    Congratulations Jim.

    There is a need for Ren. Men, most just don't realize it

    Think of what things would be like if we had well rounded leaders who were farmers, inventors, philosophers, theologians, as well as lawyers and theives.... oh, sorry. I didn't mean to repeat my self

    So if the KiltedCodeWarrior starts running West wearing a Utilikilt at 11:30 AM EST and Panache starts running East wearing a Stillwater Standard at 12:30 PM PST , how long before the two of them get tired and stop for a beer?



    Congratulations to our new Kilted Math Professor!

    Cheers

    Actually, I was about with you on the answers.

    But I did go to a trivia contest at a local pub one time, arriving late. But the last question was to convert a Celcius temp to Farehnheit, and it just so happened that we had done exactly the same problem that day in the remedial math class I was teaching.

    Guess who won.

    Depends on the proximity of the nearest Pub!
    Both of them being true Scots'
    how long they stay in the pub depends on the price of the beer
