Can you define the words "slowest inhabitant"

By your own definition it would be the fattest inhabitants.

If you get too fat, then you become too slow

I wonder which part of the world has the slowest inhabitants?

People that are always jealous.

I decided to avoid all of the headaches associated with Wife 1.0 by sticking with Girlfriend 2.0. Even here, however, I found many problems. Apparently you cannot install Girlfriend 2.0 on top of Girlfriend 1.0.

You must uninstall Girlfriend 1.0 first. Other users say this is a long standing bug which I should have been aware of. Apparently the versions of Girlfriend have conflicts over shared use of the I/O port. You think they would have fixed such a stupid bug by now.

To make matters worse, the uninstall program for Girlfriend 1.0 doesn't work very well leaving undesirable traces of the application in the system.

One more thing that annoys, all versions of Girlfriend continually popup little annoying messages about the advantages of upgrading to Wife 1.0.

One man to another: "I made the most embarrassing mistake yesterday. I went to the airport, and the woman behind the counter had such a big chest that I asked her for a ticket to Tittsburgh!"

I have been to Zermatt in Switzerland. You get there be a gear train and they only allow electric cars in town. Climbed at least to the base of the Matterhorn.

> Yes, Praise God. That's incredible.
Yes, praise the wheelchair.

Praise the workers that made this quality product.

He who hesitates is probably right.

Planning on sizzler steaks, mashed potatoes (with the skin) and green beans with cranberries.

To succeed in politics, it is often necessary to dive below your principles.

People that say "God bless you!" all the time, like they had any control over this.

Good News:
A busload of lawyers ran off a cliff. The bus was destroyed and there were no survivors.

Bad News:
There were three empty seats.

If General Electric would purchase the airline Alitalia, would the new airline be named Genitalia?

With time you will only remember the good things.

A mother and son were walking through a cemetery, and passed by a
headstone inscribed "Here lies a good lawyer and an honest man."
The little boy read the headstone, looked up at his mother, and
asked "Mommy, why did they bury two men there?"

<Hickup> I'll drink to that :) Happy New Year

Are you celebrating early this year?

No matter how hard you try, there are some things that rats won't do.

Wow, Radio Gibraltar is bilingual, neat!

Red wine from Spain or California goes well with a steak dinner.

Could become a classic.

For the Federal Morals Police "making love" is a very bad thing! Making kinky love is downright criminal. Are you sure it was just a dream?

and...you...ate...it?

I keep my stash in the fridge.

Just had a toasted English muffin with Lemon Curd. Also some mint tea. Feels good when you have a cold.

Dear Grandson Snee:

I have become a little older since I saw you last,
and a few changes have come into my life since then.
Frankly, I have become a frivolous old gal.

I am seeing five gentlemen everyday. As soon as I
wake up, Will Power helps me get out of bed. Then
I go to see John. Then Charlie Horse comes along,
and when he is here he takes a lot of my time and
attention. When he leaves, Arthur Ritis shows up
and stays the rest of the day. He doesn't like to
stay in one place very long, so he takes me from
joint to joint. After such a busy day, I'm really
tired and glad to go to bed with Ben Gay.

What a life. Oh yes, I'm also flirting with Al Zymer.

Love,
Grandma

P.S. The preacher came to call the other day. He said
at my age I should be thinking of the hereafter. I
told him, "Oh I do it all the time. No matter where
I am, in the parlor, upstairs, in the kitchen, or
down in the basement, I ask myself, "Now, what am I
here after?"

Why would you wash your mouth with soap? With all those chemicals in there that could be dangerous.

My mother used to wash my hands with soap, I think that was much smarter.

Thanks mawe, your Periodic Table program is sweet!

Thanks vegaseat, I will follow your advice for my simple MW calculator. When done, I will put it into the Python snippets.

Take a look at this thread and then do your own thinking:

I entered 'five click house' into the search option for this Python forum.

It looks like fixed means that variable1 value has to come from dlist1 and is fixed to the Server and variable2 value comes from dlist2 and is fixed to the Client. At least that is the way I understand this.

I want to make a small Molecular Weight calculator. If the user for instance enters the molecular formula for dichloro-benzoic acid as "C6H3Cl2COOH", I would like to split it into a list like so I can then combine all the carbons, chlorines, oxygens and hydrogens and go on to the calculation.

Any good ideas how to do the splitting?

Try this small change:

import sys

class Person:

    def __init__(self):
        self.list = []

    def AddContact(self):
        fname = raw_input("First Name:> ")
        lname = raw_input("Last Name:> ")
        street = raw_input("Street:> ")
        self.list = [ fname, lname, street]

    def ListAll(self):
        print ""


    def DeleteContact():
        print ""


class NewPerson():

    def __init__(self):
        self.v = Person()   # change here
        self.option()

    def option(self):
        print "--------- Options ---------\n"
        print " |1) Add/Update |\n"
        print " |2) List All |\n"
        print " |3) Delete Contact |\n"
        print " |4) Exit |\n"
        opt = raw_input(":> ").lower()
        if opt == '1':
            self.v.AddContact()   # change here
        elif opt == '2':
            self.v.ListAll()   # change here
        elif opt =='3':
            self.v.DeleteContact()   # change here
        elif opt == '4':
            sys.exit
        else:
            print "Invalid choice."
        self.option()

if __name__ == '__main__':
    v = NewPerson()
    v.option()

I am reading "Learning Python" by Mark Lutz and David Ascher, published by O'Reilly Books. I like it.

Back to the topic, if you watch convulsed news presented by the likes of Nancy Grace, or Rita Cosby, your morals and your brains get damaged.

My dream last night was goofy. I had to go to an important event, and was dressed up in my Sunday best. For some odd reason we took a shortcut through the woods and ended up at the Mississippi river. The river water was just filthy. We followed a dirt path along the river, walking for a long time, trying to avoid the many mud puddles. Everybody except me got covered with mud on their nice clothes. Then we got to the event, a funeral. The person who's funeral it was was still alive, it was me. I woke up.

>> I love analysing dreams.
Analyse this:

I was (in my dream), in a pub that I go to every now and then. I was chatting to some friends and out of the corner of my eye I spot an elevator I didn't notice before. I tried to point it out to friends of mine but they were distracted by a beautiful lady who just walked in (she had a spotlight on her for some reason). Anyways I walk over to the elevator door and press the button outside it. It opens and I press another button inside. The elevator goes down for ages. Eventually it stops and I get out. I end up in an Inca temple, which is fantastically grand, golden and all. I walk around and then go up stairs (which appeared I guess. Wasn't quite as long as the elevator, guess my subconscious got bored after a few flights!), to tell my friends. I bring them down and a war begins in the temple (not between us, but the Incas which weren't there before), so we panic and want to leave but the elevator door and the stair case have disappeared but a second shaft appears on the opposite side of the room. We reach it easily enough and go up, but we end up in a lab in my building in my university...

Sounds like a Hollywood movie. I hope it was in Technicolor too. Maybe the elevator was some kind of time machine. …

Nice educational toy, for grown-ups too. We had one around the house for years.

It pays to be honest with yourself and not cheat. I used to help my teacher grade papers, some cheating was so obvious.

My morals have declined since I mostly watch the news on TV. I need to take a vacation from all that biased news journalism.

Thanks Dude!
You can find some interesting stuff on shortwave. Sort of an ear on what's going on globally.

Flatulent people, particularly in the elevator. Then they look at you, like you were the offending party.

I am taking the moral high ground.

No idiot you suck. you moron

The forum rules tell you to keep things pleasant. Calling other posters names only exposes you as the one that watches too much TV.

Looked through my Halloween stash and found an "Oh Henry" candy bar. A tasty mix of peanuts, caramel and fudge.

I'm sorry, I didn't re-read all of this thread, but that sounds like a simpleton trying to "dumb things down".

There we go again, calling posters stupid! I though we had to keep things pleasant as a forum rule.

Once in a while.

Serious with a grin.

Argyle socks where not on my list, but I received them anyway.

My flat gets broken in a lot, but my collection of still unused argyle socks has never been stolen.

Thanks Dude, this one is a good source of health info:

Maybe we need to add Pakistan to the list. They have three times as many people as Iran, and they actually have nuclear weapons. The US has also given them plenty of loose money.
