To any new readers out there:

Here at Mudcat we have a strange way of taking a thread in some tangenital manner (No, I'm not talking about your genitals...or mine for that matter; I did however, recently bring up the square root of Joe Offer). This happens in two ways.

THREAD CREEP: This is not some lurking pervert, but a gradual slide over time from one subject to another and often to several others. Generally speaking you can trace the lineage with a little work, although the subjects are unrelated.

THREAD BLOWN ALL TO HELL WORLDWIDE: This takes place when the topic changes, and often repeatedly, for no conceivable reason with no linkage or lineage to be found.

This thread is an example of the latter. Please don't be intimidated. Simply take this chance to jump in and express your views on any subject you like, such as the motivational factor of hemmorhoids on increased factory production. Just go for it!
