Odd media player behaviour

This should be impossible. I left the computer playing mp3s in media

of the keys from the numeric keypad, and managed to stop the media
player while it was locked. I don't have a multimedia keyboard. All
I can think of is that the multimedia controls are actually weird
combinations of key depressions. To further confuse matters, the USB
modem disconnected my broadband at the same time.

A macaw? The real macaw, P.Hucker?

Never raise your hands to your kids.
It leaves your groin unprotected.

Did you hear about the little Indian chief who didn't know the difference between heads and tails?
He was always bringing home scalps with holes in them.

While taking down the vitals for a soon-to-be mom, I asked how much she weighed.
"I really don't know," she said.
"Well, more or less," I prompted.
"More, I guess," she answered sadly.
