* Warning!, shameless e-mail plagiarism and translating into english ahead *

Yesterday, scientists revealed the results of an experiment to see if Beer contained female hormones.
Men should take a critical view on their beer-consumption, as beer -according to the theory- contains phytoastrogen. This means that if males consume vast amounts of beer, they might just turn into women.
To test this theory, they let a 100 male test subjects drink 8 pints of beer, in a period of 1 hour.

While observing, it showed that 100% of the subjects:

1) Increased in weight
2) Suddenly started talking all the time, without really saying anything
3) Became overly emotional
4) Couldnt drive anymore
5) Couldnt think rationally anymore
6) Had fights over nothing
7) Had to sit down to urinate
8) Refused to apologize, when they were obviously wrong

Further investigations were deemed unnecessary>>

Thanks for the laugh Arvon! What a nice thing to do to share a joke you have found and bring a little laughter to this corner of the world!

Chill man, we can't all reinvent the wheel and it would also be pointless. Why shouldn't he share stuff he gets in email?

LOL nice one Arvon.
[/QUOTE]He never links to the source site and never indicates it's not his work. Crafting humoorous pieces is an artform. He should give credit where credit can be given if he's going to post from other sites.

I'm just wondering when Arvon is going to write his own take on situations. He obviously has a sense of humour. Why not write from his own perspective? At least from time to time. I've never seen him write something original. It's always these cut and paste jobs. As funny as they may be. they are not as valuable as something he could share from his own experience.

That's all. He can throw my opinion in the toilet if he wishes. [img]smile.gif[/img] I would personally love to read what Arvon himself writes.

[/QUOTE]As you say, crafting humourous pieces is difficult. If there was a choice between Arvon not posting anything because he can't create them himself and Arvon copying/pasting funny things he finds, I'd take the 2nd one

Well, not everyone is a writer. We all contribute in our own way.. and Arvon: Better stolen well, then invented wrong (beter goed gejat dan slecht bedacht: Dutch Proverb). Or something like that..

Really, Yorick. Who cares? I dont. Maybe a reference to the authur would be good, but most the stuff you find out there is generic. Why do you need to pick on him for posting funny stuff. I think your being a little to serious about this. Lighten up.
