    Careful... your post may outlive you

    There are threads around here from 1999.

    Now image the year is 2030, and someone does a google search for a 3 eyed frog. Now image that someone offers a smug reply to your post. What are you gonna do then, HUH!?

    Well, it looks like he'll be S.O.L...

    Cuz we all know three-eyed frogs have a life expectancy of less than 40 years...

    I'd tell them how we properly disrespected our elders in my day.

    Always a tragedy when that happens... especially when it's someone who no doubt could have helped many others (myself included) become better c0derz...

    I wanted to have fun with this - but then you brought up Parksie and it took the fun away.

    Haven't you heard? 65 is the new 40. You're middle aged.
