I'm not sure you were meant to.

RE: Offended by your fiendishness.

Rephrase:  Some person changed it.

Suspects:  Zach - highly possible.
                mathsyperson - now, where has he been?
                justlookingforthemoment - quite possible.
                Insomnia - see comment for mathsyperson.
                MathsIsFun - he was offended by people being offended. Possible.
                Ricky - possible, but unlikely.
                ganesh - possible, but no unlikely.

I call any witnesses to come forward now.

I don't know the answers [ooh, but I've found that I can check them and get back a 'wrong' or 'right'], but that sounds right, Rod [and actually, yes it is]. Good job!

Um... is this a joke?

[Hehe, whoops, I misread the whole thing and thought you were talking about something different unrelated to the joke at the end. Excuse me while I go and dunk my head in a bucket of water.]

A Why Me Rhyme is a pair of words that look like they should rhyme (after all, only their first letter is different), but don't really. For example, depending on the colorist, Etrigan could be considered a lemon demon. See if you can figure out these twelve Why Me Rhymes from their descriptions:

   a) What is heard when your little girl is having fun
   b) A disgustingly dirty sticker
   c) A siesta for weirdos
   d) A friendly rejection
   e) Lists of all sorts of animals to be eaten
   f) An unrefined crucifix
   g) A type of bar bet, maybe?
   h) Makes a news agency irrelevant
   i) Stamps that someone refuses to return
   j) Makes contact with feminine hygiene products
   k) A price reduction given only to certain noblemen
   l) Newer style of patio furniture

Me too! About the super duper bit!

The black ball always (I mean always!) rolls into one of the holes! Should there be a penalty (like, one point off) for this or does that make it too hard? I feel like there needs to be some sort of obstacle (um, what about prongs which burst the ball, table on a tilting/moving slope ... I don't know), because to get to the next level isn't that difficult. Maybe different colour balls can be worth different point values and multiply in (like, 2 x 4 x 9).

Also, maybe a sound effects off button. They're very cool, but after a while some people may want to turn them off. Was it just my imagination, or when you get two balls in from one hit, does a lady say 'Very good'?

Ooh, and you could have a circular table, or even a triangular one!

LOL?

Laugh(ing) out loud.

LOL!

Mathaphobe, did you post this just so you could procrastinate?

I procrastinate with most things. And then, once I've actually started, and got into the swing of things, I just can't stop! Someone has to yell at me first.

Examples: assignments, going to bed at night, having a shower, reading set novels (actually, there is just one I can think of), replying to email, revising (for tests especially), music practise ... hang on, maybe I should be doing that now.

Yeah, Rod, why not come up with some good photo-matching software?

You could make millions!

Right!

Lookalikes were all animals.
