I can think of some other terms besides 'crazy'.

Excuse me Robert. Pink. I re-read the story. The goof in question appears to be American.

The West Australian Newspaper has a daily feature called "Burning Questions" where the readers are invited to send in questions and anyone who thinks that they know the answer can send it in. Yesterday's Burning Question made my day; the question was "How are hundreds and thousands made?" Two people replied. The first gave a very learened discourse on how sugar is rolled in a special way to create little balls which are then coloured etc The second person sent in this one-liner: "Hundreds and thousands are Smartie poo."

Good question, Robert. I am not even sure, now that you come to mention it, that hundreds and thousands translate to "the other place".

How many posts do I need to make before I become a Demi-God?

I think 500 pink. Oh! I think the computer makes you a full fledged 'God', and then Aravis breaks you down.
Smarties are little hardshell candies, with chocolate inside, no?
Hundreds and Thousands, however: no idea.

I have a long way to go then; do I become a goddess, I wonder?
You are right about Smarties - they are like M & Ms. I think that hundreds and thousands are called sprinkles or something like that. They are the little coloured balls used to decorate cupcakes.

I don't know if divinity knows gender. I believe Queen Elizabeth I layed down the law on that. As I recall, she was asked for the correct English translation for Hebrew pronouns which have no gender, or number. Her answer was something along the lines that since God doesnt' have number, person or gender, it didn't matter a great deal: use 'he' to avoid confusion. Pink: I think you are going to be a god, rightly so.
Yes, we have smarties. They are the favorite of my nephews and nieces (and my wife, incidentally).

We're actually not all that friendly. I expect that the illusion is produce through the employment of immigrants in the low paying service jobs, involving contact with tourists. I think you'd have had a different rating entirely if tourists ever left Whistler, Banff and a few other destinations. We'd be top of the list for meanness, but also top for natural beauty.

Well that fits - Nature is beautiful and cruel.
