them and typically don't eat just any old thing I find lying around that fits in my mouth and tastes okay.

I'm not sure where you're going with that statement, but it does say in the article that the fruit is perfectly harmless to eat.

the only other thing i can think of is importing from Aus using an express method.

the time from planting to fruiting is around 5 years, so if you could import the actual plant you'd save a hell of a lot of work.

Yeah, it's going to cost a bit - packaging and delivery is pretty expensive and the seeds are US$1 each. But, once under way I can see a market providing the fruit to bars for cocktails and what not.

hmm.. whats better, new age Realtek hd audio onboard.. or old skool creative 5.1 live platinum.

I've still got my old soundcard from before I upgraded to my present PC, but never put it in. I've been working with onboard since then, but i'm wondering if the fact that the creative is a dedicated soundcard would have a positive impact on the quality etc

How would you feel if the government formed a team that knocked down poor peoples homes and custom built them a new one?

CCS 30th May 2008 02:30

Whatever Happened to Vileness Fats?

Helious 30th May 2008 10:18

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vileness_Fats

In 1984, The Residents discovered that the state of video technology had advanced to the point where they could salvage their old 1/2" Vileness Fats work and transfer it to VHS. They created a half-hour video from their original fourteen hours of footage and created an all-new soundtrack, releasing the result as Whatever Happened To Vileness Fats?.

The new video focused on Arf and Omega's story, from the Atomic Shopping Cart battle to the knife fight at the nightclub. It also spends a lot of time on Steve's mother, but touches only briefly on the Bell Boys, Lonesome Jack and Weescoosa. Whatever Happened To Vileness Fats? has very little dialogue and doesn't worry too much about getting a coherent story across.

Something not right about watching a rerun of Dr Who with the boy, and then channel surfing an hour later and seeing Rose with her norks out giving some joker a handjob.

CCS 30th May 2008 10:21

No, that's very right. So very very right.



Was the boy still watching?

They weren't spectacular, but I didn't laugh at them.

That would be mean.

It's not good to be mean to boobies.

Any word? Btw, any NZGamer ( or lurker ) is morally obligated to hook up fellow NZGames with this magical fruit if acquired.

Been super busy today so haven't had any chance to do so sorry - I'd actually forgotten - if my home PC hadn't died I'd check it out in the weekend.

I'll put it in my calendar for Tuesday and try and report back (jeeze and I'm such a stickler for keeping deadlines).

Pixie

cEvin 30th May 2008 17:26

you can consider yourself fired if you don't report in by Tuesday young man

chiQ 30th May 2008 21:14

Ab 30th May 2008 21:27

chiQ 30th May 2008 21:37

Are civilians allowed to possess pepper spray in NZ?

Can't find any real info, just random people guessing that it's legal or illegal without being able to back up their answer.

Illegal.

OC Sprays are restricted under the Arms Act. Only the Police can use them.

Torka 31st May 2008 01:06
