    The difference between industrial society and information society:
    In an industrial society you take a shower when you have come home from work.
    In an information society you take a shower before leaving for work.

    Edit: Your signature would be: Die Männer, die vorm Schokoladenladen Laden laden, laden Ladenmädchen ein zum Tanz.

            Do I detect a bit of colonial smugness here?

                        I wonder if the fact that I spelled the work "of" as "uv" until the 4th grade has anything to do with my poor skills in writing.......

                          What do you mean it's not "uv"?
                          Sorry....nothing to say!

                            And shouldn't it be...

                            Suffrage not sufferage.

                            According to Merriam-Webster's online:

                            Main Entry: suf·frage
                            Pronunciation: 's&-frij, sometimes -f&-rij
                            Function: noun
                            Etymology: in sense 1, from Middle English, from Middle French, from Medieval Latin suffragium, from Latin, vote, political support, from suffragari to support with one's vote; in other senses, from Latin suffragium
                            Date: 14th century
                            1 : a short intercessory prayer usually in a series
                            2 : a vote given in deciding a controverted question or in the choice of a person for an office or trust
                            3 : the right of voting : FRANCHISE; also : the exercise of such right

                              emperor, not emporer.

                              ridiculous, not rediculous.

                              asteroid, not asteriod. (Heh, not especially germane to Civ, but I thought I'd just toss it in there. )

                              "is disappointing", not "sux0rz".

                              And while we're complaining about stuff, I wish to go on record as stating that too many people are punctuating their petty demands with the little red fist-pounding guy. This overuse MUST STOP!
