      For fans of ill-conceived and factually incorrect articles about diabetes, I present:

      Can you avoid diabetes?

      My favourite bit:

      “Diabetes was just about obsolete 150 yrs ago. It was very rare to find someone who had the disease, type 1 or type 2.” This was mainly because they were dead.

      @Lizz – are you trying to position yourself as the female equivalent of @Teloz in the double-entendre stakes? If so, well done ;-)

      Girl walks into a bar and asks the bartender for an example of a double-entendre …..

      “Fnarr! Fnarr!”, “Warf! Warf!”, “Tsssk Tsssk”, “Chortle Chortle” and “K-Woo! K-Woo!”

      etc.

      Er, no. I have no idea what the double-entendre meaning of ‘to palm’ would be except to palm something off on someone pretending it is of more value than it is. I have double-entendred with the best heretofore but for now Teloz keeps his crown.

      I am merely a Trekkie. Or Trekker. I have been to conventions. I have the Jean-Luc teddy (BEAR). I hanker after Worf and Data and Jean-Luc Picard.

      Choose your side @lizz, there’s all the difference in the world between a TrekkIE and a TrekkER :)

      Well, I don’t agree, i think it’s rather an artificial distinction, and actually, people don’t even agree on the distinctions. I was a fan of the first and very series since, I DO and have been to conventions, but I am also fascinated by the Roddenbury projections of scientific fact/fiction. I would LOVE a piece of memorabilia, but also have the books which explain the science and schematics of the ships etc.
