I think that person should check their drink for any strange tablets, and 
perhaps stop eating food that needs a haircut and/or is inexplicably green. 
;-D

Heh. Well, the *answers* are perfectly sane. But some of the questions 
that get sent in are... pretty odd.

Q. What's the weirdest email you've ever had about Ctrl+Alt+Del?
A. Too many to choose from.

Yes, but I'm not sure I'd want to admit that people ask me those kinds of 
questions.
At any rate, I might need to re-evaluate my target audience. ;-p

Heh. It just shows that *they* are crazy. Not you necessarily. ;-)

Nah, I'm sure if you do anything reasonably popular in the Internet 
you're going to get at least a few people ask you crazy things. The 
Internet seems to attract crazy people for some reason...

Maybe because it is quite anonymous, but I'm sure those comment/suggestion 
boxes in shops and places get some pretty crazy stuff too :-)

Yeah, that might be interesting...

I'm wondering if specific shops get specific kinds of cracked pots? :-D

This is very true. Back in '96 there was a local PhD (HAAARKEEER!! *shakes 
fist*) who ripped off of me word for word, entire pages, in an Aquarium 
Frontiers online article regarding foam fractionation. Some people in #reefs 
brought this to my attention, and I was quite amused. I wonder if he knew I 
was 16? And while all information and theory I presented happened to be 
accurate, he *must* have been crazy to not only blatantly plagarize, but to 
rip off of a 16yo. lol! :-D

>The Internet seems to attract crazy people for some reason...

But...but....*we're* on the internet... o.o

;-p

This is where I mumble something about immitation being the more sincere 
form of flattery or something...

As you may know, while I was at uni doing my BSc, I regularly had MSc 
students that I'd never met before in my life wander up to me and ask in 
broken English whether I could "fix their Java". I have no idea how the 
hell they knew my name or my skill with Java...

Now, now... The inverse of a statement does not necessarily follow. ;-) 
Who said it was a logical biconditional?

Hehe reminds me of when we had the first few mechanical drawing (yes, by 
hand, you try drawing the intersection of a cylinder and cone by hand in 3 
different projections!) classes at University.  There was only one guy who 
could do this stuff properly (he did it during a gap year I think) and so as 
the afternoon progressed each stage of the work would kind of ripple 
outwards from his desk towards the outside :-)
