[It took me 5 times to write something that didnt sound like a line from a sleazy movie ]

Way to go!

Great! And, welcome!

It is always a pleasure to read about someone's sucessful snipes when they are using AS for the first time. Remember, like any other software, they may be a rare burp; don't let it dismay you. Also, whatever it is that you may have missed, another will come floating down the 'bay soon enough. Welcome aboard.

Congrats! Auction wins are always cool, but somehow they're even more satisfying when it's only by a few cents! Hope there are many more!

...and Lexie

Ummm...this would be by number, not by mass, I presume??? What about hands? There should be a bunch there, too? Spinal column?? Am I being too "science-specific"???

I LOVE AUCTION SNIPER!

the best sniping service around!

My brother and his friend tried using it to bid, yet they lost, and I won 2 auctions with AS, can someone suggest to me what they are doing wrong?

Not being the highest bidder?

Hey!! I just report the news, I dont make it!! This information comes from a VERY reliable source

Funky Stuff.....23% of all photocopier faults are caused by people sitting on them and photocopying their buttocks

Lexie, did you post that latest factoid just to see if Jabber would question what body parts caused the other 77%?

We will have to wait and see

Hey, yeah!! What he said?!?

What do you think would be likely candidates for most photocopied body parts?

Obviously, butt cheeks are number one

Lexie - Since Jabber responded to your “Funky stuff” about bones with, “Ummm...this would be by number, not by mass, I presume???”, it’s quite possible his response to your latest will be, “Ummm...this would be by copies, not by toner, I presume???” Personally, I’m curious if color copiers would impact the results.

I’ll vote for hooters’ photocopying – with or without color.

I'm starting to think there is something wrong with me...I have NEVER photocopied my butt, or any other body part.

I do remember a radio competition where you had to fax a photocopy of your butt through, but I dont think I wanted the prize, because I never did it.

I dont get why photocopying your butt would cause the copier to malfunction??

Well, I can in some cases, but not THAT many.

“Your butt”? Was there a process so that the radio station could verify that the butt photocopied was the same one that the contestant was actually dragging around (I’d hate it when someone shill-butts)? Here in the States (“Up Over”), the notary publics don’t typically provide this service, but then maybe that’s why Australia is called “Down Under” (or in this case, “down and under”).

I definitely wouldn’t want to follow someone else’s butt coping, but then I wouldn’t want a cold copier either (maybe it’s a guy thing). Lexie, you don’t happen to remember what first prize was? It could have been a collage of all the photocopies, or even some suntan lotion.

All right everyone - big grin. Now bend over and say, “Cheeeese!”

This probably harkens back to the days when most photocopiers had a moving carriage in which the original paper to be copied was placed and a stationary "copying light". Butt-copiers had to deftly move their posterior in time with the carriage without putting too much weight on the device so it would still operate correctly and not break.

Today, in most, if not all, copying machines, the "copying light" moves across the stationary original paper. Today butt-copiers probably have to take care to avoid cracking the glass on which originals-to-be-copied are placed. In overweight prone USA, this is probably a major concern among butt-copiers.

...I'm obviously spending way too much time thinking about Lexie's signature factoids!
