			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey again everyone,</p>
<p>As you probity know, I live by 3 rules:</p>
<blockquote><p>People, as a rule, are stupid</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>Never argue with a stupid person, they drag you down to their level and beat you with experance.</p>
<p>Build a man a fire, keep him warm for a day.  Set a man on fire and keep him warm for the rest of his life.</p></blockquote>
<p>People tell me that I may be <em>slightly</em> demented, but hey&#8230;</p>
<p>Well, I picked up number four today:</p>
<blockquote><p>Some people are like slinkies &#8211; Not really good for anything, but they bring a smile to your face when pushed down the stairs.</p></blockquote>
<p>It&#8217;s slightly twisted, but it certainly fits me.</p>
<p>Until next time!</p>
<p>~M</p>
