    "The vertical bar (|) is a character with various uses in mathematics, where it can be used to represent absolute value, among others; in computing and programming; and in general typography, as a divider not unlike the interpunct. It may be called by various other names including the pipe (by the Unix community, referring to the I/O pipeline construct), Sheffer stroke (by computer or mathematic logicians), verti-bar, vbar, stick, vertical line, vertical slash, think colon, or divider line by others."

    And the intarwebz is made primarily of porn, not cats. ( Unless there's cat porn, which in fact I would not doubt. )

    And the closely related rule 73, if it has been said, there is a web site for it.

    Is there migopod porn?

    I ask because I am NOT going to Google it. That way lies madness.

    Not that I'm aware of. This may simply be evidence of my non-existence.

    I mis-read that 'sock-puberty' but then remembered that this is a family forum.
    I have no idea what that means.

    Not everybody can be as lucky as mrbiggs, and have a bar in Hell's Kitchen and a website named after him: http://www.mrbiggsnewyork.com/

    This is true. Nearly all the things that bear the name migopod are of mine own hand. Things that bear the name Mi-go, from which I derive my handle on the other hand...

    Yeah, I think I did say that, or something like it, higher up the page.

    Thanks for noticing.

    This has to be the most ignorant/stupid statement I have ever seen on this forum.

    Oh, wait, wrong thread...

    Well, which is it, ignorant or stupid? Ignorupid? Stuporant?
    Is there special punctuation for that?

    Oh, I get it now (blond moment); of all the stupid comments, that was the most ignorant.

    Yes, I rock that way; making the most out of everything, even stupid comments. You should have read it before I ignoratized it. It was just "meh" when it was new.

    I fixed it. I made it the most it could be.

    You will never find a stupid comment exhibit such 'most' ignorance. It could be none more ignorant and still be a stupid comment...
    ... and on this forum.

    Yea, me!

    Bitwise OR operator? >.<

    || is logical or boolean or operator. | is the bitwise or in many languages.
