Crazy and I'm not entirely sure if it's fair. People work hard all their
lives. I'm sure for those people it would seem sickening for him to find
such a glaring loophole in land ownership.

I have heard of this rule before but I thought it was more of an urban myth.

Not in Hampstead they don't - bunch of wasters.

And the rest of them just bugger around in the bushes on the Heath.

Literally.

It's real. Easements and adverse possession(I think) can result of
unchallenged land use. If you own property, it is a good idea to post No
Entry and Private Property signs per the legal definition. Be careful of
people driving on your land or using it for any kind of business. Even
fences that encroach your property can be an issue.

Breen's citadel was challenged was challenged by city 17 but breen could
prove that it had been on the site for more than 15 years. Also, he had the
help of 1,000 transhuman combine "lawyers".

You misunderstand. I wasn't asking for clarification.

Over here in America, at least in VA, if you tend somebody else's land
(mow, use, etc.) for 5+ years unchallenged, you can claim it. We also
have squatters' rights too, but I think that's 15 or 20 years unchallenged.

Ah, bears aren't so bad. It could be worse. Mauling by a bear's really not
so bad. Really. My cats can give a nasty scratch if they're startled. And
bees - don't get me started on THOSE b***ards.

Really, most bears are all cuddly and stuff. I think they even purr. Sure,
they have big teeth, but that's just for eating nuts and stuff.

I think you're a little *too* pro bear for my liking...

"nuts and *stuff*" being meat mostly...

And nuts made out of meat...

And hippie treehuggers...
/me thinks of the Futurama episode where the Omicronians demand
retribution for eating their young (Popplers) and end up eating the
stupid hippie.
    "Woah, I think there was something in that hippie"
    "Duuuuuuude my hands can touch aanything but themselves... wooaaaahhhhh"

Oh, so true!
I'm not very "culturally literate", so every once in a while, I'll pick
something up that just adds another layer of awesomeness to Futurama.
Ex: I just learned the other day that Elzar is based on a real chef with
the Bam! and accent and all. And the brain slugs might be based on an
old movie The Puppeteers, who latched onto the back of your neck and
controlled you.
Just little stuff like that makes it all that funnier.
Oh, and the saddest episode EVAR. When Fry moved the stars to say I <3
Leela. Man.

Anywho, I'll stop my Futuramo-rave here.

Didn't know that. :)

That may be a reference to the Red Dwarf books in which they made the
stars spell out "Coca Cola"

Hilarious. I think the book read something like "Tribes yet undiscovered
by man looked up to the night sky and saw Coca Cola written in the stars"

If you like the TV programs (and for the love of god I don't mean the
bastardized American pilot ones) then read the books. You will laugh in
public and people will think you're mad.

Don't stop on my account. Let's face it, we're not going to "block up
the newsgroup" are we?

There are quite a few reasons I like Futurama. I like Futurama because
it's "a Simpsons for geeks"
I love things like the Pac Man and Donkey Kong references. There are so
many more references which are far more obscure.

For me, the funniest, or one of the funniest is in the episode with the
robot rebellion (a parody of the socialist uprising in Russia) where the
birthday-card robot suggests to Bender that one day they'll operate on
synthetic fuel and not alcohol. Bad idea to say *that* to Bender.

To which Bender replies "Gazgadanya, comrade..." and then promptly tears
him in two.

I'm not sure of the exact translation but I think it's "Farewell, comrade"

I heard they're making a new series. I wait patiently with some small
amount of excitement.

I can't understand why they didn't lift him and drive him to Ben Nevis or
Rathlin Island or Stornoway, granted, more expensive than simply killing
him, but to let a f.cking waster like that become a millionaire is
disgraceful! You lot here can flame like f.ck, for all I care, but I would
like to say this: What the f.ck is wrong with this country (UK) that those
who make the least effort are most highly rewarded, but those that work are
punished financially for everything they do?  Sorry folks, but that first
post struck a chord.

Wasters become millionaires twice every week playing the lottery. <g>
(Probably the only way I could ever get any money, either, there's no jobs
where I live...)
