I always seem to meet scorpios wherever I go. I realised something about this sign, in that they are such copycats. They have no originality and they are always followers. They never set trends or anything original/fresh, they just blindly copy and it's very annoying. They dont seem to think with their own brains. Why are scorpios mostly like that?? Does anyone agree or what other signs do you find irritating about? I have so many scorpio friends and they're always following my styles, and habits and all that, it's really to a point of frustration. Now when i know someone is a scorpio i stay away from them. Im not shallow or believe in these things too much, but it seems so coincidental. I think it is really their trait. Does anyone agree or always meet the same particular sign often and find they have annoying traits about them?

I don't care about the cost, I just want to know what is a good reliable brand that's able to last long and works very well. I purchased a panasonic VCD/DVD player based on advice from friends/colleagues. A few also mentioned pioneer. I know i've already bought it but i just want to know more. Can anyone with experience please recommend what is a good brand. Thanks.

When you eat ice cream out of a cup or glass and some of the melted stuff is left after you've finished, do you let it be or slurp it up in a straw? Personally, I find it disgusting. I can't stand it when someone slurps up the milky remains at the bottom of the cup or glass.

I think this dance is very creative and beautiful. What are your opinions? All comments are welcome.

who would you want it to be and why?

For me, I'd like Bugs Bunny because he's funny, cute, cool and always knows what to say and do. Sounds like he'll make a very entertaining and good friend.

My personal favorite is the '3 knitted fellows'

I've a few clear glass crokeries that haven't been used for a long time. How do I effectively get rid of the yellow stains on them and get them to look clear and shiny again?

I'm sure there are many modern day geniuses but why don't their contributions make impacts as big as those older yet ever famous geniuses' like Archimedes, Isaac Newton, Galileo Galilei, Pythagoras, Thomas Edison and so on? I'm sure our modern day geniuses have made contributions, discovered and invented new things and technology but why aren't they as well known? Without consulting Wikipedia or Google or anything, I can hardly name a modern genius...unless Bill Gates is considered as one. I'm sure there are modern geniuses and their contributions, like the finding out of DNA, medical break throughs, space explorations and many more but who are the geniuses behind all these works and why aren't they made as big and famous? Have we stopped adding geniuses to the list? Would like to hear what others' opinion on this is.

Do you ever make up cute silly words that you use only on your pets? Words that don't really make sense but it just sounds cute and silly and so suitable to be used on your pets? I call and tease my chihuahua pretty often because he's just too cute and irresistible. I call him names like 'doopy head' or 'bubble face' or I make up words like 'kissded' or 'huggles-ded' (meaning kissed and hugged) and he seems to get it. My sis comes home and calls out to him 'who wants to be kissded?' and he goes running to get kissed. I think it's funny and silly at the same time, anyone make up words like that too?

shot and bagged the enormous hog? Why can't people just leave animals like that alone? Why do people always feel the need to catch and kill the biggest animal or a prehistoric one of a kind fish or an exotic bird or the largest squid. Why can't we leave them alone and let these species thrive and breed on?

This boy doesn't need to be commended, he needs to be educated.

I'm more of a Yves St. Laurent and Chanel girl. I love their products. However, I want to try other brands as well. I know that 'Bourjois' has a wide range of cosmetics. How does this brand fare? I know about how different brands work for different people but I want to know what this brand is like generally.

What do you think about it? I think it's pretty funny.

It's a tree sweater.

Adventures like 'Lord of the Rings', 'Harry Potter', 'Chronicles of Narnia' where all kinds of creatures and beasts exist, like beautiful elven people, minotaurs, phoenix, huge vicious ogres, witches, wizards etc. How many have even thought up of their own fantasy creatures, whether good or evil kinds. Talk about it.

Personally, the one that tops the list for me is Miaka from Fushigi Yuugi. Not just the character, I think the whole story of the anime is just simply terrible. One girl who gets almost all the guy?! She has such an annoying look and character. Her faults are just too many to list.

Also, I find generally a lot of female anime characters are annoying, especially if you watch the original version where they speak in Jap and there's English subtitles.

So which one pricks you?

I used to think Walt Disney produced pretty good cartoons/movies/animations but lately I feel they're losing it in terms of originality and entertainment quality. I find they are such big copycats. You can see many of their ideas are copied from other movies/cartoons/animations and their jokes are starting to get stale. I'm getting tired of hearing ...' I'm not so-and-so, I'm MISTER so-and-so.' and they always have to have a stampede scene in their cartoons, e.g. lion king, mulan, brother bear. Blah!

It's never an issue when they copy from others but when someone copies from them, they make a big hu ha about it.

What are your views on Walt Disney?

1) An elephant escaped from the circus and no trace had been found until a lady who had never seen an elephant before, rang the police. She was panic-stricken. "There is a weird monster in my back yard," she cried. "It's pulling up the cabbages with its tail! What is worse...I cannot describe what it is doing with them!"

2) The young man was so nervous when he approached his highly formal prospective father-in-law that he blurted out the words: " I'm asking for your daughter's hole in handy matrimony!"

3) Young Johnny was late for school again. "And what kept you this time, Johnny?" asked the young mistress in despair for yet another yarn. "It's the breeding season, Miss, and I had to put the bull to the cows," he said. "Couldn't your father do that?" She asked. "No," said Johnny, "it's gotta be a bull!"

Q: What's the difference between men and pigs?

A: When pigs drink, they don't make men of themselves.

1) A travelling saleswoman carrying a bag of expensive, herbal perfumes entered an elevator. The elevator was on its way up when the saleswoman felt a huge fart developing. She wanted to let it rip but felt self conscious and so held it back as best as she could. However, since she was alone, she decided to just let it fly anyway. It was a huge thunder clap of a fart that escaped and it smelled terrible. Worried, the saleswoman dug into her bag of perfumes and brought one bottle out and started spraying the air frantically to mask the foul odor. Soon the elevator stopped at a particular level and a man walked in. Upon entering the elevator, the man sniffed the air and exclaimed loudly, " Wow, someone farted in here and it smells like pine!"

2) Lady Fotheringham suffered from flatulence a great deal and was prone to farting when she got excited while entertaining friends at her manor. She was fortunate in having a very loyal and discreet butler called James whom she hired, who always took the blame for her farts. Upon hearing these "explosions", James would instantly say "excuse me", and promptly leave the room, taking the blame and saving her ladyship great embarrassment.

However one day, James fell ill and was replaced by a butler from the employment service to help out on an important tea party. In the middle of a conversation with the vicar, Lady Fotheringham suffered one of her fart attacks and she let go a fart so big, it would have ripped a spinnaker to shreds. She turned to the new butler and said, "John, stop that!" "Certainly madam," said the new John, "which way did it go?"

3) The Queen was showing the Archbishop of Canterbury around the Royal Stables when one of the stallions close by broke wind in such a loud and gusty manner, it couldn't be ignored. "oh dear," said the Queen blushing, "how embarrassing, I'm frightfully sorry about that."

"It's quite understandable," said the Archbishop, and after a moment, he added, " as a matter of fact, I thought it was the horse."

4) A woman was consulting her doctor and explaining her problem in a timid manner. "What can you do for me doctor? I have a lot of wind."

The doctor gave her a kite.
