Has anyone seen this doing the rounds
As most of you know I am neutral regarding America and the UK but this has come to my attention and it's quite amusing....What are your views?
To the citizens of the United States of America, in the light of your failure to elect a competent President of the USA and thus to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective today.
Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths and other territories. Except Utah, which she does not fancy. Your new prime minister (The Right Honourable Tony Blair, MP for the 97.85% of you who have until now been unaware that there is a world outside your borders) will appoint a minister for America without the need for further elections. Congress and the Senate will be disbanded. A questionnaire will be circulated next year to determine whether any of you noticed. To aid in the transition to a British Crown Dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect:
1. You should look up revocation in the Oxford English Dictionary. Then look up aluminium. Check the pronunciation guide. You will be amazed at just how wrongly you have been pronouncing it. The letter 'U' will be reinstated in words such as 'favour' and 'neighbour', skipping the letter 'U' is nothing more than laziness on your part. Likewise, you will learn to spell 'doughnut' without skipping half the letters. You will end your love affair with the letter 'Z' (pronounced 'zed' not 'zee') and the suffix ize will be replaced by the suffix ise. You will learn that the suffix 'burgh' is pronounced 'burra' e.g. Edinburgh. You are welcome to respell Pittsburgh as 'Pittsberg' if you can't cope with correct pronunciation.
Generally, you should raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. Look up vocabulary. Using the same twenty seven words interspersed with filler noises such as "like" and "you know" is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication. Look up interspersed. There will be no more 'bleeps' in the Jerry Springer show. If you're not old enough to cope with bad language then you shouldn't have chat shows. When you learn to develop your vocabulary then you won't have to use bad language as often.
2. There is no such thing as "US English". We will let Microsoft know on your behalf. The Microsoft spell-checker will be adjusted to take account of the reinstated letter 'u' and the elimination of -ize.
3. You should learn to distinguish the English and Australian accents. It really isn't that hard. English accents are not limited to cockney,upper-class twit or Mancunian (Daphne in Frasier). You will also have to learn how to understand regional accents - Scottish dramas such as Taggart will no longer be broadcast with subtitles. While we're talking about regions, you must learn that there is no such place as Devonshire in England. The name of the county is Devon. If you persist in calling it Devonshire, all American States will become shires e.g. Texasshire, Floridashire, Louisianashire.
4. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as the good guys. Hollywood will be required to cast English actors to play English characters. British sit-coms such as Men Behaving Badly or Red Dwarf will not be re-cast and watered down for a wishy-washy American audience who can't cope with the humour of occasional political incorrectness.
5. You should relearn your original national anthem, God Save The Queen but only after fully carrying out task 1. We would not want you to get confused and give up half way through.
6. You should stop playing American football. There is only one kind of football. What you refer to as American football is not a very good game. The 2.15% of you who are aware that there is a world outside your borders may have noticed that no one else plays American football. You will no longer be allowed to play it, and should instead play proper football. Initially, it would be best if you played with the girls. It is a difficult game. Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby (which is similar to American "football", but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour like nancies). We are hoping to get together at least a US Rugby sevens side by 2005. You should stop playing baseball. It is not reasonable to host an event called the 'World Series' for a game which is not played outside of America.* Since only 2.15% of you are aware that there is a world beyond your borders, your error is understandable. Instead of baseball, you will be allowed to play a girls' game called rounders, which is baseball without the fancy team strip, oversized gloves, collector cards or hotdogs.
*QUICK NOTE: Baseball is, in fact, a popular sport in Japan and its surrounding countries. However, as their teams are never invited to partake in the 'World Series', your point still stands.*
7. You will no longe
Just me - It's called freedom of expression
Part 2 coming soon at a local forum near you.
The only logical solution, thanks for seeing the humour in it, part 2 has posted.

Java constructor error
Hopefully this is a little faster than the forums. I'm working on a program, and I have two custom classes. They both have the same constructors, word for word. I have checked this at least 20 times, looking for spelling, logic errors, the works. I create two objects, each one using one of the classes. I pass the same object into the constructors. One of them is giving me an error, and the other one isn't. Anyone able to tell me why?
Here's the relevant code:
//Here's two objects of different types. They both use the same input object.
ob_map = new ObjectsMap(main_c);
game_map = new GameMap(main_c);
//Here's both constructors, one for ObjectsMap, and the other for GameMap:
public GameMap(GamePlayer pl){}
public ObjectsMap(GamePlayer pl){}
There are no spelling errors, logic errors, etc. The call to ObjectsMap works perfectly, while its twin does not. This happens randomly, too. Sometimes it works, sometimes not.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? I'd settle for an educated guess on why it even happens. Thanks.
@Ben - No, I don't think that matters. I reversed the order of the calls. Even when called first, there is an error, while the second call works perfectly fine.
Did that even make sense? I'm pretty tired.
Whoa, sorry guys. I did forget the error. But I think I fixed it. Ben, what you said indirectly gave me an idea. I just tried it, and it worked so far. So I guess you get the thanks for this save. I gotta run though, but thanks for all your answers!

Microsoft word doesnt mark misspelled words it wants to translate them instead
A friend of mine downloaded a Japanese game off the internet on my computer. This game required some settings to be changed in the computer’s “Regional and Language option” for it to be able to function properly. I tried to change the settings back to default because I noticed some English files being corrupt but I am having problems with Microsoft Word. Obvious words that are misspelled are not mark/underlined in red. When I right click on these words, Microsoft Word offers to translate these words to English instead of offering spelling suggestions. This has never been a problem before the settings were messed with. I have uninstalled Microsoft Word and reinstalled it after the settings were “fixed” to the best of my abilities. It is still not showing misspelled words as being wrong. I also see “Asian Layout” in the “Format” tab and that was never there before. Please help me fix this problem.

I need help remembering a kids educational movietv show
I remember watching this on VHS when I was younger but can only remember bits of pieces of it. I'm thinking it came out sometime between 1990 and 1994.
Okay, it involved a boy dog (who had on a trench coat and had a cigar) and a girl ostrich. They were trying to do something, I can't quite remember, and ended up in a casino.
On the way they met a crocodile and King Tut (I think they were helping him find his mummy), and probably some other people. Mainly they helped them spell some words. There was also singing.
At the end of the movie, there was an extra piece. It involved animals that couldn't go outside because it was raining. They put on a game show and maybe a chick who did an exercise program?
This is the most random information, I know, but if you have any other information or know what this is called it help me out so much, and I'll make sure I'll pick Best Answer!

Is this a good poem Just Explain
Can you explain this to me?
We speak with words that hold no meaning.
Skipping, dancing lightly around what brought us both to where we are now.
I really wish you wouldn’t hang your head in defeat,
When I ask you to just explain.
Tell me what your thinking, tear down that wall
Let the raw emotion take control, and just explain..
Some days you look at me and its as if the heavens opened the clouds, and shined happiness you could only dream of, down on me.
As quickly as you do it, you take it back with the same breathe of air, and I’m left crawling, searching, desperately grasping the warmth from you.
All I get is a tired glance, a defeated look in your eyes.
Will mine burn bright for you, forever? Will there ever be a time when you glance up at me, and truly smile, meet my burning eyes with a set of yours exactly the same?
Just please, explain.
Explain to me.
Don’t just sigh, let me go. If you need me to leave, If I am your blanket of darkness, ill go to make your day brighter.
You want me to stay and you want me to go.
You want me to probe, you tell me threes no need to know.
If you needed me to, id do whatever it takes. Id kiss away every sad thought every salty tear, I would turn your frown into that crooked grin, and give you those special kisses my lips were designed for.
You’ve got one wicked spell, yeah
And you cast it on me
So how come you cant understand, why I can’t leave you be?
You leave me hanging, like this is a game.
Explain me the rules, and ill be your queen.
Ha, I’m in anyway. I’ve agreed to the terms not knowing or caring what they are. As long as they involve me and you…
Throw me a life jacket, because I’m going under. You told me this would happen, you told me not to get involved. You threw me a life jacket, you threw me a few. I ignored them all, swam towards my prize.
You.
You, with your burning eyes, your cocky attitude, the one that matched mine alike. You threw me that evil grin, that smile, that in that instant we both exchanged a bolt of lightning emotion, that I was yours. Yours for the taking.
“Its not your place to care”, you say to me.
I know its not my place but I cant help it. I cant help that I need to know you. I need to know everything, and whatever’s not perfect, let me fix it. Smooth out all the rough edges on you. All the pain, your pain is my pain. I look in your eyes, I see the hurt with one glance. I want those hurting eyes to be at ease when they rest upon me. Let me be the reason your day is joyful. Let you wake up every morning with a smile when your first thought every morning, is of me.
“You wouldn’t understand”, you say, with the roll of your eye.
So just explain. Explain to me why I cant be your angel. Explain to me why heart beats only your name, with no shame.
And yet here we are, strangers. Strangers that know exactly everything about each other. Strangers, with no secrets.
So please, please, just explain…..
